Rodriguez Climbs Towards The Top of the Counts

Luis Rodriguez is flying high after stacking Olvedo Heinze in one of tournament poker's typical coinflip scenarios.

Heinze was all in with {Q-}{Q-} and was up against Rodriguez's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. The ladies stayed ahead on the flop, but the {K-Hearts} on the turn propelled Rodriguez into the lead. The river bricked off and Heinze was sent to the rail.

Cody Shove Gets Through

Jake Cody has not had the best of days here in Prague, but he does still ave a playable stack of 11,000, thanks in part to getting a three-bet shove through uncalled.

Lukas Berglund opened to 900 in late position and Giuseppe Sammartino called next to act. Cody was the next player in line to play and he three-bet all-in for 9,200 in total. Berglund reluctantly released his hand and Sammartino followed suit.

Filipovic Makes a Kilian

Alija Filipovic moved all in for 8,600 on a board of {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. The bet was about three quarters of the pot, and after mulling the decision over, [Removed:172] called.

Filipvoc flipped over {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a set of nines, and Kramer mucked his hand. Filipvoc more than doubled to 30,000 chips, while Kramer dropped down to around 63,000.

Ace-High Takes Down Large Pot

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

First to act, Sergey Kuzminskiy raised to 800. Two folds later and the action was on Chris Brammer and the British pro three-bet to 1,600. The action then passed to the cutoff, Elie El Feghali, who called. But that was not the end of the action. Kuzminsky then raised to 3,300 and both active players called.

The {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop saw all three players check, but the {6-Spades} turn prompted Kuzminskiy to lead out with a 5,500 bet. Brammer folded and El Feghali called. That was the last of the betting because both players checked the {j-Hearts} river.

Kuzminskiy opened up {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and it was good for the pot, a El Feghali mucked his hand.

Chen vs. Tureniec / Big Slick vs. Queens

We're not sure of the betting, but a preflop raising war resulted in Andrew Chen, who took third in this very event back in Season 5, being all in preflop for 33,575 and racing against Michael Tureniec.

Showdown
Chen: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Tureniec: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Chen had a 43.03% chance of winning the hand, while Tureniec was the 56.55% favorite. Luckily for Chen, the {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{K-Spades} flop paired his king and made him a 90.61% favorite. The {8-Diamonds} turn made that 97.73% and left Tureniec drawing to a one outer. Not surprisingly, it wasn't in the cards as the {5-Diamonds} fell on the river to give Chen a flush and the double. Tureniec was left with just 5,600 after the hand.

The table, which also included Ole Schemion and Tony Chang, broke shortly thereafter.
