Petkov Doubles in Four-Way Pot

Nível 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Christian Rudolph had opened from under the gun and Jacob Amsellem made the call from the next seat over. Lachezar Petkov then joined in from the small blind, as did Miroslav Salaj from the big blind.

The quartet saw a flop of Q♦9♥5♦, which got checked to Amsellem. He opted to bet 125,000, after which Petkov made it 350,000 to go. Petkov and Rudolph got out of the way before Amsellem went all in, covering the 885,000 chips in Petkov's stack.

Petkov snap called and the cards went open.

Lachezar Petkov: 9♠9♦
Jacob Amsellem: 6♦2♦

Amsellem's flush draw would be no good once Petkov's set became a full house on the 5♠ turn. The 8♠ river was meaningless, and Petkov overtook Amsellem in the chip counts by doubling up.

Dato and Rezaei Depart in Quick Succession

[user38873]

Nível 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Andrea Dato had carefully waited for a spot to get his chips in only to find his premium hand in pocket jacks dominated. Aliaksandr Shylko had the K♣K♦ and remained ahead all the way on the A♥4♣3♦A♣6♣ board.

Daniel Rezaei was next to fall. Having previously lost a showdown pot to Jonathan Pastore, he was in there for the last eight big blinds with pocket sixes. Eusebiu Jalba took the flop with the A♣K♦ and spiked one of the overcards on the K♥9♥7♠Q♠2♣ runout.

Amsellem Hits the Flop to Crush Verhoef

Nível 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Miroslav Salaj raised to 55,000 in early position and Christian Rudolph and Jacob Amsellem both called. Leon Verhoef then moved all in for 550,000 in the small blind.

Salaj tanked for a minute before picking up his cards and slamming them down in the muck. Rudolph quickly folded, but Amsellem called.

Leon Verhoef: 8♦8♥
Jacob Amsellem: K♠10♣

The 10♥3♠9♠ flop gave Amsellem the lead with a pair of tens, and Verhoef couldn't catch up on the 6♣ turn or 9♦ river and was sent to the rail.

Bogdanov Sucks Out to Eliminate Bohdanov and Maugini

Nível 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Vittorio Maugini open-jammed his last 105,000 chips from the cutoff before Renat Bohdanov made it 200,000 to go from the button. Yulian Bogdanov then four-bet to 1,000,000 and the action folded back to Bohdanov, who went all in for 1,305,00.

Bogdanov made the call and all cards were tabled.

Vittorio Maugini: K♥5♥
Renat Bohdanov: 10♠10♦
Yulian Bogdanov: 9♠9♥

It was a great spot for Bohdanov, but Bogdanov hit a set on 8♠9♣2♠. The 4♦ gave no additional outs for Bohdanov, and the J♠ river did not bring a ten either.

Maugini was eliminated in 72nd place, while Bohdanov received a payjump to €22,150 for finishing in 71st.

Hallay Calls Down Sammartino in Massive Pot

Nível 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Axel Hallay opened to 50,000 in the hijack and Vito Vella called on the button. Dario Sammartino then three-bet to 225,000 in the small blind and both opponents called.

The flop came A♦9♥4♣ and Sammartino led out for 180,000. Hallay called, while Vella got out of the way.

Sammartino bet another 400,000 on the 10♦ turn and Hallay again called. The river was the 3♠.

Sammartino then moved all in for 855,000. Hallay ripped off his sunglasses as he went deep into the tank.

"Something is telling me to call," he said as he took around five minutes. Hallay eventually called and turned over A♥Q♣.

Sammartino, though, had A♣K♥ and Hallay was once again left shaking his head as the massive pot was pushed to Sammartino.

Chidwick Wheels D'Anselmo Out

Nível 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised on the button, then called when small blind Nicola D'Anselmo moved all in for 205,000.

Nicola D'Anselmo: A♥8♥
Stephen Chidwick: A♦2♦

Chidwick was dominated heading to the 4♦10♥6♣ flop. The 3♦ fell on the turn, while the 5♣ river improved him to a straight and sent D'Anselmo looking for the payout desk.

Armstrong Makes a Move at the Wrong Time

[user38873]

Nível 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Alf Martinsson raised from the hijack and was called by Michael Armstrong on the button, Alexander Tkatschew also came along in the big blnd as well. The Q♣3♥3♠ flop was checked to Armstrong, who continued for 55,000. Tkatschew got out of the way but Martinsson called.

That led the duo to the 5♥ turn on which Martinsson check-called for another 90,000. The 10♠ river was checked by the Swede once more and Armstrong pushed all-in. No count was asked upon as Martinsson snap-called.

Already knowing his fate, Armstrong flipped over the K♦J♦ for a king-high bluff and Martinsson dealt the final blow with the A♠A♣.

"It was fun," the Canadian said on his way out of the tournament area.

Nível 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With around 350,000 in the pot on a board of Q♠10♥A♠6♣, Axel Hallay bet another 350,000 from the big blind before small blind Hyunsup Kim raised to 700,000.

Hallay called and the 10♦ fell on the river. Kim checked over to Hallay who moved all in. Kim snap-called for his last 400,000 and turned over K♠J♥ for the flopped straight.

Hallay shook his head in disbelief as he flashed A♣K♦ before giving up the massive pot.

Binar Spikes the River to Double; Sturm Takes Out Liu

Nível 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Pavel Binar moved all in for 165,000 on the button and Michele Tocci called in the big blind.

Pavel Binar: Q♣9♦
Michele Tocci: K♣10♣

The flop came 5♣4♥2♣ and Tocci took an even bigger lead with a flush draw. The 3♥ turn was no help to Binar and he was a card away from elimination, but he hit the Q♦ on the river as Tocci flung his arms in the air in frustration before handing over the pot.

At the same time at another table, Wing Po Liu was already all in with a short stack as Leon Sturm and Serkan Kuru went to the river on a board of J♦10♥J♠7♠J♣, with 85,000 in the main pot and 125,000 in the side pot.

Sturm then bet another 85,000 from the big blind and Kuru gave it some thought before mucking on the button. Sturm then turned over K♣10♣ for a full house and Po's cards hit the muck as the recent bracelet winner was busted shortly before dinner break.

Hallay Eliminates Kabir With Over-Bet

Nível 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Keneshka Kabir had open-raised preflop from early position and Axel Hallay made the call from the button. Vito Vella also came along from the big blind and the three saw a flop of 2♦6♠9♠.

Vella checked to Kabir, who made a bet of 75,000. Hallay called, while Vella got out of the way. On the 7♥ turn, Kabir slowed down and checked, prompting Hallay to bet 125,000 himself. Now it was Kabir who made the call, and the K♣ river completed the board.

Kabir checked once more before Hallay over-bet jammed, covering the 720,000 chips that Kabir had behind. Kabir did not take long before flicking in a call and Hallay showed K♠7♠ for two pair.

Kabir had to show his 9♥8♥ for second pair, as is customary with all-in showdowns. The former chipleader left the tournament area, while Hallay crossed the three-million mark by adding Kabir's chips to his own.
