Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Francky Magliocco
Francky Magliocco

The action was picked up on a three-way flop of {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop on which Francky Magliocco and Vojtech Cervinka checked. Duman Vural then bet 3,800 with 10,000 behind and Magliocco jammed. Cervinka inquired about the chips behind of Vural and then pushed all-in for Vural to call.

Francky Magliocco: {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Duman Vural: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Vojtech Cervinka: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

The {k-Diamonds} turn and {5-Clubs} river runout ensured the triple up of Magliocco while Vural was eliminated in the side pot.

Bendinelli Doubles Through Alt

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Giuliano Bendinelli
Giuliano Bendinelli

Soon after returning from the last break, the action folded all the way to Giuliano Bendinelli in the small blind. He had not looked at his cards yet and rubbed the hands. Once he had checked the cards, he shrugged and said "let's do it" before he pushed his short stack of 5,700.

Dinesh Alt called after a few seconds and Bendinelli showed "top of the range", exposing the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Alt had the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and both players made a full house on the {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} board for Bendinelli to double.

Ylitalo Busts Soering

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Robin Ylitalo
Robin Ylitalo

With 7,200 each invested to the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop, Robin Ylitalo bet for what appeared to be 4,500 in the hijack. Hendriekus Soering then pushed all-in for 16,800 and Ylitalo reluctantly called.

Hendriekus Soering: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Robin Ylitalo: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The {8-Hearts} turn made a split pot likely but the {k-Diamonds} river restored the preflop and flop order, as Ylitalo made kings and tens to score the knockout.

Sitbon Soars to a Big Stack

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Julien Sitbon
Julien Sitbon

Valerii Kalynych check-called a bet worth 15,000 on a completed board of {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} river while in the big blind. Julien Sitbon tabled the {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} from an early position and Kalynych mucked his {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} with a lot of frustration.

One hand later, Sitbon opened to 800 and called a three-bet to 2,300 by Luciano Cutri. On the {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, Sitbon check-called for 5,000 and the {8-Clubs} turn was checked. Following the {2-Diamonds} river, Sitbon bet 7,000 and Cutri paid that off. Sitbon exposed {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for nines and eights to win the pot.

Drozd Drills One Outer to Crush Marletta's Aces

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Aces, Kings, Ace-King Cooler
Aces, Kings, Ace-King Cooler

Three players played a massive, all-in pot. All the chips got in the middle preflop and roars were heard across the room.

Giorgio Marletta, Leonidas Androutsos, and Ondrej Drozd were the three players involved. All three had monsters.

Giorgio Marletta: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Leonidas Androutsos: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Ondrej Drozd: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Marletta couldn't have hoped for a much better spot, having both opponents drawing very thin. He looked great on the {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. The {2-Hearts} was a safe turn. The river caused all the commotion, though, when the one outer {k-Hearts} hit the board. Drozd came from way behind to win the massive pot, send Marletta out the door, and leave Androutsos with crumbs.

Roussey Busts Grossmann and Peffly

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Alex Peffly
Alex Peffly

On the river of a {7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board, Lukasz Szymon Grossmann checked with a shorter stack behind. Quentin Roussey then pushed all-in and Grossmann reluctantly called to get shown the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for an overpair. Grossmann exposed {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and headed out of the tournament area.

Shortly after, he was involved in another larger pot and bet the {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop before calling the shove by Alex Peffly for 15,200.

Alex Peffly: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Quentin Roussey: {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The {9-Diamonds} turn improved Roussey to a pair and the {4-Spades} river sent Peffly to the rail, who could all but smile.

"I kinda misread your stack, guess I could have asked," Roussey admitted in table chat.

Cutri Gambles and It Pays Off

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Luciano Cutri
Luciano Cutri

Luciano opened from the cutoff before Boris Kuzmanovic three-bet the button to 1,600. In the small blind, Ivan Bryskin moved all in for 8,000. He would be getting action.

Cutri made the call that represented half his remaining stack. Back on Kuzmanovic, he moved in enough to cover Cutri's remaining stack. Cutri thought for a while before committing his full stack of 16,000. The three were heading to a runout for all the chips.

Ivan Bryskin: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Luciano Cutri: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}
Boris Kuzmanovic: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Kuzmanovic had the goods, but Cutri had a pretty ace-cracking hand. They did just that on the {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades} board, flopping trips to win it all.

Cutri started celebrating and shouting in Italian when he saw the lucky flop.

"English, please," joked Bryskin as he stood up to exit.

"English, what is this English," replied Cutri while continuing his celebration.

Bohdanov Calls Correctly with a Mighty Pair

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Renat Bohdanov
Renat Bohdanov

On the river of a {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} board in the last hand before the break, Jan Bednar fired a bet worth 15,000 for most of his stack. That was roughly the size of the pot as bets of 3,700 had been pulled into the middle after preflop action already.

Renat Bohdanov mulled it over for a few seconds only and then called. Bednar exposed the {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a busted gutshot and Bohdanov won the pot with the {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for nines and fours before they headed to the rail.

Gilboa Loses a Chunk to Braco

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Uri Gilboa
Uri Gilboa

Three ways to a flop of {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Ivan Banic checked out of the big blind. Uri Gilboa bet 1,100 from under the gun and Pasquale Braco raised to 2,800 from the next seat. Banic quickly folded and Gilboa called. After the {k-Spades} turn, Gilboa check-called for 5,200 to then also check the {6-Spades} on the river.

Braco now bet 12,200 and Gilboa counted his chips before sending the cards into the muck.
