Heinz Finds Winning Variety

Heinz Kamutzki's smiley demeanor is showing no signs of wavering as he approached the million-chip mark after busting Sebastian Winkler.

Winkler opened from the cut-off and then moved all-in after he was three-bet by Kamutzki from the small blind. Call.

Kamutzki: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Winkler: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The flop fell {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Winkler knew it was all over by the turn and was making his exit from the table.

Van Nunes Reduced To Dust

Paul Vas Nunes is down to just 52,000 after a clash with a former fellow short stack in the shape of Daniel-Gai Pidun.

Vas Nunes was all in with {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Pidun woke up with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The flop was a hand ending {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} as it gifted Pidun a full house. Ironically the turn was the {3-Hearts} improving Vas Nunes to a flush and the final card on display was the {5-Spades}, completing the hand and pushing Pidun up to 320,000 chips.

Kamutzki's Nines Hold

This tournament has been quite the rollercoaster ride for Heinz Kamutzki with many peaks and troughs in his chip count. Now he is experiencing a peak after seeing his pocket nines hold against Andrey Zaichenko's {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

Kamutzki opened from the cutoff and was then facing a three-bet to 61,000 from Zaichenko in the big blind. Kamutzki then took back his original bet and moved forwards a tower of 21 blue chips worth 105,000. His Russian opponent sat motionless for 20 seconds then sprung into life to check his cards before announcing he was all in.

"I call," said Kamutzki, a rather resigned tone to his voice.

The {4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop was safe for Kamutzki, as was the {Q-Clubs} turn and {7-Diamonds} river and the German is now up to 900,000 and certainly back in contention here in Berlin.

Grinenko Doubles Through Cibak

Thomas Cibak
Thomas Cibak

Dmitry Grinenko has doubled up through Thomas Cibak and now has around half the average stack. He was all in with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} against the {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} of Cibak.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} missing Cibak and keeping Grinenko in the lead. The {A-Spades} on the turn gave Cibak even more outs but they failed to arrive as the river was the {A-Diamonds}.

From Russia wirth No Love

Pavel Gonchakov has been sat next to Andrey Zaichenko for a while and he was just ousted from the tournament by his fellow Russian.

Zaichenko opened from mid position and made a quick call when Gonchakov three-bet all-in from the hijack.

Gonchakov: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Zaichenko: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The board came {3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

It was all over the by turn as Zaichenko's flush was unbeatable. Zaichenko will get €15,000 for his 36th place finish.
