Christiano Blanco gets the first walk of the final.

Table time:

Preflop Raiser                       Times blinds (20k/40k ante 4k) nicked
Sebastian Ruthenberg                                   I  (+1xwalk)
Jacob                                                           I
Andreas pushes again (for 650)                       I plus Gunnar's raise to 100k

[NoflopsHomer]

As perennial underdog supporters, we're sticking with Andreas Hoivold. He's funny and is keeping some humour at the table, whereas as everyone else is fairly serious. He's also the only non-shades wearing player, which has nothing to do with it.

He's also just pushed all in...


And Gunnar passed.

Now Sebastian's 100k raise is re-raised to 200k by Gunnar Rabe and Sebastian passes.

[NoflopsHomer]

Andreas makes it 106k, saying "Six is my lucky number."

Jacob re-raises all-in. Andreas says, "Can he do that?"

Andreas calls.

Jacob has

Andreas has

Andreas says, "May the best hand win..."

Flop:



"I don't want a King, pair the board."

Turn:



River:




Andreas has Jacob covered, which means Jacob Rasmussen is OUT in 5th place winning €139,000

Andreas has 1.1 million chips now.

[NoflopsHomer]

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

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

[Djinn]

Instant Action:  Sebastian moves in preflop...
Andreas, after a lenthy dwell, talks himself into calling with

Flop:
Turn: 
River: 

So Sebastian Ruthenberg gets a quick double up to a more playable mil.

[NoflopsHomer]

Andreas re-raises Sebastian the very next hand.

Sebastian says something along the lines of, "I'm not sure where I am.."

Andreas, "You're in Dortmund, sitting at the final table."

Sebastian passes A-J face up.
