Kryza Entering Late-Night Surge

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Hamoun Habibi and Vitaliy Kryza had gathered 17,000 in the middle when the J♥10♣Q♦ flop was spread. Habibi checked from the big blind to Kryza in the cutoff, who bet 5,000.

Habibi called to the 9♥ turn, which both players checked. Habibi then fired 8,000 into the pot on the 6♠ river. Kryza snapped him off and revealed K♥J♦ for a straight.

Habibi had top set with Q♥Q♣, but lost the pot as Kryza added more chips to his impressive towers.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Dimitri Steinfeuer opened to 2,100 from the cutoff, and Gal Naim three-bet to 10,600 from the small blind. Steinfeuer called, and the players went to the flop.

Naim bet 11,500 after seeing the 5♦9♣2♣ flop, and Steinfeuer moved all in for around 30,000. Naim snap-called, and the players flipped their hands.

Dimitri Steinfeuer: J♦9♦ All in
Gal Naim: A♠9♥

Both players were looking at top pair, but Naim was ahead with the ace kicker.

There was no change on the 5♣ turn or 3♦ river, and Steinfeuer left the tournament in the last level of the day.

Sava Krink

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Bartosz Jablonski opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 2,000 and picked up two callers, Michael Falcon in the cutoff and Benjamin Chalot on the button.

The flop came 3♣3♠K♥, and Jablonski continued for 3,500, with only Falcon staying in to see the 4♦ turn.

Jablonski checked, and Falcon took the chance to lead out with a 2,500 bet, which Jablonski called.

The 8♠ completed the board, and both players checked to showdown. Jablonski revealed 6♦6♣ for two pair, sixes and threes, enough to take the pot as Falcon’s hand went into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Bartosz Jablonski	140,000 39,000	39,000
Benjamin Chalot	95,000 42,900	42,900

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Elvis Petcu shoved for 14,300 from the hijack. Quentin Saint-Martin asked for a count, and shortly after called with a covering stack from the big blind.

Elvis Petcu: A♠10♠ All in
Quentin Saint-Martin: 10♦9♦

Petcu was in great shape to double with a dominating ten, but the J♦J♠4♥3♦8♦ runout gave Saint-Martin a backdoor flush to send him to the rail.

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

Reino Rasmussen opened to 2,500 in the hijack. Dimitrios Kilintaris, one of the top stacks in the room, three-bet to 7,500 in the small blind, and Rasmussen called after jokingly asking his opponent how much he played.

Kilintaris continued for 5,500 on the 7♥4♠J♠ flop. Rasmussen moved all in for 20,000 after some thought, and Kilintaris snap-called.

Reino Rasmussen: A♣J♦ All in
Dimitrios Kilintaris: K♥K♦

Kilintaris' kings remained best on the 3♦6♦ runout, leaving Rasmussen without chips.

Elias Suhonen opened to 2,400 from early position, Adrian Chiforescu called from the hijack, Grzegorz Kozieja called from the button, and Fehim Hajdari defended from the big blind.

The flop came A♥3♠4♠, and action checked around to Suhonen, who bet 2,500. Chiforescu called, while the other two players folded.

Suhonen continued for 14,000 on the K♦ turn, and this time Chiforescu opted to fold.
