Wiciak Nearly Doubles Through Dimitrov

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Simon Wiciak
Simon Wiciak

Simon Wiciak and Stefan Dimitrov were heads up on a 1062 flop. Wiciak checked from the big blind and Dimitrov bet 1,800 on the button. Wiciak then check-raised to 6,000 and Dimitrov called.

Wiciak opted to check on the 7 turn and Dimitrov seized the initiative with a 4,500 bet. Wiciak again check-raised, this time to 12,000, and Dimitrov called after a bit of thought.

The 10 completed the board and Wiciak fired 19,400 into the middle, leaving himself just 1,000 behind. Dimitrov decided to look Wiciak up and he tabled 106 for a full house.

Dimitrov couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding Wiciak the near double up.

Meier Forces Yucel Out

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There were already around 30,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 5Q6 when Yucel Yucel and Robin Meier both put in 11,000.

The turn brought a 7 and after Yucel checked, Meier shoved. Yucel had around 35,000 behind and needed to risk them all if he wanted to see a river card, but eventually he elected to fold, and Meier was pushed the pot.

Heidel Runs Into Aces

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Following an open raise from late position, Oliver Heidel was all in preflop from the small blind against Ibrahim Gedikoglu in the big blind. The original raiser folded and Heidel was the player at risk against Gedikoglu as players flipped their cards.

Oliver Heidel: AQ All in
Ibrahim Gedikoglu: AA

Heidel was in bad shape and found no help as the board ran out 78K82. Gedikoglu held with his pocket aces and Heidel was eliminated.

Gadzhiev Straightens Rashidi Out

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Abdulgamid Gadzhiev opened to 2,200 first to act and Manesh Rashidi shoved for his last 3,500 from the small blind. Alexander Graf called cold from the big blind and Gadzhiev called as well.

Graf check-called a 3,700 bet from Gadzhiev on the 10Q3 flop, but check-folded facing an 8,000 barrel from Gadzhiev on the A turn.

Manesh Rashidi: AKAll in
Abdulgamid Gadzhiev: KJ

Rashidi was drawing to a chop against Gadzhiev's made straight, but the 2 bricked out and Gadzhiev collected the rest of Rashidi's chips.

Betbese on the Right Side of a Cooler

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Nicolas Betbese
Nicolas Betbese

Nicolas Betbese was seen dragging in a healthy-sized pot which brought his stack up to around 130,000 and eliminated Gonzalo Almeida.

The full board of 35562 was showing and Almeida's AxKx was no good against Betbese's AA, in a pot that most likely got all-in preflop.

Virlanuta Wins Pot With Higher Set

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Marian Virlanuta had already moved all in with a short stack on the flop and had two callers as action went to the turn on a board of Q328.

Dauren Zhaparov checked and Aleksandr Lakhov bet 50,000. Zhaparov check-raised all in for not much more and Lakhov flicked in a chip to call.

Lakhov had 22 for a set of deuces, Virlanuta had 88 for a set of eights and Zhaparov mucked his hand.

The river came the 5 and Virlanuta won the pot to triple up, bringing his chip count back above starting stack. Lakhov won the side pot, while Zhaparov was eliminated.
