Dominik Panka opened for 12,000 from the hijack only to have Chris Wynants three-bet to 30,000 from the small blind. Benny Spindler, who was in the big, then four-bet all in for 192,000 total. Panka got out of the way and Wynants made the call.
Spindler:
Wynants:
The flop kept Wynants in the lead, but then the dealer burned and turned the .
"Awe f**k," Wynants let slip. He then watched helplessly as the blanked on the river before sending more of his stack over to Spindler.
Pablo Fernandez started into Day 3 as shortest stack but managed to navigate through the first few levels, survived the bubble and built up a stack. Some of that now vanished though and under most unfortunate circumstances. Carlo Citrone was all in for 59,000 and flipped over the .
Fernandez was way ahead with but the board ran out and Citrone doubled. "This is the one I gotta lose," laughed the Brit and Citrone joked to the dealer: "If I win this tournament, you can have a holiday anywhere in the world." That's hereby duly noted.
During the break, the dealers compiled some chips counts at their respective tables and passed them on to Pagano Events, who were kind enough to provide us with some updated info.
A short-stacked Matthieu Rodriguez was all in and at risk for his last 40,000 with and Dorin Rauta had him dominated with . The board ran out and the Romanian made a full house.
"You get a one round penalty sir" tournament director Luca Vivaldi told Juan Antonio Riera Roig. Roig got up from the table, still visibly on tilt, and made his way to the rail. Vivaldi told us that Roig had destroyed a card by crumbling it after losing a big pot on the river.
Duhamel told us that Roig had called a raise from the big blind. The flop had come with two spades and Roig had check raised Rudolf Wilhelm Zintel's 12,000 continuation bet to 38,000. Zintel had called, and had called the 65,000 bet that Roig made on the blank turn as well.
The on the river had made Roig check. Zintel had bet 125,000 and Roig had made the call. Roig had showed for a missed flush draw but a hit straight and Roig had crumbled one of his cards and mucked.
Brett Angell started with fewer than 40,000 chips and managed to turn that into 600,000 over the course of the first two levels. His stack is back on the slide now though.
Serdar Demiroglu was all in for 75,000 and Angell gave him a spin.
Dennis Kaj Smit and Bjorn Wiesler clashed with the Dutchman being all in for over 200,000. He turned over and went into showdown against the of Wiesler. The board ran out and Smit is well above average now.
In the break we caught Sergio Aido and Javier Gomez Zapatero in a little discussion and used the opportunity to inquire how the Spaniard bumped his stack from 500,000 to 900,000, as that wasn't clear just yet. Apparently he was involved in a multi-way pot that saw a player squeeze all in for 300,000 with pocket queens and Zapatero thankfully called with pocket aces.
Paying homage to some of the great stallers of our time Griffin Benger evidently decided to have a little fun on the bubble (the cameras may have helped), as the PokerStars Blog reports.
