Lombardo Decimated by Cosmin's Shove

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nica Cosmin raised to 6,000 in early position. Simone Lombardo three-bet to 18,500 from the button. Cosmin fired back with a four-bet all-in for 115,000 and was snap called by the Italian.

Nica Cosmin: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Simone Lombardo: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop of {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} gave a glimmer of hope to Cosmin, the {a-Hearts} put the Romanian ahead. There was no help for Lombardo on the {5-Diamonds} river and loses a hefty chunk of his stack.

Level 12 Eliminations

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Strangeways in the Clink

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Paul Strangeways moved all-in for 41,500 from under the gun and was called by Luigi D'Alterio to his direct left. Everyone else folds.

Paul Strangeways: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Luigi D'Alterio: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Strangeways walked into D'Alterio's pocket aces and there was no help on a board of {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Strangeways heads to the exit.

Guertler Knocks One Out

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Florian Guertler open jammed from early position for 54,000. Action folded to Thomas Noske and he called off his shorter stack from the big blind.

Thomas Noske: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Florian Guertler: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Guertler paired up on the {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop and busted his opponent after the {8-Diamonds} turn and {10-Clubs} river.

River Gives Heggelmann Chip Lead

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Niko Heggelmann
Niko Heggelmann

Niko Heggelmann opened to 6,500 from the hijack before Koppany Balogh made it 18,000 on the button. Heggelmann four-bet to 56,000 and Balogh paused. He waited about 30 seconds before moving all-in for 137,500.

Heggelmann, who was the covering stack, asked for a count. He eventually slid in his chips to set up the all-in showdown.

Koppany Balogh: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Niko Heggelmann: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Balogh had his opponent drawing extremely thin on the {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop and looked to scoop a massive double on the {3-Hearts} turn.

For some reason, Balogh called for a ten on the river. And that's exactly what came in the form of the {10-Diamonds} river.

The table erupted and Balogh congratulated Heggelmann who let out a huge sigh of relief.

Lothar Wolz moved all-in preflop for 52,000 and was called by Uwe Matthias.

Lothar Wolz: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Uwe Matthias: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

A cooler for Wolz and there was no help on a board of {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and is eliminated.
