Bichon Doubles Through Holz

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Thomas Bichon
Thomas Bichon

According to our colleagues, who were told by Artur Koren, the hand started with a raise from Bichon and a three bet by Holz on his direct left. Bichon called and the flop came {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Bichon check-raised Holz's 10,000 bet to 20,000 and Holz made the call.

The {4-Clubs} hit the turn and Bichon tanked for some time before checking. Holz took his time and then announced all in. Bichon instantly called.

Holz showed {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the flush. The young German had just one out though as Bichon tabled {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. The river wasn't the {6-Clubs} but the {10-Diamonds} and Bichon doubled to 145,000. Holz still has about 235,000 left.

Bartalos Busts Nystedt

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In a pre flop confrontation it was Josef Bartalos holding {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Knut Nystedt with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} getting their chips in the middle. Manig Loeser was at one point also involved, but folded before community cards were dealt to the action behind him.

Bartalos walked away from the table as soon as the cards went on their backs, apparently not ready to see the outcome of the coin flip.

When Bartalos returned to the table, Nystedt had already gotten up. The {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} board hadn't given Nystadt a pair or any other strong enough combination, and it was time to hit the rail for the Norwegian.

Erwann Pecheux
Erwann Pecheux

Erwann Pecheux, who was in an argument with Roger Harabedian late last night by the way, has just been eliminated from the tournament.

He got his chips in the middle in a button versus small blind situation. His opponent was Alexios Zervos.

Alexios Zervos: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Erwann Pecheux: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} brought no help to Pecheux who shook hands and hit the rail.

Karlic Knocks Out Boros

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Gerald Karlic and Zoltan Boros (one of three Zoltan's who started today) got their chips in before the flop. Karlic had opened the hand before the flop from middle position, and Boros got his chips in the middle from the small blind.

Karlic had {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} while Boros had a fighting chance with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. The window card was the {8-Spades} but the {K-Clubs} and {10-Hearts} that accompanied Karlic's money card gave Boros some hope.

The {4-Clubs} on the turn and {5-Spades} on the river were blanks though, and Boros made his exit. Just two Zoltan's remain now, it's up to Gal and Szabo to defend the Zoltan name.

Merde! Mert Eliminated

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Michel Abecassis opened before the flop and Ihsan Mert shoved his entire stack forward: 22,500 on the line. Action folded back to Abecassis and the Frenchman called.

With {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} Abecassis was in a convenient position to collect another scalp, Mert had a dominated {A-Spades}{4-Spades}.

"Never easy" as they say, as Mert turned a flush draw on {J-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The {8-Hearts} on the river was a blank though, and Mert hit the rail.
