The players in the hyper-turbo are currently on their first break of the night. At the moment there are 100 unique players that have entered and 18 re-entries. In about five minutes the late registration and re-entry period will end and the final details will be announced.
The player in the cutoff limped but Milan Muck raised to 15,100 from the button. The player in the big blind shoved all in, the player in the cutoff folded. Muck asked for a count and the dealer counted the chips of his opponent out. The other player had gone all-in for 68,400 in total. Muck counted that amount out from his stack and called.
Milan Muck:
Big Blind:
The board ran out - Muck hit an ace on the turn and that was more than enough to eliminate the other player.
No sooner had the dealer spread the flop on table 19, than Stefan Bielich and Sebastian Strauch were racing to get all of their chips over the line. Bielich beat Strauch into the pot, fast-rolling his for the nut straight with the backdoor nut flush draw. Strauch was miles behind with for top pair and a straight draw. He needed an ace for a chop or running cards for a full house.
The on the turn was a huge brick, with Bielich now unable to lose the pot. He was only required to dodge an ace, which he did as the river slapped the felt, dragging in the huge pot, worth almost double the 96,800 average stack with 190 players left.
Jan-Peter Jachtmann walked away from his table but the partypoker Pro was kind enough to tell our live reporting team what happened.
"Someone opened to 6,500, another player called. I was sitting in the small blind with queen-ten of hearts and shoved all-in. The player in the big blind woke up with kings and called. The rest folded. I did hit a queen on the board but nothing else." he said.
As the hyper-turbo just started, we asked him if he was planning to play that one.
"It just started, right?" he asked. We confirmed that fact. "Yeah, I'll buy in for that one now" he said as he walked towards the partypoker registration desk.
Joachim Huth raised to 6,000 from the hijack in an unopened pot, with Sorin Lica calling next to act, and Peter Janotka making it 60,000 on the button. Wenchao Chen then moved all-in for a little over 75,000 from the small blind. Huth wasted no time getting his last 61,000 chips in, either, with Lica folding and Janotka sighing before commiting the rest of his stack.
Chen
Huth
Janotka
Janotka was already half way there, flopping top pair on . The dealer burned and turned paint but, unfortunately for Chen, it was the . The completed the runout, missing both players as Huth held on to triple up. Chen took the small sidepot, as Janotka headed to the rail.
