David Salituro

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

The field once again combined to one table after the elimination of Robbie Toan.

Niklas Astedt then raised to 5,000 on the button and Paulius Plausinaitis and Tamas Adamszki called in the blinds.

David Salituro

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

Action folded to table newcomer Bruno Volkmann who raised to 8,000 in the small blind. Tamas Adamszki then moved all in for 62,000 in the big blind and Volkmann called.

Tamas Adamszki: 5♠5♦
Bruno Volkmann: 7♥7♦

Adamszki was behind heading to the flop, which came K♣5♥2♣ to give him a set. The board ran out J♣9♣ and he doubled up yet again.

Adamszki Holds to Double

Calum Grant

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

Tamas Adamszki was all in for 27,000 from the cutoff and was at risk to Niklas Astedt, who had called from the small blind.

Adamszki tabled his Q♥Q♦ and was up against 10♦10♣. The 5♠4♥2♥J♣K♠ runout was drama free and yesterday's €10K champ doubled up.

Toma Has "No Fear" Against Toan

David Salituro

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

Heads-up on a flop of 4♥6♣6♦, Tsugunari Toma bet 15,000 from the small blind, Robbie Toan raised to 35,000 under the gun, and Toma reraised to 56,000.

Toan called and they both checked the A♣ turn. The river was the 3♠ and Toma bet 30,000. Toan tanked for a minute before calling as Toma showed K♦K♥.

"You would've got it all. I had sevens," Toan said as he mucked.

"No fear," tablemate Niklas Astedt said.
