Jankowski Can't Make Mack Fold Snowmen

Tim Baker

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With around 100,000 in the middle on a flop of J♦6♣7♥, Adrian Mack checked from under the gun and Lucjan Jankowski bet 40,000 from the button. Mack thought for a few moments before making the call.

The Q♣ dropped on the turn and Mack check-called a bet of 135,000 from Janowski.

The two players checked the J♠ river and Mack took down the pot with 8♣8♦ for just a pair of eights.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 3♣K♥2♣3♠ and Barak Oz checked. Enrico Camosci bet 80,000 and Oz made the call.

The river came the 3♦ and Oz checked again. Camosci bet 160,000, which sent Oz into the tank. He eventually folded and Camosci scooped in the pot.

Elsewhere, Alberto Lorenzon was seen leaving the table, eliminated when his opponent tabled pocket queens and held on a king-high board.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Lukas Pazma opened the action to 16,000, and Alen Sabic, on his direct left, moved all in for 195,000. The action folded to Anton Bergstrom, who announced all in for just over 500,000, and Pazma folded.

Alen Sabic: A♣10♦ All in
Anton Bergstrom: A♥K♦

Bergstrom had his opponent dominated, and with no help from the 9♠7♠4♦5♣J♣ board, Sabic hit the rail while Bergstrom added more chips to his stack.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With around 75,000 chips already in the middle on a J♥8♣K♦6♣ board, Sylwia Studniarz checked from the big blind and Darko Percic fired 35,000 from middle position. Studniarz then raised to 75,000, and Percic wasted no time in shoving for around 150,000 total. Studniarz called.

Darko Percic: K♥Q♦ All in
Sylwia Studniarz: J♣8♦

Percic had top pair, but needed to find some help on the river as Studniarz had flopped two pair. An A♦ river was no help to Percic, who tapped the table and made his way to the payout desk.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Philip Joyce raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Jerry Odeen three-bet to 42,000 from the cutoff. After it folded back to Joyce, he made the call.

Joyce check-called a bet of 26,000 from Odeen on the J♥K♠8♣ flop.

Joyce checked again on the 10♦ turn and Odeen shoved for roughly 120,000. Joyce snap-called and the cards were revealed.

Jerry Odeen: K♣10♣ All in
Philip Joyce: A♠Q♣

A brutal turn card had improved Odeen to two pair while also giving Joyce the nut straight. A non-pairing 7♥ came on the river and Joyce eliminated Odeen.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action folded to Denis Charlier on the button, who moved all in for approximately 95,000. Aurimas Stanevicius, with 40,000 in total, made the call, and the big blind folded.

Aurimas Stanevicius: 6♦6♥ All in
Denis Charlier: A♥K♦

Stanevicius' tournament life was on the line, needing to dodge some high cards. However, the J♦A♦4♥ flop was not what he was looking for. Neither the 7♥ turn nor the 10♥ river improved his hand, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Pedro Marques open-raised from middle position and Nikita Kuznetsov moved all in from the big blind for 149,000. Marques made the call with the covering stack and players turned their cards.

Nikita Kuznetsov: A♥K♦ All in
Pedro Marques: A♠Q♥

The flop came J♥2♣J♦, then the Q♠ turn gave Marques a pair of queens. Kuznetsov was one card away from hitting the rail, but the K♠ river gave him a pair of kings to win the pot and double up his stack.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Davor Pistalo raised to 18,000 from the hijack and Daan Mulders three-bet to 54,000 from the button, Sebastien Compte four-bet shoved for 97,000 which only Mulders called.

Sebastien Compte: A♥Q♠ All in
Daan Mulders: A♠5♠

Compte had Mulders dominated and was in a perfect spot to more than double-up. A clean runout of A♦10♣3♠2♠J♦ gave Compte the winner, and a chunk of Mulder's stack was sent to Compte.

Davor Pistalo	515,000 15,000	15,000

Grodek’s Nut Flush Leaves Mack in the Muck

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Stanislaw Grodek opened from under the gun and Adrian Mack three-bet the button to 35,000.

"You cover me, right?" asked Grodek when the action got back to him. Indeed, Mack did have the bigger stack, and Grodek called.

They saw a flop of 8♠Q♠6♠ where Grodek checked and Mack fired out 30,000. Grodek then went with a check-raise and made it 75,000, then Mack called.

A 3♦ dropped on the turn and Grodek reached for the bigger denomination chips, and fired out a bet of 100,000. Mack wasted no time in calling.

When the J♥ completed the board on the river, Grodek put three of his timebanks into the pot and burned through one of them before he shoved for 393,000. Mack, who was chip leader after the restart, had a big decision on his hands and would have a monumental stack if he called with the best hand. After just ten seconds, he made the call.

Grodek then revealed the nuts with A♠9♠, and Mack's Q♣J♣ was turned over for the table to see.

A massive pot for Grodek as he secured a huge double-up!
