The player under the gun limped in for 500, and under the gun plus one we saw Sergey Rybachenko raise it up to 1,700. His neighbor made the call for 1,700, but Atanas Gueorguiev right next to him had bigger plans. Gueorguiev shoved all in for 8,400 total and all players folded to Rybachenko. Rybachenko raised almost all in, leaving himself just 225 behind. The caller folded, and Rybachenko and Guerguiev opened their cards.
Sergey Rybachenko:
Atanas Gueorguiev:
The board stayed free of aces and other problems for Gueorguiev: . Sergey Rybachenko still has about 23,000 left,
Atanas Gueorguiev plays 20,350.
Onur Unsal, the number three on the Turkish all time money list with $488,627 in live tournament earnings, just doubled through Jorn Walthaus.
Walthaus opened the cutoff to 1,000, and Unsal made it 1,850 with a total stack of 15,600. After both blinds folded, Walthaus pushed a stack of 5,000 chips forward to put Unsal all in. Unsal snap called and slammed on the table. Walthaus showed up with .
"Of course I call!" laughed Unsal after someone at the table apparently frowned seeing the showdown, "Nines' the best hand I've had all day!"
The nines were good, and they stayed good: . Walthaus still plays a comfortable stack of around 70,000, Unsal is finally back to above starting stack.
The prize pool is $360,111 momentarily, but that can still get bigger. In fact, even if you're not on the island yet at the moment, you could still play this event. You're able to register till the fourth level tomorrow is done, so till around 5.30 p.m. local time as levels will be an hour long tomorrow.
There have been made 102 entries so far today, making the total 274 so far. There are currently 68 players still in contention, making for an average stack of exactly 45,000.
Alexander Orlov was seated under the gun, and got his remaining 15,650 all in before the flop against his neighbor in the big blind.
Orlov, who lost unfortunate pots to Walthaus twice in a row not too long ago, needed some luck this time. His wasn't as live as he'd hoped for, the big blind had the better hand with .
The good thing about having king jack all in before the flop against jacks, is that if you hit a king, your opponent only has one out left in most cases. And just like that the flop came , and the big blind threw his hands in the air out of despair. The failed to improve the big blinds hand, and the on the river was a blank as well.
Orlov got the luck he needed, and now plays a solid 31,900 again.
We missed the pre flop action, but we heard Meder Suyundukov tell the table that something went wrong before the community cards were out. Suyundukov thought action had folded to him on the button, and he announced to make it 1,300. Just then neighbor Aleksandr Pak in the cutoff informed him that he hadn't acted yet. Pak made it 1,200, and to save face Suyundukov called. The small blind came along for the ride and the three of them saw a flop.
On the small blind checked to Pak who bet 2,500. Suyundukov made the call, and so did the small blind. The turn came the and the small blind and Pak checked. Suyundukov on the button bet out 3,100 and just the small blind made the call, Pak folded.
The hit the river and both players quickly checked. The small blind showed with some hope on his face, but that would soon vanish as Suyundukov tabled for two pair.
The player from the Kyrgyz Republic, who won one of the small EPT Vienna side events past season, took down the pot. Wanting to steal with 10-6 and ending up calling, wasn't too bad for him this time.
Alexander Orlov opened under the gun and received a total of four callers, including Jorn Walthaus on the button and the player in the big blind.
with two hearts on the flop and everyone checked to Walthaus on the button. Walthaus bet out 2,100 and the big blind made it 6,000. Orlov cold called, and Walthaus raised to 15,000. The big blind made the call al in for 14,700, and Orlov called as well.
Orlov check called another 15,000 on the turn. The river came an off suit and both Walthaus and Orlov checked.
The big blind was to open up his cards first, and did just that. He showed for a flopped set and that was good enough for the main pot. Orlow showed for a missed flush draw, and turned queen. Walthaus had for flopped top two and took down the side pot, breaking even for the hand.
We arrived on a board and the small blind bet out 650. Sergey Bagirov in the big blind made the call, and so did the player under the gun and someone in middle position. Atanas Gueorguiev in the hijack squeezed to 4,650, and everyone folded.
We arrived on a flop and Troyanovskiy just called a big raise to 4,700 from Maurizio Musso. Troyanovskiy had just 7,150 behind and pushed those chips all in without any doubt once the hit the turn.
Maurizio Musso, a well known Italian player with a lot of cashes on his curriculum vitae, thought about it for some time. "It's just seven thousand" said Troyanovskiy with a smile. Eventually he folded. Troyanovskiy smiled again, and threw on the table.
