Catching up with the action on a flop of K♥Q♠10♦, Omer Segal was all-in against Ruslan Zainullin, who had him covered as players turned their cards.
Zainullin had K♦Q♥ for two pair, but Segal was ahead with J♠9♣ for a straight.
The turn came the 8♣ and river the 7♥ and Segal held to win the pot, doubling his stack.
A pot of around 12,000 had brewed between Omar Del Pino in the small blind and Javier Tazon in the big blind.
The board read 8♥7♥7♠10♥A♣ and Del Pino had fired a small bet of 1,000 on the river, then Tazon had announced a raise and made it 13,500. After some time, Del Pino then moved all in, which gave Tazon a test for the 13,000 he had behind. With a shrug of the shoulders, Tazon needed just a few seconds to make the call.
Del Pino then revealed 10♠3♠ for a pair of tens, but that was no match for the top boat of Tazon, who held A♠A♦.
Nikita Kuznetcov set the stage with an under-the-gun raise to 700, quickly finding a caller in [Removed:548] on the button. Cedric Schwaederle upped the ante from the small blind, three-betting to 2,800. After some deliberation and a glance at his opponents’ stacks, Phil Gross made the call from the big blind. When the action circled back to Kuznetcov, he wasted no time shoving his entire 28,600-chip stack into the middle.
[Removed:549] bowed out, but Schwaederle called for his remaining 18,600, putting the pressure squarely on Gross. With both players covered, Gross decided to take his chances and called, sending the pot to a three-way showdown:
Cedric Schwaederle: K♦K♥
Nikita Kuznetcov: J♣J♦
Phil Gross: Q♥J♥
The flop came 6♦3♥4♠, leaving Schwaederle's kings in the lead.
However, the turn brought the J♠, completing a set for Kuznetcov and flipping the script.
Schwaederle still had outs for a river king, but the 8♦ fell instead, sealing the massive pot for Kuznetcov. Schwaederle’s tournament run came to an abrupt end, while Gross saw his gamble fall short.
Aleksandr Tomovic opened to 700 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 2,500 by Espen Jorstad on the button. Just behind him, Kanchan Sharma four-bet to 7,000 in the small blind, which was met with a fold from Tomovic and a five-bet from Jorstad for enough to put Sharma all in for her last 11,500.
Sharma thought better of it and let her hand go, conceding the pot to Jorstad.
Level: 4
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 400
The flop of 4♦7♣2♣ was already out at Table #9 when Shlomo Angel moved all in for 6,000 and was called by Refael Dahan.
Shlomo Angel: A♥4♣
Refael Dahan: 7♥7♦
Angel needed a lot of help to win the hand, but the 8♦ and 8♥ turn and river were no help to him and he exited the tournament, while Dahan improved to a full house and added more chips to his stack.
Following an open-raise to 700 from late position, Pascal Vos called in the small blind, then Damian Eichler three-bet to 2,600 from the big blind. The original raiser folded and Vos called.
The flop came A♥8♥2♠ and Vos checked to the aggressor. Eichler continued for 2,800 and Vos called. The turn was the 3♠ and Vos checked again. Eichler sized up to 9,200 and Vos mucked his hand to concede the pot.
Anton Wigg is going along nicely in the Main Event, and has around 40,000 after the last hand he just played.
Ruslan Volkov had raised from the cutoff and then called the three-bet of Wigg, who was in the big blind.
On the J♦A♥4♥ flop, Wigg made a continuation-bet and Volkov quickly got out of the way.
Andras Vaczo raised to 900 from under the gun and Marcello Miniucchi three-bet to 3,000 from the next seat. When the action got back to Vaczo, he called.
A 2♠7♦9♦ flop hit the felt and Vaczo checked it over to Miniucchi, who fired a continuation-bet of 2,500. Vaczo called.
When the 6♥ dropped on the turn, Vaczo tapped the table for a second time and Miniucchi kept on firing with a bet of 6,500. Vaczo took a little longer than he did on the flop, but did eventually called.
The 8♠ on the river made the board much dicier and after Vaczo checked for a third time, Miniucchi elected to knuckle back. Vaczo then flipped Q♣Q♦ for a pair of queens, and Miniucchi mucked.
Pascal Pflock opened the action to 900 from early position and received a three-bet from Anton Suarez to 3,000 from his direct left. The action folded back to Pflock, who made the call.
Pflock checked the A♠10♦A♣ flop, and Suarez continued with a bet of 1,500, which Pflock called.
The turn was the 5♣, and Pflock again check-called a bet of 6,500.
The 4♥ completed the board, and Pflock checked once more. Suarez then cut out a bet of 16,000, sending Pflock into the tank. Pflock asked to see his opponent’s stack but after about three minutes he tossed his cards into the muck.
