High Roller: Diego Zeiter Working His Way Back

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Diego Zeiter
Diego Zeiter

Diego Zeiter raised almost all in with {q-Spades}{9-Hearts} from the cutoff, leaving just one chip back. Viktor Ustimov announced call in the cutoff. The remaining players folded and Ustimov tabled {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}, not realising Zeiter wasn't all in.

Zeiter's remaining chip went in on the {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{a-Diamonds} flop and Ustimov called. The turn {8-Hearts} and river {8-Spades} did not help Ustimov and Zeiter doubled up.

A short while later, Leon Tsoukernik raised to 250,000 from the button with {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Diego Zeiter three-bet all in for 1,050,000 from the big blind with {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Tsoukernik called.

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Zeiter avoided a potential chop to double up again.

Christmas Time for Karlic

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Gerald Karlic was smiling all over his face while stunned players at the table looked at the massive stack of the Austrian. Pierre Neuville even asked "is it your birthday?" and Karlic explained that he had just busted an opponent in rather bizarre fashion.

On a {K-Spades}{J-}{7-Spades} flop, Karlic faced a bet of 200,000 into a pot of 450,000 to move all in with {6-Spades}{5-Spades} for a flush draw. His sole opponent rather quickly called and tabled {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} to see another spade improve Karlic. Some players at the table were guessing that the other player must have misread his hand and thought he had the nut flush draw.

Either way, Karlic now sits atop the counts for Day 1b at the end of level five.

Leon Tsoukernik raised to 300,000 with {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} from the cutoff, and Yunus Tuguz three-bet all in for 920,000 with {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} from the button. Tsoukernik called.

There was a Jack on a flop of {4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades} boosting Tsoukernik into the lead. The turn was another deuce, the {2-Hearts} and the river was the {j-Spades} sealing Tuguz's fate.

Hayward Loses a Bigger Pot

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

Maxim Panyak raised to 20,000 and Jonathan Hayward called in the cutoff, before the small blind three-bet to 65,000. Both Panyak and Hayward called and the flop fell {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}. A continuation bet by the small blind was called by both opponents before the {2-Diamonds} turn was checked to Hayward. The Brit bet 130,000 and Panyak called, the {4-Diamonds} river was then checked through.

Panyak showed {8-Spades}{5-Spades} and Hayward sighed, then mucked before telling a friend on the rail that he had pocket sevens.

High Roller: From Three Big Blinds to Chip Lead

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

It folded to Leon Tsoukernik in the small blind who shoved all in with {a-Spades}{5-Spades}. Diego Zeiter called all in for his tournament life from the big blind for 2,250,000 and showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

Despite Tsoukernik picking up an open-ended straight draw on the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} turn, the river was the {6-Hearts} meaning Zeiter doubled up. He has now taken over the chip lead from Tsoukernik.

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.

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.

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.
