Vogelsang Doubles Through Boatman

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Barny Boatman just flopped the world with {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} against Christoph Vogelsang with the German check-calling on the {A-}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop and the {2-} turn before facing the shove on the {3-} river. Ultimately, Vogelsang said "I can beat ace-king, so I guess I have to call" and did so with ace-three to help himself back up to starting stack.

"Do you want Some Chocolate?"

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Eoin O'Shea open-shoved for 9,575 chips from early position and the action folded around to chip leader Kamran Aliyev in the small blind. The player from Azerbaijan asked for an exact count and then made the call before flipping over {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. O'Shea was at risk with {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Aliyev wished his opponent food luck.

That was not needed anymore after a flop of {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} and O'Shea's double was officially confirmed when the {J-Hearts} turn and {10-Clubs} river completed the board. Aliyev then grabbed his chocolate bar and asked his opponent "do you want some chocolate?" but O'Shea grabbed the chips instead.

Habib Ousts Vieira

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Action was pre-flop and Walid Bou Habib opened only to get three-bet to 3,200 from the player in the big blind Joao Vieira. Habib four-bet to 8,500 and was shoved on by Vieira. Habib thought for a few minutes before making the call.

Habib: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Vieira: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

There was a queen in the window, and the flop had a lot more in store for Habib as it came {q-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. The {3-Clubs} offered no sweats to Vieira who was looking for a single king, but the {10-Diamonds} bricked which meant that Vieira was eliminated. Habib moves within touching distance of 100,000 chips

Magirius Pushes Out Manolea

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Joining the action on the {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} turn, Sven Magirius check-raised from 4,500 to 15,000 out of the small blind and Luciana Manoela called to see the {J-Clubs} river. Magirius now bet 18,000 and Manolea only had 28,000 behind to eventually let go. "Even if I don't have it, it's still a tough call," the German added.

With Magirius on the up again, another player has consistently added to his stack one table over: Vojtech Ruzicka. The Czech is quickly approaching six digits.
