The nine players are back from the break and brought some fresh motivation and great mood.
First, Jens Lakemeier opened to 160,000 and folded to the button-shove of Grzegorz Wyraz. William Kassouf in the big blind instigated the showing of cards and Lakemeier showed , Kassouf had and Wyraz turned over his to cause some more banter at the table.
Next up was the guessing of age, Kassouf mentioned he is turning 35 years old tomorrow and Cimbolas said he was 10 years younger. Lakemeier then chimed in and said he was the youngest with 22 years old. "Sorry to disappoint you, I am also 22," Tue Ullerup Hansen said.
They played some poker, too, but nothing really happened.
The pace since dinner break has slowed down significantly both in terms of the number of hands played and the size of the pots. A lot of talk, but not much action with about half an hour of play with most of the hands being decided before or on the flop.
William Kassouf has talked the past few hands about when he was going to get it all in, and did one time to get to around 900,000. However, very shortly after he was in the big blind and called a raise from the cutoff from chip leader Tue Ullerup Hansen who bet 180,000.
After the flop came , Kassouf checked and his opponent bet 100,000. Kassouf, who was already talking before the bet, continued to do so when the action was on him. Among other things, he asked his opponent, "Is that all?" referring to his bet of slightly more than one big blind.
Kassouf folded, but told the table that he had an ace.
For the second time today, William Kassouf has doubled through Grzegorz Wyraz. The latter opened to 160,000 from the cutoff and Kassouf moved all in. "720 bangers say I have kings," Kassouf added. Wyraz asked for a count and the shove was indeed for 720,000. Wyraz sighed and then said "I can't fold," and tossed in the chips for a call.
Patrick Serda opened to 175,000 from under the gun, having started well after the dinner break, and Jens Lakemeier defended the big blind. On the flop, Lakemeier check-called a bet worth 150,000 and the duo then checked the turn. Lakemeier bet the river for 350,000 and Serda folded.
Paul Leckey open-shoved from early position and the action folded to Ihar Soika on the button. He asked for a count, and after Leckey's shove was deemed to be for 665,000, Soika reshoved to isolate successfully.
Paul Leckey:
Ihar Soika:
"Oh wow, nice hand," Leckey said. After the flop and the turn, Leckey stood up from his chair ready to go. The last time he did that, a two-outer on the river had saved him. And it would happen again, as the appeared to let the Brit double.
