Frank Visser

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

Dimitrios Amoiridis had raised his button when Alex Livingston made it 42,000 to go in the small blind. Amoiridis called to the 4♣A♥6♥ flop, where he called Livingston's all-in of 41,000.

Alex Livingston: A♣Q♥5♠5♣ All in
Dimitrios Amoiridis: J♠J♦6♠5♦

Livingston had a nice lead, but it evaporated on the J♣ turn. Livingston had no remaining outs as the 2♦ river set his second elimination in stone.

Stefan Polster, Aki Vihikainen, and Tina Bajric got their stacks in the middle preflop. Vihikainen had 98,000 chips, which barely covered Bajric. Polster played around 120,000 as the cards were tabled.

Tina Bajric: A♣9♣6♠6♦ All in
Aki Vihikainen: Q♥Q♣10♣6♥ All in
Stefan Polster: K♦Q♠J♠J♦

No player improved on the 2♦10♠5♠5♣3♦ runout, seeing Vihikainen's queens hold for the triple-up.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Daniel Zaremba raised to 12,000 under the gun and received calls from Andrei Shpak on the button and Giorgos Tsoupras in the big blind.

The action checked to Shpak on the 9♦7♠3♣ flop, and he bet 30,000. Tsoupras quickly mucked his cards before Zaremba raised to 110,000. Shpak spent one time bank as he decided to make the call.

Zaremba then put Sphak all-in on the 4♥ turn and was quickly called by his opponent, who put in his last 150,000 or so.

Andrei Shpak: 10♥7♥6♣5♣ All in
Daniel Zaremba: J♣9♥9♣8♠

Zaremba's top set made four of a kind on the 9♠ river, sending Shpak to the rail in style.

Roman Verenko had raised from the cutoff when "Brunon Schulz" three-bet to 38,000 from the big blind. Verenko called to the 7♣8♠3♥ flop, where the rest of "Brunon Schulz"s 135,000 chips quickly flew in the middle.

"Brunon Schulz": A♥A♣10♣5♦ All in
Roman Verenko: 8♥6♥5♠3♠

Verenko had made two pair on the flop to take the lead. He rivered a straight on the Q♠4♦ runout to secure the pot and sent "Brunon Schulz" to the rail for the second time on Day 1b.

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a pot of 120,000, small blind Vasili Firsau committed his final 58,000 on a flop of 2♦8♣6♠. Imad Derwiche called in the big blind and the cards went face-up.

Vasili Firsau: A♠K♠K♣5♣ All in
Imad Derwiche: 9♣7♠8♦4♦

Derwiche made a straight on the 10♦ turn to leave Firsau's kings drawing dead. The 7♥ river did not matter anymore as the Belarusian bracelet winner stood up and took his leave.
