Theelen Injects Some Adrenaline into Table 10, Eliminates Demydenko
Pieter Theelen was dealt premiums in back-to-back hands which brought some adrenaline to the table.
First, Aleksandr Razinkov raised to 40,000 from under the gun and Theelen made it 120,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Razinkov, he shoved for around 700,000, and Theelen snap-called.
Aleksandr Razinkov: K?K? 
Pieter Theelen: K?K?
Both had the same hand but Razinkov was freerolling after the flop of Q?9?6? gave him a flush draw. Luckily for Theelen, the board bricked out, coming 8?10?, which meant they chopped the pot.
In the very next hand, Theelen raised to 40,000 from under the gun and Tetiana Demydenko shoved for around 300,000 from middle position. When it got back to Theelen, he called.
Tetiana Demydenko: 10?10?
Pieter Theelen: Q?Q?
Theelen managed to win this one as the runout of J?6?9?5?2? kept his pocket queens in the lead, which sent Demydenko to the rail.
"It was such a relaxing vibe, then just all this adrenaline out of nowhere," said Theelen after the hand. "You see guys, I only play these kinds of hands," he added.
