Double for Tuna on the River

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Akin Tuna opened for 20,000 and Anirudh Seth, who had him easily covered, moved all in. Tuna nodded his consent and turned over {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} versus the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} of Seth. The board ran out {3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} giving Tuna the wheel on the river. “Always that one card.” Said Vanessa Selbst at the table.

Another Double for the Tuna

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

In the next hand after doubling through Andy Seth, Akin Tuna promptly lost half his stack to Dmitry Yurasov.

Not long after, Tuna opened for 20,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 58,000 from Jeff Rossiter in the small blind. Tuna responded by moving all in for 180,000 and Rossiter snap-called.

Tuna: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Rossiter: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Tuna got it in and was looking to dodge an ace, which is exactly what he did when when the board ran out {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

Mantel Doubles Thorugh Seth

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Ariel Mantel shoved for the second hand in a row, this time for 153,000 under the gun. Anirudh Seth in the in the small blind asked how much it was and how much his neighbor in the big blind had. He thean announced all in and the big blind quickly released his hand.

Seth showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} but was second best at the time: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for Mantel. Both would flop a pair on {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} but that would be it. No split pot or suck out with the {4-Diamonds} on the turn and {6-Clubs} on the river. Mantel doubles, Seth loses some chips.

Slow Going

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Things have been slow since returning from the break. The two-table bubble has been going on for quite some time, but given that players are playing short handed at each of the three tables, we expect it'll burst sooner than later.

Akin Tuna Eliminated in 17th Place (€23,300)

Akin Tuna opened for 25,000 and was raised to 58,000 by Dmitry Yurasov on his left. The blinds folded and Tuna made the call. They saw a flop of {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Tuna was first to act and slammed his column of chips all in for his last 190,000. Yurasov studied his opponent and made the call with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. He was right, Tuna was on a draw with {q-Spades}{8-Spades} and could also hit a six. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river {3-Diamonds} bricked out to send Tuna out.

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

At the same time Akin Tuna was eliminated, on a different table Bryn Kenney's tournament also came to an end. Oleksii Khoroshenin raised to 25,000 on the button, Max Heinzelmann called from the small blind and Kenney did likewise from the big blind. The flop was {A-}{4-}{3-} with two spades, it checked to Khoroshenin he continuation bet with {A-}{J-}, Heinzelmann folded, Kenney check-shoved with {K-Spades}{9-Spades} and Khoroshenin called.

Both the turn and river were blanks meaning Kenney was out, whilst Khoroshenin is up to roughly 1,075,000.

Kenney was eliminated before the redraw was conducted, so it'll be just 15 players combining to the final two tables.
