Junker on Crumbs as De Visscher Hooks Double-Up

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Koen De Visscner
Koen De Visscner

Koen De Visscher opened his button to 30,000 before Henrik Juncker moved all in from the small blind. The big blind quickly got out of the way, but De Visscher immediately called for his stack of 287,000.

Koen De Visscher: QQ All in
Henrik Juncker: QJ

Juncker needed running quads after the 7JQ flop, but the 5 turn dashed any hopes of a miracle. The useless 6 river upgraded De Visscher to a flush, doubling him up and leaving Juncker with less than five big blinds.

Sochneu Joins the Big Stacks Thanks to Quads

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Siarhei Sochneu
Siarhei Sochneu

Modar Alsoud raised to 30,000 from the hijack before Siarhei Sochneu made it 130,000 from the cutoff. Dietrich Fast four-bet to 250,000 from the button, forcing out Alsoud. Sochneu shipped in his stack, which covered the roughly 650,000 that Fast had. Fast thought briefly, and called for his tournament life.

Siarhei Sochneu: QQAll in
Dietrich Fast: 99

Sochneu left Fast needing to go runner-runner after the QJ7 flop, but the Q turn gave him quads for the checkmark. The A river completed the board and Fast departed in the dying embers of Day 2.

Yaaran Mistimes Four-Bet Jam

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Francesco Di Profio made it 30,000 to go in the hijack, being three-bet to 100,000 by Mohamed-Said Taghla in the cutoff.

Arie Yaaran sat in the small blind and decided to wager his stack of 242,000, causing Di Profio to quickly fold. Taghla put in the extra required chips for a call, and the pair showed down.

Arie Yaaran: K10 All in
Mohamed-Said Taghla: JJ

Taghla flopped top set on 107J. The 8 turn left Yaaran drawing to a chop, but the 4 river bricked off to secure the pot in Taghla's favor.

Pavlov Eliminated as Jagger Wins "Tough" Hand

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Atanas Pavlov jammed in his stack of 156,000 from middle position. It folded to James Jagger in the big blind, who asked for a count before calling with the covering stack.

Atanas Pavlov: AQ All in
James Jagger: 66

"That's gonna be a tough one to win," Jagger quipped as the 97J flop added a flush draw to Pavlov's arsenal of outs.

However, neither the 3 turn nor the K river provided further help to Pavlov. Jagger's pocket pair held firmly to knock Pavlov out in the final level of the afternoon.

La Fouchardiere Makes the Payjump

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Simone Demasi opened to 25,000 from under the gun and was called by Yelizaveta Aktas from the next seat over. Angelo Vietti three-bet to 90,000 from the hijack, putting the action on Hugo De La Fouchardiere, who was in the cutoff.

La Fouchardiere announced "raise," and then slid in individual stacks, wanting to do an effective all-in. However, this was ruled as a string-bet and he was forced to min-raise to 155,000.

Demasi and Aktas folded, and then Vietti jammed for 326,000. There were 96 players remaining at the time, with a payjump at 95. La Fouchardiere stalled until the clock was called. When the countdown hit five, he called as the slightly covering stack.

Angelo Vietti: AAAll in
Hugo De La Fouchardiere: AK

La Fouchadiere was left with one big blind after the 84210Q runout, but he made his extra €650 as Felix Schneiders busted on another table in 96th place. La Fouchadiere then exited in 95th.
