Steindel Thinks Long and Thinks Wrong

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Daniel Holzner and Christian Steindel each had 3,000 in front of them from the small blind and big blind respectively. They were faced with a preflop shove for 19,800 from Vladislav Dubanov in the hijack. Holzner folded, before Steindel went into the tank.

After a few minutes, a player at the table called the clock. About 10 seconds later, Steindel called with a covering stack to put Dubanov at risk.

Vladislav Dubanov: J♠J♥ All in
Christian Steindel: 8♠8♣

Steindel's pocket eights were dominated, and he was unable to improve on the 6♦9♠3♥A♥4♣ runout, resulting in a double up for Dubanov.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

The action erupted three-way on a 5♦Q♠K♣10♣ turn. With only a small amount in the pot and after some previous action, Simone Andrian reraised all in on the button.

Artus Gimenez had already vacated the pot under the gun, but big blind Sylwia Studniarz was deep in the tank with a stack of about 20,000. Eventually, she shrugged and called for her tournament life.

Sylwia Studniarz: K♠Q♥ All in
Simone Andrian: J♥9♥

Studniarz pushed her chips forward as the 5♣ river didn't change either player's hand. The dealer counted the chips and pushed them toward Andrian.

When Studniarz asked for clarification, the dealer informed her that Andrian had the covering stack.

"But I won," a perplexed Studniarz replied.

Studniarz buried her head in her hands when the table informed her Andrian had a straight before she dejectedly left the tournament area after busting her second bullet.

Player	Chips	Progress
Simone Andrian	67,000 37,000	37,000
Artus Gimenez	14,200 14,200	14,200

Sava Krink

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

With the board showing A♠10♠5♦A♦4♣ and about 5,000 in the middle, Max Bashlawi in the cutoff faced a 7,300 bet from Tommaso Palasciano in the small blind.

Bashlawi took his time, carefully counting his chips before finally making the call. Palasciano turned over A♥5♥ for a full house, which was more than enough to claim the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Timur Margolin opened to 800 from the hijack and received calls from Henrik Brockmann in the small blind, and Manuel Valkov in the big blind.

The flop came J♥J♣3♦, and action checked around to Margolin who bet 700. Only Brockmann called.

The two remaining players checked the 6♠ turn, leading to the 10♣ river. Brockmann bet 1,600, and Margolin called.

Brockmann showed Q♣J♦ for trip jacks to win the hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Timur Margolin	48,000 1,500	1,500
Henrik Brockmann	34,000 34,000	34,000

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Koyes Miah opened to 800 from the hijack and Victor Castanedo called on the button. Leo Worthington-Leese three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind, and only Castanedo called.

The J♠9♥2♠ flop was bet by Worthington-Leese for 9,000 covering Castanedo's remaining ~7,000 stack and Castanedo called.

Victor Castanedo: K♥J♥ All in
Leo Worthington-Leese: A♣K♦

Castanedo just needed to hold to secure the double, and the 3♥ turn and 2♣ river was enough to keep him ahead.

Player	Chips	Progress
Leo Worthington-Leese	23,500 6,500	6,500
Victor Castanedo	17,200 17,200	17,200
