A Little Bit of Black Magic Sends Kozieja to the Rail

Arnaud Enselme raised to 80,000 from under the gun, and Michael Dwyer called in the small blind. Grzegorz Kozieja responded with a three-bet to 485,000 from the big blind, leaving one 5,000 chip behind. Enselme four-bet all-in, which quickly removed Dwyer, and Kozieja committed his final chip.

Grzegorz Kozieja: K♥K♣ All in
Arnaud Enselme: A♠Q♠

The J♦7♥3♣ flop and 7♣ turn offered Enselme no extra help, leaving him with just three outs in his quest to reduce the field by one. As the dealer burned a card and began to turn the river, Enselme flicked his A♠ towards where the final card was about to land. As if by magic, it arrived just as the A♣ completed the board, bringing Kozieja's Main Event to an end.

Kozieja's elimination saw him fall in 24th, busting at the same time as Henok Tekle Mariam, just shy of the final three tables.

Manuel Ferrari opened the action with a raise to 80,000 under the gun. Xiaosheng Zhen called as next to act, prompting Henok Tekle Mariam to squeeze in a three-bet to 310,000.

Ferrari moved all in in response, causing Zheng to quickly get rid of his A♣J♣. Tekle Mariam, however, quickly called for 1,600,000.

Henok Tekle Mariam: Q♥Q♦ All in
Manuel Ferrari: A♥K♥

The 9♠J♠3♥5♥ flop and turn provided Ferrari with a flush draw, and the 7♥ river improved him to a flush to send Tekle Mariam packing.

Henok Tekle Mariam made it 80,000 in the cutoff. Barbara Akemi then three-bet to 320,000 from the big blind, and Tekle Mariam called.

The J♠6♥5♣ flop is where Akemi continued for 240,000. Tekle Mariam called, after which the 8♥ turn was checked through.

Akemi barreled for 230,000 on the 4♣ river. Tekle Mariam spent some time in the tank before he folded, conceding the pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Grzegorz Kozieja raised to 220,000 from under the gun, leaving himself just an eighth of a big blind behind. Matas Cimbolas called from the small blind and accidentally turned over his pocket eights, thinking Kozieja was all in.

There were still some flops Kozieja could fold, but after Cimbolas put him all in on the 6♦3♥Q♦ flop, Kozieja beat him into the pot with a call.

Grzegorz Kozieja: Q♥10♦ All in
Matas Cimbolas: 8♦8♠

Kozieja had found top pair to take the lead, leaving Cimbolas needing an eight to send him home.

No eight came on the 3♠ turn or J♣ river, and Kozieja doubled up to over ten big blinds.

The PokerStars Sunday Million is heading back to the live felt.

PokerStars has announced the return of Sunday Million Live, with the iconic online tournament making just its second live appearance when it heads to Casino di Campione in Italy from October 2-12.

Featuring a €250 buy-in Main Event with a €1 million guaranteed prize pool, like the original format, the tournament will use a hybrid setup, allowing players to qualify through both online and live Day 1 flights before converging on the shores of the Lago di Lugano for the business end of proceedings.

It marks the first time Sunday Million Live has been held since its inaugural outing in 2017 and forms part of ongoing celebrations at PokerStars, with the operator celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026.

Michael Dwyer was first to act and raised to 80,000. Matas Cimbolas defended his big blind, after which the 7♠5♠Q♣ flop and 8♣ turn were checked by both players.

Cimbolas then fired 180,000 on the 6♦ river. Dwyer clicked it back to 375,000, which was enough to make Cimbolas fold.

Eduardo Kalil raised to 80,000 in the cutoff, getting blinds Vinicius Goncalves and Jose Criado along to the 10♣2♦7♣ flop. It checked to Kalil, who bet 90,000. Goncalves raised to 210,000, folding out Criado with 9♥6♥.

Kalil called, however, witnessing the K♥ arrive on the turn. Goncalves slowed down with a check, prompting Kalil to bet 170,000. Goncalves just called this time, and the 7♥ river subsequently completed the board.

Goncalves checked again, and Kalil responded with an all-in shove of 400,000. Goncalves quickly called, but his K♣J♣ was no match for the 10♠10♥ of Kalil, who had flopped top set and doubled up.

The action was picked up with roughly 515,000 in the pot, and a board dealt to a 2♥7♦6♦5♣ turn.

Playing from the hijack, Gerard Carbo checked to Alexandru Toderita on the button, and Toderita bet 225,000. Carbo called, and the 9♠ completed the board. Carbo checked again, and this time Toderita checked back.

Carbo tabled A♥6♥, which had been run down by the 10♥9♥ of Toderita.

Lukas van Eeden made it 80,000 to go in the hijack. Gerard Carbo responded with a three-bet to 230,000 on the button, and Van Eeden four-bet jammed for 1,195,000 once it got back to him.

Carbo snap-called, putting another player at risk.

Lukas van Eeden: A♥Q♥ All in
Gerard Carbo: Q♠Q♣

Van Eeden flopped a royal flush draw on K♥J♥6♦, giving him plenty of outs against Carbo's queens. The 3♦ turn was insignificant, but the 6♥ river completed Van Eeden's flush, securing him a double-up.
