Muehloecker and Cynn Eliminated

Level 4 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Thomas Muehloecker

On the {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{J-Hearts} turn, Thomas Muehloecker check-shoved for what appeared to be 80,000 and Pascal Pflock, who had et 25,000, snap-called to put the Austrian at risk. Muehloecker had flopped best with the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}, but Pflock had improved to a better set with the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

The {10-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and Muehloecker busted for a second time. Soon after, Tony Miles sent John Cynn packing and took a tiny bit of revenge for the lost heads-up duel in Las Vegas.

Ringe Takes From Miles

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Tony Miles squeezed to 11,200 preflop and was called only by Gerald Ringe as initial raiser. Miles bet the {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop for 11,000 and did so again for 21,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn. Ringe called both bets and the {5-Clubs} on the river was checked through.

Miles showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Ringe had that beat with the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Del Piero Vanishes in Two Hands

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Enzo Del Piero
Enzo Del Piero

Enzo Del Piero invested 10,000 preflop against Jack Sinclair and both then checked the {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop. On the [¢8h] turn, Del Piero bet 10,000 and folded to a shove by Sinclair.

One hand later, Del Piero three-bet all in for the last 8,000 and initial raiser Cheng Rui Wong called to create the following showdown:

Enzo Del Piero: {8-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Cheng Rui Wong: {7-Spades}{5-Spades}

The board came {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Wong paired up on the flop, then improved to a flush on the river for good measure.

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Chris Da-Silva has been eliminated while Ludovic Geilich, Tom Hall and Benny Glaser recently entered.

Matas Cimbolas took on Orpen Kisacikoglu and the latter check-called a bet of 17,500 out of the big blind on the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} turn. On the {8-Diamonds} river, Kisacikoglu checked and Cimbolas used one time-bank of 30 seconds before betting 24,000. Kisacikoglu himself used two time banks and then sent his cards into the muck.

"Good fold. I like when people fold against me," Cimbolas said with a smirk.
