Koleno Takes From Rezaei

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Heads-up to the {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs} turn, Armin Rezaei check-called a bet worth 2,700 by Stanislav Koleno on a table filled with notable late entries. The duo headed to the {5-Diamonds} on the river and Rezaei checked once more. Koleno now made it 6,000 to go and that won the pot uncontested, as Rezaei opted to fold.

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Steven van Zadelhoff raised to 300 from under the gun and Norbert Szecsi in the middle position, Andreas Boelling in the cutoff , and Charlie Carrel in the big blind all made the call.

They all checked through the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop to the {q-Spades} on the turn. It was checked to Szecsi who bet 800 which only Carrel called.

The {10-Clubs} completed the board and they both checked again. Carrel showed the {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for two pair but Szecsi held the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for the pot.

Glogar Starts With a Preflop Shove

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

On a recently opened table with late arrivals, Alexander Glogar three-bet to 1,600. Keith Lehr then four-bet to 5,400 only for Glogar to rather swiftly push all-in.

"How much did I start with?" Lehr asked and counted his chips, then engaged in some table chat with his table neighbour. Eventually, Lehr folded and Glogar raked in the pot. The same table also features Axel Hallay and Vlada Stojanovic as well and the Day 1a field has now surpassed 200 entries.

Blex Second Player to Bust

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

There was already an elimination after just a few minutes and the second player to bust was Germany's Waldemar Blex. He had lost a ton of chips against Masato Yokosawa and was then involved in three-way action to the {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{a-Spades} river. With 8,000 in the middle, Jean Mikhael bet 4,000 out of the small blind and the third player in the hand folded.

Blex had 7,600 behind on the button and tanked, then moved all-in to get called by Mikhael. He was shown the {10-Spades}{8-Clubs} for trips tens by Blex, which Mikhael had beat with the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for tens full of nines.
