Visser Closes the Gap

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The two biggest stacks just battled in the blinds and the hand ended with Ruben Visser closing the gap at the top.

The action folded around to Olof Haglund in the small blind and he raised up to 155,000. Visser defended his big blind to see a {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop where he called a 160,000 c-bet from the Swede.

No more chips ventured forwards through the {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} turn and river. Visser opened {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and took the pot as Haglund mucked.

Steve O'Dwyer Eliminated in 5th Place (£146,000)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Ruben Visser raised to 125,000 from the button and Steve O'Dwyer re-shoved from the small blind for 1,130,000. Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen was seated in the big blind and he quickly moved all in over the top. Visser let go of his hand and an all-in showdown was upon us.

Theo Jorgensen: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and O'Dwyer was knocked out. The American pro finished second last year in this event and a fifth place now can only be considered an extremely impressive result. Play continues with just four players, all of which have more than 50 big blinds!

Another huge clash just happened at the feature table! Ruben Visser raised under the gun to 115,000 and Christopher Frank three-bet to 270,000 from the button. The action was back on Visser and he decided to move all in. Frank made the call and the showdown went as following.

Christopher Frank: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Ruben Visser: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Visser scored a huge knockout! Frank was eliminated in sixth place and Visser is now very close to being the chip leader together with Olof Haglund.

Jorgensen let go of his hand and the German youngster showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Frank pulled off a nice bluff and is now in close the being second in chips.

Tamer Kamel Eliminated in 7th Place (£79,950)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Tamer Kamel
Tamer Kamel

The United Kingdom was the only country with an EPT winner in every season so far, except for this season. Hopes of extending that record into Season 9 have been dashed after the second, and last reaming Brit, busted from the tournament.

Tamer Kamel moved all in from under the gun for 495,000 and was called by Olof Haglund from the button.

Kamel: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Haglund: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The board ran a blue and yellow {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} to pair Haglund's queen.
