First Break of Day 2

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The remaining 38 players out of a 54-entry strong field have been sent into a 15-minute break and the late registration as well as re-entry period remains open for another two levels and the following break.

Dietrich Loses at Showdown; Chips Up Without

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gerald Karlic was on the way out when his {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} were facing the pocket eights of chip leader Moritz Dietrich, who spiked an eight on the {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop. However, the {10-Diamonds} turn gave Karlic a set and the {4-Clubs} river changed nothing anymore.

However, Dietrich got the chips back soon after in a three-way pot with Scott Hanna and Wim Neys. It was Neys that raised to 4,200 and Dietrich flat-called, as did Hanna from the big blinf. The trio checked the {a-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop to Neys, who bet 6,000. Both Dietrich and Hanna called and it was Dietrich who bet the {K-Clubs} turn for 20,000 to scoop the pot uncontested.

Just before the end of the level, Robin Hegele lost his last few chips and joined the rail.

Entries and Re-Entries

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Joseph Oren lost a big portion of his stack when Kenny Hallaert made a ten-high straight and Michael Brandau followed him to the rail soon after. Antonello Capoblanco re-entered and so did Pierre Neuville, while Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier sat down not long ago to boost the field to 52 entries in total, of which 38 remain.

Ensan Re-Enters

Hossein Ensan starts bullet number three with a bang
Hossein Ensan starts bullet number three with a bang

Hossein Ensan chose to re-enter once more, but remained in good spirits as he retook his seat, despite having been knocked out of the High Roller twice already.

He wasted no time getting back into the action, min-raising to 4,000 under the gun before Sander van Wesemeal put in the 3-bet to 11,500. Michal Schuh made the cold-call on the button, with Ensan calling the rest after both blinds folded.

All three players checked an {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, before Ensan threw in a pink 25,000-value chip as the {4-Diamonds} landed on the turn. Both van Wesemeal and Schuh quickly folded, as Ensan starts bullet number three with a bang.

Bitoun and Neuville Eliminated

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Pierre Neuville

With some 35,000 in the middle and the board reading {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Pierre Neuville moved all in and Kacper Pyzara snap-called to turn over {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flopped flush. Neuville only had {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} for trips tens and was sent to the rail.

At almost the same time, Yair Bitoun also ran out of chips. He got it in with {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} against the {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} of Michal Schuh on the {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. Bitoun had plenty of outs, but the {J-Spades} turn and {2-Spades} river were not among them.

Michaelis Takes from Ensan; Sinclair from Kokoska

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Oliver Heidel was eliminated while Paul Michaelis and Jack Sinclair both chipped up without showdown.

Michaelis raised to 4,500 and Hossein Ensan defended the big blind. On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, Ensan checked and called a bet of 5,700 by Michaelis before the duo checked the {7-Clubs} turn. Ensan bet the {Q-Spades} river for 13,000 and Michaelis called after some consideration to win without showdown, as Ensan simply mucked his cards.

As far as Sinclair is concerned, he three-bet an open of Robert Kokoska from 5,000 to 16,000 and Kokoska called. On the {J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, Sinclair continued for 9,000 and Koskoska folded.
