Berglund Busts Another One

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Lukas Berglund
Lukas Berglund

Michael Tureniec opened from under the gun plus two for 4,500. Italian player Elesion Tusha was seated in the hijack and made it 11,400. From the small blind Lukas Berglund cold four-bet to 22,000 and Tureniec got out of the way. Tusha pushed all in for about 60,000 and Berglund made the call.

Elesion Tusha: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Lukas Berglund: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The flop came jack-high but Tusha still had four outs: {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The {8-Hearts} on the turn took away those four queens though and the {5-Spades} on the river was of no influence whatsoever.

Lukas Berglund was already the chip leader of the tournament, and just added some more for good measures.

Aces Propel Riehl to a Double

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We didn't see what happened, but we do know that France's Ludovic Riehl just doubled through Mathew Frankland. The latter's cards had already been mucked, while Riehl had the {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} laid out in front of him on a {2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board.

Meanwhile, both Benjamin Pollak and Jean Muller have been eliminated from the tournament.

Three-Way All In

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Tamer Kamel
Tamer Kamel

We aren't exactly sure what happened pre flop, but three players got their stacks in before a single community card was dealt.

Tamer Kamel: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Dzmitry Urbanovich: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Iliodoros Kamatakis: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Kamel and Urbanovich were both at risk as Kamatakis had them covered. Urbanovich was the shortest of the bunch with about 33,000 in chips. Kamel had 30,000 more than that, Kamatakis had plenty to spare.

The {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop spelled doom for Kamel as both his opponents out flopped him. The {6-Spades} on the turn and {Q-Diamonds} on the river couldn't save him and he exited the tournament.

Meanwhile Urbanovich tripled and Kamatakis broke about even.

Ramdin Loses A Flip

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Victor Ramdin
Victor Ramdin

Stephen Chidwick opened the action with a raise to 4,400 and on the button, Victor Ramdin called. One seat over, Adrian Mateos Diaz moved all in for 36,000 to scare off the initial raiser. Ramdin called and both players turned over their cards:

Diaz: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Ramdin: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} board delivered no help for Ramdin, however he cannot complain too much about today as he started Day 2 with only 12 big blinds.

Day Gets Better for Coren

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Tamer Kamel opened for 4,000 and got called by Vicky Coren on his left and the big blind. The three players saw a flop of {6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades}. The big blind checked and Kamel continued for 5,100 but was raised by Coren to 12,000. The big blind folded and they saw a turn card {q-Hearts}.

Both players checked the turn and saw a river card {k-Diamonds}. Kamel slid out a bet of 19,200 and Coren issued an audible “call.” turning over her {a-Spades}{k-Spades} without further ceremony. Kamel just nodded and mucked his cards as the bet and pot was pushed Coren’s way.

Bisciglia Doubles Through Chidwick

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Filippo Bisciglia three-bet an open raise and Stephen Chidwick four-bet only for the Italian to move all in for 48,000. The initial raiser folded and Chidwick called with the {A-}{K-}. It was a coin flip against the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of Bisciglia and the {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} stayed clear for the Italian.
