Banks Binks One Before Dinner

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Vadim Lipovka raised to 32,000 and Gary Banks called in the big blind. On the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop, Lipovka continued for 22,000 and was called by Banks before doing so again for 80,000 on the {2-Diamonds} turn. After the {K-Clubs} river, Lipovka bet 180,000 and Banks raised to 575,000.

Lipovka folded the {A-Diamonds} face up and asked "good fold?" to which Banks replied "I think so."

Right after they went on dinner and below are further assorted counts.

A Timely Double for Sapitavicius

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The raise of Arunas Sapitavicius was called by the player in the cutoff and the flop fell {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. The Lithuanian got the remainder of his stack of 464,000 in with the {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and the cutoff called with {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

Sapitavicius immediately got there with the {5-Diamonds} turn to render the {8-Spades} river as a formality. After a long spell way below average, Sapitavicius jumped to the starting stack once again for a fresh start. Jan-Peter Jachtmann registered before the dinner break again and is featured on the same table.

Jachtmann and Romanello Eliminated

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Roberto Romanello
Roberto Romanello

After losing the big pot against Martin Kabrhel, Jan-Peter Jachtmann was sent to the rail soon after. He picked up top pair and a flush draw on a king-high turn only to run into a flopped straight.

As for fellow partypoker Sponsored Pro Roberto Romanello, he got into a raising war with table neighbor Evgeny Talagaev and the 1.6 million pot saw him in prime position to chip up with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} versus {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Unfortunately, Talagaev who had shoved into the Welsh wizard, got there right away with a jack in the window on the board of {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

"I gonna play online now, but will be back tomorrow," Romanello promised. Whether that will be for the turbo heat 1c or during the first levels of Day 2 remains to be seen. The same also applies for Jachtmann.

Three Down on Table 28

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On the river of a board {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, Anatoly Filonenko checked in the small blind and called the shove of Oleksandr Rozumovskyi on the button for 419,000. Rozumovskyi showed {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Filonenko mucked pocket jacks, then left the table. His stack was counted and he had 2,000 left behind, which vanished the next hand as a tiny button ante.

Soon after, Jack Sinclair walked out of the tournament area and he was sitting at the same table before. According to Sinclair, his raise from under the gun with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} was called by all opponents but Rozumovskiy and things went wrong on the {Q-Clubs}{10-}{3-} flop. One player eventually went broke with {Q-}{3-} and Sinclair reluctantly called the reshove of Karen Karamanov for around 300,000 with his middle pair and nut flush draw. Karamanov showed pocket tens for middle set and held up to known out two opponents.

Kabrhel Gets Paid Off

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Marin Kabrhel
Marin Kabrhel

A big pot was brewing on the table of Jan-Peter Jachtmann and it had to be no other than Martin Kabrhel who was involved as well. This time, however, Kabrhel was not talking as much while he bet for 210,000 on the {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} turn. Jachtmann called and the {10-Hearts} river completed the board.

Kabrhel bet 601,000 for two third the pot with 500,000 behind and Jachtmann was sent into the think tank.

"You bet the turn so big, with a set you would not bet so big. Maybe I am totally wrong," Jachtmann added and ultimately called. Kabrhel, who had not set a word during the late stage of the hand, sliently rolled over {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and scooped a big pot.
