Stefanelli Doubles Through Goeller

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Bruno Stefanelli opened under the gun to 26,000 and in the hijack it was Andreas Goeller who made it 61,000 to go. All other players folded, Stefanelli made the call.

Stefanelli continued to check-call his entire stack of. On the {A-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}-flop he check-called 56,000, on the {2-Diamonds}-turn he check-called 100,000, and on the {9-Diamonds} river he check-called allin for 260,000.

Goeller mucked, but his hand was later shown. We couldn't quite catch it, but it included a jack and it wasn't good enough to beat Stefanelli's {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

For How Long Can The Gurrea Lucky Shirt Hold Out?

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Last year Artem Litvinov rode to third place in the Main Event on the back of a lucky shirt, or perhaps that should be the other way around. The Russian wore a pale blue shirt each day last season. This year Miguel Gurrea has worn the same yellow shirt each day. Will the Spaniard have similar results? Find out in the PokerStars Blog.

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Michael Tureniec
Michael Tureniec

Alex Kravchenko opened the button for 25,000 and got a call from Andreas Goeller in the small blind. Michael Tureniec in the big blind squeezed to 93,000 and Kravchenko made it 300,000. Goeller folded, Tureniec moved allin for a little more and Kravchenko made the call. It all went very quick and we just got there, so we might have made a mistake with the amount of chips everyone raised, but the action was like that.

Kravchenko opened {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} while Tureniec had {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. The board would eventually consist of just blanks for Tureniec: {Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Michael Tureniec departs in 26th place (€15,130), 25 remain.
