Fest's Misery is Complete

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

On a three-way flop of {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Hans Fest faced a bet of 8,000 by Dan Murariu and moved all in for 31,700 to pick up a quick call by Murariu, while the third player in the hand folded.

Hans Fest: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Dan Murariu: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {9-Clubs} turn and {5-Diamonds} river were of no help and Fest was sent to the rail.

Costly Mistake for Fest

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

In a battle button versus small blind, Hans Fest bet and called the check-raise all in of Alin Cucu for 37,300 on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Once the cards were tabled, there were quite a few surprised faces.

Alin Cucu: {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Hans Fest: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The {4-Hearts} turn and {J-Diamonds} river changed nothing whatsoever and Cucu said "so you didn't believe me huh?" while a stunned Fest sat there without a word, having lost more than half of his stack as a result.

Grimaldi Busts In Two Hands

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
No More Chips for Grimaldi
No More Chips for Grimaldi

In a battle of the blinds Pasquale Grimaldi had just doubled to 50,000 after his {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flushed an opponent with {A-}{8-}. Right after he got his stack in from the small blind with the {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Marian Strachinescu called with the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and slightly superior stack.

The board came {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Strachinescu paired his ace to bust Grimaldi. Silviu Baltateanu, who had been back up to 70,000 after he was left with 3,500 earlier, has also been eliminated.

The Fun for Aarts Stops Right Here

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

Two open seats on the table of Jeroen Aarts were quickly filled by massive stacks and the Dutchman, who had dropped down all the way to just 44,000, is suddenly surrounded by piles of chips in every direction. One advantage seems quite obvious, it will be rather easy for Aarts to get a chance at a double and regain the previous healthy stack.

Rauta Folds and Shows

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

Dorin Rauta raised to 5,500 and Daniel Radulescu three-bet to 16,000 from two seats over, which Rauta called. On a flop of {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Rauta checked and Radulescu's bet of 13,000 did the trick to force a quick fold, Rauta flashed his {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

Tudor Purice
Tudor Purice

On the three-way flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, Danut Chisu in the big blind and Tudor Purice in early position checked and Denis Ioan Poteras bet 9,000, which only Purice called. The {Q-Hearts}n turn was checked and Purice also checked the {9-Diamonds} river. Poteras bet 19,000 and Purice eventually called.

Poteras turned over {J-Spades}{8-Spades} for a pair of jacks and Purice won the pot with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. The same table saw Alexandru Cinca depart prior, and further casualties are listed below.
