Saar Rising Again

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Siiri Saar
Siiri Saar

Siiri Saar dropped down to just 5,000 after another bluff had gone wrong, but has since doubled up multiple times to jump above the average stack in level seven. On the same table, Ankit Mehta is among the chip leaders and Giuseppe Carbone is also nearing six digits.

For Teunis Kooij, the start into Day 1b after late registration has been mediocre at beast, as the Dutchman lost half of his stack so far.

Ostergaard Flushes Di Giacomo

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Claudio Di Giacomo
Claudio Di Giacomo

A raise to 1,500 was called by big stack Simone Rosano and one further player. Claudio Di Giacomo called in the small blind and Jens Ostergaard moved all in from the big blind. The initial raiser folded and Rosano asked for a count. The shove was deemed to be for 32,000 and that proved to be too much.

Di Giacomo, who had just re-entered a few minutes ago, eventually made the sigh-call.

Jens Ostergaard: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Claudio Di Giacomo: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop gave Ostergaard a flush draw, which he immediately completed on the {8-Spades} turn to make the {4-Diamonds} river a formality. Di Giacomo dropped down to just 2,000 and has a mountain to climb in order to avoid another re-entry.

Gomez Borja Doubles With a Sweat

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Jose Gomez Borja
Jose Gomez Borja

Jose Gomez Borja ended up all in after a {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop and his opponent turned over {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for the nut flush draw. Gomez Borja had {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a pair and straight flush draw, and improved to a straight on the {3-Hearts} turn. The {j-Clubs} river changed nothing anymore and the Spaniard doubled.

Barkay and Podovei Rising

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Not long ago, Gabriel Povodei jammed in a three-way pot to the {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop and forced folds from Claudio Di Giacomo and Alf Martinsson. Di Giacomo was left with around 14,000 and sent those chips over to Podovei, who claimed them with a big smile on the face.

One table over, Benjamin Barkay also chipped up without showdown. The Belgian faced a bet of 7,600 by an opponent in middle position on a {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} river and check-shoved for more than 30,000. His opponent only had 12,500 behind and used his last two remaining time banks before his hand was declared dead.

Sergio Alonso even jokingly wanted to give away his time banks to allow for more time of consideration.

Marchetti Binks the River

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Luca Marchetti
Luca Marchetti

Guenter Halak defended out of the blinds and check-shoved for the last 13,600 on a {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop. Initial raiser Luca Marchetti called after brief consideration and the following cards were revealed.

Guenter Halak: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Luca Marchetti: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Halak was ahead with middle pair, but Marchetti had two overcards and a gutshot. The {3-Diamonds} turn bricked, however, the {q-Hearts} river gave Marchetti a winning straight and Halak was gone. Marchetti is not the biggest stack on the table, though, as Yaron Ben Avi has even more than that.

Gurrutxaga Among the Leaders; Reid Wins Small Pot

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

The second bullet for Jon Gurrutxaga appears to run much better than the first one and he has more than tripled his stack already.

One table over, Derek Reid chipped up slightly. In a battle of the blinds he defended against a raise and ultimately bet the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} river when the small blind checked to him. Reid's 2,000 were called and the Scotsman tabled {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} to win the pot.

Zainescu Busts Once More

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Down to her last 8,000 and on a flop of {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Carmen Zainescu moved all in and Luis Alberto De Marco made the call.

Carmen Zainescu: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Luis Alberto De Marco: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Zainescu was drawing very thing and the {6-Diamonds} turn left her drawing dead. De Marco even improved to a straight for good measure thanks to the {8-Diamonds} river to send Zainescu to the rail for the second time in this event.
