Bednar Can't Get Rid of Sandev

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Georgi Sandev
Georgi Sandev

Georgi Sandev raised to 40,000 under the gun and Zhong Chen flicked in his last 5,000 from the cutoff. Jan Bednar and Maxim Lykov came along from the blinds to create a bigger side pot.

The flop fell {j-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Sandev continued with a bet of 40,000. Bednar check-raised to 125,000 which got Lykov out of the hand, but Sandev called.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and Bednar sized up a bet of 190,000. Sandev still called and the {10-Hearts} completed the board. Bednar slid out a stack of 500,000, putting Sandev to the test for his remaining 362,000. After much deliberation and an incoming headache, Sandev dropped in a call.

Bednar turned over {6-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a missed straight draw while Sandev held {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to claim the massive side pot. Chen, meanwhile, was ecstatic to table his {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for top pair to win the main pot.

Sebbah Doubles Veldhuis, Busts Immediately After

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Lex Veldhuis
Lex Veldhuis

Avner Sebbah had open-jammed from under the gun for 276,000. Lex Veldhuis was on the button and rejammed for only a little less; 253,000. The rest of the table folded and the pair were asked to show down their cards.

Lex Veldhuis: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Avner Sebbah: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Sebbah turned a gutshot straight draw on {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} but failed to hit it on the river {5-Diamonds}.

Veldhuis doubled up and Sebbah was left with only one big blind.

That big blind had to be put in mandatorily next hand as Sebbah was in the big blind. Sebbah kindly asked who wanted his bounty, but only one player wanted it badly enough to raise; Paul Tedeschi opened the action to 60,000 and the rest of the table folded.

Avner Sebbah: {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Paul Tedeschi: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

Sebbah had outs until the river on {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, but ultimately gave away his bounty token and said his goodbyes.

Updated Bounty Board

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The bounties have been getting plucked left, right, and center, with players trying all of the superstitious tricks in an attempt to draw the "big one". However, it's been full of disappointment with the majority of €1,000 bounties being pulled and the big prizes are still in play.

Galindo Chalks Up Another One

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Humberto Galindo
Humberto Galindo

Tobias Schwecht limped in from under the gun which allowed Humberto Lopes Galindo and Fabian Niederreiter to come along from the blinds. The flop came {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} which stirred on plenty of action.

Galindo checked to Niederreiter who bet 20,000. Schwecht raised to 63,000 and Galindo min-clicked to 106,000. Niederreiter got out of the way and Schwecht jammed all in for around 200,000. Galindo snapped him off and the cards were on their backs.

Tobias Schwecht: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Humberto Lopes Galindo: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Schwecht was in tough with Galindo holding the next best hand compared to his pair of fives. The {10-Hearts} and {q-Hearts} runout changed nothing and Galindo earned another bounty chip.

Speranza Unhappy as He Takes His Leave

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Gianluca Speranza
Gianluca Speranza

The action was caught on the turn with the board reading {j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts} and a big pot brewing between three players. Jan Bednar checked from under the gun before Gianluca Speranza bet 140,000 from the hijack. Gerard Rubiralta Cortes folded his button and the action was back on Bednar.

Bednar announced ''all-in'' and it took little time for Speranza to call to put himself at risk.

Gianluca Speranza: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Jan Bednar: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}

Speranza had to fade many outs to win the pot and failed to do so on the {9-Clubs} river.

Speranza was clearly unhappy with the result, shoveling his chips to his opponent and trading some heated words. He called the floor to receive his payout and quickly fled the tournament room.

Meanwhile, Bednar is sitting on a healthy stack of over one and a half million.
