In the first hour of the day we've seen lots of action on one of the outer tables involving the big stacks of Rasmus Agerskov and Bogdan Petrescu. While Agerskov won a little bit, mostly due to him losing some chips in other pots, it was Petrescu who lost some serious chips.
First Agerskov raised to 41,000 and from his immediate left Petrescu three-bet to 95,000. The action folded back around to Agerskov who made it 232,000 to go. Petrescu folded and Agerskov picked up the pot.
A few hands later Agerskov raised again and Petrescu three-bet to 91,000. This time Agerskov four-bet to 246,000 and yet again he picked up the pot.
Danny Neess raised to 40,000 before the flop and Ievgen Zhadan moved all in for 168,000 chips. The action folded back around to Neess who quickly made the call.

The board ran out and Zhadan raked in a much needed double up.
After half an hour of play at the last day of the Unibet Open Copenhagen, all the Dutch and Belgian players have been eliminated. The tournament had one of both nations, and the two of them got knocked out in the same hand.
Tim van Meene shoved all-in from early position for his last 134,000 chips and Davy De Cooman on the button made the call with about 100,000 behind. Big blind Pavlos Xanthopoulos shoved over the top all-in and De Cooman tanked for a bit before calling.

Two of the aces were accounted for, but a third one popped up on the flop nonetheless: .
The on the turn changed nothing and the on the river made things official. Both Dutch speaking players were gone in the same hand, Van Meene (25th for €2.815) making slightly less than De Cooman (24th for €3.217).
