Mawick Busts Two

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Carsten Mawick
Carsten Mawick

The cards were just being swept away, but Carsten Mawick had just eliminated Oleg Drews and Tommaso Marangi, holding queens and ace-king respectively, with pocket eights - flopping a set on a board that also featured an ace, with the money presumably going in preflop.

Mawick moves to 750,000 - might he be the player to catch Ludovic Uzan at the top of the Day 2 standings? He'll have to double his stack from here to do so.

Rimmer Gets Three Streets

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Giovanni Caggia opened to 6,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 21,500 by Charlie Rimmer in the small blind. Action back to Caggia, who called.

Rimmer continued with a bet of 18,000 on the K76 flop, and Caggia called.

The 2 hit on the river, and Rimmer fired again, putting out a bet of 25,000. Caggia again quickly called.

The 2 river paired the board, and Rimmer went for the triple-barrel, sliding out a bet of 50,000. Caggia called promptly, but was shown the bad news when Rimmer tabled AK for top pair kings, forcing Caggia to muck.

Raimund Longbottom jammed for 22,500 from the button and was looked up by Giuseppe Dedoni in the big blind.

Raimund Longbottom: 97 All in
Giuseppe Dedoni: A10

Longbottom needed some help, and he got it as he smashed the Q77 flop, the K turn and 5 river completing the runout.

Bamford Running Up a Stack

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jordan Bamford is on his third bullet in this flight, but it could be third time lucky. He is up to 295,000 after busting Salvatore Genovese - Bamford held KK on the 10610J5 runout, while Genovese had KJ, the chips going in preflop.

Set for Arigo

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Massimo Arigo jammed from middle position for 36,000 and was looked up by Lorenzo Pannunzi in the big blind.

Massimo Arigo: 77 All in
Lorenzo Pannunzi: KQ

It was off to the races, but Arigo flopped top set on the 762 flop. It still wasn't sweat free from there, as his opponent turned a flush draw with the J turn.

Much to Arigo's relief, the 5 river was a brick, sending him the double-up.
