Grimm's Stack Decimated, Calderone Benefits

Kai Cocklin

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After cracking aces with his Big Slick earlier in the day, Denis Grimm just lost the majority of his stack to his table neighbor Eros Calderone.

The full board of 2♥6♣5♣3♠K♦ was showing with all the chips already in the middle. Grimm's cards were mucked and Calderone's A♥K♣ had rivered a pair of kings to scoop the chunky pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Christian Arndt opened to 6,000 from early position and was called by Tomas Pinkevicius on the button and Marek Oubrecht in the small blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked through on the A♦K♦4♥ flop and then Oubrecht led out for 9,000 after the J♠ landed on the turn. Pinkevicius folded and Arndt called.

The Q♣ filled the river and Oubrecht bet 13,000. Arndt put in a reluctant call and Oubrecht revealed A♣10♣ for Broadway.

Arndt couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Oubrecht.

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

With around 20,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 7♦4♦6♠, Eros Calderone checked from the small blind and Sean Mills fired out 15,500 from the cutoff. Calderone called.

A 6♦ on the turn went check-check, and Calderone led out for 25,000 on the A♠ river. Mills didn't need to think for too long before he called.

Calderone didn't feel like revealing his cards at showdown so he mucked, which meant Mills won the pot without showing his cards.

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

Vladyslav Martynenko had his stack of of around 60,000 in the middle from the big blind and was put at risk by Giacomo Pittaluga from the small blind.

Vladyslav Martynenko: K♠Q♠ All in
Giacomo Pittaluga: A♣10♠

Martynenko needed to connect with the board to remain in the tournament, but was left drawing dead by the time the turn was dealt as the 8♥4♥6♦A♦8♣ runout meant he hit the rail and Pittaluga claimed the pot.

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

Leo Margets raised to 8,000 from the hijack and it was folded to Volkan Yucel in the small blind, who shoved for 46,000 total.

Margets verified the amount and put in a call to put Yucel at risk.

Volkan Yucel: Q♦10♦ All in
Leo Margets: A♥9♦

Margets had made the right call with her ace, but the K♠9♣8♥Q♠2♠ runout improved Yucel to a winning pair of queens and he was awarded the double up.

Flush Over Flush Sees Tropschuh Eliminated By Puccilli

Kai Cocklin

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

There were already around 50,000 chips in the pot on a board of A♣7♣5♦5♣ when Tobias Tropschuh checked and Stefano Puccilli fired 25,000. Tropschuh then shoved for around 40,000, and Puccilli quickly called.

Tobias Tropschuh: 4♣3♣ All in
Stefano Puccilli: Q♣J♣

Tropschuh had a smaller flush but amazingly did have outs to survive as two cards would improve him to a straight flush! However, he couldn't find his two-outer as the 4♦ completed the board, which left him on the sidelines and sent Puccilli's stack rocketing up the counts.
