Tsugunari Toma
Tsugunari Toma

Tsugunari Toma was crusing for most of the day but within 25 minutes that all has come to a crushing halt after losing a massive pot to Dan Abouaf before bowing out to Ole Schemion.

Toma on the button raised and faced a three-bet by Abouaf in the small blind before four-betting to 46,000. Abouaf five-bet and Toma six-bet all in to see Abouaf snap-call for 205,500 in total.

Dan Abouaf: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Tsugunari Toma: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board came {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Toma was left with just 17,000. However, the Japanese chipped up shortly after before the remaining 50,000 went in preflop against a limp by Schemion. The German snap-called and the cards were turned over.

Tsugunari Toma: {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Ole Schemion: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board came {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and Schemion jumped out of his chair, celebrating and even high-fiving with Philipp Gruissem. He then apologized and shook hands with Toma, who left the tournament are with a smile on the face.

Lecomte Falls to Kolonias

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Alexandros Kolonias
Alexandros Kolonias

Alexandros Kolonias had been fairly active with his big stack and opened a lot of hands, and he just did so again for 5,500 on the button. Quentin Lecomte three-bet all in from the big blind for what appeared to be 67,000 and Kolonias snap-called.

Quentin Lecomte: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Alexandros Kolonias: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board of {Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} provided no help for Lecomte, instead Kolonias even improved to a full house to bust the Frenchman.

Ignatov Doubles; Mamouni Doesn't

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Sam Greenwood raised to 6,000 and Smain Mamouni moved all in for 56,000. Greenwood asked for a count and called to create the following showdown.

Smain Mamouni: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Sam Greenwood: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board came {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Greenwood's jack-high straight sent Mamouni packing.

Pavel Ignatov's shove for 19,000 was called by Nicola Grieco and the Italian tabled {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, trailing the {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} of Ignatov. Grieco paired up on the {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop, but the {5-Hearts} turn locked up the double for Ignatov to make the {10-Spades} river a formality.
