The Talk on Second Bullet

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante
The Talk
The Talk

The Talk was spotted on his way out of the tournament area but he quickly headed to Samuel Albeck to explain what happened, as he was eliminated in the first level of the day.

According to the German, he turned a set of jacks while Arpad Koevecses had flopped a set of fours. Koevecses picked up a flush draw on the turn and indeed got there with {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} to send The Talk to the registration desk, who re-entered soon after.

Higher Straight for Khruslov

Level 2 : 100/300, 0 ante
Maxim Khruslov
Maxim Khruslov

On a three-way turn of {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Pavol Guris in the big blind, Maxim Khruslov from early position and Arpad Koevecses in the small blind all invested 10,000 each to see the {7-Spades} on the river.

That card proved to kill the action as one after the other checked. Koevecses was first to show and tabled the {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for two pair, Guris had {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a straight and Khruslov had the superior straight with {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} to score a nice pot early on.

Verkhoturov Chips Up

Level 2 : 100/300, 0 ante

On a four-way pot of {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, Irena Macesovic bet 5,000 in the small blind and was called by Mauro Gustamacchia in the big blind. Calogero Lupo folded in the cutoff and Sergei Verkhoturov on the button called.

The {5-Diamonds} followed on the turn and Macesovic checked, as did Gustamacchia. Verkhoturov made it 12,500 to go and that forced folds eventually.

One for Salvatore

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante
Giovanni Salvatore
Giovanni Salvatore

Giovanni Salvatore reached the final day of the €550 Warm Up and soon after sat down to enter the Big Wrap, in which he also chipped up early.

On the {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Jozef Jankovich checked to Salvatore, who bet 2,500 and was called by The Talk and Jankovich. The {8-Hearts} followed on the turn and this time it was just Jankovich who check-called a bet worth 9,000. The {q-Clubs} came on the river and Jankovich check-folded when facing a bet worth 16,000.
