Ondrej Vinklarek was the big chip leader for a long time yesterday until he bluffed king-five into pocket kings. He came back today with less than the average, but now he has more than the average after a fortunate double-up.
He opened to 23,000 from under the gun and called when Sergio Castelluccio three-bet to 52,000 from the button. The flop fell and Castelluccio continued for 50,000 and snap called when Vinklarek check-raised all-in for his remaining 170,000.
Vinklarek: for an over card and gutshot draw.
Castelluccio: for an over pair .
The Czech player got instant service as the turn came to make his straight, before the river bricked. Castelluccio wasn't a happy bunny.

Ondrej Vinklarek | 550,000 | 326,000 |
Sergio Castelluccio | 390,000 | -223,000 |
Olivier Rogez just shot up into a dead heat for the chip lead with Samphane Phomveha after a big hand early that left Costa Bataille on life support.
We caught up with the action as both players checked the board on the turn with close to 400k sitting in the middle.
The river was revealed and Rogez led out for 150k, sending Bataille deep into the tank. He spent a good four minutes mulling over the decision before making the call.
Rogez turned over and it must have been good as Bataille mucked.
Following the hand Bataille was left with 60k as Rogez moved up around the 1.5 million chip mark.

---|---|---|
Olivier Rogez | 1,500,000 | 402,000 |

Jean-Pierre Lacombe seemed to have a premeditated plan in hand against Vadzim Kursevich, but the latter had the winning move up his sleeve.
Kursevich raised to 25,000 from under the gun and Lacombe defended. The board ran out and the Frenchman check-called 35,000 and 57,000 on the flop and turn before he led for 35,000 on the river.
Kursevich wasn't convinced and moved all-in for effectively another 160,000. Lacombe seemed to swear in French as he quickly mucked. Kursevich smiled and tabled the .
Meanwhile we noticed that Ondrej Vinklarek's seat was empty. His comeback was obviously short lived.
