Gunnar raises 60k after Christiano had limped. He calls the raise.



Christiano checks. Gunnar bets 80k. Christiano makes it 180k. Gunnar calls.

Turn:



Christiano bets 180k. Gunnar calls.

River:



Check check. And Gunnars beats Christano's

[Djinn]

New counts:

Andreas Hoivold     1,300,000
Sebastian Ruthenberg  750,000
Christiano Blanco    1,300,000
Gunnar Rabe         1,700,000

Pictured:  the full final, and Andreas on his own.

[NoflopsHomer]

Sebastian raises, Gunnar and Andreas called.

Flop:



Checked around.

Turn:



Checked to Sebastian who bets 140k. Gunnar check/raises to 600k. Andreas dwells and folds, Sebastian also quickly mucks.

Sebastian only has about 400k now.

[Djinn]

Christiano makes a preflop raise, no action.
When Gunnar does the same, Andreas calls on the button... The blinds get out of the way and the flop comes: 
Gunnar bets 120k (into a pot now over 260k).  Andreas calls.
Turn:    Gunnar checks, Andreas checks
River:  Check-check  Gunnar shows AK and Andreas' pocket Eights win him that pot.

This whole hand, I might add, took less than a minute and a half.  Maybe that ultra slow play people were talking about earlier dissipates on the final to some extent.

[NoflopsHomer]

Revised chip counts:

Andreas Hoivold -- 1.4 million
Sebastian Ruthenberg -- 400k
Christiano Blanco -- 1.1 million
Gunnar Rabe -- 2.2 million.

[Djinn]

Sebastian Ruthenberg now has ten big blinds.  It's therefore not surprising that he's moved in on the button, giving Christiano something to think about, clearly, as he counts out the pink 10k chips necessary for a call, lifts his sunglasses and gives the young German a stare.  He decides against it, and big blind Gunnar was just waiting to pass, and Sebastian's picked up 72k with that push.

Christiano makes a preflop raise, no action.
When Gunnar does the same, Andreas calls on the button... The blinds get out of the way and the flop comes: 
Gunnar bets 120k (into a pot now over 260k).  Andreas calls.
Turn:    Gunnar checks, Andreas checks
River:  Check-check  Gunnar shows AK and Andreas' pocket Eights win him that pot.

This whole hand, I might add, took less than a minute and a half.  Maybe that ultra slow play people were talking about earlier dissipates on the final to some extent.

Case of two big stacks playing smallball against each other, I can guarantee either or both would be a lot more aggressive if they weren't the two biggest stacks. Plus both probably felt they had hands good enough for showdown.

[Djinn]

Heads up on a flop of   Christiano checks, Gunnar bets 100k.  When he gets a pass, he shows .
_________________________

After a one hand gap, Sebastian moves all in preflop once more.  Andreas says, "Do you want me to call or fold?"
"I don't care."
"I better look at my cards then.  I think I'm folding.  I am folding."
Sebastian shows a Seven and Andreas says "60/40 then."  I think he might be stealing the show, if nothing else.

[NoflopsHomer]

is the flop in a 3 way limped pot between Gunnar, Andreas and Sebastian, checked to Gunnar who bets 70k and the blinds fold.

__________________________________

Gunnar makes it 100k from utg. Andreas and Sebastian fold and so does Christiano

__________________________________

Andreas raises to 106k. Christiano moves all-in.

"Do you have a pair? you know you have seen your cards! Check again!" says Andreas.

"I don't speak very good English." answers Christiano.

"Your English is better than my Italian," replies Andreas.

Andreas passes.

"You could've always done that with a lousy Ace King..."

Christiano, "I'm sorry."

Andreas, "You're sorry? I'm sorry."

[Djinn]

Limp from Christiano on the last hand of the level, but Gunnar's not as keen on a four-way flop as Andreas and raises to 140k.  Christiano calls.
Heads up for the Flop:    Check-check
Turn:    Christiano checks, so does Gunnar
River:    also checked.

Christiano takes it with , it looks like, beating Gunnar's A-J.

This guy Andreas sounds like a real character.Looking forward to watching this on the box when it comes out.

[Djinn]

New counts as the break draws to a close:

Andreas Hoivold     1,361,000
Sebastian Ruthenberg  457,000
Cristiano Blanco       1,082,000    (We have now had 'official' spellings Christiano and Cristiano - anyone know the real one?)
Gunnar Rabe          2,146,000

[Gowardo]

Yeah,

I reckon Andreas will be an interesting player to watch play (and not just because of his play style). He has provided some real entertainment in the past two days even though I have been missing his 'faces' today.
