Danchev Essentially Doubles Through Volkmann

Level 7 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a battle small blind versus under the gun, Bruno Volkmann bet 14,000 on the {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Spades} turn and Dimitar Danchev called from two seats over. Volkmann checked the {k-Clubs} on the river and Danchev bet 43,500 with a single T-500 chip behind. The reluctant call by Volkmann followed and Danchev held the winning hand in {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for kings and jacks.

Baumann Beats Sammartino in Showdown

Level 7 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joining the action on the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, Gaelle Baumann in the big blind check-called a bet by Dario Sammartino in the cutoff. She then checked the {k-Clubs} on the turn and Sammartino bet another 18,000 for Baumann to call. Both opted to check the {4-Spades} on the river and Baumann revealed the {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for queen-high.

Sammartino had a dry smile on the face, double-checked his cards and sent them flying into the muck.

In the meanwhile, Alex Kulev has taken over the lead on the same table and approaches three times the starting stack.

Level 7 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With plenty of chips already in the middle and the turn showing {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, Jimmy Guerrero had checked from under the gun. Motoyoshi Okamura then tossed in two green T-25,000 chips on the button and Guerrero called all-in.

Jimmy Guerrero: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Motoyoshi Okamura: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Gahl Eliminated by Lyubovetskiy

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Three ways to the {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts} turn, Sebastian Gahl bet 5,500 out of the big blind. Andriy Lyubovetskiy raised to 15,000 from one seat over and Sam Greenwood folded on the button. Gahl moved all-in for what appeared to be just shy of 30,000 and Lyubovetskiy called.

Sebastian Gahl: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Andriy Lyubovetskiy: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The kicker played a crucial role as the {10-Clubs} river brought no help, sending Gahl to the rail.

Nemeth Eliminated From the Tournament

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Andras Nemeth has become the first player to bow out for the second time and that means he won't be allowed to enter anymore. The tournament only features a single re-entry option and Nemeth was ousted soon after returning for the second bullet.

On his former table, Bruno Volkmann now has nearly two times the starting stack at his disposal and appears to have scored the knockout. Koray Aldemir has been eliminated as well while Vicent Bosca Ramon re-entered in the last few minutes.
