Cold Four-Bet

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

First to act, Ali Reza Fatehi opened for 3,500. His neighbor Steffen Sontheimer three-bet to 10,000 before Juha Helppi on his left, cold four-bet to 25,000. Action folded around to Fatehi and he instantly released his cards into the muck. Sontheimer wasn't following his neighbor's lead and called.

Sontheimer checked on {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} and called as Helppi bet 28,000. Both players then checked the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn. The {4-Spades} completed the board and Sontheimer bet 42,000. Helppi instantly folded.

Nick Petrangelo made it 3,000 to go from the button and Mikita Badziakouski defended his big blind to check the flop of {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}. Petrangelo continued for 4,000 and received the call before the {K-Diamonds} fell on the turn.

Badziakouski checked for a second time and Petrangelo bet 18,000, the Belarusian called. After the {5-Diamonds} river, both players checked and Badziakouski tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines to claim the pot, further adding to his growing stack.

Four Further Entries

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Sergio Aido, Julian Thomas and Konstantin Uspenskiy registered and sat down towards the end of the first level while Steffen Sontheimer had to wait for a new table to open. That was done just a few minutes later and the German, who railed fellow countryman Stefan Schillhabel's victory in yesterday's €10,000 High Roller, received chips as well.

No Showdown Poker

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Action folded to Steve O'Dwyer in the small blind and he limped in. Big blind [Removed:17] checked his option to see a cheap flop.

O'Dwyer, who won this event last year for €746,543, bet 1,500 on {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Yan was quick to call and called the 3,000 bet his neighbor made on the {J-Spades} turn as well.

The {K-Diamonds} completed the board and O'Dwyer bet 7,200. Yan instantly tossed in a couple of random chips to call. O'Dwyer mucked, and so did Yan while raking in the chips.

Martin Kozlov
Martin Kozlov

Martin Kozlov opened to 2,000 under the gun and got a call from Ali Reza Fatehi before Nariman Yaghmai made it 8,000 to go from the cutoff.

Helppi Takes from Aldemir

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

After two hands that only saw a flop and went no further, some action took place between Koray Aldemir and Juha Helppi. The former raised to 2,500 on the button and the latter defended the big blind. Both players opted to check a flop of {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} before the {Q-Spades} turn also went check, check.

On the {K-Clubs} river, Helppi checked and Aldemir bet 3,100. Helppi then check-raised to 11,000 and Aldemir quickly tossed in a single chip for the call only to muck once the Finn showed him {5-Spades}{2-Spades} for a flush.
