Big Slick Spells the End for Zycinski

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was joined as Kasjusz Zycinski had his remaining stack, roughly 25,000, all in and at risk versus Oscar Arezzo.

Kasjusz Zycinski: AQ All in
Oscar Arezzo: AK

The flop and turn offered hope of a chopped pot, coming out 8457, but the K river only served to improve Arezzo to top pair, seeing Zycinski eliminated.

Three Way All In, Ortgiese Eliminated

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was picked up with three players all in preflop. Nils Ortgiese was the shortest of the trio, committing his last 14,000, while Killian Farrell was also at risk for 74,500. Both players were covered by Anthony Burguiere, who had them both in danger of elimination.

Nils Ortgiese: A9 All in
Killian Farrell: AQ All in
Anthony Burguiere: 1010

The flop 8Q3 saw Farrell shoot into the lead, and it would stay that way on the 9 turn and 5 river runout.

Ortgiese headed toward the exit as the dealer slid a pile of chips towards Farrell, leaving Burguiere short-stacked.

Maximum Value for Cortorillo

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Francesco Cortorillo
Francesco Cortorillo

The action was joined as three players had gone to a 254 flop, with roughly 40,000 already in the middle.

Francesco Cortorillo, playing from the small blind, placed a bet of 14,500, seeing one opponent fold, but Sebastian Mortensen called in the cutoff.

The 6 turn saw Cortorillo continue for once again, this time for 22,000, and again, Mortensen called.

The board was completed with the 7 river, and Cortorillo opted to move all in, covering his opponent's stack of 63,000. Mortensen took a minute or so to consider before electing to call.

It was bad news for Mortensen, as his rivered pair with A7, was unable to beat the 99 of Cortorillo.

Luigi D'alterio: AJ All in
Fabio Aprile: KK

Despite improving to top pair, D'alterio wasn't able to crack his opponent's pocket kings, as the board ran out 756J3, seeing him head to the rail.

Burguiere Takes from Nyberg

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Tommy Nyberg put his big stack to use, raising to 3,500 from the cutoff. Only Anthony Burguiere called, playing from the small blind.

The dealer spread a J59 flop, which saw Burguiere check-call a bet of 4,500.

Burguiere again check-called on the K turn, this time for a more substantial bet of 10,500.

The flush-completing 6 river saw the action slow down, and when both players checked, Burguiere flipped over his KQ, which was good enough to win the pot.
