Salas Extends Chip Lead

Josh Noy

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Damian Salas opened to 60,000 on the button and was met with a three-bet from Vicente Delgado in the big blind to 200,000. Salas called and the dealer turned over the 6♠7♠8♦ flop.

Delgado checked before Salas fired 90,000. Delgado used a time bank card and opted to call, then checked again on the 7♥ turn.

Salas kept his bet small, firing just 100,000. Delgado took some time before making the fold, as Salas added more chips to his growing stack before dinner break.

Ilya Nikiforov: A♦7♠
Alex Kulev: Q♦J♦

Kulev took the lead on the 3♣Q♠3♦ making two pair. Nikiforov couldn't catch up on the K♣ turn, and the K♦ river confirmed his exit from the tournament.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alex Kulev opened to 60,000 from under the gun before Damian Salas three-bet to 200,000 on his left. Thomas Santerne then used two time banks in the small blind before moving all in.

Kulev mucked, while Salas made the call.

Thomas Santerne: 10♠10♦ All in
Damian Salas: A♦6♠

Byron Kaverman Eliminated in 12th Place (€8,700)

Patrick Cole

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Byron Kaverman raised to 65,000 from under the gun leaving one 5,000 chip behind. Vicente Delgado raised all in for over 1,000,000 chips from the button. Ole Schemion pondered whether to make the call from the big blind. He eventually put in calling chips and Kaverman put in his last 5,000.

Byron Kaverman: Q♣4♣ All in
Ole Schemion: K♠7♠ All in
Vicente Delgado: Q♦J♦

The A♥K♣8♠ flop was good for Schemion, but provided Delgado with a Broadway straight draw. Schemion held through the 4♠ turn and the 2♣ river to eliminate Kaverman and secure a double through Delgado. "That's me baby!" Schemion exclaimed as he scooped the pot.

Aliaksei Boika opened from under the gun to 40,000. Damian Salas called from early position. Roberto Romanello then went all in for 310,000 from the cutoff. Boika folded and Salas made the call.

Roberto Romanello: A♦Q♦ All in
Damian Salas: 9♠9♦

The flop provided both players a piece but it was Salas who hit a set on 9♥A♣8♠. The J♣ turn provided Romanello with some straight outs but Romanello couldn't get there on the 3♠ river.

Martirosian Bubbles, Pulls €50K Bounty

Josh Noy

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Artur Martirosian opened to 45,000 from under the gun before Vicente Delgado three-bet to 135,000.

Martirosian clicked it back to 270,000 and Delgado called to the 10♣10♥7♠ flop. Martirosian led out for 120,000 and was called to the 7♥ turn.

Martirosian checked and Delgado fired 175,000. Martirosian used two time banks before making the call. The dealer revealed the 5♥ river, and Martirosian checked one last time.

Delgado bet enough to put Martirosian all in, sending his opponent into the tank. Martirosian used his final four time bank cards before making the call.

Delgado showed A♠A♦, while Martirosian could only show A♣K♣ to exit in 14th place. He did earn a significant payday thought, pulling a €50,000 bounty before exiting the tournament room — that's better than fourth-place money.
