Efe Straightened Out by Amar

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Seref Amar's {a-Spades}{3-Spades} earned a knockout as he made the wheel on the {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} board. His opponent Aziz Efe was narrowly covered as the stacks were counted but the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} were no good to send Efe to the rail just shy of making Day 2.

Mustafov and Chouity Among the Big Stacks

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nicolas Chouity check-called a bet by Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy on the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop and the {2-Hearts} turn was checked. Chouity bet the {k-Diamonds} river for 7,000 and Merzhvinskiy surrendered. It was just a small pot for Chouity but he has amassed a big stack so far, which only trails the tower in front of Fahredin Mustafov on the same table.

"Jack nine?" Mustafov inquired and Chouity replied "there is no jack in my hand" while dragging in the chips and enjoying a massage.

Semaska Takes It on the Flop

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a three-way flop of {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Vytautas Semaska bet 5,000 in the small blind and Thom Greben called in the hijack. Erik Bauer raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and Semaska then reraised to 60,000. Greben folded and so did Bauer.

"I will show if you show," Bauer offered and Semaska instead suggested they both show one card. Bauer revealed the {9-Clubs} and Semaska flashed the {k-Hearts}. "I am glad you showed that card," Bauer replied and then put his opponent on king-nine.

Torbey Offers It; Fal Takes It

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heads-up action on the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop saw Nikolay Fal and Jacques Torbey invest 8,000 each. They checked the {k-Spades} turn and Fal then bet the {10-Spades} river for 8,000.

"Will you show if I fold? How much are you playing?" Torbey inquired. Fal revealed he had 100,000 behind and Torbey folded with the words "okay, take it." Fal returned the favour and flashed the {a-Clubs} before collecting the pot.

Zakharov Shows Another Bluff

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

"He bluffed the previous time and showed. He showed again and it still works," Bart Lybaert joked as Ivan Zakharov raked in the pot. Zakharov bet the {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} turn for 55,000 into 120,000 and his opponent surrendered. Zakharov revealed {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a cheeky bluff and jumped above the average,

Small Pot for Alakzam

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The three-way flop showed {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Fadi Alakzam announced a bet of 6,600 in the cutoff. Sonia-Veronika Shashikhina called in the small blind and both players then opted to check down the {j-Diamonds} turn. The {a-Hearts} river brought no action either and Alakzam tabled {q-Spades}{10-Hearts} as the winning hand.

The {9-Clubs} river completed the board and Niste then bet 75,000 with around 100,000 behind. Wyrzykiewicz studied his opponent and the board for some time before sending the cards into the muck.

Current Big Stacks

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Among others, it appears that two players have already cracked more than half a million in chips but there doesn't seem to be a runaway chip leader yet. The final level of the night has just commenced.
