Baltaci, Polek Bust on the Bubble
The tournament staff attended to a pair of players at risk on the direct bubble, with action on table 60 playing out first.
Firat Baltaci moved all in from under the gun and was called by Philipp Taborsky, in middle position.
Firat Baltaci: 10♣10♠
Philipp Taborsky: 9♣9♥
Baltaci was in great shape on the stone bubble until the dealer revealed the 9♦Q♦8♣ to give Taborsky a set. The 8♦ turn and J♦ river changed nothing, and Baltaci helped burst the bubble.
Meanwhile, at table 602, Adam Polek moved his stack of 122,000 in from middle position and was at risk when Alexandros Michas shoved from the small blind.
Adam Polek: K♠K♣
Alexandros Michas: A♠Q♥
Michas connected with the A♥J♠2♠A♦7♠ runout to make trip aces, cracking Polek's kings to secure another elimination. That left Baltaci and Polek sharing the minimum cash of €2,300, earning €1,150 each.
