Gomez Zapatero Takes from Duda and Kuiper

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Javier Gomez Zapatero opened to 80,000 and was called by Antonin Duda in the cutoff to see a heads-up flop of {K-Spades} {3-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. Duda called a first barrel worth 100,000 to see the {10-Diamonds} turn and then folded to a second barrel worth 180,000.

Shortly after, Gomez Zapatero defended his big blind against a raise of Bart Kuiper to see a flop of {K-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {J-Diamonds}. Both players checked and did so again after the {5-Clubs} turn. The {5-Spades} river saw the Spaniard bet 190,000 and Kuiper called to muck when he was shown the {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts} by Gomez Zapatero.

Now Panka has the Kings

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Dominik Panka three-bet out of the big blind and initial raiser Fedor Holz called out of the cutoff to see a flop of {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {J-Hearts} on the feature table. Both players checked and Panka check-called the {9-Clubs} turn for 325,000. On the {Q-Hearts} river, Panka checked and Holz checked behind to get shown the exact same hand that he just lost with, {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}, to muck disgustedly.

Panka Cracks the Kings of Holz

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

On the feature table, Dominik Panka four-bet shoved out of the hijack seat for 1,010,000 in chips and Fedor Holz snap-called after having three-bet out of the small blind. Panka was at risk with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} and Holz had the {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}.

The {8-Spades} {3-Spades} {10-Hearts} flop was save for Holz, but Panka picked up some outs on the {J-Hearts} turn with aces, nines and queens all being good. Panka got there on the {A-Hearts} river and doubled up to more than 2 million in chips.

Carlo Citrone - 12th Place
Carlo Citrone - 12th Place

Remi Wyrzykiewicz opened to 80,000 and saw Carlo Citrone move all in for 453,000 chips out of the small blind. The initial raiser gave it some time and then decided to call with {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}. Citrone was looking for a comeback in an almost one-million chip pot, tabling his {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.

The dealer burned and turned the {7-Hearts} {8-Spades} {K-Clubs} flop and Wyrzykiewicz took the lead. On the {10-Hearts} turn, the outs of Citrone increased to aces and queens, but the {3-Diamonds} river was a brick and sent him to the rail in 12th place for €44,500.

Gomez Zapatero Tries to Dominate Table

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

On the outer table, Antonin Duda defended his big blind to see a flop of {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} and bet 90,000. Preflop aggressor Javier Gomez Zapatero called and was checked to on the {J-Spades} turn to win the pot with a bet of 175,000.

The Spaniard then opened again and was called by Valentin Messina in the big blind to see a flop of {J-Hearts} {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}. Both players checked and Messina check-folded the [2s[ turn to a bet of 75,000.

Last but not least Stefan Schillhabel raised and four-bet shoved against Julien Duveau and the Frenchman forfeited his three-bet worth 205,000.

All Is Ok Doei.

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Javier Gomez Zapatero has been openening a lot of pots lately on the outer table and Bart Kuiper moved all in. Gomez Zapatero folded and the chips went to the Dutchman, who is sporting a shirt with the slogan "Ok Doei." today. Yesterday, he was the "random button clicker."

Out Dutch bloggers informed us that "doei" in fact means "bye". Well, Kuiper is still in.

Mateusz Moolhuizen - 13th Place

Mateusz Moolhuizen wasn't happy at busting but also wasn't happy that his opponent, Valentin Messina, took so long to call his shove.

Julien Duveau opened the pot with a raise to 85,000 from the button before Messina three-bet to 205,000 from the small blind. Moolhuizen was in the big blind and moved all in for just over 1.1 million. Duveau folded quickly but Messina took a minute to call.

Moolhuizen: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Messina: {J-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Spades} to make Messina a set.
