Bedell the "Lucky Guy"

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

With 13,800 in the middle and the flop showing {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Tom-Aksel Bedell was all in from the button for 20,100 and his opponent made the call with the superior stack and {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Bedell was in need of help, as he only held {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

The {4-Spades} on the turn indeed provided some hope and Bedell said "give him an eight." Instead, the Norwegian spiked the {3-Clubs} river and doubled through.

"Lucky, lucky guy. What should I say, I am always lucky!" he exclaimed while raking in the pot.

Daniel Rueda Merino

Sofia Lovgren opened to 1,800 and was called by Martin Jacobson and Ionut Berbec. Out of the blinds, Santiago Giraldez jammed in for just over the starting stack and that forced out all opponents.

No longer featured on said table is Casey Kastle, while Marvin Hannemann has taken over the role of biggest stack.

Delfoco Among the Chip Leaders

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Francesco Delfoco
Francesco Delfoco

On a flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Marc Gonzalez Valls checked in early position and called a bet of 7,000 by Francesco Delfoco on the button. The {5-Diamonds} turn was checked by Gonzalez Valls and Delfoco waved with his hand to see the stack of his opponent before he ended up checking behind.

The {k-Clubs} river was the final community card and Gonzalez Walls check-called another bet of 9,000, but mucked his cards in disgust when Delfoco turned over the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for top pair and top kicker on the river.

Geller Busts Menhardt

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Maya Geller
Maya Geller

Down to just a handful of big blinds, Julian Menhardt was at risk preflop with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. He had the best of it against the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of Maya Geller when the chips went in, but that changed dramatically on the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop, on which Geller hit trips.

Menhardt picked up some miracle outs on the {q-Hearts} turn, however, the {9-Clubs} river was a blank.

Lovgren and More on the Rise

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Not long ago, Sofia Lovgren was below 10 big blinds but that has since changed dramatically and the 888poker ambassador from Sweden has jumped above the average with just shy of the half the field remaining in level seven.

One table over, an even bigger stack belongs to Tal Mor, who just knocked out his table neighbor. Both had an overpair to the {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop and Mor held the best of it with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} versus {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The {10-Spades} turn and {3-Diamonds} river changed nothing whatsoever and Mor claimed a decent pot with the nutflush.

Giraldez Doubles Through Hannemann

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel Rueda Merino
Daniel Rueda Merino

With some 18,000 in the middle and the completed board showing {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, Santiago Giraldez moved all in and table neighbor Marvin Hannemann gave it some consideration in a battle of players in late position.

Eventually, Hannemann called and Giraldez flipped over {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a turned full house. Hannemann only had the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a straight and had to fork over 36,300 to forfeit a decent portion of his stack.

Level: 10

Blinds: 600/1,200

Ante: 1,200

Aces for Giraldez

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In the final hand of the previous level, Sofia Lovgren opened to 2,200 and was called by Francesco Di Profio on the button and Jordi Ribatallada Ruiz in the small blind. Santiago Giraldez three-bet to 9,500 and Di Profio was the only caller. On a flop of {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, a quick continuation bet did the trick for Giraldez and he flashed the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}.

Di Profio claimed the chips and some more back after sending Ramlal Basdeo to the rail and Stefano Schiano departed moments later from one table over.
