Patrick Cole

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ahmed Ibrahimi opened to 10,000 from middle position. Alexandru Anuta called on the button and David Djian completed in the small blind. Lorenzo Angeletti then put in his last 6,000 in the big blind.

The 8♠7♠3♥ flop was checked around before Dijan moved all in on the 4♦ turn. Ibrahimi and Anuta folded.

Lorenzo Angeletti: K♠4♠ All in
David Dijan: 4♥3♠

The river came the 10♣ river and Angeletti was eliminated.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Denis Zelenkin opened the cutoff to 10,000 and Alessandro Siena three-bet the small blind to 33,000. Mathias Moutaoukil was in the big blind and after around a minute, he shoved for around 370,000. Zelenkin quickly folded, and Siena snap-called for his stack of 252,000.

Alessandro Siena: A♥A♦ All in
Mathias Moutaoukil: 10♠10♣

Siena had a great opportunity to land an early double-up and kept his lead after the Q♥J♦4♥ flop. An 8♠ on the turn did give Moutaoukil a few extra outs with a gutshot, but the 2♠ river was a brick, which meant Siena doubled up.

Day 2 chip leader Marian Virlanuta opened to 18,000 from the cutoff. Action folded to Marcin Dziubdziela in the big blind, who only had 19,000 behind. He took a peek at his cards, thought for a moment, and tossed his remaining chips into the middle.

Marcin Dziubdziela: 10♦9♠ All in
Marian Virlanuta: K♦3♦

Dziubdziela needed some help from the board, but none arrived on the A♦7♠3♣2♦Q♥ runout, Virlanuta's pair of threes taking the pot.

A massive pot of 123,000 had been brewed between Denis Vlasov in the small blind and David Tous in the big blind. Vlasov then checked on the 5♠9♣3♦ flop, after which Tous tossed in a bet of 38,000.

Vlasov put his stack of 250,000 or so in the middle, covering Tous. Tous snap-folded as the big pot was sent to Vlasov.

Atanas Pavlov opened to 13,000 from middle position. Bruno Sanzoni called on the button and Danut Chisu defended the big blind.

The 2♥9♣8♥ flop was checked to Sanzoni who bet 20,000. Chisu and Pavlov called. The 3♠ turn was checked to Sanzoni again before he wagered 50,000. Chisu called and Pavlov folded.

Chisu checked once more on the K♦ river. Sanzoni then bet 70,000, leaving 4,000 behind. Chisu tanked for around a minute before folding.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tomasz Wisniewski opened the cutoff to 12,000 and Dumitru Pora three-bet from the small blind to 40,000. Wisniewski then four-bet to 82,000, leaving himself just 2,000 behind.

"I'll wait 30 seconds before I go all in," said Pora in an attempt to help Wisniewski make a pay jump. Pora then shoved, then almost immediately the clock was called on Wisniewski and a 30-second countdown was initiated. When the countdown got to 2 seconds remaining, Wisniewski called.

Tomasz Wisniewski: A♣K♣ All in
Dumitru Pora: 10♦10♣

Wisniewski couldn't find any piece on the 9♠8♣7♦2♠10♥ runout, which meant he was eliminated — without making a pay jump — as Pora improved to a set.

Dumitru Pora	500,000 117,000	117,000
