David Salituro

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

Guillermo Gordo raised to 4,500 in middle position and received one caller before Eusebiu Jalba moved all in for 25,000 on the button. Gordo reshoved and the rest of the table got out of the way.

"Please have nines," Jalba said as they went to turn over their cards.

Eusebiu Jalba: Q♥10♥ All in
Guillermo Gordo: Q♣Q♠

Gordo didn't have two nines but instead showed Jalba the bad news with his queens. The board ran out 4♠9♦5♣4♥5♥ and Jalba was sent to the rail.

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

Heads-up on a flop of Q♦A♠8♦, Aaron Olechnowicz bet 5,000 from the hijack before Govert Metaal raised to 13,000 in the cutoff.

Olechnowicz called and the turn was the 5♥. Olechnowicz then led out for 33,000 and Metaal tanked for a minute before calling.

The river was the 10♥ and Olechnowicz moved all in. Metaal snap-called for around 70,000 and flipped over Q♠Q♣ for a set.

Olechnowicz, though, had K♣J♣ for a rivered straight and sent Metaal crashing to the rail.

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

Alexander Seibt and Mustapha Kanit went heads-up to the turn with the board showing Q♦2♦4♣K♠ when Seibt led out for 19,000 in the small blind. Kanit then moved all in for 67,000 on the button.

"I still have 20 bigs," Seibt said as he began talking through the hand to himself. He took several minutes as he continued to ponder the decision.

"I don't want to just cash. I want a million euros," Seibt eventually said as he slammed in the chips to call. Kanit then turned over Q♠Q♣ for a set.

"I have outs," Seibt said, showing A♦4♦ for a flush draw. The river was the 5♣ and Kanit held on to double up.

"Let me take a picture," Seibt told the dealer as he took out his phone. Kanit posed for him over the board.

"You played that hand so bad," Kanit joked with Seibt afterward.

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

Felix Schneiders opened to 5,500 from the button and Konstantyn Holskyi defended his big blind.

Holskyi check-called for 3,000 ln the A♥Q♠10♠ flop before the J♣ turn checked through to the 6♠ river.

Holskyi led out for 20,000, which immediately made Schneiders grimace and scratch his head.

"I hit a set on the turn," said Schneiders. "The problem is I don't have the J♠. You like putting people in tough spots."

In the end, Schneiders open-folded his J♥J♦ and Holskyi flashed his K♦Q♦, which was good for a straight, as he raked in the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Konstantyn Holskyi	330,000 160,000	160,000
