Sebbah Doubles Veldhuis, Busts Immediately After

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Lex Veldhuis
Lex Veldhuis

Avner Sebbah had open-jammed from under the gun for 276,000. Lex Veldhuis was on the button and rejammed for only a little less; 253,000. The rest of the table folded and the pair were asked to show down their cards.

Lex Veldhuis: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Avner Sebbah: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Sebbah turned a gutshot straight draw on {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} but failed to hit it on the river {5-Diamonds}.

Veldhuis doubled up and Sebbah was left with only one big blind.

That big blind had to be put in mandatorily next hand as Sebbah was in the big blind. Sebbah kindly asked who wanted his bounty, but only one player wanted it badly enough to raise; Paul Tedeschi opened the action to 60,000 and the rest of the table folded.

Avner Sebbah: {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Paul Tedeschi: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

Sebbah had outs until the river on {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, but ultimately gave away his bounty token and said his goodbyes.

Bednar Can't Get Rid of Sandev

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Georgi Sandev
Georgi Sandev

Georgi Sandev raised to 40,000 under the gun and Zhong Chen flicked in his last 5,000 from the cutoff. Jan Bednar and Maxim Lykov came along from the blinds to create a bigger side pot.

The flop fell {j-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Sandev continued with a bet of 40,000. Bednar check-raised to 125,000 which got Lykov out of the hand, but Sandev called.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and Bednar sized up a bet of 190,000. Sandev still called and the {10-Hearts} completed the board. Bednar slid out a stack of 500,000, putting Sandev to the test for his remaining 362,000. After much deliberation and an incoming headache, Sandev dropped in a call.

Bednar turned over {6-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a missed straight draw while Sandev held {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to claim the massive side pot. Chen, meanwhile, was ecstatic to table his {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for top pair to win the main pot.

Danut Chisu
Danut Chisu

With the odds becoming increasingly better for the players to draw one of the top prizes, many took to the treasure chest during the last break of the night. After multiple €1,000 bounties were pulled, Danut Chisu finally broke the seal by unveiling one of the €75,000 bounties. He added that to a previous €20,000 and a €1,000 bounty to accumulate €96,000 in bounties thus far.

He was joined Aleksandar Tomovic who drew one of the €35,000 bounties and Boris Angelov who returned to pull a €20,000 bounty. Here is a look at the updated board:

Zhong Chen
Zhong Chen

Xia Wang opened to 50,000 from early position and was called by Georgi Sandev from the button. Zhong Chen was forced all in from the big blind with his last 25,000.

Wang check-folded to a bet of 30,000 on the {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop. Sandev and Chen then tabled their cards.

Zhong Chen: {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Georgi Sandev: {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Chen was ahead with his pair of sevens but the {j-Clubs} turn gave Sandev the best hand. The {4-Spades} river completed the board and Chen departed the tournament room.
