Bullets Send Mulders Home

Tim Baker

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Daan Mulders was all in and Marc Meden was the player trying to end his tournament.

Daan Mulders: A♠Q♦ All in
Marc Meden: A♦A♣

Mulders needed a lot of help from the dealer to crack Meden's pocket aces. The board came K♥7♣2♠7♠2♣ which didn't help Mulders, and he was out of the tournament.

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

Matan Krakow raised to 2,500 under the gun before Yassmine Abdallaoui shoved for 17,000 from the next seat. Amato Landi called for his last 15,000 from the small blind and Krakow called to put both players at risk.

Amato Landi: J♥J♠ All in
Yassmine Abdallaoui: A♦Q♥ All in
Matan Krakow: A♠K♠

Krakow had a chance to bust two players if his Big Slick could win the pot. However, the flop of Q♦7♦4♥ put Abdallaoui in the lead with a pair of queens. The A♣ came on the turn and the 4♣ hit the river. Abdallaoui won the pot with two pair earning her virtually a triple up, while Landi was out.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was picked up with the flop showing 4♠8♦6♦. Daniel Kaspari checked from the big blind and Salvatore Camarda bet 3,000 from middle position. Jonas Hagstrom called from the button before Kaspari check-jammed for 21,500. Camarda called, but Hagstrom folded.

Daniel Kaspari: K♣6♣ All in
Salvatore Camarda: 6♥6♠

Camarda had flopped a set and Kaspari needed running cards to stay alive. The rest of the board came Q♠2♣ to give Camarda the winner, sending Kaspari to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The pot stood at around 24,000 with two players looking at a board of 10♦J♣A♠2♣.

Nikolay Ponomarev, in the big blind, bet out 9,000. Simas Karaliunas, in middle position, called.

The J♦ river saw Ponomarev empty the clip, moving all in for 10,400. Karaliunas went deep into the tank, thinking for some time before making a reluctant call.

Nikolay Ponomarev: 9♦7♥ All in
Simas Karaliunas: A♦10♣

Karaliunas' two pair were best and Ponomarev was sent to the rail.

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Georgios Vrakas started the action with an open to 2,400, only to see Eleftherios Papangelis move all in for 16,000 directly to his left. When the action reached Cosmin Tabusca, he also announced all in, for 22,800, and Vrakas folded.

Eleftherios Papangelis: A♦2♥ All in
Cosmin Tabusca: K♥10♥

Papangelis was slightly ahead, but that changed on the Q♣K♠5♣ flop as Tabusca hit a pair of kings. However, the A♣ on the turn shifted the advantage to Papangelis, and with the 7♥ on the river, Papangelis secured the double up. Tabusca was left short and was eliminated in the next hand.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ferenc Vardai raised to 2,400 from the cutoff and Espen Nikolaisen three-bet to 6,800 from the button. After the blinds folded, Vardai four-bet ripped it for roughly 20,000. Nikolaisen snap-called, and the cards were revealed.

Ferenc Vardai: A♦K♠ All in
Espen Nikolaisen: Q♠Q♣

Vardai couldn't find any help with Big Slick on the 6♠9♣9♠8♥J♠ runout. Nikolaisen's queens held up and Vardai was sent to the showers.

Ollie Garland

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was caught as a preflop-raising war saw Fabricio Nociolini, in early position, have both Fergal Coyle, on the button, and Aziz Efe, in the small blind, all in and at risk.

Aziz Efe: 10♣10♥ All in
Fergal Coyle: A♠K♠ All in
Fabricio Nociolini: J♦J♥

Nociolini was the favorite to score a double bust-out until the 9♦4♣K♣ flop put Coyle in the lead. The A♣ turn and 8♥ river improved Coyle to two pair, eliminating Efe and leaving Nociolini short.

Fergal Coyle	35,000 22,000	22,000

Pierre May raised to 3,500 from under the gun, Felix Schneiders called on the button and Aurimas Stanevicius, in the small blind, moved all in. May folded and Schneiders snap-called.

Aurimas Stanevicius: K♦J♦ All in
Felix Schneiders: A♠Q♥

Schneiders was ahead and the Q♦8♣5♣ flop confirmed this. The 2♣ turn and 8♥ river changed nothing and Stanevicius was sent to the rail.

Vrakas Sends Papangelis to the Rail

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Eleftherios Papangelis opened from under the gun to 4,000. Everyone folded, and when it was Georgios Vrakas' turn to act from the big blind, he announced all in for the effective stack of Papangelis, which was around 30,000. Papangelis thought for a moment and made the call.

Eleftherios Papangelis: 8♥8♠ All in
Georgios Vrakas: 10♥10♣

Papangelis was in bad shape, and his chances of surviving dwindled even further when the flop came 4x6x10x. The Ax on the turn left him drawing dead, and the 3x on the river sealed the deal. Vrakas sits comfortably with a stack twice the average.
