Petrangelo and Eibinger Eliminated

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo was down to less than ten big blinds and managed to double up once, but it wouldn't last long as the rest of his chips eventually ended up in the stack next door which belonged to Marius Gierse.

A couple of hands later, Sam Greenwood raised from the cutoff and was called by Gierse on the button and Matthias Eibinger in the big blind. The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} and the action checked around to the {q-Spades} on the turn.

Eibinger checked again and Greenwood tossed in a bet of 12,000. Gierse called and Eibinger check-raised all in for 61,000. Greenwood called and Gierse got out of the way.

Eibinger tabled {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flopped straight and Greenwood held {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for two pair. The river was the {7-Diamonds} which improved Greenwood to a full house and Eibinger was also on his way out the door.

Dvoress Out-Flops Tsoukernik

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Leon Tsoukernik
Leon Tsoukernik

Daniel Dvoress opened to 9,000 from under the gun and Leon Tsoukernik three-bet to 30,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Dvoress who called to see a flop of {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Both players checked and the {5-Clubs} landed on the turn. Dvoress led out with a bet of 20,000 and Tsoukernik called. The {3-Hearts} completed the board and Dvoress moved all in. Tsoukernik had just over 40,000 chips left and threw them in the middle.

Dvoress flipped over {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of aces which out-flopped Tsoukernik's {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, sending him to the rail.

The river completed the board with the {9-Clubs} and Badziakouski continued with a bet of 15,000. Mateos took some time and then raised it up to 83,000. Badziakouski contemplated it for a bit but decided to let the hand go.

Level 8 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Seth Davies
Seth Davies

The action folded around to Mikita Badziakouski on the button who pushed out a stack of 25,000 chips. Laszlo Bujtas and Seth Davies were two short stacks in the blinds, Bujtas opting to fold with 69,000 chips behind. Davies, however, stuck in the last of his 84,000 chips and the cards were tabled.

Seth Davies: {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Mikita Badziakouski: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Davies was still in the lead with his ace-high but Badziakouski picked up a flush draw to go with his two live cards. The turn was the {4-Hearts} to give Badziakouski a flush and Davies was left drawing dead to the {2-Hearts} on the river.

Level 8 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jean Noel Thorel
Jean Noel Thorel

The flop read {4-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} when all the chips went in with Jean-Noel Thorel at risk from the big blind for the 150,000 or so he had in front of him against Kent Staahle in the under-the-gun position with the bigger stack.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Kent Staahle: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

They had both flopped top pair but Staahle was ahead with the ace-kicker.

The rest of the board was completed with the {3-Diamonds} on the turn and the {9-Spades} on the river for Staahle to know the €10,200 Mystery Bounty winner out for today. Thorel might be back tomorrow, Monday, May 2 as registration will be open until the start of Day 2.

Level 8 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Juan Pardo raised to 11,000 from under the gun and was called by Mikita Badziakouski on the button, Laszlo Bujtas in the small blind, and Matthias Eibinger in the big blind. The flop came {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Pardo continued with a bet of 10,000 which only Eibinger called.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Eibinger check-called another bet of 20,000 from Pardo. The {q-Spades} paired the board on the river and Eibinger checked again. After using a time bank, Pardo shoved all in but Eibinger instantly mucked his cards.
