Three-Way All In and No Bustout

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Christopher Tamuthy was all in for his last 3,000 in the big blind and saw Sebastian Tusal and Tom-Aksel Bedell also clash with Tusal as the biggest stack.

Christopher Tamuthy: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Tom-Aksel Bedell: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Sebastian Tusal: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The board came {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and Tamuthy tripled up via runner runner flush, while Bedell doubled through Tusal for 23,700.

"I cannot win with my dozen pocket pairs today and have to shove this crap out of the big blind for my last 3k. That's how this table has been running," Tamuthy joked.

Christopher Tamuthy only lasted for a couple more minutes before he was eliminated by Tom-Aksel Bedell. The Norwegian and Spain resident has chipped up to more than two times the starting stack, which also applies for Evgenii Cherniak in the one seat of the very same table.

Hu Busts Cazali

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
David Hu
David Hu

A raise to 1,200 was called by Robert Cazali and David Hu then squeezed to 4,000, which both opponents called. The {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop was checked and Cazali jammed the last 5,000 on the {4-Spades} turn, which only Hu called.

Cazali shrugged and wanted to muck his cards, as Hu had turned over {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for kings full. As per all in showdown rule, he had to reveal his {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and was already on his way out while the meaningless {a-Spades} rolled off on the river.

Moorman Joins; van Boxtel Under Pressure

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Chris Moorman won't be winning the €2,200 High Roller as the 888poker ambassador just walked into the area of the Main Event and entered the competition on Day 1a.

Raul van Boxtel's decent early start was also cut down and the Dutchman just check-raised a {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop to 2,300 with very few chips behind. His opponent folded and asked if he had a nine. Van Boxtel grabbed his cards again and tabled the {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Camarda Eliminated by Di Profio

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

On a flop of {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Salvatore Camarda ended up all in and at risk and fellow countryman Francesco Di Profio made the call.

Ali Polat said "I folded ace four of clubs" and Camarda had already turned over his {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

Di Profio was ahead with {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and the {a-Spades} turn and {10-Diamonds} river brought no help for Camarda.

"What a machine," another player at the table said in Spanish, as Di Profio further added to his growing tower of chips.

Podovei Cut Down; Oghabian No More

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Milad Oghabian
Milad Oghabian

The cards were all but rushed away and Gabriel Podovei sigh-called a bet of 10,000 on the river when an ace appeared. Podovei showed queens and his opponent had {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, having flopped a nine and rivered the superior full house.

For Milad Oghabian it has come even worse as the Dutchman vanished in the corner section of the tournament area.

Jacobson In Contention; Rodil Forces a Big Fold

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Ali Polat is no longer to be found in the tournament area and Martin Jacobson has joined his former table with a double stack.

Jose Carlos Sineiro Rodil has about as many chips as Jacobson and just forced an opponent to fold {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} face up when jamming the {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} turn. Rodil returned the favor and showed his {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush.

One for Camarda

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Salvatore Camarda took the seat that previously belonged to Milad Oghabian and defended his big blind against an under-the-gun raise and a cold-call from big stack Tal Mor. On the {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, Camarda checked and called a bet of 2,000 and a call by Mor.

The {6-Hearts} turn was checked and Camarda bet the {6-Spades} river for 3,200. Once the initial raiser folded, Mor reluctantly called and mucked when Camarda tabled {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for sixes and fives.
