Martin Jacobson Eliminated in Third Place (?197,904)

Martin JacobsonThings looked friendsly when Ciprian Hrisca and Martin Jacobson checked down the K63 flop.

The 8 comes on the river and Hrisca bets 100,000. Jacobson calls.

The river card is the K and Hrisca moves all in, the young Swede calls again.

Jacobson's two pair with 8x10x is not good enough and Hrisca takes the pot down after making the flush on the turn with 102.

And then there were two...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friendlier than Usual

Checked all the way up until the river on a board of 109359, Hrisca puts in a bet of 190,000 and Jacobson calls. Hrisca shows 8-5 for two pair, nines and fives, and Jacobson shows A-Q for ace high.

Lucky Jacobson

Martin JacobsonBack from break not even five minutes and there is another all in situation. This time between Martin Jacobson and ...yet again ... William Fry. Jacobson holds 89 and Fry flips over KJ.

K83 falls on the flop. Things look good for Fry on the A turn, but Jacobson sucks out when the 8 drops on the river.

Still three to go, but at this rate it may not be long before we are heads up.

Break Time

Players are on a break at the moment. Only three will return for the final session of the 2008 Hungarian Open.

Their chip counts are:

William Fry: 2,289,000

Jacobson: 738,000

After the break we will be into level 25 and the blinds will be 20,000/40,000 with a 4,000 ante.

 

Iversen gets Fried

Martin Jacobson was on the big blind for 30,000, and Albert Iversen shoved all in for 317,000. William Fry, who seems to be involved in nearly every hand, decides to call.

The small and big blind fold and the boards comes down:

K10576

Fry: 88

Iversen: 79

Fry wins once again, he is now the chip leader with 2,289,000 chips.

 

Crazy Pot; Serenelli Out

Our latest bust occurred during a bit of a crazy pot. Preflop, Marino Serenelli raises to 85,000 and William Fry reraises to 140,000. Serenelli calls and we see a flop of Q76. Serenelli checks, Fry bets 90,000 and Serenelli calls. The turn is the 2, Serenelli checks and Fry  pushes all in. The Italian calls and the river is the 7. Serenelli reveals 85 for a busted straight draw, and Fry shows J6 for a simple pair of sixes. Fry is now on 1,921,000.

 

5,4,3,2,1!

There are five players left to go and the blinds are 15,000/30,000.

 

Deep Fried!

William FryPreflop, Iversen raises and William Fry goes all in for 503,000. Iversen calls. Fry has pocket nines versus Iversen's AK.

Board: Q9447

Fry goes deeper, while Iversen falls behind.

Gino Gotta Go

Ciprian Hrisca min raises preflop, Alacqua comes over the top all in for 272,000. Iversen calls, Marino Serenelli and William Fry fold and Hrisca goes into the tank. Hrisca then decides to call, and it's time for the flop: J108. Hrisca checks, Iversen makes a bet of 240,000, and Hrisca calls. The turn is the J, and it's check-check to the river which is the 9. Hrisca shows A10 and Alaqua AQ, and Alacqua becomes the victim of the hot shot Romanian.
