Leonard With Some "Speech Play"
Nível 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Mikita Badizakouski in the small blind and he shoved all in. Big blind Patrick Leonard had a stack of 158,000 and a big decision.
"I have a big one," Leonard said, "A big one!"
Leonard waited for the hand on the other table to finish before he again started talking.
"I wished you had opened. I think I dominate you a lot" he started. "Can you tell me your range?" he asked Badziakouski.
"I would say something like nines and ace-queen" Badziakouski answered with a smile, something not many seemed to believe.
"How would you play king-five?" Leonard asked.
"I would say both options are fine, raising and shoving" Leonard answered.
Ole Schemion called the clock but since the tournament clock has been paused as long as the bubble continues, that was of no real use.
Leonard offered Badziakouski to swap 2% of his to 6% of him. Badziakouske declined, saying that wasn't fair to the other players. Schemion, with a smile and just as friendly, raised an eyebrow and looked at the floor while saying he didn't think that should be allowed.
Leonard eventually folded, claiming to have had 
. Badziakouski showed the 
as he raked in the small pot.
Shorties Keep Shoving
Nível 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Although there's a €46,180 bubble looming, none of the short stacks appear to be scared money. In the past orbit, Ramin Hajiyev (2x), Patrick Leonard and Allan Sannier all put their stacks in the middle at one point. Each time, the loot consisted of just blinds and antes.

Nível 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Adrian Mateos in the small blind and he pushed all in to put the decision on Davidi Kitai. The Belgian all time moneyleader (for now, Kenny Hallaert could surpass him if he does well at the WSOP Main Event Final Table next week) called.
Davidi Kitai: 
Adrian Mateos: 
The board ran out 
and Kitai doubled his 122,000 stack.

Nível 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Allan Sannier: 
Adrian Mateos: 
Mateos was at risk but got lucky on the flop: 
. The 
on the turn and 
on the river were inconsequential cards and Mateos got his double-up.

Silver Doubles on the Bubble
Nível 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
From the cutoff, Max Silver raised to 18,000. Oleksii Khoroshenin on the button called and small blind Allan Sannier squeezed to 56,000.
Adrian Mateos folded his big blind and action was back on Silver. The Englishman four-bet to 56,000 and Khoroshenin quickly released his cards into the muck. Sannier shoved just as fast and Silver, while not over enthusiastic, called for 265,000 total.
Allan Sannier: 
Max Silver: 
Despite the French rail asking for an ace, the board came 
and Silver doubled.

Dinner Break
Nível 16
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Patrick Leonard suggested postponing the dinner break till the bubble would burst. All players seemed to agree except for Ole Schemion. Since no consensus was reached, the scheduled 90-minute break just started with still 10 players remaining. When the players return in an hour and a half, the blinds will be at 4,000/8,000 with a 1,000-ante.
