Toni Ojala was very short stacked and had to do something about it, one player called the Big Blind, and Toni pushed for 3200, everybody folded until the last guy who called the big blind and he also made the call of Tonis bet. Toni showed A7 off suit, his opponent showed K6 of spades, time for the flop. A4J, and Toni was long ahead with his pair of aces but one of the cards was a spade, so hopefully no spade on the turn to kill the hand. The turn is 9 of spades, and you can see in Tonis face how much that card hurt him, the river….8 of HEARTS! Double up for Toni, now has about 7000.

Ramzi Jelassi was very active on his table, and was re stealing every second hand, it worked well and his stack was about 13.000 when he got dealt A5 and bet 1.000 pre flop, got re raised to 3.300. Ramzi felt that he was trying to steal from him because he had been so active lately, so he pushed all his stack into the middle. His opponent snap called with A7 and Ramzi needed some help from the flop. The flop showed x-x-5! Now Ramzi had the lead in this almost 30.000 big pot, no 7s and Ramzi wins. The turn is x. Only three sevens left in the deck, and the river is a….7! Again Ramzi has lost on the river. Ramzi is out, he played his aggressive style of poker, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. We all still like Ramzi, and he will soon be back, maybe already in a week for a tournament in Paris!

Chip Counts:
Toni Ojala, 7.000
Jesper Höög, 11.000
Per Linde, 30.000
Shandon Clarke, 7.000
