Erwin Wiechers
Erwin Wiechers

Erwin Wiechers was all-in for his short stack, and had been put at risk by Peng Chen, who had the best starting hand in all of Hold'em!

Erwin Wiechers: J10 All in
Peng Chen: AA

Wiechers had the type of hand needed to crack aces, but on this occasion it didn't provide any sweat as the runout of K5K3K gave Chen a full house.

Tataranno Finishes Faterin

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action folded to Aleksandr Faterin on the button, who jammed for 60,000, with Domenico Tataranno looking him up in the big blind.

Aleksandr Faterin: 66 All in
Domenico Tataranno: K10

Faterin was ahead in a race, but Tataranno could barely have asked for a better flop without hitting the front, as it came J98, giving him a flush draw and up and down straight draw.

Sure enough, the Q rolled off on the turn to give Tataranno the king-high straight, leaving Faterin drawing dead. The A completed the board.

Grzegorz Kozieja
Grzegorz Kozieja

Grzegorz Kozieja raised to 100,000 in the hijack, leaving only 20,000 behind. Andrey Daniliuk called in the big blind, after which he put Kozieja all-in on the 695 flop.

One elimination away from a pay jump, Kozieja waited with calling until the clock was called and the end of his countdown was reached.

Grzegorz Kozieja: K7 All in
Andrey Daniliuk: A8

The 7 turn gave Daniliuk a straight and the 6 river did not bring a chop, sending Kozieja to the rail as the last person to receive $2,900.

Controversy at Table 2 Leads to Carnage in Successive Hands

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Frank Reichel
Frank Reichel

Absolute bedlam ensued here at Table 2 in successive hands.

Hassan Nashar opened to 25,000 from early position and faced a three-bet jam from Frank Reichel to 207,000. As Reichel announced he was all in and before anyone else behind him had acted, Nashar said, "All in."

The floor was called and Nashar stated he was just repeating what Reichel had said and it wasn't intended to be a declaration of his intentions as to his action. It was ruled that the declaration would stand if the action was not changed.

Nashar was playing around 700,000. Andre Marquardt was next to act after Reichel, and he called Reichel's all-in. He did not change the action, so Nashar's declaration was ruled to be binding.

Marquardt was initially confused by this ruling after making the call, but ultimately he called off for the rest of his stack versus Nashar, who had him covered.

With a crowd gathering due to the commotion, a bizarre three-way all-in scenario had been created, and no one seemed particularly happy about it.

Frank Reichel: AK All in
Andre Marquardt: AQ All in
Hassan Nashar: 86

Reichel was ahead and his triple-up was confirmed by the J549K runout, giving Reichel a pair of kings. Marquardt was consoled with winning the side pot against Nashar for his remaining 394,000 stack.

Nashar was fuming and before the dealer had even shuffled the deck for the next hand, he announced he was all in and shoved his last 149,000 into the middle. The dealer had to call the floor again, and Nashar told the dealer, "Call the floor, I can do what the f*ck I want."

The cards were dealt after Nashar's verbal declaration of all in was ruled to stand.

With 149,000 in the middle blind, the other players smelled blood. Santiago Nadal was next to act after Nashar, and he moved all in for 220,000. Action folded to Reichel, who moved all in with the covering stack, to create another three-way all-in scenario.

Hassan Nashar: Q10 All in
Santiago Nadal: A8 All in
Frank Reichel: AA

Reichel had woken up with rockets and must have thought he was in dreamland. Although Nashar flopped top pair on the Q62 flop, the 42 turn and river were bricks, and Reichel scooped another big pot.

Nashar exited the tournament area still raging and the other players sat silently, stunned by what had just transpired, while Reichel more than quadrupled his stack in successive hands.

Mavrikious Falls To Fonseca

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Andreas Mavrikiou moved all in from the cutoff for 46,000. Pedro Pereira Fonseca moved all in from the hijack for 78,000. Action folded around and the players showed down.

Andreas Mavrikiou: A10All in
Pedro Pereira Fonseca: AQ

Fonseca had Mavrikiou drawing slim on the 8QA flop and drawing dead on the 2 turn. The K river confirmed his exit from the tournament.

Yiannis Liperis: AQ All in
Vytautas Milbutas: AK

The board ran out uneventfully with 29J5K emerging from the deck. Milbutas made top pair on the river to send Liperis to the payout desk.
