Exiting Day 1a

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Soika Relinquishes on River

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Chady Ojeil open-raised to 2,500 in middle position. Yann Pineau flatted in the small blind before Ihar Soika squeezed in a three-bet to 12,900 from the big blind. Ojeil matched the bet, prompting Pineau to get out of the way.

Soika continued for 8,500 on the 235 flop. Ojeil called to the J turn, where Soika checked to him. Ojeil then placed a bet of 21,000, which Soika called after some thought.

The A fell on the river. Ojeil sized down to 15,000, causing Soika to enter another tank. After a few minutes, Soika let go of his hand, seeing the chips go to Ojeil without showdown.

Artur Sychov
Artur Sychov

In a pot worth 19,000, Artur Sychov and Sanghoon Choi had reached the A3K94 river. Small blind Sychov checked it over to Choi, who bet 15,000 from under the gun, covering Sychov's remaining stack.

Sychov spent a few minutes in the tank before he called off for his tournament life. Choi showed A4 for rivered two pair.

Sychov groaned as he saw the bad news, and he said his goodbyes as his A10 disappeared into the muck.

Just EPT Prague and PokerStars Open Cannes remain, not just for Docherty to overtake Steinn Thanh Du Karlsson at the top of the Low tier, but also there are winners to be crowned in the Medium and High tiers as well.
