Darie Gets a Double

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev opened to 1,000 from the cutoff. Vlad Darie three-bet to 3,500 from the button which Madanzhiev called.

Action checked through on the {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop through to the {3-Diamonds} turn. Madanzhiev checked-jammed as the big stack after Darie bet 6,700. After a moment, Darie called off his remaining 29,200 stack.

Vlad Darie: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Stoyan Madanzhiev: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Darie would just need to dodge his opponent's two outs and he did just that as the {7-Clubs} hit the river.

Kanit Back to the Registration Desk

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Mustapha Kanit
Mustapha Kanit

Mustapha Kanit is on to his second bullet after being on the wrong end of a cooler versus Adam Bonham.

With action picked up on a river board of {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, Kanit faced a roughly pot-sized bet of 25,300, which would leave him with just 600 chips if he called and lost.

That's exactly what happened, as Bonham showed Kanit {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a turned full house, which also gave Kanit the nut flush, as he flashed {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} before tossing his cards into the muck.

Kanit's final 600 chips would disappear shortly after, and he was off to the registration desk to drop another €10,000 into the prize pool.

Kisacikoglu Duels With Petrangelo

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Picking action up in a three-way pot on the {2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop, Orpen Kisacikoglu checked from the big blind to Nick Petrangelo in middle position. Petrangelo bet 600, which drew a fold from Niklas Astedt on the button, but Kisacikoglu called.

The turn brought the {q-Hearts} and after Kisacikoglu checked again, Petrangelo sized up to 5,200. Kisacikoglu made the call.

Kisacikoglu then checked once more on the {2-Hearts} river and Petrangelo took his time deciding his action, using a pair of time banks before finally checking behind.

Kisacikoglu showed {a-Spades}{4-Spades}, and Petrangelo then turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} with each player holding two pair, aces and deuces with a queen kicker to chop the pot.

Preflop Battle Leads to Nguyen Taking a Big Pot from Gonzalez

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Thi Nguyen
Thi Nguyen

Jose Manuel Gonzalez just lost a decent chunk of his stack after a preflop battle with Thi Nguyen.

Gonzalez opened from the hijack and was three-bet by Nguyen in the small blind. Gonzalez then came back with a four-bet to 11,700 which Nguyen called.

On the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop, after Nguyen checked to Gonzalez, drawing an 8,000 chip bet from the Eureka High Roller champ, she check-raised him to 20,000.

Gonzalez called, leaving himself about 20,000 behind.

The turn {2-Diamonds} was then checked through and another seemingly useless card on the river, the {4-Hearts} was also checked through.

Nguyen turned over {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} which was good, as Gonzalez mucked his cards and the pot was pushed to his opponent.
