Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Konstantyn Holskyi had vaulted out of his chair once again and filmed the showdown, as he was at risk along with Ian Bradley. Both were up against Seonguk Huh, who had the worst of it when the cards were revealed.

Ian Bradley: J♠J♥
Seonguk Huh: 6♦6♠

Ribaes Folds to Miscikowski's Pressure

Dan O'Hair

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Bastos Ribaes opened to 4,500 from the hijack and was three-bet to 12,000 by David Miscikowski from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Ribaes, who called.

Ribaes check-called a 6,500 bet from Miscikowski on the Q♥J♠10♣ flop and both players checked on the 7♣ turn.

The 9♥ completed the board and Ribaes led out for 20,000. Miscikowski announced he was all in for approximately 50,000 total and Ribaes went deep into the tank.

"Good fold," Miscikowski said as Ribaes contemplated his decision.

Ribaes eventually flicked his hand into the muck and Miscikowski collected the pot.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mohamed Djezzar was all-in for a shorter stack and awaited his fate as Felix Schneiders had jammed right in front of him. William Hani as the preflop three-bettor was in the tank and then called, as Schneiders' camera crew came closer to film the showdown.

Mohamed Djezzar: J♦J♠
Felix Schneiders: Q♦Q♥
William Hani: Q♠Q♣

The two bigger stacks chopped up the chips of Djezzar on a board of K♥8♦8♠2♠A♣ and then bumped fists after.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Youri Hazanov was all-in for 23,500 before the flop and his A♣Q♣ had the best of it against the A♠J♦ of Taehyun Hwang. The big stack paired his kicker but Hazanov made broadway on the K♦10♦7♠J♠8♦ runout.

"Wow, this is the first hand you lose today," another player joked to Hwang.

Gut Runs Very Good

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Marc Uzan was all-in for the last 4,000 and Maciej Gut three-bet from one seat over in the hijack. Arthur Conan then four-bet to 21,500 in the cutoff to force out everyone behind, Gut called.

On the A♣Q♠10♠ flop, Gut check-raised from 8,000 to 20,000 and called all-in when Conan pushed all-in.

Marc Uzan: A♦3♠
Maciej Gut: K♠J♠
Arthur Conan: A♥Q♥

Gut had flopped the best of it and held up on the 5♣ turn, he then hit the 9♠ river for a straight flush as the cherry on top. Both stacks of Gut and Conan were counted with the former doubling or 69,500, leaving Conan on a mere 1,000.

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Dominik Nitsche limped from early position and Yuto Suzuki called from the small blind. Henning Andre announced he was all in for 28,500 from the big blind and Nitsche called after getting a count. Suzuki folded and hands were revealed.

Henning Andre: 10♦10♥
Dominik Nitsche: 9♣9♦

Andre had Nitsche's pair pipped, and the Q♥6♣K♥3♦K♦ runout kept Andre ahead for the double-up.

Danselmo Flips Mellanen Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nicola Danselmo shoved for his lset 23,000 from early position and just behind him, Kasper Mellanen shoved for slightly less. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Kasper Mellanen: A♠K♣
Nicola Danselmo: 8♥8♣

It was coin flip, but the 8♦6♣6♥ flop left Mellanen drawing to runner-runner.

The 9♥ turn sealed the deal, and a meaningless 6♦ river completed the board — eliminating Mellanen from the tournament.
