We're down to 220 players and, with 215 of those scoring an additional €50, players are starting to tighten up somewhat. It seems every shove is getting through, although some players are starting to get a little suspicious of big river bets, assuming that every else is abusing the bubble.
Roger Cutig, for example, made a light river call versus Abdul Yazici on a board reading , with Yazici showing him for a straight.
The last of the partypoker pros, Natalia Breviglieri, has just bust Grand Prix Austria.
As her stack started to dwindle, she made her move with running into and failing to improve. She told us her plan now is to head back to the hotel and put in a long Sunday tournament session in on partypoker.
A pay jump has been reached where the next 60 players to bust will take home an extra €50 on top of the €250 they had already cashed. Unfortunately, the following players won't be doing that:
Dimitrios Nanos opened under the gun to 35,000 with Goran Hristovski calling on the button, and Alexander Halmenschlager defending from the big blind.
All three players checked the flop, and the turn, before Nanos threw out three orange 25,000-value chips on the river. Hristovski folded immediately, but Halmenschlager wasn't so easily convinced, and he committed the chips to make the call. Nanos tabled for two pair, and dragged in the pot that brough his stack back into seven-figure territory.
Adem Marjanovic has had his foot on full throttle for a while now, running over table 22. After Ioana-Diena Oprea limped in from early position, Marjanovic quickly hit the raise button, throwing out a single blue 100,000-value chip, raising to the full amount. Action folded back round to Oprea, who considered her option for a minute or so before declaring all-in.
Marjanovic's chips hit the felt before Oprea's, as he tabled , which was flipping versus . The flop afforded Marjanovic some gutshot outs to go with his overs, but the turn bricked the , and the river paired the , and the dealer shipped the pot Oprea's way.
"Brave," was all Marjanovic could mutter, as he put his shades back on.
