Action folded to Oscar Teran in the small blind. He checked is cards and completed. Big blind Mikko Jaatinen checked his option, and they went to a flop. Teran bet out 55,000, and Jaatinen jacked it up to 125,000. Teran called. The turn was the , and Teran quickly moved all in. Jaatinen already motioned to call, but he had the dealer count out the stack first so he knew it would cost him 130,000. Jaatinen turned over a trickily played . Teran's was second best, but with a pair and an open-ended straight draw, he had plenty of outs. The on the river wasn't one, however, and Teran silently left the table as everyone else headed to break. Jaatinen is up to 900,000 after starting this level as the shortest stack.
The boldest move of the tournament in the biggest pot of the tournament has sent Perica Bukara to the rail.
Bukara opened to 58,000 in the cutoff and Konstantin Bilyauer called in the big blind. All OK so far. They saw a flop.
Flop:
Bilyauer checked to Bukara, who continuation-bet 80,000. Bilyauer called and they proceeded to the turn.
Turn:
Bilyauer checked again and Bukara bet once more, this time to the tune of 180,000. The action moved back on to Bilyauer and this time instead of calling, he raised to 410,000. Back to Bukara, who paused, staring hard at first the board, then at Bilyauer, then back at the board. Then he went all in for 1.4 million.
Call.
Bilyauer: for trips
Bukara: for nothing more than a gutshot straight draw
Bilyauer jumped up from the table, suddenly expelling all the breath he had presumably been holding while Bukara had been tanking up into an almighty sigh. Bukara made no sound.
River: making Bilyauer a full house
There was a pause in the action while the stacks were counted. Bilyauer had Bukara covered by just 100,000 or so, and the Serbian walked away, leaving Bilyauer to take possession of 3.2 million in chips, a clear million ahead of nearest rival Arnaud Mattern.
Johan Storakers opened to 57,000 from the button and Kevin Stani made it 115,000 out of the small blind. Storakers thought for a while before moving all-in for a total of about 450,000, Stani snap-called and the Swede looked glum.
Storakers:
Stani:
Like Radiohead there were no surprises when the board came and that leaves us with 14 players left. Toni Ojala has moved tables and now occupies Javed Abraham's old seat.
With all of the big stacks at one table and all of the short stacks at the other, it's very hard for pots to develop. We haven't seen a showdown in awhile. Dmitry Vitkind is shoving his short stack most of the times it folds to him, but so far, no one has picked up a hand to call with. Arnaud Mattern on the other table is raising many hands, picking up the blinds and folding to three-bets in equal measure.
Mikko Jaatinen pushed all-in for 336,000 from the cutoff before Igor Ivashkiv reraised all-in behind him on the button.
Jaatinen:
Ivashkiv:
The flop did not give Jaatinen much of a sniff, but the turn gave him a couple more outs, and the while giving Ivashkiv a set, made a straight for Jaatinen to double up to 700,000. Ivashkiv dropped to 485,000.
Jonathan Weekes opened preflop to 60,000 and next to him, Javed Abrahams pushed all-in for just over 400,000 or so. It was passed around to Arnaud Mattern who thought for a moment before reraising all-in. Weekes passed (as in he folded his cards, not that there was a period of record dwelling time from him).
Abrahams:
Mattern:
The board came and Mattern added another 400,000 to his stack to put him back over the 2 million mark, he's now up to almost 2.2 million.
