On the 6 Kluss bet 40,000. Franke made it 80,000. Kluss then clicked it up for to 120,000. Franke called and was all in. The players showed down on the 4 river.

In 2-7 Triple Draw, Joshua Theilemann opened to 30,000 from the small blind. Kluss made it 45,000. Theilemann called. Thielemann pat and Kluss drew three. “You take no cards? What the fuck is this? Punish him dealer” said Kluss. Thielemann bet 15,000 and Kluss said “ok, I raise” before making it 30,000. Thielemann called. He stood pat again and Kluss drew one. Theilemann bet 15,000, Kluss raised all in for 31,000. Thielemann called. Both pat the last draw.

Across two hands of Stud Hi, Franke has dispatched Grzegorz Iskra and Juergen Fittschen. Fittschen was all in on third street, and the players showed down.

Fittschen had 2 10 Q 5 9 6 4 for queen-high, and Franke’s 10 10 J 8 3 5 4 was good to take the pot and score a second elimination in quick succession.

Action was picked up with seven-card stud action in play. Franke went to bet his hand with 8 8 J and Bianchi went to muck Q 10 . Franke then said, “I check I will be nice.” He then hit the J and snap-led for 20,000 before the dealer gave Bianchi another Q . Bianchi called.

Franke led again on his 7 , Bianchi had the 2 . “This is a very strange hand, I have two pairs. You go to bet then you check.” Bianchi went into the tank before finding the laydown with queens and fours. Franke revealed he made trip eights.

The Festival’s resident Dutchman, Melvin Schroen, has missed out on the Baby TORSES Supreme Final Table as he fell during a Sviten Special hand.

Gerardas Lukšėnas and Liutauras Armanavičius decided to flip for the trophy. Armanavičius had 9 6 , and Gerardas Lukšėnas had Q 3 . Lukšėnas took the lead on the 2 Q J flop, and Armanavičius was drawing dead on the 3 turn.

His 5 5 was in bad shape on the flop against Raila’s A J , as the dealer fanned the A 10 3 flop. The 10 gave both players two pair, but the 5 gave Armanavičius a full house.

Action was picked up with all in and call was announced. Sigitas Raila moved all in from the big blind over an under the gun open from Kęstutis Jungevičius, who had A Q . Raila had A 9 . It was plain sailing for Jungevičius across the 2 2 10 6 flop and turn, but the 9 river bailed Raila out and kept him in the tournament.

A hand or two later, Raila was all in again with A K from the cutoff. Gerardas Lukšėnas made the call from the big blind with A 9 . He picked up a flush draw on the K 10 J flop, but couldn’t hit across the A turn or J river.

In the TORSES final day, Giorgio Savignone was all in for 10,000 in Seven Card Stud. He was called by Quentin Spyckerelle, who had him covered. He made queens up across the seven streets, and Savignone could only catch a pair of jacks.
