Aces, Kings, and Tens

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

There was a three-way all in on Table 19 and all three hands were face up on the table. Krystian Wrobel was the shortest stack and had {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}, Jon Kyte was at risk for around 100,000 and held {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, but Francky Magliocco had them both covered and showed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.

The board ran out {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Magliocco held on to eliminate both Kyte and Wrobel with very little sweat.

Margets and Kitai Eliminated

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Leo Margets
Leo Margets

The ace-queen of Leo Margets were already mucked as she sent her chips over to Simone Andrian. In a flip, Andrian's {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} had prevailed on a board of {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board with a set to send Margets to the rail.

One hand later, Davidi Kitai jammed a short stack and was looked up by Shakhabiddin Muradov.

Davidi Kitai: {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Shakhabiddin Muradov: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board left Kitai drawing dead on the turn already as Team Winamax lost two Team Pros in a row.

Magliocco Among the Biggest Stacks

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Daniel Rezaei had lost a bigger pot against Francky Magliocco in which he got involved with the {q-Spades}{10-Spades} and bet a {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-} flop for 60% of the pot according to the Austrian. The {8-Diamonds} turn brought no major action and Magliocco then check-jammed the {9-Hearts} river.

Rezaei got away with it and Magliocco showed him {j-}{8-} for a turned full house.

He repeated the same feat shortly after when busting a short-stacked Julien Mariani, who jammed some 30,000 with {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Magliocco called with the {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and the {10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board improved the new big stack on every street.

Triple Up for Muradov; Double Up for Lauck

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Christoph Vogelsang
Christoph Vogelsang

The action started with a raise to 8,000 by Jonas Lauck from under the gun and Christoph Vogelsang called. Shakhabiddin Muradov moved all-in for 58,000 in the small blind and Lauck asked for a count before moving all-in over the top.

"Can I please get an exact count on this?" Vogelsang immediately inquired. The jam by Lauck was for 221,000 total, which was just short of what Vogelsang had at his disposal. Some two minutes passed before Vogelsang called.

Shakhabiddin Muradov: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Jonas Lauck: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Christoph Vogelsang: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

"That's not good," Lauck sighed as he needed to catch some help to not be left empty-handed. That help came with the {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and he stayed ahead of Vogelsang on the {2-Clubs} turn and {q-Hearts} river.

Muradov tripled up while Vogelsang was left with around 21,000, which vanished a few minutes later.

Kempe Running Short

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Rainer Kempe raised it up from early position and was called by Danut Chisu on the button and Jeremy Saderne in the big blind. The flop came {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and the action checked around to the {5-Spades} on the turn.

Saderne led out with a bet of 10,000 and Kempe went into the tank for a couple of minutes before announcing a raise to 33,000. Chisu quickly folded and Saderne just called.

The river was the {q-Clubs} and Saderne checked to Kempe who reluctantly checked it back. Saderne flipped over {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a straight and Kempe was unable to beat it.

Sfez Triples, Leaves Nguyen and Turmezey on Crumbs

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action folded to Peter Turmezey on the button who raised it up. Lucas Sfez just called in the small blind and Duong Nguyen made it 35,000 from the big blind. Turmezey shoved all in, followed by Sfez sticking in his last 88,000 and Nguyen putting in his last 97,000 chips.

Lucas Sfez: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Duong Nguyen: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Peter Turmezey: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

It was a cooler no doubt, with the last three players in the hand all picking up premiums. The board ran out {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} to give Sfez a triple up, and leaving Nguyen to collect a small side pot.

Triple Up for Veksler

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Pavel Veksler was already at risk out of the small blind as Andrea Rasulo and Sylvestre Ceccaldi headed to the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop. Rasulo's bet got rid of Ceccaldi and the cards were turned over.

Pavel Veksler: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Andrea Rasulo: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Veksler needed some help and got it with the {8-Spades} turn and {5-Spades} river.

Two Chips and a Chair for Turmezey; Robin Departs

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Peter Turmezey
Peter Turmezey

Peter Turmezey more than doubled with {9-Spades}{7-Clubs} versus {a-Clubs}{3-Spades} when he was at risk for the last 10,000, as the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Spades} board delivered the required help.

Turmezey then prevailed once more before Pierrig Robin got it in with {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a short stack. Pierre Calamusa had a flip with {10-Spades}{9-Spades} and the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} board improved Calamusa.

Turmrzey was then at risk with {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} versus {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board kept the Hungarian in contention once more.
