Nikiforov Doubles With a Duck

Nível 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ilya Nikiforov was down to 28,500 chips and put them all in when the action folded to him on the button. Markkos Ladev was in the big blind and looked him up.

Ilya Nikiforov: Ax2x
Markkos Ladev: AxQx

Nikiforov was looking for deuce to stay alive in the €25,000 High Roller, and he was immediately presented with one on the 4♠5♠2♣ flop. Now it was Ladew who needed to hit to get at least a part of this pot. However, the J♦ turn and 6♥ river bricked for him and he doubled up his opponent.

Both players are now hovering around the 20 big blind mark.

AndrewK47

Nível 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ben Heath opened to 6,000 from under the gun and Michel Dattani put in a three-bet to 18,000 from middle position. The rest of the table got out of the way and Heath announced all in, well covering the 94,000 total for Dattani, who quickly called for his tournament life.

Michel Dattani: 10♦10♣
Ben Heath: Q♣Q♥

Dattani was in need of help to stay alive, and when the board ran out K♦K♥2♠2♦7♥, it was the queens for Heath that held up to send Dattani to the exit.

Antonius Flops an Ace to Oust Silva

Nível 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Patrik Antonius raised his button to 7,000 before Pablo Silva three-bet to 20,000 from the big blind. Antonius then put his opponent all-in by putting enough chips in the middle to cover his stack of roughly 100,000. Silva snap called and the two showed down.

Pablo Silva: K♣K♠
Patrik Antonius: A♣10♠

Silva was in good shape for a double-up, but the A♦4♥3♥ saw him drawing to two direct outs. No king or chop came about as a pair of sixes completed the board: 6♦6♠.

Antonius added another 100,000 to his tower of chips while Silva took his leave with 8 tables remaining.

The flop came A♦K♥J♦ and Seidel continued for 8,500, which Ketzer called. On the 4♦ turn both players checked their options to the 9♣ river.

MattHansen

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Dominik Nitsche raised to 5,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Adrian Mateos for a call from the big blind.

The flop was 2♥9♥5♠ and Mateos check-called a 7,000 bet from Nitsche to see 6♣ on the turn.

Both players checked the turn and 8♠ appear on the river. Mateos fired 28,000 and Nitsche thought about it before he gave up the pot.

You Know What They Say

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Enrico Camosci and Barak Wisbrod were battling over a pot worth 18,500 chips. They were on a flop of 3♠5♠3♦ and big blind Wisbrod check-raised Camosci's bet from the button to 16,000. Camosci threw in the extra chips required, and a A♦ turn was dealt.

Wisbrod now fired again, this time for 25,000. Once more, Camosci made the call.

On the Q♠ river Wisbrod used one time bank extension before betting a notably small 10,500. Camosci did not waste much time as he almost instantly called.

Wisbrod showed A♠5♣ for two pair and Camosci tabled A♥5♥ for the same two pair. The players chopped the pot as some chuckling ensued on the table.

The next hand Ben heath open-raised to 5,000 and got everyone to fold. He has won a large sum of chips since the break ended, adding over 200,000 to his already big stack. He now sits on over 11 starting stacks, and looks to be atop the leaderboard.
