Oliveira Eliminates an Opponent

PokerStars qualifier Slobodan Bjelobrk moved all in from the button on the short stack and Carlos Oliveira called from the big blind.

Bjelobrk; {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Oliveira: {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Oliveira won the hand, busted Bjelobrk in the process.

Oliveira has a few notable finishes on his resume. He won the $500 No-Limit Hold'em event at the Bellagio Cup V for nearly $50,000 and then cashed in the WSOP Main Event. Both of those happened in 2009. Right now, you can add this cash to that list and he'll be looking to make a nice, big splash here in Berlin.

We arrived just in time to see Dirk Jaspert doubling through Maksim Semisoshenko. We're not sure when the chips went in, but we know what the cards looked like at the end.

Jaspert: {Q-Spades} {10-Spades}
Semisoshenko: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

Board: {J-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

Jaspert doubled to 290,000; Semisoshenko meanwhile was left with just 80,000.

Oliveira Makes Quads

Just minutes after busted a player and gaining some chips, Carlos Oliveira was all in again, this time against Sam Chartier. He held two aces against Chartier's pocket queens in all-in preflop action.

Oliveira went on to flop quad aces and doubled up to 285,000 chips. Chartier dropped back to 220,000, which is just about average.

On the Brinkmann of Disaster

A bit of terrible misfortune for Torsten Brinkmann has left him with just 40,000. We're not sure when the chips went in, but this is what the cards looked like:

Brinkmann: {9-?} {9-?}
Carsten Joh: {6-?} {8-?}

Board: {7-?} {J-?} {9-?} {10-?} {2-?}

We'll leave what Brinkmann's face looked like to your imagination.

Karbowsky Carbonized

It's cold deck central here at the Hyatt today. Hans-Jürgen Karbowsky is the latest victim of the poker gods' cruelty.

Karbowsky: {A-?} {J-?}
Sam Chartier: {J-?} {J-?}

Board: {6-?} {A-?} {J-?} {Q-?} {10-?}

Karbowsky duly headed for the payout desk.

Kabbaj Eternally Wilting, But Not Dead Yet

John Kabbaj, who intimated earlier that he'd been so short-stacked for the latter part of yesterday that he'd taken to going all in every hand in the hopes of making an early flight home today, just keeps on failing to bust out.

We arrived just in time to see him double up his micro-stack again, this time holding {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} on a {5-?} {4-?} {8-?} {K-?} {8-?} board. His opponent had been holding {A-?} {10-?}.

"Well, he made 16,000, and he made it 30,000," he explained, pointing around the table, "So I had equity. Plus seven-four suited, that's the best hand I've seen today."

He remains precariously perched on 90,000 or so.
