Arnaud Peyroles Doubles With a Set of Nines

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Arnaud Peyroles was facing a bet of 50,000 from Dick Postel on the turn with the board reading {6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} with the pot already slightly more than the bet. After a small time in the tank, Peyroles declared himself all in for 102,000.

Postel went into the tank for a couple of minutes and was counting his chips. He eventually made the call with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} with no possibility of catching up against Peyroles who was holding {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a set. The {10-Clubs} completed the board giving Peyroles a full house and a big pot midway through the first blind level of the day to bring his stack to around 270,000.

Meanwhile, Postel's stack was cut by more than half and is now down to 72,000 after the hand.

Pollak Times Out; Urbanovich Busto

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Benjamin Pollak was deep in the tank on a board of {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. The Frenchman was in the cutoff and Sam Cohen had jammed for about 120,000 into a pot of over 200,000 on his immediate right. Pollak thought for about four or five minutes before someone called the clock. Pollak leaned over and tried to talk to Cohen, but she didn't respond. Pollak held onto his cards until the end of the countdown, when they were declared dead.

At the neighboring table, Dzmitry Urbanovich went bust. His chips appeared to go to Roman Korenev.

Meliopoulos Busts to Cerkvenik

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Within the first half an hour of Day 3, a total of 34 players have been eliminated as the floodgates for all the short stacks opened. One of the latest casualties was Konstantinos Meliopoulos, who shoved for his last 35,500 from the cutoff. Tim Cerkvenik in the big blind had little more and called.

Konstantinos Meliopoulos: {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Tim Cerkvenik: {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and the ace scooped the pot for Cerkvenik.

Zawadzki Doubles; Gutyi Doesn't

Mykhailo Gutyi - on the bubble from Day 2
Mykhailo Gutyi - on the bubble from Day 2

Karol Radomski opened to 9,000 and Michal Ozimek called from the cutoff. Mikolaj Zawadzki then shoved for 56,000 from the button and Radomski folded, Ozimek called with {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Zawadzki had a flip with {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and dodged both over cards and a gutshot on a board of {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} to double through his fellow countryman.

Mykhailo Gutyi was one of the players to double on the bubble last night, but he just ran out of chips on a table nearby. His shove for 31,000 saw a reshove by Jean Souprayenmestry from one seat over with {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and Gutyi had the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The board came {Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Spades} and that was it for Gutyi.

All In & Calls Around the Room

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Day 3 has begun at a fast and furious pace with shouts of "all-in", "call" and "seat open" being the dominant background noise along with the usual chip shuffling.

While many of the shorter stacks are already doubling up, just as many are leaving the tournament arena. One player to have his day cut early was Romania's Elvis Petcu who got his short stack all in on the flop of {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} against Slovakia's Tomas Kubaliak.

Kubaliak, who was holding {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, or middle pair, was ahead of Petcu who was holding {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and his hand improved even further to a flush after the {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} completed the board. Petcu walked away with a minimum cash of €7,580, who Kubaliak's stack is a little more than he started the day with at around 240,000.

Sandsgaard Cracks Wong's Aces

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

From the cutoff, Borge Sandsgaard opened to 9,000 and Jerry Wong three-bet to 24,000 in the small blind. Sandsgaard moved all in and Wong quickly called, having the Norwegian dominated. Sandsgaard was in shell shock and gasped a "oh my god" after having run into aces.

Borge Sandsgaard: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Jerry Wong: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} to give Sandsgaard a set and he doubled for 269,000, immediately apologized to his opponent. Wong kept a smile on the face and replied with "it's all good."
