Fedor Holz

Blinds 3,000/6,00/6,000

Action began on the turn in a button-versus-blind battle. The board showed {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

With about 90,000 in the middle, Fedor Holz checked from the big blind. Yosuke Nakazawa bet 60,000 on the button. Holz check-called.

The river fell the {a-Clubs}. Holz checked again. Nakazawa moved all in after about 10 seconds of thought. Holz started counting his stack while considering the call for his tournament life, he had just under 60,000 remaining. Eventually, he did make the call.

Fedor Holz: {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Yosuke Nakazawa: {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Holz picked off the bluff, sending him up the leaderboard to about twice the average stack size.

Blinds: 3,000/6,000/6,000

Alessandro Orsi Smittarello moved in for 37,000 from the cutoff.

"How much?" asked Ylva Thorsrud. As soon as she confirmed, she put the chips in.

Alessandro Orsi Smittarello: {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Ylva Thorsrud: {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}

Dominated from the start, Thorsrud saw hope on the {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop. The gutshot came in on the [5h turn, leaving Smittarello hoping for a chop that didn't come on the {6-Clubs} river.

Blinds 2,000/5,000/5,000

Issam Salem opened to 10,000 from middle position. On his left, Richard Neumann three-bet to 25,000. After about a minute, Salem moved all in for 102,000. Neumann called quickly.

"Ahhhh," moaned Salem assuming he had ran into a monster.

Issam Salem: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Richard Neumann: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

He had run into the pocket kinds of Neumann, but the {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} gave him some life. The perfect {10-Diamonds} brought that life home to give him the unbeatable straight, and the board finished with a {5-Hearts}.

Blinds: 2,000/4,000/4,000

Action began on the flop in a three-way pot. The board was showing {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

Halim Kara checked from the small blind. Henri Wagner bet 11,000 from middle position. On the button, Kimmo Kurko called, then Kara folded.

The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} in play. Wagner elected to slow down with a check. Kurko did the same.

The river landed the {8-Hearts}. Wagner then bet 23,000. After some thought, Kurko grabbed a stack of chips and slid 65,000 into the middle. Wagner looked interested, but in the end, laid down his hand.

"Show the bluff," said a tablemate. "One card."

But Kurko didn't, he just took the pot and moved on.

Michal Hryncewicz opened to 8,000 from middle position. In the cutoff, Petar Kalev found a shove for 35,000. Action folded back to Hryncewicz who made the call to put Kalev at risk.

Petar Kalev: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Michal Hryncewicz: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Kalev liked the look of the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, and kept in the lead with the {j-Clubs} turn and {5-Clubs} river for the double.

Blinds 1,500/3,000/3,000

Gergely Bartos moved all in from the cutoff for 30,300. He picked up one customer, Anatoly Korochenskiy in the small blind, he moved all in for slightly less to put himself at risk.

Anatoly Korochenskiy: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Gergely Bartos: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Korochenskiy looked good on the [qh5c5s[ flop. However, the {a-Hearts} turn was a dagger that the {2-Spades} river couldn't fix.

Blinds: 1,000/2,500/2,500

Mark Metsla opened to 6,000 from the hijack and was called by Fedor Holz to his left. Everyone else folded.

The flop came out {4-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Out of position against Holz, always a fun proposition, Metsla put out a bet of 6,500. He was relieved to see Holz toss his hand into the muck.

Still, Holz has built a decent stack pretty quickly as blinds are getting up there with 300 players remaining in the field.

Nino Ullmann moved all in for 21,500 from under the gun. One by one, each player to his left folded all the way to the big blind. There, Arash Karimkhanzand looked at his hand, did some quick math, and made the call to put Ullmann at risk.

Nino Ullmann: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Arash Karimkhanzand: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

Ullmann pulled ahead on the {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop and stayed there on the {8-Spades} turn and {a-Spades} river to get the double.
