Kozieja’s Jacks Hold

Sava Krink

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Grzegorz Kozieja opened under the gun to 8,000 and picked up two callers. Action then moved to Mariusz Klabisch in the big blind, who shoved his last 9,000. All three players put in the extra 1,000 to make the call.

The board ran out K♦Q♣4♠5♥2♦ and was checked all the way to showdown. Klabisch, whose tournament life was on the line, revealed A♣4♥ for a pair of fours, but Kozieja showed J♥J♦, good enough to claim the pot and send Klabisch to the rail.

Antonio Sciacca bet 8,000 from the hijack on a flop of 4♣A♠4♥ before Daan Mulders raised to 22,000 in the big blind. Luka Sorainen called under the gun, while Sciacca got out of the way.

Mulders checked the 10♣ turn, and Sorainen bet 12,000. Mulders called, and the 10♦ fell on the river. Sorainen then shoved forward a tower of blue 25,000 chips, and Mulders snap-folded for his last 60,000.

Three Fall on the Bubble, Split Two Min-Cashes

David Salituro

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Table 1:
With three called all-ins on the stone money bubble, the first to get to showdown was Gal Naim and Eyla Maaravi. Naim was all in from middle position for his remaining 170,000, and Maaravi called and covered from the small blind.

Gal Naim: J♣J♠ All in
Eyal Maaravi: K♥K♣

Naim was behind and looked to the board for help. The 2♣8♠4♣ flop didn't bring Naim anything to work with, and the A♥ turn and 3♦ river saw to his elimination.

Table 2:
The floor moved across to the second table, where action folded to Javier Fernandez, who shoved from the small blind, and Nusret Atmaca called for 60,000 in the big blind.

Nusret Atmaca: A♦K♥ All in
Javier Fernandez: 9♣5♠

The flop came 9♦J♦5♦ to give Fernandez two pair, while Atmaca was looking to complete a flush draw to stay alive on the money bubble. The 6♣ turn was no help, and Atmaca missed the 7♣ river as well and was eliminated.

Table 3:
Meanwhile, at another table, Slobodan Ruzicic opened from under the gun, Paawan Bansal three-bet to 30,000 from middle position, and Ruzicic shoved for 201,000. Bansal called with a covering stack, putting Ruzicic at risk in a pot worth over 100 big blinds.

Slobodan Ruzicic: Q♣Q♥ All in
Paawan Bansal: K♥K♦

Ruzicic was dominated with pocket queens against Bansal's pocket kings. He found no help on the 4♦5♣2♠2♥6♥ runout, resulting in his elimination.

The three players who were eliminated on the bubble will split two of the minimum cashes, each taking home €5,565.

Player	Chips	Progress
Paawan Bansal	860,000 405,000	405,000

Eyal Maaravi	445,000 196,000	196,000

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Juho Suutari moved all in for 157,000 in the big blind and was up against Jaehyung Park on the button.

Juho Suutari: A♦Q♣ All in
Jaehyung Park: A♠J♥

Suutari had Park dominated and was poised for a double up on the money bubble. The 10♠5♠3♥ flop and 6♣ turn were safe, while the Q♥ river improved Suutari to top pair and earned him the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Juho Suutari	320,000 130,000	130,000

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Fabian Wolf raised to 9,000 in middle position before Tobias Peters three-bet to 38,000 in the small blind. "Let's dance. Why not?" Wolf said as he called.

The flop came 8♦9♣3♠ and Peters bet 37,000. Wolf called, and the 4♠ fell on the turn. Peters then bet 121,000, and Wolf again called.

The river was the 3♦ and Peters moved all in. Wolf had around 230,000 remaining and went deep into the tank, spending several minutes agonizing over the decision before Peters called the clock. As a large crowd of cameras and curious onlookers gathered around the table, Wolf allowed his 30-second countdown to reach zero and his hand was declared dead.

"Bluff or not?" tablemate Vasyl Pidhrusnyi asked Peters.

"I cannot say," Peters replied.

With the board reading 8♠10♥4♥K♣9♦ and around 70,000 in the middle, Roland Rokita checked from out of position and Terry Jordon bet 54,000. Rokita called.

Jordon tabled a straight with J♦7♦, and Rokita mucked his hand.

Laura Fryer

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With just 185 players remaining, David Vesely was all-in and at-risk for his remaining ~125,000 chips. He was called and covered by Ivan Deyra in the big blind.

The floor paused action while the other tables wrapped up, and as it was the only all-in and call, the players were told to go to showdown.

David Vesely: K♣K♥ All in
Ivan Deyra: A♠J♦

Veseley was ahead, but the 9♥10♥7♦ flop brought in a sweat as Deyra picked up a straight draw.

The 8♠ turn was exactly what Deyra needed, and Vesley stood from the table to see the 9♣ river be placed.

Vesely was eliminated just one hand before the stone bubble, having narrowly missed out on the minimum cash of €8,350.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Iraklis Manikaros shoved from the cutoff, covering all remaining players at his table. Chengzhou Zhou called from the small blind for his last 35,000, putting himself at risk.

Chengzhou Zhou: K♠K♦ All in
Iraklis Manikaros: A♦2♠

The K♥9♣Q♠8♠3♦ gave Zhou a set of kings for the double-up.

On the next hand at another table, Severi Palmu was all-in from the button for 26,000, and up against Ryan Mandara, in middle position, who covered him.

Severi Palmu: A♣A♠ All in
Ryan Mandara: K♦J♣

The 8♣3♠7♦4♣6♣ runout kept Palmu's aces in front, and he doubled his short stack.
