Fujita Felted by Schmidt

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gaku Fujita in the small blind check-called two barrels by Fabian Schmidt on the {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop and the {2-Hearts} turn. That left the Japanese with around 50,000 behind to the {4-Spades} river on which he checked again. Schmidt now jammed with the covering stack and Fujita took his five to ten seconds for the call.

Schmidt revealed the {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Fujita's {q-Spades}{10-Spades} were no good.

One hand later, Ramin Hajiyev jammed from under the gun and Gorki Oliveira "limped" the small blind as he didn't see the shove on the other side of the table. The floor was called and Oliveira was explained that his 2,000 were in the pot and he could fold or call.

The Brazilian folded and Hajiyev flashed the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. "I had five six sited," Oliveira replied.

D'Anselmo Sent Packing by Patakis

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Italy's Nicola D'Anselmo opted to open shove for 65,000 from an early position and Konstantinos Patakis did so from two seats over, while the rest of the table folded.

Nicola D'Anselmo: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Konstantinis Patakis: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop left D'Anselmo on the ropes and he was gone after the {k-Spades} turn and {9-Clubs} river brought no miracle escape.

Salgado Sent Home by Lucarini

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Alexis Lucarini
Alexis Lucarini

Joao Salgado three-bet with a shorter stack out of the blinds and then called all-in for what appeared to be around 45,000 following a four-bet shove of initial raiser Alexis Lucarini.

Joao Salgado: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Alexis Lucarini: {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop kept Salgado in the lead but Lucarini hit the {q-Spades} on the turn. Down to just two outs, Salgado bricked the {9-Diamonds} river and left the tournament area with visible frustration.
