Eskes’ Aces Hold Strong to Knock Out Erlandsson
Siegfried Kapeller started the action with a raise to 40,000 from the button. Tjenno Eskes, sitting in the small blind, responded with a three-bet to 140,000. In the big blind, Daniel Erlandsson, after using a time bank card, made it a four-bet to 240,000. Kapeller folded, and the action returned to Eskes. After using a time bank card, Eskes five-bet to 450,000. Erlandsson, checking the opponents' stacks, moved all-in for around 1,650,000, prompting a quick call from Eskes.
Daniel Erlandsson: A?K?
Tjenno Eskes: A?A?
Erlandsson was caught behind, needing a miracle to stay alive. The flop came 4?K?6?, giving him some hope as he needed another king. However, the 10? turn and 4? river didn’t deliver, eliminating Erlandsson and sending Eskes to the top of the leaderboard with a massive boost.
