Werner Spikes Broadway to Bust Nylander

Dan O'Hair

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Mats Nylander was already all in and at risk for approximately 30,000 on the button against Andreas Werner, who was in early position.

Mats Nylander: A♦Q♠
Andreas Werner: A♣J♣

Nylander had Werner dominated and looked poised to double after the K♣Q♥4♥ flop.

Marjanovic Barrels Off His Stack

Patrick Cole

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Cesar Garcia opened the button to 3,500 which was reraised to 10,350 by Adem Marjanovic in the small blind.

Marjanovic fired the flop of 9♣2♣9♥ for 12,000 which Garcia called.

The turn brought the 4♠ and Marjanovic fired a second barrel of 31,000 and Garcia quickly called the bet.

Marjanovic jammed all in for around 30,000, putting himself at risk.

Garcia snap called the bet and tabled the 7♦9♦ for trip nines and Marjanovic tabled K♦J♦ for a king-high triple barrel bluff.

Garp Picks Off Im

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Around 50,000 was already in the middle as Tobias Garp and Youngshin Im went to the river on a board of 7♠3♦10♥3♥7♥. Garp, in the big blind, then bet 12,500.

Im moved all in for 42,000 in the cutoff and Garp tanked for more than a minute before calling. Im showed 10♦9♦ for two pair, but Garp had A♥2♥ for a flush to send her to the rail.

"I didn't think there was any ten-x for value," Garp said.

"That wasn't value. It was a bluff," tablemate Thomas Eychenne added.

Hand Runs Into Stancer's Boat

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Daniel Stancer raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and David Docherty called on the button. Fintan Hand then moved all in for 25,500 in the small blind and Stancer called, while Docherty got out of the way.

Fintan Hand: K♥Q♣
Daniel Stancer: 9♣9♥

The 2♥9♠2♠ flop was a disaster for Hand as Stancer made a full house. The PokerStars Team Pro was already up from his seat by the time the board ran out 6♦A♠ to seal his exit from the tournament.

Kesanen Busts Baran-Osinski

Dan O'Hair

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jan-Mikael Kesanen opened to 3,000 first-to-act and was called by Pasquale Di Ceglie in the cutoff and Hubert Baran-Osinski in the big blind.

Kesanen continued for 3,000 on the Q♦6♦7♣ flop and Di Ceglie called. Baran-Osinski then squeezed to 14,500 and Kesanen shoved for a bit under 70,000. Di Ceglie got out of the way and Baran-Osinski called all in for less.

Hubert Baran-Osinski: A♦Q♥
Jan-Mikael Kesanen: K♦7♦

Baran-Osinski held the lead with his pair of queens but would need to fade a lot of outs against Kesanen's pair and flush draws.

The K♠ turn vaulted Kesanen into the lead with two pair and the 2♥ river changed nothing — eliminating Baran-Osinski from the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jan-Mikael Kesanen	135,000 38,500	38,500
Pasquale Di Ceglie	100,000 -1,500	-1,500

Varszegi Doesn't Make It to Break

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The other tables were already headed off on break as Tamas Varszegi, Frederik Thiemer, and Eero Rantala went to a flop of 6♣A♥3♥.

Varszegi bet 5,000 from the big blind before Rantala raised to 11,000 in middle position. Thiemer called in the hijack before Varszegi moved all in for 30,000.

Rantala folded, but Thiemer tanked for a moment before calling.

Tamas Varszegi: Q♥10♥
Frederik Thiemer: A♣J♠

Thiemer was ahead with his pair of aces, while Varszegi had a flush draw. The board ran out 8♦9♦ and Varszegi missed his draw to ensure he won't be coming back from the break.
