Bozinovic Busts in Two Hands

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Vladimir Bozinovic tank-called the shove of Akin Tuna on the river of a {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} board and had to forfeit another 11,700 as his {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} were no match against the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} of Tuna.

That hand left Bozinovic with 1,900 chips and he three-bet all in when facing a raise to 1,200 by a player from under the gun. Akin Tuna called the 1,900 in the cutoff and Joris Ruijs on the button reluctantly folded. Luigi D'Alterio in the small blind jammed for 13,500 and that isolated successfully.

Vladimir Bozinovic: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Luigi D'Alterio: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop gave the Italian a gutshot and while the {j-Spades} turn blanked, he did get there on the {10-Hearts} river to bust Bozinovic just shy of the dinner break.

Meijer van Putten Chops With Borlan

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

There were 13,100 in the middle and the completed board showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. Dan Serban Borlan had checked and Jasper Meijer van Putten moved all in or 15,600. Borlan asked the dealer to spread the pot and apologized to the table for taking the time to think.

He eventually called and Meijer van Putten tabled the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, Borlan chopped with the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and the words "sorry, I wasn't slowrolling you."

Ruida Runs Into the Blades

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Lin Ruida in better times
Lin Ruida in better times

With previous action unknown on a {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, one thing was for sure: Lin Ruida did not have a good hand. The Chinese player had 27,000 in front of him, to which Adam Hari had responded with an all-in shove for 35,400 total.

While just 8,400 more to call, it was clear Ruida had a couple of ragballs hidden in the hole as he spent over five minutes figuring out whether he'd get the odds to climb out of the hole he'd created for himself. The clock got called and, reluctantly, he flung in the few extra chips.

Adam Hari: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Lin Ruida: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Ruida needed a creative backdoor escape if he was to win this one but the {6-Diamonds} turn shut down every conceivable angle, rendering the {7-Clubs} river a mere formality.

Kim Busts Filatov and Levy

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Gab Yong Kim
Gab Yong Kim

Gab Yong Kim has joined the big stacks before the dinner break after just scoring a double knockout by sending Anatoly Filatov and Tzur Levy to the rail.

Anatoly Filatov: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Tzur Levy: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Gab Yong Kim: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Filatov had been the shortest stack heading into the showdown for around 11,000 and Kim had the best of it. The {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop gave Filatov some hope with a gutshot and a queen would have given him the straight while that card would have improved Levy to a set.

The {5-Diamonds} on the turn left Filatov drawing dead and the {9-Hearts} on the river locked up the entire pot for Kim.

Pesta Pushes Drews Out

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Oleg Drews shoved from the hijack for 8,800 and Vitezslav Pesta called in the cutoff while the rest of the table folded.

Oleg Drews: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Vitezslav Pesta: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for Pesta to turn the higher pair to eliminate Drews.

With Drews out of the tournament, Henrik Hecklen has taken his old seat.

Vogelsang Can't Get There

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Tom Vogelsang raised to 1,300 from early position with only six players at the table. He was called by Chakib Bennani in the hijack, the player in the cutoff, and the player on the big blind.

The flop was dealt {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and all four checked. The turn was the {q-Diamonds} and the big blind checked to Vogelsang who made a delayed continuation-bet of 2,000. Bennani called and the other two players folded.

The river was the {6-Spades} and both checked.

Vogelsang showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for a missed flush and straight draw. Bennani had {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for two pair.
