Andries Swart Leading €1,000 Side Event; Table and Seat Draw Below

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Dutch player Andries Swart is chip leader going in to Day 2 of the €1,000 No-Limit Hold'em side event (Event #18) with 44 players left. A total of 339 players entered, creating a €328,830 prize pool with €85,590 for first. From the remaining field, 36 places will get paid so the tournament is pretty near the bubble.

Hernandez vs. Karamalikis

Olvedo Heinze raised to 24,000 from the hijack only to have Elias Gutierrez Hernandez three-bet to 55,000 from the cutoff. Jonathan Karamalikis then four-bet to 128,000 from the button, Heinze folded, and Hernandez made a long call.

The {9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} saw Hernandez check-called a bet of 75,000 before both players checked the {K-Diamonds} turn. When the {10-Clubs} was put out on the river, Hernandez fired out 180,000 and Karamalikis snap-folded. Hernandez then showed {K-Spades}{10-Spades} before stacking the pot.

Kings Good for Fernandez

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Marcos Fernandez
Marcos Fernandez

Italian Mauro Canavese bet 55,000 from the small blind on the board reading {3-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} and Marcos Fernandez raised to 135,000 on the button. Canavese called and the dealer opened the {2-Clubs} on the river. Both players checked and Fernandez showed {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} for a pair of kings which was enough to collect the pot as Canavese mucked his hand.

"What a Turn. Wow."

We're not sure of the action, but we do know a massive pot was just created between Kevin Weiland and Mikolaj Zawadzki. The former was all in for around 600,000 with {A-Spades}{K-Spades} on a {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} flop only to be up against the {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} of Zawadzki.

A shell-shocked Weiland watched as the {2-Hearts} river put an end to his tournament and gave his opponent the massive pot. "What a turn. Wow," Zawadzki said as he stacked the pot.

A Bust Over Here, A Bust Over There

We've had a flurry of bust-outs over the last ten minutes. Ben Jackson and Regis Burlot, both British players, busted within seconds of each other.

Burlot was the first to go. He three-bet all his chips with {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} from the hijack after Jonathan Karamalikis opened from the seat in front of him. The latter made a quick call with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and the board ran {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{q-Spades} to make the Aussie a full house.

Jackson was sat on the next table and open shoved for around 118,000 from late position, and was called by Ibon Merino in the next seat. Jackson's {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} failed to overcome the Spaniards {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} through the {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board.

There Go Another Two

Two more players went in quick succession and both were from the Russian Federation.

Jonathan Karamalikis opened from mid position with {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} and called when Konstantin Puchkov three-bet all in from the big blind with {k-}{q-}. The board ran {4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to make the Australian a set. Puchkov's dreams of making a second final table in three years here were dashed.

Moments after Konstantin Uspenskiy moved all in from the small blind when the action folded around to him. Aku Joentausta was in the big blind and made the call.

Uspenskiy: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Joentausta: {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The board ran {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} to to make Joentausta the best two-pair.

What a Schemion

Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

Germany's Ole Schemion just busted Ugnius Simelionis from Lithuania collecting the latter's stack of more than 400,000.

Schemion opened with a raise to 20,000 and Simelionis three-bet to 41,000. Schemion fired a four-bet of 101,000 and Simelionis shoved for 400,000. The German took his time before making the decision and finally made the call.

The Lithuanian opened a pair of tens and Schemion flipped jacks. The board went blank and Simelionis hit the rail leaving the monster pot to the German.
