Humphreys Coolers Ercan

Kai Cocklin

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mustafa Ercan had his stack of just over 60,000 already in the middle on a board of A♣8♦A♠K♠4♥, but wouldn't have liked seeing the overcards as he held Q♥Q♦. His opponent, Patrick Humphreys, also had his stack committed to the pot and earned himself the pot as his K♥K♦ improved to a full house, eliminating Ercan.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Lyudmil Ivanov opened to 5,000 under the gun, and was called by Sebastian Malec in the cutoff. Anton Markov was in the small blind, and he three-bet jammed for 17,500.

Ivanov got out of the way, but Malec made the call.

Anton Markov: A♣10♣ All in
Sebastian Malec: 5♥5♦

Malec was ahead in a race, and he hit bottom set on the K♣Q♠5♠ flop.

Markov was drawing to a straight or backdoor clubs, but neither arrived on the 9♥7♠ turn and river.

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

Patrick Clarke raised to 4,000 from under the gun, Silvio De Petrillo called, Monika Zukowicz called on the button and Iurii Saiapin called in the small blind.

The flop came 4♦5♦2♦ and action checked to De Petrillo, who made it 2,500 to go. Zukowicz called and so did Saiapin.

The turn was the 9♣ and this time, play checked to Zukowicz, who fired out a bet of 10,000, which only Saiapin called.

The river came the J♦ and Saiapin led out for 10,000. Zukowicz moved all in for around 30,000 and Saiapin quickly called. Zukowicz showed K♦7♦ for a flopped flush, but Saiapin had A♦8♣ for a higher flush that he'd completed on the river.

Saiapin chipped up to around 170,000 and Zukowicz was eliminated.

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

Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Ivan Banic all-in and at risk versus Dogan Dinler.

Ivan Banic: 10♥8♥ All in
Dogan Dinler: A♣7♣

Banic needed some help, and the J♣8♣6♦ flop had something for everyone, Banic going ahead with a pair of eights, but Dinler still holding plenty of outs with his flush draw and overcard.

The A♥ rolled off on the turn to put Dinler in front, and the 2♦ river was a brick, confirming Banic's exit.

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

Sergi Reixach opened to 3,000 and was called by Barny Boatman, before Manuel Fritz three-bet jammed for 24,500. Reixach got out of the way, but, after some thought, Boatman shrugged his shoulders and made the call with the covering stack.

Manuel Fritz: K♥K♣ All in
Barny Boatman: A♣10♣

Boatman seemed in trouble versus Fritz's pocket kings, but the ace was in the window on the A♠8♥2♣ flop, and Fritz could not find a king on the 9♣6♠ turn and river.

Barny Boatman	120,000 98,000	98,000

Iakovleva had already stood up to leave as the board ran out 5♦5♠8♣6♠Q♦. Verschueren held with his pocket kings to win the pot, sending both Maiorano and Iakovleva to the rail.

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

Jesse Spatuzzi opened to 3,000 from the button, and was faced with a three-bet jam from Daniel Lakerveld in the big blind, who had the covering stack. Spatuzzi quickly got his 30,000 stack in the middle.

Jesse Spatuzzi: A♥Q♥ All in
Daniel Lakerveld: 3♠3♥

Spatuzzi was behind in a race, and was in further trouble after the K♥Q♦3♦ flop gave Lakerveld bottom set.

The K♣ turn brought Spatuzzi some hope, but the 5♥ river was a brick, sending Lakerveld the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Roman Shcherbakov raised to 2,700 from under the gun and Antoine Hasbani moved all in from the small blind for 35,000. Shcherbakov made the call with the covering stack and players flipped their cards.

Antoine Hasbani: A♦J♦ All in
Roman Shcherbakov: A♣K♦

Both players paired on the flop on a board of Q♠J♠K♣8♥4♦ and Shcherbakov had the higher pair with his kings. He won the pot to near-double his stack and Hasbani was sent to the exit.

Dan O'Hair

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tansel Turgut opened to 2,500 on the button and just behind him, Siarhei Chudapal shoved for approximately 10,000 from the small blind. Yanko Krushkov went all in for more from the big blind and Turgut folded.

Siarhei Chudapal: A♥9♠ All in
Yanko Krushkov: 10♠10♥

The 6♥5♠9♣Q♦10♣ runout kept Krushkov ahead with a set of tens and Chudapal was eliminated.
