Kenney's Second Bullet Starts Rough

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Bryn Kenney sat back down for bullet number two not long ago but things escalated quickly once again, albeit not with an all in showdown. After having lost some chips already, he got into a pot with Nick Petrangelo in a battle under the gun versus button. The turn showed {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Kenney checked, Petrangelo bet 6,000 and Kenney called.

After the {10-Spades} river, Kenney made it 17,000 to go and Petrangelo called to see Kenney muck his cards instantly and forfeit the pot.

Reixach Pressures Schemion

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On a {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, Sergi Reixach check-called 5,200 from Ole Schemion. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Reixach check-called the German's second barrel of 9,000.

The river double-paired the board with the {7-Hearts}. Reixach slid a tower of T-5,000 chips forward, more than enough to put Schemion at risk for his remaining stack fo 32,500. Schemion gave it up after a short while.

Greenwood Doubles Through Reixach

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Sergi Reixach raised to 3,500 from under the gun and was called by Sam Greenwood on the button, Juha Helppi in the small blind and Oleksii Khoroshenin in the big blind. There was no betting action at all on the board of {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} and Helppi was first to show, turning over his {8-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a pair of eights. All opponents mucked and the Finn claimed the pot.

The next hand, Ole Schemion raised to 3,400 and Greenwood shoved from one seat over. Reixach in the big blind asked for a count and, once it was deemed to be for 35,800, the Spaniard went all in over the top. Schemion sighed and folded.

Sam Greenwood: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Sergi Reixach: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades} and neither over card hit to let Greenwood double.

Stefan Schillhabel
Stefan Schillhabel

Stefan Schillhabel has become the second player to bust out of the €25,500 Single Day High Roller. It was Steve O'Dwyer who opened the action to 3,500. Behind him, Schillhabel three-bet to 11,000, O'Dwyer four-bet to 28,500, Schillhabel five-bet shoved around 100,000 and O'Dwyer snap-called.

Stefan Schillhabel: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

Schillhabel was the favorite going in but saw O'Dwyer get the best of it on a {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} rundown.

Binar Falls to Khoroshenin

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Pavel Binar raised to 3,800 from under the gun and Sam Greenwood called in late position. Oleksii Khoroshenin three-bet to 13,000 from the small blind, Binar four-bet shoved just shy of 40,000, Greenwood folded, and Khoroshenin called.

Pavel Binar: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Oleksii Khoroshenin: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Binar was behind from start to finish on {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, making him the third player to hit the rail today.

Assorted Counts

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 3,800 and Xiaoyang Luo was the only caller out of the big blind. On a flop of {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Luo checked and Vogelsang continued for 3,200. Luo wasted little time before check-raising to 9,700 and that forced a fold from Vogelsang.

The German was involved into another pot with Steve O'Dwyer soon after and faced a bet of 30,000 on the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Even after using one time bank extension, Vogelsang could not find a call and sent his cards into the muck.

More for Schemion

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Sam Greenwood was the initial raiser from under the gun and Ole Schemion called out of the big blind. The German checked the {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and called a bet of 2,500 before the {8-Hearts} turn was checked through. Schemion overbet the {4-Hearts} river for 20,000 and Greenwood reluctantly called to get shown {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for trips fours as winning hand by Schemion.
