Sweet Sixteen Plays Down to One on the Final Day of the Grand Big Wrap Main Event
The Grand Big Wrap festival at King’s Resort in Rozvadov concludes today with the final day of the €2,350 Main Event, and the question swirling around 15 players’ minds is: can anyone stop Dorel Eldabach from running away with the title?
Eldabach, the Israeli pro who regularly plays in high-stakes cash games, put on a stunning performance at the end of play yesterday on his way to bagging up 5,115,000, far and away the largest stack among the 16 returning players. Only Adolf Buettner with 3,740,000 is even within 2,000,000 of his massive chip lead.

A collection of talented players, though, are lurking further down the leaderboard who will try to chase down Eldabach when play resumes at 2 p.m. local time. They include Oswin Ziegelbecker (2,950,000), Seamus Cahill (2,620,000), Joao Estanislau (1,740,000), WSOP bracelet winner Sebastian Langrock (1,415,000), and Jakob Madsen (1,280,000). Quan Zhou, who already won the Diamond High Roller this week in Rozvadov, and Tim Van Loo enter the day near the bottom of the counts with 995,000 and 990,000, respectively.
The action picks up on Level 21 with blinds of 15,000/30,000 and a 30,000 big blind ante. The players are already guaranteed €8,123 for navigating their way this far out of a starting field of 316, but all eyes will be on the €132,400 top prize and trophy. With the average stack of more than 60 big blinds at the start and hour-long levels, the road to the championship could be a long, hard journey today.
The feature table will be streamed on a 30-minute delay on King’s Resort’s YouTube channel. PokerNews will be providing updates as the field plays on to the final table and onward toward the crowning of a champion.

Carmi Gets Langrock Off a Boat
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
On the first hand of the day, Quan Zhou limped in from early position, Eran Carmi called in the cutoff, and Samuel Albeck and Sebastian Langrock came along from the blinds.
The flop came 2♥Q♠2♦ and action checked to Zhou who bet 45,000. Carmi called and Albeck folded before Langrock raised to 180,000.
Zhou got out of the way, but Carmi called to see the 7♠ turn. Langrock then checked and Carmi put in a bet of 380,000.
Langrock tanked for more than a minute before he tossed 7♥2♣ into the muck.
Chip leader Dorel Eldabach has yet to arrive, his massive pile of chips sitting unattended in front of his seat.

Cahill Wins Three-Bet Pot Off Kozub
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Seamus Cahill made it 75,000 to go and Tomasz Kozub three-bet to 270,000 in the cutoff. It folded back to the Irishman and he came along to see the 9♣8♦2♦ flop. Cahill bet the pot and Kozub folded.
Some laughter emerged after when Eran Carmi tried to verify what Cahill had said because of the Irish accent.

Cahill Bets Big on the River; Zhou Repots Macioce
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Seamus Cahill raised to 75,000 in early position and was called by Samuel Albeck in the cutoff and big blind Quan Zhou.
The flop came J♣2♦K♦ and Cahill continued for 100,000. Only Albeck called and both players then checked the A♣ turn.
Cahill fired out another 470,000 on the 2♥ river and Albeck laid down his hand.
The next hand, Albeck and Sebastian Langrock limped in before Matthew Macioce announced pot on the button, raising to 165,000. Zhou then repotted in the small blind and all three opponents quickly folded.

Tim Van Loo Eliminated in 16th Place (€8,123)
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Adolf Buettner limped in with the A♥K♠J♦3♥ and Ali Balci raised small with the K♥Q♣J♣9♦. Jakob Madsen called and Tim Van Loo potted to 375,000 with the A♣K♦K♣3♣, which only Balci called.
The flop came Q♠10♠8♦ and Balci bet the pot, Van Loo called all-in.
Van Loo needed a jack for broadway or running cards to a full house but caught no help on the 6♥ turn and 9♥ river to become the first casualty on the final day.
