Stanislav Koleno
Stanislav Koleno

A raising war broke out and Yi Ye had clicked to 11,000 already when Stanislav Koleno then moved all in for 29,700. Ye reluctantly called and the cards were turned over.

Stanislav Koleno: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Yi Ye: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The boad came {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Ye was reduced to a mere 3,500.

Gulseven Doubles With Flush

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

There was 5,100 in the middle from preflop action on a board of {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Action was heads up between a player in middle position and Erdal Gulseven, who was in the cutoff. The middle-position player bet 2,500 and received a call from Gulseven.

The turn came {9-Spades} and the middle-position player checked. Gulseven quickly threw out a bet of 11,600 and told his opponent he had around 10,000 or a bit less behind when the player looked to see his remaining chips. The middle-position player then called.

The river fell {9-Diamonds} and the middle-position player checked. Gulseven shoved his remaining chips into the middle and the dealer counted them to total 7,300. His opponent called after a few moments of thought and hands were tabled.

Erdal Gulseven: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}
Middle Position: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Gulseven's flush was good over his opponent's aces up with a king kicker and earned him a double, bringing him just shy of 50,000 in doing so.

Ye Eliminated by Erlei

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Yi Ye moved all in for the last 3,200 in the hijack and was called by Shakhabiddin Muradov in the cutoff. Udo Erlei on the button reraised to 12,000 and Muradov counted his stack before sending the cards into the muck.

Yi Ye: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Udo Erlei: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Ye flopped the nut flush draw on {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, but the {4-Clubs} turn and {5-Clubs} river run out brought no miracle.

Nines Good for Sasek

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player in early position opened to 1,200 and action folded around to Milan Sasek, who called out of the cutoff. The player on the button and the big blind both called as well and the four players saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}. The big blind checked to the original opener, who fired out a continuation-bet of 3,500. Only Sasek called. Both players then checked both the turn {q-Hearts} and river {k-Clubs} to take the hand to showdown.

The early-position player showed {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights and Sasek turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, good to earn him the pot with his pair of nines.

Kavoukis Raises Out Staszko on River

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Efstathios Kavoukis was in early position and opened to 1,600. He saw action fold around to Martin Staszko, who defended his big blind, and the two saw the flop come {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Staszko checked and Kavoukis made a continuation-bet of 1,000. Staszko called.

Both players checked the turn {k-Clubs} to bring the river {k-Diamonds}, and Staszko fired out a bet of 1,600. Kavoukis thought for about 30 seconds and then put out a raise to 6,700.

Staszko wasted no time sending his cards to the muck, releasing them at the same time the dealer announced a raise to earn Kavoukis the pot.

Dang Dusts Kuzmanovic

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

An all-in and a call were overheard as Boris Kuzmanovic committed the last of his chips from early position into a pot of 6,700 on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Hai Dang was the caller from the cutoff and both hands were tabled thereafter.

Boris Kuzmanovic: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Hai Dang: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Kuzmanovic found his nut flush draw up against Dang's better ace, giving himself nine diamonds and three sevens to improve in addition to running straight cards. The turn {9-Spades} gave him three more outs at the gutshot, but he was unable to hit as the river {j-Clubs} completed the runout with his ace being second best to that of Dang's to result in his elimination from the tournament.

Im Eliminated by Jozonis

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

With some 9,000 in the middle and the turn showing {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Yungshin Im checked and Tomas Jozonis bet 6,500. Im moved all in for more than double of that and Jozonis eventually tossed in a single chip for the call.

Youngshin Im: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Tomas Jozonis: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The {2-Hearts} on the river was a brick and Im was sent to the rail.

Jurga Knocks Out Manole

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Mihai Manole went all in from early position for the last few chips remaining in his stack and action folded around to Ladislav Jurga, who called out of the big blind.

Mihai Manole: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Ladislav Jurga: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} to give Jurga two pair, tens and eights and improve him beyond Manole's ace-king to go along with the board's pair of tens. A few players at the table offered their condolences to Manole, to which he gracefully said that today was not his day before getting up and exiting the tournament area.
