On the feature table, a slightly inebriated Mika Maki three-bet to 8,000 and saw Feargus Murphy (23,000) and Patrik Jonsson (17,000) shove behind him in quick succession. Maki took some time before calling it off.

Patrik Jonsson:
Feargus Murphy:
Mika Maki:

The flop flipped everything upside down and gave Maki a near mortal lock on the hand. Rafael "Venicraft" Eisler burst out laughing and other tablemates couldn't hold back their smiles as well. The turn and river kept it in Maki's court and two players were eliminated.

Amazing River Skyrockets Simpson

KaleGozer

Niveau 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Tapio Jarvinen opened the action from under the gun and Alessandro Pichierri called in middle position. Unibet Ambassador Ian Simpson three-bet on the button, Jarvinen four-bet shoved for 35,100, Pichierri reshoved and Simpson called all in for 60,700.

Just like that, a pot of over 150,000 was created with the mother of all setups:

Tapio Jarvinen:
Ian Simpson:
Alessandro Pichierri:

Pichierri had both players covered and was in tremendous shape to claim the overall chip lead. The board ran out and the river had the players gasping. Everyone quickly whipped out their phone to capture the moment, including Simpson himself, who suddenly boasts a stack of 160,000. Pichierri was left with 30,000, Jarvinen was eliminated.

Those are my kings. That is my river #RunLikeIany https://t.co/LNpfbgy2in
