Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ezequiel Waigel
Ezequiel Waigel

Ezequiel Waigel opened to 30,000 first-to-act and was called by Stephen Song in the big blind.

Song check-called an 18,000 bet from Waigel on the A♣3♣5♣ flop and then both players checked on the 4♠ turn.

Song checked again when the 10♣ completed the board and Waigel bet 105,000, which was nearly enough to put Song all in.

Song used up a time extension pondering his decision but eventually decided to lay his hand down.

"It would have been an ambitious call," Song said as Waigel collected the pot.

"I don't like that," commented Lebor.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Carl Shaw opened to 35,000 on the button and found one caller in Adrian State in the big blind.

State check-called a 25,000 bet from Shaw on the 7♣J♣A♠ flop and then both players checked on the 5♥ turn.

The 10♠ completed the board and State put a modest 30,000 into the middle. Shaw wanted no part of it and let his hand go — awarding State with a few more chips.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In the cutoff, Lukas Peleckis moved all in for 122,000 chips. The button and the small blind folded, but Daniel Smiljkovic in the big blind called.

Lukas Peleckis: 2♣2♥
Daniel Smiljkovic: A♠9♣

Peleckis' deuces held on the flop 7♥5♠5♥ and the turn 5♣. But the A♦ landed on the river to give a full house to Smiljkovic, and eliminate Peleckis in 86th place for €20,550.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds and Gustavo Oliveira shoved from the small blind to put Alessio Di Cesare in for his last 34,000. Cesare called and hands were revealed.

Alessio Di Cesare: A♣3♣
Gustavo Oliveira: 9♣4♦

Cesare would need to fade two live cards to avoid elimination, and he did just that on the 7♠8♥J♠A♦9♥ — leaving him best with a pair of aces for the double up.

Vlantouts Kourka moved all in, but nobody called him. A few hands later, he was in the big blind when Mihai Niste under the gun opened to 25,000. Gustavo Oliveira on the button called, and Kourka did as well.

On the flop 9♥J♦8♦, Kourka checked. Niste decided to check too, but not Oliveira who bet 25,000. Next to act, Kourka opted for a check-raise all in for 180,000 chips. Niste and Oliveira quickly folded.
