It folded to Remi Blanc on the button who raised to 7,000. Asmo Votkin was in the small blind and he three-bet to 165,00. The big blind folded and action was back on Blanc. He four-bet all in for 82,500.
Votkin snap-called and showed while Blanc sheepishly turned over .
However, there was a ten in the window of a flop, and there was to be no jack or ace for Votkin as the turn and river were dealt.
The seat of Lazer Gjergji is empty and Baris Ginitas was stacking even more chips. Timur Caglan, who was involved in the bustout hand of Gjergji, was kind enough to provide the details.
Ginitas raised to 7,000 and Caglan called in the small blind, as did Gjergji from the big blind. On a flop of , Gjergji check-raised all in against a 13,000 c-bet by Ginitas and a call by Caglin. The former called with while the latter folded and Gjergji showed for the open-ender.
Both turn and river bricked and Ginitas boosted his stack further.
With 60,000 chips in the middle, Krzysztof Misiura checked to Marek Blasko who bet 30,000. The board read and Misiura took his time fondling the chips to make the call before calmly placing them over the betting line to indicate a call.
Blasko turned over for a full house, queens full of fours, and took down the pot. With that pot he moved up well over 150,000 with the average hoving just underneath 140,000.
Several players are hot on the heels of chip leader Michal Riczak and among those is Baris Ginitas. He just got into a raising war with Lazer Gjergji and clicked it up to 17,000 on the button. Gjergji four-bet to 37,000 and Ginitas moved all in.
"Do you have kings? Ace-king no good?" Gjergji asked and received no reply. Another minute passed and the Czech mucked to forfeit the pot.
Johan Groot defended his big blind against a raise to 7,000 by Paulius Katinas. On the flop, Groot checked and called a bet of 10,000 by Katinas before doing so again for 15,500 on the turn.
Groot then checked the river and Katinas moved forward a stack of T-5,000 chips, which saw the Dutchman quickly call all in for his last 44,000. Katinas knew he was beat and showed for a busted open-ender, while Groot turned over for a flush to double.
Players are going on their final break of the day. When they return there will be just two 30-minute levels separating the remaining 24 players from booking their place in Day 2.
Sylvain Partouche stood up from his chair, sighed and witnessed how his stack was sent over to Michal Riczak. Apparently, Partouche's pocket kings ended up second-best to the of Riczak on a board of and the Frenchman was eliminated.
Right after, Riczak looked up a short stack for around 35,000 and tabled . The player at risk held and Riczak tapped the table with the words "good luck." Everyone on the table could all but smirk when the flop fell , and Riczak locked up the second consecutive elimination with the turn before even improving to a full house with the river.
