Bercovici Doubles; Then Doubles Again

Nível 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Hari Bercovici has been very laid back these past couple of hours, but now the Israeli is really catching his stride.

Bercovici put his last 75,000 chips to the middle from the button, before Stephen Chidwick from the small blind shoved as well. Pierre Neuville in the big blind didn't look too appalled with the idea of a three-way all-in, but ultimately decided against it and folded.

Bercovici's needed to connect with the board against Chidwick's , and the Israeli did just that on the flop. Neither the turn; or the river; made Chidwick's hand the winner, and Bercovici doubled up to 165,000.

The very next hand Bercovici shoved again, this time over a 25,000 chips raise from Marcin Chmielewski. Chmielewski found the call with but was trailing badly to the of Bercovici.

The board ran out and all of a sudden Bercovici was very much alive in this tournament once again.

The board came and Jattin doubled for 130,000. He then leaned over to the other table and chatted with Philipp Gruissem. "What you were talking about ... they go all in and you look," Gruissem laughed back, as the German had just doubled not long ago with Aces.

Two Big Hands Eats Into the Last Break of the Day

Nível 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

When the tournament staff announced the 20-minute break, there was a big hand developing on both of the two remaining tables.

Neuville vs. Gruissem
On table one Pierre Neuville raised to 27,000 before Gruissem made it 62,000 to go on the button. Neuville called.

Flop came down , and Neuville check-called 55,000.

The turn was checked through before river hit the felt.

On the river Neuville checked yet again, prompting Gruissem to cut out 125,000 and slide them over the line. Neuville thought long and hard, before beginning an almost ritualistic dance with his chips. Ultimately he put in a raise to 264,000, leaving himself only about 80,000 behind.

"Why so small, don't you want it all?", Gruissem asked. Neuville didn't answer.

"You ARE a bit crazy, Pierre. Otherwise I would have folded long ago", Gruissem followed up. Still no response.

In the end he let it go, and Neuville let out a big grin while stacking the chips.

Kane vs. Ivarsson
On table two it was Kane and Ivarsson battling it out.

Preflop Ivarsson raised to 25,000, and only Kane called.

Flop came down , and Kane check-called 25,000 to see the on the turn. This time the price was 70,000 from Ivarsson, and once again Kane called.

River came , and after being checked to a third time Ivarsson bet a hefty 175,000. Kane spend a few minutes contemplating his options and ended up calling and turning over his . They were good against Ivarsson's , and the Brit scooped the pot.
