Bad Day for Kivu

Nível 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After he already reentered once today, Alexis Kivu found himself in a tough spot once again.

On a board of 6♥J♠A♣9♣7♦ with roughly 25,000 in the pot, Lucian Alexoi shoved for 17,500 from middle position. Then Alexis Kivu in the cutoff went deep into the tank. And as he couldn't make a decision, the clock was called. He waited 25 more seconds, and eventually called.

Lucian Alexoi: 9♥9♠
Alexis Kivu: K♥K♠

Kivu's kings were cracked by a set of nines. Down to 10,000, Kivu was eliminated a few hands later.

Laurentiu Eliminated by Nodea

Nível 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

After two limps, Andrei Nodea raised to 2,500 from the cutoff. Marius Laurentiu called on the button, but Bogdan Berinde squeezed to 11,500 from the small blind. The limpers folded, then Nodea called, as well as Laurentiu, who was all in.

Berinde and Nodea checked the flop 2♦5♦Q♦ and the turn 6♠. But on the river K♠, Nodea bet 12,500. Enough to make Berinde fold.

Marius Laurentiu: A♣5♣
Andrei Nodea: K♣Q♣

Laurentiu's ace-high was beaten by Nodea's two pair, so he was eliminated.

No Hope for Coman

Nível 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ioannis Kateinas opened to 2,600 from under the gun, then Andreia Coman to his left shoved for 23,800. In middle position, Catalin Leahu asked for the count and called. All the other players folded, including Kateinas.

Andreia Coman: 8♥8♣
Catalin Leahu: A♣Q♦

Leah didn't wait to hit two pair on A♠Q♥9♣5♣7♥, leaving Coman with no chance.

As she already reentered the tournament today, Coman is definitely eliminated from Day 1b and will have to play on Day 2c or 1d to try to qualify for Day 2.

Royal Flush for Matei

Nível 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

"I opened, there was a call, he shoved for 12 blinds, and I called," explained Alexandru Matei with a big smile while Christopher Heidelbacher was leaving the table.

Christopher Heidelbacher: A♦K♠
Alexandru Matei: K♣Q♣

Matei had reasons to smile as he hit the best possible hand, a royal flush, on a board of J♣K♥10♣Q♦A♣. Thanks to this hand, he is now one of the chip leaders with 152,000 chips.

Shahar Hits a Straight on the Turn to Eliminate Cosmin

Nível 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was caught on a flop of 3♦4♦5♦, with 30,000 in the pot and Andrei "andreiCoz" Cosmin all in for 39,000 in middle position.

Ran Shahar was into the tank in the big blind, and he eventually called.

Andrei Cosmin: J♥J♠
Ran Shahar: 6♠4♠

The 7♥ landed on the turn, and Shahar punched the table to celebrate his straight, which left Cosmin drawing dead.

"Nice hand," Cosmin said on the river 5♠, before leaving the table.

Berinde Descends Into Hell

Nível 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 4,000 ante

Bogdan Berinde had more than the average stack a few minutes ago. But he was down to 36,000 when he moved all in from the button.

Andrei Ciuca, who doubled through him a bit earlier, went into the tank, but seemed like he had to call.

Bogdan Berinde: K♥Q♣
Andrei Ciuca: 3♥3♦

Berinde's descent into hell continued as Ciuca hit a set on the flop 3♣7♣Q♦. And even if Berinde had a set on the turn Q♠, it gave a full house to Ciuca who eliminated Berinde after the river 10♥.

Eight Eliminations in 15 Minutes

Nível 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 6,000 ante

There were 27 players left when Level 13 started. But only 15 minutes later, eight of them were out, most of them because they had between 5 and 15 blinds.

However, Dan Petrea is an exception, because when he moved all in for 28,000 from the button, he doubled through Ran Shahar in the hijack.

Dan Petrea: A♣A♥
Ran Shahar: A♠8♣

On a board of J♥7♥6♦Q♥9♦, he won with his aces. And he doubled up again a few hands later, once more against Shahar.

Degen Eliminated by Stefan

Nível 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 6,000 ante

Jonas Degen under the gun and Gheorghe Stefan on the button flipped their cards preflop, with Stefan being the one at risk for 110,000.

Gheorghe Stefan: A♥Q♦
Jonas Degen: K♦K♥

The flop 2♥10♦Q♥ brought a queen for Stefan, then a second one came with the turn Q♠ to give him trips. And after the river 9♠, Stefan doubled up.

Down to 25,000, Degen moved all in on the next hand, and faced Stefan again.

Jonas Degen: Q♦7♦
Gheorghe Stefan: K♠4♠

Once again, Stefan won this hand on 5♥4♦6♥6♠K♥, and Degen was sent to the rail.

Two more eliminations are needed to reach the money and end Day 1b.
