Bajric Bounces Back to Seven Figures

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a pot of roughly 100,000, Vasil Medarov put in his last 123,000 from the small blind on a flop of 3♠6♠J♦ and Tina Bajric called under the gun.

Vasil Medarov: K♣Q♥3♥3♣ All in
Tina Bajric: J♥8♥6♥2♣

Both players made a full house on the 6♦ turn, but Bajric had the higher one. The 7♣ river changed nothing as she sent Medarov home during her resurgence to a top stack.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: 7♦6♥5♥2♦ All in

Level 9 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Gergo Nagy had gone all in for 53,000 from the big blind and was called by Nikola Minkov in the cutoff and Maksim Shuts on the button.

Minkov then checked to Shuts on the 5♦8♣3♠ flop before Shuts put him all-in for 133,000. Minkov mulled it over for a bit and then committed a call.

Gergo Nagy: K♣8♥7♠6♣ All in
Nikola Minkov: A♥Q♠Q♣6♠
Maksim Shuts: A♦Q♦J♠10♦

The 9♥ turn gave Nagy a straight, but the 10♠ river made Shuts a better straight to take down the pot and knock out two players.

Level 9 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Tina Bajric raised to 25,000 in the hijack and "Appie" called in the cutoff. Ariel Daci then three-bet to 88,000 in the small blind, seeing both players call.

Daci bet 275,000 on the 9♥5♦2♠ flop. Bajric called before "Appie" threw in his final 47,000 to be all-in. Daci then committed his final 62,000 on the 7♥ turn and was quickly called by Bajric.

"Appie": A♦J♦9♠8♠ All in
Ariel Daci: A♠K♦Q♥5♠
Tina Bajric: A♣Q♦9♦2♦

The 6♦ river gave "Appie" a straight for the win. Bajric took the side pot with a pair of nines while Daci left the tournament area with his pair of fives.

Level 10 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

[Removed:490] raised to 25,000 in middle position. Lautaro Guerra called on the button before Harun Ertural three-bet to 105,000 in the big blind. Both Kraft and Guerra called and a flop of K♠7♥4♥ was spread.

Ertural continued with a pot-sized bet of 330,000. Kraft decided to fold but Guerra put Ertural all-in fro 435,000 in total. Ertural quickly called off what little he had left and the players showed down.

Harun Ertural: K♥Q♥10♠9♣ All in
Lautaro Guerra: K♦K♣3♦2♣

Guerra's top set was up against the flush draw of Ertural. The 2♦8♦ runout contained no hearts, resulting in Ertural's exit from the tournament.

Guerra, meanwhile, chipped up to 150 big blinds and joined the exclusive seven-figure club.

Level 10 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Mihail Andonov raised to 30,000. Vasil Medarov then three-bet to 100,000, leaving only 50,000 or so behind. Borislav Bogdanov four-bet the pot, forcing Andonov out of the way before Medarov tossed in his remaining chips.

Vasil Medarov: A♦A♣J♥7♣ All in
Borislav Bogdanov: A♥K♠K♦4♥

Bogdanov immediately flopped a full house on K♣10♠10♣, leaving Medarov drawing to one out. The last ace in the deck did not appear on the 3♠2♣ runout as Medarov became the latest late-night casualty.

Level 10 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

"Appie" had shoved all in preflop for 77,300. Meanwhile, a side pot of 262,000 had been created between Pavel Izotov and Tina Bajric.

The pair checked through the Q♥10♠3♣ flop before Izotov bet 150,000 on the K♥ turn. Bajric paid to see the 2♠ river, where she folded to the all-in bet of Izotov.

Izotov tabled K♦K♣5♠5♣for top set, besting the A♣Q♠Q♣6♠ of "Appie" and eliminating him just before the final level of Day 1a.
