Oghabian Eliminates Madalin, Takes Chip Lead

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Milad Oghabian has a big stack standing in front of him and he's adding on to that big stack. He eliminated Cristian Diaconu Madalin moments ago to gain more chips.

Oghabian raised to 5,000 from the under the gun position and when it folded to Madalin on the cutoff he moved all in for his last 26,200. When it was Oghabian's turn again he asked Madalin if he wanted a call and he didn't get an answer. Oghabian ended up making the call and they opened up their hands.

Milad Oghabian: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Cristian Diaconu Madalin: {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The dealer spread out the {K-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop and Oghabian gained a lot more outs. The {8-Spades} turn was one of those outs and Madalin stood up and started packing his things because the {Q-Hearts} river was a courtesy.

Oghabian is closing in on the 300,000 chip mark and is well on his way to end the day strong.

Jack Sinclair
Jack Sinclair

Jack Sinclair opened from early position to 4,000. The action folded around to Vlad Ruxandari in the big blind and he three-bet jammed to 32,900.

Sinclair went into the tank for two minutes and looked at his cards three times before he decided to call.

Vlad Ruxandari: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Jack Sinclair: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Ruxandari was a 72 percent favorite to win the hand. He doubled up after the board ran out {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Meanwhile, Sinclair's stack took a big hit.

Di Cesare Wins Three-Way Pot

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Catalin Diac raised from the hijack to 3,500 and both Alessio Di Cesare called from the cutoff and Adrian Veghinas called from the button.

The flop was {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Diac continued with another bet of 3,500. Di Cesare called and Veghinas raised to 11,000. Diac folded but Di Cesare called.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and both players checked their option to see the {J-Spades} river card come down. Di Cesare bet out 18,700 and that was enough to take down the pot.

Steady As he Goes

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Espen Jorstad just won another pot and is grinding slow and steady. Adrian Barbu raised preflop from early position as he made it 3,600. Ionut Alexandru Decher called from one seat over and it folded to Jorstad in the small blind. He called and so did Martin Wendt from the big blind.

the flop was {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} and all four players checked to see the {A-Clubs} turn card. Jorstad chose to lead out with a bet of 9,500 on that turn and the three other players in the hand folded.

Day 1c - Blinds 200/400, ante 50

Unibet Poker Ambassador Ian Simpson didn't manage to survive Day 1b of the Main Event so he's giving it another try in the turbo flight. Simpson got his money in the middle holding pocket treys against Uri Gilboa's ace-jack.

The dealer put down an {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades} board and Simpson managed to knock his opponent out of the tournament while chipping up nicely.

Oghabian Doubles Up Through Tusnea

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Milad Oghabian had 9,000 laying in front of him and Mihai Tusnea had 30,000 in front of him. There were no community cards on the board yet and the Oghabian had to make a decision. The Dutchman decided to raise all in for a total of 78,000 and Tusnea snap-called.

Milad Oghabian: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Mihai Tusnea: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Oghabian hit his ace to score a big double up. Tusnea walked away from the table to take a breath before returning to his stack of still over 50 big blinds.
