2026 King's Million European Poker Championship
The pot stood at around 400,000 with two players looking at a board of 4♥8♥3♥6♦.
Xerxes I, in the big blind, checked the action to Andrei Cosmin, in the cutoff. Cosmin bet out 400,000, and Xerxes I moved all-in for 1,325,000. Cosmin snap-called.
Cosmin: A♥A♣
Xerxes I: K♥9♥
The K♦ river saw Xerxes I's flopped flush send Cosmin to the rail.
Vladimir Andjelic was all in from the big blind, at risk against Somar Al-Darwich across the table.
Vladimir Andjelic: 10♥3♥
Somar Al-Darwich: 9♣7♥
Andjelic clapped in approval after making a flush on the 10♥J♥9♥A♥J♦ runout, earning the double-up through Al-Darwich.
The action was caught as Pink Punther, who was under the gun, found himself all in and at risk against Andrea Marchi, in the big blind.
Pink Punther: J♣J♠
Andrea Marchi: A♦K♠
The 10♥2♥J♥ flop gave Punther a set; however, Marchi gained a gutshot straight draw. The 8♥ turn brought some chop outs, but it was the Q♠ river that gave Marchi Broadway to send Punther to the rail.
Sergiu Covrig was all in and at risk against Frane Letica, with the cards on their backs at table 103.
Sergiu Covrig: A♦Q♦
Frane Letica: K♠9♠
Both players revealed their suited hands, but it was Covrig connecting with the Q♥7♦10♣2♣8♦ runout to earn a big double-up. That left Letica short, and his stack was gone shortly after when he ran into pocket kings.
Level: 25
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 80,000
With the pot standing at around 500,000 and two players looking at a board of 9♥J♣4♠10♥, Paul Runcan, in middle position, bet out 405,000. Axel Bayout, on the button, called.
The 4♦ river saw Runcan bet again, this time for 1,020,000. Bayout tanked before moving all-in for 1,700,000. Runcan called.
Axel Bayout: K♠Q♦
Paul Runcan: A♥A♦
Bayout turned Broadway to crack Runcan's aces, ensuring him the full double.
Vladimir Andjelic used a time bank card before opening to 200,000 from under the gun, and David Kozma called in middle position. Ludovic Freymuth defended his big blind, and a trio of checks followed the 9♥8♣8♦ flop.
Freymuth led out for 300,000 on the 5♠ turn, and Andjelic used another time bank before folding. Kozma made the call, and Freymuth checked the 7♥ river.
Kozma counted out a bet of 1,100,000, and Freymuth took a moment before tossing in a single calling chip. Kozma tabled 7♣7♦ for a full house, while Freymuth frustratingly showed 10♣10♥ as he paid off the river bet.
Harekrishna raised from the button, and Vasilis Nikolas defended in the big blind.
The 2♣Q♠3♠ flop saw Nikolas play in flow. Harekrishna bet out 100,000, and Nikolas check-raised to 325,000. Harekrishna called.
The 7♥ turn saw Nikolas move all-in. Harekrishna tanked for a while before calling off the bet with his effective stack of around 800,000.
Harekrishna: A♣10♠
Vasilis Nikolas: Q♦5♠
The 3♥ changed nothing, and Harekrishna was sent to the rail.
