Proscia Skyrockets to the Lead

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Not long ago, Jacek Korytko was among the chip leaders with two times the starting stack, however, the online qualifier from Poland has since shown up in the list of casualties. A quick look at his table revealed a massive stack for Gennaro Proscia. Dan Murariu confirmed that Proscia had claimed the entire stack of Korytko in two hands, both of which were three-bet pots and saw Proscia flop a set of sixes.

First he doubled against ace-king, then he faded a diamond draw by Korytko, who squeezed big and jammed a four-way flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-} with the {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} only to get shown pocket sixes once more.

Do You Speak Spanish?

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Ramon Roig Mateu
Ramon Roig Mateu

The tournament takes place in Bucharest, however, three Spanish players ended up on the same table. It was Ana Marquez that raised to 900 and fellow countrymen Ramon Roig Mateu and Pedro Gabriel Andrada Martin came along to the {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop. Even the dealer announced all the action and bet sizes in Spanish and one check was followed by a continuation bet of 2,800 by Marquez. Roig Mateu raised to 6,000 and Andrada Martin check-shoved for more than 28,000.

Marquez folded and Roig Mateu used one time bank chip and plenty of table talk before calling it off for his last 18,400.

Ramon Roig Mateu: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Pedro Gabriel Andrada Martin: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The {9-Diamonds} turn and {j-Diamonds} river were blanks and Roig Mateu doubled.

"I had a straight and flush draw," Marquez admitted in English in table chat after.

Marquez Runs Into Queens Again

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Ana Marquez
Ana Marquez

Ana Marquez was eliminated early on Day 1a after running with ace-queen into pocket queens and the Day 1b can be summed up with two words: Copy paste.

After a limp under the gun and a call in middle position by Pedro Gabriel Andrada Martin. Cornel Stan raised on the button and Marquez jammed the small blind, which only Stan called with a slightly superior stack.

Ana Marquez: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Cornel Stan: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The board came {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Marquez missed out on the overcard and gutshot to bow out. She will likely enter for her third bullet in the event on day 1c.

Small Pot for Shahar; Potcoava Busts Manzaneda Lozano

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

On the {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} turn, Ran Shahar check-raised a bet of 1,500 by table neighbor Marius Asanache to 3,500 and was called. Shahar then bet the {6-Hearts} river for 900 and Asanache called to get shown {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} by Shahar.

"I thought you had the king," Shahar sighed.

Two tables over, Juan Manuel Manzaneda Lozano ended up all in and at risk in a flip for 18,000 and was called by Mihnea Potcoava.

Juan Manuel Manzaneda Lozano: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Mihnea Potcoava: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The board came {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and that was it for the Spaniard.

Festa Eliminated

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Down to very few chips, Mattia Festa ended up all in and at risk with the {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and was called by Riad Chahaf with the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The {q-Clubs} appeared right away on the flop and Festa was drawing dead on a blank turn.
