Bad River for Janczarski

Maxime Taldir

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Michal Janczarski in the hijack shoved for 54,000, then Marko Luksa to his left three-bet all-in for almost 200,000. All the other players folded, so both players revealed their cards.

Michal Janczarski: A♥Q♥
Marko Luksa: J♥J♠

Janczarski was on his way to double up after a flop of 10♣Q♣K♣ and the turn K♥. But the J♣ landed on the river to give a full house to Luksa and send Janczarski to the rail.

Moments later, Shmuel Goldenberg was eliminated from the other table.

Shai Arbel: 8♠8♣
Michail Dalakis: J♦J♥

The dealer fanned a board of Q♦5♣5♥9♣9♥ and Dalakis doubled up.

Down to 35,000, Arbel in the big blind called when Jakov Vinter shoved from the small blind.

Shai Arbel: 5♠3♠
Jakov Vinter: K♥7♥

The board of 9♠10♦8♣K♦2♣ didn't change anything, so Arbel left the tournament area. He was followed by Liraz Weiman, eliminated a few hands later.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Yitshak Vasal opened to 10,000 from the hijack, and was only called by Shmuel Goldenberg in the big blind.

Vasal continued for 15,000 on a flop of 9♥7♦10♦, but Goldenberg check-raised to 35,000. Vasal quickly called and saw the 8♥ land on the turn.

Goldenberg wanted to go all-in, but he pushed forward a first pile before the second one without announcing anything, so his action was considered as a raise to 23,000. But this mistake didn't change anything, as Vasal folded.

Volkan Yucel defended from the big blind after Lukasz Fraczek opened to 8,000 from the button.

But on a flop of K♣J♥10♦, Yucel led out for 8,000. Fraczek didn't back down and called.

On the turn 8♥, Yucel continued for 12,000, but Fraczek raised to 37,000. It didn't take long for Yucel to call.

The river 7♣ brought no more action, as both players checked. Yucel revealed K♦8♦ for two pair hit on the turn, and made Fraczek fold.

Moments later, Paul Newey was eliminated from the other table.
