Kacper Pyzara Takes Some Back From Cates

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We missed the exact action, but we're pretty sure Kacper Pyzara limped in for 10,000, and then called a raise from his neighbor Cates. The two checked on {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and got the money in on the {7-Hearts} turn. Pyzara showed {10-Spades}{7-Spades} and Cates couldn't believe what just had happened and for some time refused to show his cards. He eventually showed his {A-}{4-} and doubled his neighbor after the {5-Clubs} hit the river.

Before that, Cates had already doubled his other neighbor with pocket fours against {5-Spades}{7-Spades} pre flop all in for 18 big blinds each, so "Jungleman" is down to a million.

Deadman and Kobylinskiy Go Down Against Palumbo

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Rocco Palumbo is running hot
Rocco Palumbo is running hot

Artem Kobylinskiy opened for 22,000 from early position and Rocco Palumbo made the call in the hijack. Simon Deadman moved all in for 196,000 from the small blind and the big blind folded. Artem Kobylinskiy pushed all in over the top for about 282,000 and Palumbo instantly called to put them both at risk.

Rocco Palumbo: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Artem Kobylinskiy: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Simon Deadman: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Once again, the best hand held up: {Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Because Kobylinskiy had more chips, he finished one position higher (39th) than Deadman (40th). The difference? (€19,550 - €17,420 =) €2,310.
