Day 3 Started

Eight Players Remain for the Final Day of the PokerNews Cup in Rozvadov

After almost 29 levels, four starting days and two tournament days, the 1,104-entry strong field of the €225+€25 Main Event of the PokerNews Cup at the King's Casino in Rozvadov has been whittled down to the last eight hopefuls.

The finalists have €4,460 guaranteed thus far, but all eyes are set on the first-place payout of €44,707 and the bragging rights that come along with it.

Germany's Ronny Voth led after Day 1a, won the Pot-Limit Omaha Side Event, and finished Day 2 atop with 9,125,000 after a strong last few levels. He is followed by Alin-Florin Toma with 7,185,000 and King's regular Magic Man 558 follows in third place with 5,735,000.

Timur Caglan has had a few final tables here at Europe's biggest card room, but those were all smaller cashes and this will be his biggest payday thus far. Caglan comes into Day 3 with 3,615,000 followed by Ondrej Vlašánek (2,535,000) and Austria's Christian Sperrer (2,275,000).

Miroslav Lelek lost a massive pot in the last hand of Day 2 when his aces were cracked by Toma's kings and he carried over 1,280,000, the other short stack is Rikk Effendi with 1,090,000.

In the second hand of the final table, the action folded to Miroslav Lelek in the small blind and he open-shoved for 1,260,000. In the big blind, Ondrej Vlasanek quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Lelek: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Vlasanek: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The {K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop improved Vlasanek to a pair of kings while Lelek had middle pair and the nut flush draw. Neither the {9-Spades} turn nor the {6-Clubs} river changed anything and Lelek was eliminated.

Aces for Ondrej Vlasanek

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
