Cruel Flop Benefits Schieffer and Sends Out Kostagiolas

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Philipp Schieffer
Philipp Schieffer

Around 6,000 was in the pot as Philipp Schieffer and Leonidas Kostagiolas went to the river on a board of 9J928.

Schieffer bet 4,600 from the big blind and Kostagiolas raised to 10,000 under the gun. Schieffer moved all in.

Kostagiolas had around 13,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before calling. Schieffer then turned over JJ for a flopped full house and Kostagiolas mucked A9 as he headed to the rail.

Smbatyan First to Bust

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Action was on the flop on a board of 554 and Daniel Zimbru checked. Artyom Smbatyan moved all in for his last 2,700 chips into a pot of 7,200. The button folded and Zimbru called. Players revealed their hands.

Artyom Smbatyan: J2
Daniel Zimbru: AQ

The turn came the 3 and river the 10, so Zimbru's ace-high was enough to win the pot. Smbatyan was the first to be eliminated in Day 1a of the Main Event.
