Joyce Continues to Climb

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Philip Joyce raised from under the gun and just behind him, Davide Brancale three-bet to 25,000. Action folded back around to Joyce, who made it 47,500 to go. Brancale called.

The flop came 74J and Joyce put 15,000 into the middle. It was enough to get a fold from Brancale and Joyce added to his stack.

Polek Gets Back on Track, Busts Guibon

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alexandre Guibon was seen walking away from his table and his stack of around 50,000 was being pushed in Adam Polek's direction, with the chips in the middle preflop.

Alexandre Guibon: KQ All in
Adam Polek: AA

Guibon had run into the aces and did pick up some outs on the turn, but couldn't get there on the 57JQ3 runout.

Jablonski Takes From Pidhrusnyi

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Bartosz Jablonski opened to 8,000 from the hijack and found one caller in Vasyl Pidhrusnyi in the small blind.

Pidhrusnyi checked to Jablonski, who continued for 7,000 on the 2KK flop. Pidhrusnyi then raised to 22,000 and Jablonski called.

Both players checked on the 3 turn and Pidhrusnyi checked a final time on the Q river.

Jablonski fired 33,000 into the middle and Pidhrusnyi sent his hand into the muck after a bit of thought.

Pidhrusnyi Forces Out Romanets

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With around 35,000 chips in the pot on a board of 9KJ5, Oleksandr Romanets bet 12,000 from the small blind, and Vasyl Pidhrusnyi called from the cutoff.

An 8 came on the river and Romanets checked, then Pidhrusnyi shoved. Romanets had around 40,000 remaining in his stack and after thinking it over, he elected to fold.

Rudau Doubles Through Dufhaus

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lars Sommer opened to 11,000 from middle position and Christoph Dufhaus shoved for over 100,000 from the cutoff. Just behind him, Patrick Rudau called all in for his last 43,500 on the button. Everyone else folded, including Sommer, and a showdown was held.

Patrick Rudau: KKAll in
Christoph Dufhaus: 99

The 4JK5Q runout needlessly improved Rudau to a set and he scored the double up through Dufhaus.

Mikulas Rivers a Full House; Estrada Collects the Last of Spragg's Chips

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Benjamin Spragg
Benjamin Spragg

There were already around 25,000 chips in the middle on a board of K96K when Samy Hazan led out for 10,500 from the small blind, Luca Moschitta folded from the cutoff, and Filip Mikulas called on the button.

A 3 dropped on the river and Hazan shoved with a covering stack, and Mikulas snap-called for his stack of 71,500.

Hazan showed trips with KQ, but Mikulas had improved to a full house on the river with 33 to double up, much to the dismay of Hazan.

Elsewhere, Soraya Estrada was seen scooping up the last of Benjamin Spragg's stack, and big-stacked Adam Polek has around 270,000 now, down 150,000 from his peak.

Rama Prema and Krzysztof Krawczyk got into a preflop raising war that ended with Prema all in for approximately 80,000 from the cutoff against Krawczyk, who was in the hijack.

Rama Prema: 1010All in
Krzysztof Krawczyk: AK

The J84 flop and J turn came safe for Prema, but the A river paired Krawczyk's ace to end Prema's run in dramatic fashion.
