Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Eduardo Kalil opened the action to 10,000 from the button, and Pawel Wojciechowski called from the big blind.

The dealer revealed a flop of 7♣7♥10♥, and Kalil continued with a bet of 6,000. Wojciechowski check-raised to 18,000, and after some thought, Kalil made the call.

The turn brought the 5♣, and Wojciechowski continued his aggression with a bet of 51,000, which Kalil called.

The 4♣ completed the board, and Wojciechowski decided to check. Kalil slid 55,000 into the pot, prompting Wojciechowski to fold.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a board of 10♥K♦Q♣2♥, there were around 80,000 chips in the middle when Kenny Burke got his stack of 125,000 in the middle, and was put at risk by Maksim Vaskresenski.

Kenny Burke: K♠Q♦ All in
Maksim Vaskresenski: A♠A♦

Burke had flopped two pair to get his nose in front of the aces, but still needed to fade the river card in order to survive and double up. The British player actually improved to a full house on the K♣ river, which secured him the pot and a stack of around 330,000.

Sorainen Wins Pot, Konopelko Uses All Six Time Bank Cards by Accident

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Following an open raise to 10,000 from early position, Jakub Cihar three-bet to 32,000, then Luka Sorainen four-bet to 57,000.

Andrei Konopelko went deep into the tank, or so it seemed. He looked like he was giving the hand serious thought as the dealer took all six of his time bank cards, one by one. After his last time bank was taken, the dealer folded Konopelko's hand, which woke him up a bit. As it happened, Konopelko hadn't realised he was in the hand.

Action was back on Cihar, who called Sorainen's four-bet. The flop came 4♦9♦10♣ and Cihar checked. Sorainen bet 29,000 and Cihar folded his hand to give Sorainen the pot.

Fabio Peluso raised to 14,000 from the cutoff with just 1,000 behind. Artur Shupa called from the big blind and they went to the flop.

The two players checked a board of 2♦4♠5♠5♣J♥ all the way to river before Shupa bet the minimum to put Peluso all in. Peluso called.

Fabio Peluso: A♣8♠ All in
Artur Shupa: 9♥4♦

Peluso was eliminated with ace-high against the pair of fours of Shupa.

Jacob Amsellem raised from early position, David Wintersberger reraised from the big blind and Amsellem called.

The flop came K♣6♥4♠ and Wintersberger continued for 30,000, which Amsellem called. The turn was the Q♠ and Wintersberger slowed down with a check. Amsellem bet 70,000 and Wintersberger folded his hand to concede the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Johnson had opened from the cutoff and got called by Barak Oz on the button & Luka Bojovic in the big blind.

They went to a flop of 3♠Q♥5♠ where Bojovic and Johnson checked, then Oz fired 14,000. Bojovic and Johnson called.

A 2♦ on the turn was checked through, as was the J♥ river.

"Ace-high," said Bojovic, which was no good as Johnson tabled J♠7♠ for a pair of jacks. However, Oz had K♣J♣ for a pair of jacks with a better kicker to claim the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Luka Bojovic	300,000 15,000	15,000
Barak Oz	270,000 34,000	34,000

Rudolph Scores a Double-Up on the First Hand

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On the first hand of Day 3, there was already an all-in and a call at table #11, with Christian Rudolph’s tournament life on the line.

Christian Rudolph: A♣A♥ All in
Yauheni Tsiareshchanka: A♠K♦

Rudolph found himself on the right side of the cooler, while Tsiareshchanka needed significant help from the board. The dealer spread a flop of 9♥K♠2♣, giving Tsiareshchanka a glimmer of hope, but the 6♦ turn and 2♥ river provided no further improvement. Tsiareshchanka was left with just two big blinds.
