Kyllonen: J J

Philips: K K

Board: 10 6 6 5 x

They count the chips as the stacks look reasonably similar and everything gets pushed in Philips’ direction.

Go Shorty It's Your Birthday

Sep 07, '09

The shortstacks are trying to double up as the field gets smaller and smaller.

Samer Rahman bets 16,000 from the cutoff plus 1. Mike McDonald is next to act and he raises it to 42,500 from the cutoff. Mohamed Naddaf on the button pushes all in for 120,000 and Rahman gets out of the way.

McDonald watches his opponent and then shakes his head and mucks. Naddaf takes the pot.

Elsewhere, a player in middle position bets 12,000, Jens Kyllonen raises it up to 31,000 from the button, and then Michael Greco decides to make his move. He pushes all in for 148,000 from the big blind. It’s folded around and Greco rakes it in.

There are 54 remaining.

Nielsen's Nine's Enough

Feb 20, '09

It's level 23, the second level of the day, and the blinds are 10,000/20,000 with a 2,000 ante.

With the blinds of four players in the pot, it comes around to Rasmus Nielsen who raises it up.

Jens Kyllönen calls and the flop falls AQ4. Both players check. The turn is the 7 and it's checked also. Another heart sails in on the river - 9. 

Nielsen checks, Kyllonen contemplates raising but decides to check. Nielsen takes down the pot with a pair of nines he made on the river.
