Zsombor Ending as Gall is Stoned

The action folded around to Zsombor Gall who raised to 13,500 from the cut-off. Without too much hesitation, Martin Hanitz slid in two stacks worth 40,000 from the big blind.

Gall moved immediately towards his chips, and after meticulously separating columns from his stack, pushed five of them across the line with a single yellow chip to boot - a total reraise to 105,000.

Hanitz sat back in his chair, mulled for a minute, before announcing all-in. Gall swiftly called.

Hanitz = {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Gall {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

He was an underdog before the hand, but by the {7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} he was an underpuppy, and on the {Q-Diamonds} he was drawing dead. The {2-Spades} river was therefore academic, and Hanitz scooped in a monstrous 600,000 pot.

Gall, meanwhile, exited moments later, down to 25,000, his {K-?}{5-?} unable to conquer the {Q-?}{7-?} of James Mitchell. Shell shocked, he exited the room.

Paparestis Doubles Up

Cos Paparestis has doubled through Benjamin Juhasz. Juhasz opened UTG to 13,000 and Paparestis 3-bet to 31,500 from the button with 94,000 behind.

Juhasz shoved and Paparestis called instantly.

Juhasz: {A-Spades} {8-Spades}
Paparestis: {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

Board comes {7-Spades} {k-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} and Paparstis doubles up to 250,000.

Set for Sean

[Removed:248] raised to 13,500 from under the gun and Sean van Slujis made the call in the small blind. However, he hadn't realised that button Peter Murphy had yet to act, but after a ruling was made, van Slujis's bet stood. Murphy called, and likely lured in by implied odds, so did Martin Hantiz in the big blind.

On the {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} flop, van Slujis led for 30,000 and received one caller in initial raiser Freymann. A {Q-Diamonds} turn didn't seem to slow him down as van Slujis fired a second time, 30,000 again. On the {7-Diamonds} river, van Slujis made a curious bet of 6,000 which Freymann called as quickly as he did on the turn, but upon being shown {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for the flopped set, threw his hand into the muck.

Freymann down to 160,000.

Eye of the Tiger

Marty Wilson is showcasing his survival instincts, nurturing his short stack like a newborn. On the last hand, he fingered his chips momentarily before pushing what appeared to be a stack of 30,000 across the line.

"Make my day," he begged. "Double me up."

On this occasion, however, no one obliged, and Wilson picked up the pot with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

"Wahey, we're moving now!"

Two More Down...

Stuart Rutter pushed his last 60,000 or so in with {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} but ran into Sean Van Slujis' {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} after a {K-Spades} {9-Spades} {9-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} board.

Meanwhile [Removed:285] has been knocked out by Richard Robinson when {A-?} {Q-?} failed to hit against {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} on a {4-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} board.

Cagey Play

I'm not sure if there's a specific reason (perhaps nobody fancies a lonesome dinner), but after a hectic start today, the action's really slowed down with most pots being competed between a preflop raiser and a defender in the blind. The hand rarely gets beyond the turn.

Herbert Now Bust

Probably the shortest amount of enjoyment Jason Herbert could enjoy. He got his stack in again with {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} against Rob Sherwood's {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} but there was a fatal bullet on the turn of the {6-Spades} {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades} board which puts Sherwood up to 250,000.
