Plum Boosts Stack Right Away

Christian Zetzsche

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jakub Koleckar had lost a bigger portion of his stack and then left the table with a grin on his face with the cards already in the muck. His chips were pushed to Mikkel Plum, who dealt the final blow with the J♣10♣9♣7♠.

That was good enough for two pair on the J♦10♥3♥6♣2♦ runout.

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Quan Zhou wasted little time before getting involved in the action after he had entered during the break. He won the €10,000 Diamond High Roller yesterday but found no fortune in today's High Roller contest.

In a heads-up pot with Jakub Koleckar, Zhou faced a bet of 5,000 on the A♠Q♦3♣ flop and quickly folded.

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Matthew Macioce raised to 3,000 and received three callers including Benjamin Alacam in the big blind.

As they headed to the 8♠5♣2♦ flop, Alacam shrugged and then announced a pot-sized bet worth 12,800. Macioce quickly folded, Guenter Halak checked his cards twice and came to the same conclusion.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Peter Lieber raised to 2,000 and picked up four callers. Vasyl Pidhrushnyi then potted to 14,600 in the small blind and Roland Kraenzle called, as did Massimiliano Zanasi.

The 6♣4♣4♥ flop saw Pidhrushnyi bet the pot and Kraenzle jammed, Zanasi folded and Pidhrushnyi called.

Vasyl Pidhrushnyi: A♦A♥8♦6♥
Roland Kraenzle: 10♥8♣7♣5♥

Pidhrushnyi was ahead with his aces but it was a virtual flip against the wrap and flush draw. Nothing changed with the K♦ turn and 4♠ river to let Pidhrushnyi double for 69,100.

Oleksandr Sadovyi	210,000 50,000	50,000

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Only Guenter Halak check-called a bet of 3,000 by Sebastian Juhlen on the Q♠Q♣6♣ flop before both checked the 3♥ turn. On the [10c[ river, Halak checked and subsequently called another 5,000 but placed the chip near his opponent already.

Juhlen tabled his A♣K♣J♣9♥ for a flush and took down the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a duel hijack versus button, Romain Nattaf took on Alfredo Vega Meister and the latter jammed the 10♣4♦3♦5♥5♠ river only for Nattaf to snap him off.

When Vega Meister saw the K♠Q♦5♣5♦ for back door quads, he briefly tossed his cards to the middle of the table before quickly heading out of the tournament area.
