Haraldstad Will Have to Try Again on Day 2

Frank Visser

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

Joachim Haraldstad tossed in his final 56,000 and was looked up by Nikolaos Lampropoulos.

Joachim Haraldstad: A♣K♦9♥6♠ All in
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: A♥K♠J♣6♦

The players were chopping on the 10♠5♠10♦ flop and K♣ turn, but the Q♣ river brought Lamproulos a straight to take down the pot and eliminate Haraldstad during the final few hands of Day 1b.

Haraldstad can try again tomorrow as the late registration will be open until the second level of Day 2.

"Jay": A♥A♦J♠7♥

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

"Deleted" threw in their final 27,000 from the cutoff and was called by Tom Vogelsang on the button. Oswin Ziegelbecker defended his big blind and led out for 25,000 on the 4♠7♣5♦ flop.

Vogelsang tossed in a calling chip before he was checked to on the 8♥ turn. He put in a bet of 75,000, which Ziegelbecker called.

The A♣ river completed the board, causing Ziegelbecker to check once more. Vogelsang then put his opponent all-in for roughly 250,000.

Ziegelbecker did not spend much time before folding. Vogelsang showed Q♣10♠8♠6♣ for a straight and won both the main and side pot when "Deleted" tossed their cards into the muck.

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

"Phil Ejri": A♠Q♥3♠2♥

Both players made a flush on the 7♠10♦2♠A♦6♠ board, but "Phil Ejri"s ace-high flush bested Ensan's sending the latter home.
