Volkmann Has a Short Stay

David Salituro

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

Shortly after doubling up Tamas Adamszki, Bruno Volkmann moved all in for 27,000 from the cutoff, Tsugunari Toma reshoved in the small blind, and Niklas Astedt gave up his big blind.

Bruno Volkmann: A♣8♣
Tsugunari Toma: 4♣4♥

The board ran out Q♥10♥9♣7♠Q♦ and Toma's fours stayed in the lead to send Volkmann to an early exit.

"That was fast," Volkmann said.

Plausinaitis Downs Kashiwabara

Calum Grant

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

Masato Kashiwabara was first to act and moved all in for 31,500. Action folded to Paulius Plausinaitis in the big blind and he called after peeking at his cards.

Masato Kashiwabara: Q♠J♥
Paulius Plausinaitis: A♠8♠

Kashiwabara was behind and had fewer outs after the K♠2♠5♣ flop. The A♣ turn left him drawing to Broadway, but the 7♥ river confirmed his departure instead.

Paulius Plausinaitis	175,000 45,000	45,000

Toan Takes Out Dimov

David Salituro

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

Robbie Toan raised to 4,000 under the gun, then called when Ognyan Dimov moved all in for 40,000 on the button.

Ognyan Dimov: A♦8♦
Robbie Toan: 10♠10♥

Dimov was looking for an ace to stay alive but couldn't find any help on the 6♦6♥5♠2♠3♠ board as he was sent to the rail.

A few hands earlier, Toan and Tsugunari Toma tangled in a big pot that saw Toma bet 10,000 on a flop of 9♦J♠Q♠. Toan called on the button and the turn was the 5♥.

Toma checked to Toan who bet 17,000. Toma then moved all in and Toan, with around 140,000 remaining, folded.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tsugunari Toma	230,000 15,000	15,000
Robbie Toan	180,000 25,000	25,000
Ognyan Dimov	Busted

Toma Hits the Turn to Bust Danchev

David Salituro

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Dimitar Danchev moved all in for around 30,000 from the button and Tsugunari Toma called in the big blind.

Dimitar Danchev: A♥K♥
Tsugunari Toma: A♠3♣

Danchev had Toma dominated and went further in the lead on the 8♥8♦6♥ flop, picking up the nut flush draw. The turn was the 3♦ and Toma hit two pair to pull in front.

Danchev missed the Q♦ river and became the first player sent to the rail.
