Aleksandar Tomovic

Aleksandar Tomovic entered the partypoker German Poker Championship Day 1c Turbo halfway through in level four of eight and proceed to blitz through the pack and turn his 1,000,000 starting stack into 4,650,000.

Tomovic first scored a double up when Kadir Uzunoglu five-bet shoved preflop with {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Tomovic called with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

In level six Tomovic was involved in a three-way all in holding aces to knock out two more opponents, and just before the final level he was again dealt aces and knocked out another victim who had ace-king.

The last Day 1 began at 12 p.m. and at a final count attracted 56 entries. After eight fast and furious levels 42 players remained and were immediately given their new seat draw.

Some of the other notables who made it through to Day 2 include Martin Kabrhel (2,000,800), Benjamin Benoit (2,519,000) and Jonathan Wong (1,420,000).

They don’t have long to wait before they are in action again as Day 2 begins in just a few minutes at 3 p.m. local time with eight one-hour levels scheduled.

The PokerNews live reporting team will continue to bring you coverage of that as well as the Super High Roller that kicks off at 6 p.m. and is set to host a number of stellar poker names.

Pfister Busts van Wesemael

Level 7 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sander van Wesemael had around 270,000 left at the start of the hand and was in the big blind on his new table. The Dutchman defended against a raise by Marcel Pfister and got his stack in with {J-}{10-} on a flop of {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Pfister quickly called with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and the {4-Spades} turn and {3-Hearts} river were both blanks to eliminate van Wesemael.

Aleksandar Tomovic Shoots Down Another Hapless Victim

Level 7 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A series of raises against Aleksandar Tomovic saw his opponent move all in for around 600,000 and Tomovic called.

His opponent tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} with a fair degree of confidence. That pretty much evaporated as Tomovic tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Tomovic felted one more.

There is little argument over who will be finishing on top in the turbo with just 20 minutes left in this last level.
