Bryksin Already down Heaps

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The floor was called over to table 16 as Ivan Bryksin had a question. He inquired how many times it is possible to participate in the event as he was down to around one third of the starting stack already. Only a single re-entry option was pointed out to him and he took a break from the table shortly after.

Earlier on, he had even jokingly suggested to go all-in blind so he could maybe late register before the restart of the €50,000 Super High Roller. "Sure, we can do that and if I lose, you give me €5,000 ... or €50,000 to play in the other event," Julien Sitbon replied.

While Sitbon didn't seem to have gotten any of Bryksin's chips, that is most likely the case for Valerii Kalynych as he leads the way on the table.

Rohm Wins Three-Way Pot

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Three players were fighting for a pot of about 3,800 on the turn. The board looked like {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

From under the gun, Holger Rohm led for 2,000. Cedric Schwaederle made the call on his left. On the button, Michal Mrakes folded his hand.

Two way to the river, it came an {a-Diamonds}. Rohm slowed with a check. Schwaederle bet about 15 percent pot with a bet of 1,100. Rohm called immediately.

Schwederle showed {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the missed combo draw, and Rohm showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for top pair on the river.

Niederreiter Correctly Calls River Bet

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Two players were playing for a pot of about 4,000 with a board of {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

It was Artur Halstan doing the betting from middle position, he put out 2,500. Fabian Niederreiter made the call on the button.

The river brought the {8-Diamonds}. Halstan led again, this time for 7,000. Niederreiter went into the tank for about two minutes, seemingly going back and forth between a call and a fold. He landed on call and put the chips in the pot.

Halstan showed {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for ace high, no good against the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} the made top pair on the turn for Niederreiter.
