“Re-Entry!” Requests Tsoukernik

That sort of request only happens alongside a felting - here's how it happened: Leon Tsoukernik opened to 60,000, Preben Stokkan the only caller, in position. Tsoukernik checked the [6h5c6d] flop, Stokkan fired 50,000 and got a call. The turn brought the [Th] and a quick jam from Tsoukernik for around 440,000. 

Tsoukernik Finds Lucky Double

Leon Tsoukernik, who was leading the tournament not too long ago but lost some pots to drop down a bit, just doubled in a fortunate spot. With the blind raise/straddle of Alex Foxen under the gun, action folded to Leon Tsoukernik in the small blind, and he shoved for 796,000. Big

Leon Shoves (Twice)

With the straddle to 10,000 on by Leon Tsoukernik under the gun, Sam Grafton properly opened the action to 25,000 from the cutoff. He found callers in Christoph Vogelsang (small blind), Ben Heath (big blind), and Tsoukernik (straddle.) The action checked around on [7d9d5c], so the [3d] on the turn was

Straddle!

Eighth to the table (and the tournament) is Leon Tsoukernik, Derren Brown-ed into Level 1 by Sam Grafton, with the magic words, "I promise you. We will not make it boring!" and proceeded to gain concensus from the whole table to play this tournament's first level with a straddle. So, an
