Mazza, Mitsui, and Talbot Eliminated on the Bubble

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

Sylvain Mazza shoved 35,000 in early position and only Abderrashman Habhab called in the hijack.

Sylvain Mazza: AK
Abderrashman Habhab: QQ

It was the classic race but Mazza couldn't connect as the board ran out J10943, eliminating him on the stone bubble.

One table over, Yota Mitsui had jammed the button for the last 145,000 and he was called by Fabian Bartuschk in the big blind.

Yota Mitsui: A10
Fabian Bartuschk: AK

The kicker played on the 972AQ runout for Mitsui to also bust.

That left another two all-in and call to run and one of them included PokerStars ambassador Parker Talbot, who was involved in a preflop raising war in which he was the player at risk for around 215,000 against Marcelo Manfredini.

Parker Talbot: QQ
Marcelo Manfredini: AA

There was no escape for Talbot on the J63KA runout as Manfredini further improved to a set of aces. Since players need to physically bag up chips upon completion of their Day 1, Talbot also missed out on the min-cash as well.

Glaser Eliminated Near Bubble

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

Benny Glaser raised to 16,000 in early position, leaving just 1,000 behind. The action folded around to Taran Parmar in the small blind who made the call, followed by Antony Lellouche in the big blind.

The Q55 flop was checked through to see the 8 turn. Parmar checked once more, but Lellouche fired 17,000. Glaser called off his last 1,000 chip, and Parmar mucked his hand.

Benny Glaser: AK
Antony Lellouche: K8

Lellouche turned his eight, and Glaser couldn't catch an ace as the 7 rolled off on the river, eliminating him only a couple of spots from the money.

Oberhauser Eliminated Before the Money

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

Valentin Oberhauser jammed a shorter stack and was called by Enis Rouissi from two seats over in the second hand on the money bubble.

Valentin Oberhauser: AK
Enis Rouissi: JJ

The most classic of flips went to Rouissi on a board of 75344 and that reduced the field to the last 168 contenders.

Gorelik Off to the Turbo Heat

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

Albert Gorelik open-jammed for the last 44,000 and was called only by Jonathan Swerdlow.

"Do you have king-queen suited?" Gorelik asked and then rolled over his A9. Swerdlow had the superior AQ and left Gorelik in dire shape until the KJ210 turn.

"Give him the queen!" Gorelik exclaimed but the lucky chop never came, with the 10 river pairing the board.

"Good luck in the turbo heat," Isaac Borghouts joked.

Hallaert Gets a Huge Pot; Pasquale Downs Vladimirov

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

Kenny Haellaert opened to 13,000 from under the gun and called when Thomas Saminadin three-bet to 28,000 from two seats over. Hallaert called.

Hallaert check-called bets of 16,000 and 43,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read J8K42. Hallaert, the slightly bigger stack, checked once more and quickly called when Saminadin jammed for around 200,000,

Saminadin could only show a pair of eights with his 87 and Hallaert had the winner with a set of fours as he tabled 44.

The hand after, Denis Vladimirov was all in and at risk to Pasquale Grimaldi. Vladimirov had pocket queens but ran into aces and was eliminated after failing to find his two-outer.

Karadaglis Out Before the Money

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

Only around 170 players remain and Stylianos Karadaglis is no longer among them. After playing the hand carefully preflop, he got it in after the J107K turn with the AK and Yaroslav Shkliar looked him up with the J10 for two pair.

The river was the 5 and that spelled the end for Karadaglis.

Hafner Sends Gal Out

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

Lukas Hafner opened 16,000 in early position, and Julien Gal pushed the rest of his 28,000 across the line from the big blind. Hafner called.

Julien Gal: KQ
Lukas Hafner: 33

It was a coin flip as the board ran out JJJ109, giving Gal a straight, but Hafner took it down with a full house.

Pitzanti Makes Boat to Bust Tavlas

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

Athanasios Tavlas open shoved from middle position for 50,000 and Sandro Pitzanti moved all in from the next seat across with the bigger stacks. Players flipped their cards.

Athanasios Tavlas: J8
Sandro Pitzanti: 88

The board ran out 38622. The only remaining eight in the deck came on the flop, giving Tavlas a pair of eights and Pitzanti a set of eights. The turn brought Tavlas hope in the form of a flush draw and Pitzanti took a deep breathe before the river improved him to a full house.

Pitzanti won the pot and Tavlas was eliminated close to the bubble.

Double Knockout Boosts Dimitrov; Bubble Approaching Rapidly

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

Only around 185 players remain and the latest all-in showdown reduced the field by two hopefuls in the following contest.

Fabien Jacqueline: J10
Tamer Kamel: AJ
Stefan Dimitrov: AQ

Dimitrov had the biggest stack and best hand against two opponents. The Q42 cemented his lead while he 3 turn gave Tamer Kamel some chop outs. Nothing changed with the 10 river and Dimitrov claimed the entire pot to move up to nearly half a million in chips.

It appears that this is not the lead, however, as Lukas Hafner has even more chips.

Tous Rosich Gunning for a Big Stack

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

On a board of A75Q7 with 114,000 in the middle, David Tous Rosich bet 100,000. Espen Nikolaisen went into the tank and folded.

Shortly after, Finn Zwad pushed for 52,000 and Tous Rosich looked him up.

Finn Zwad: 99
David Tous Rosich: QQ

The board ran out A8682 and Zwad will have to jump into the final turbo heat.

"Write it down, he should be out and now he is playing like crazy," Bernard Mendy joked.
