Nesin Wins Flip Against Sadowski

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A raising war broke out between Piotr Sadowski and Dmytro Nesin, and the latter ended up all in and at risk for 77,300.

Piotr Sadowski: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Dmytro Nesin: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop changed nothing just yet, while the {10-Clubs} on the turn seemingly locked up the double for Sadowski. However, the {J-Spades} river completed an unlikely straight for Nesin and he recovered earlier losses to become a big stack again.

Groot Gets Big; Van De Linde Busts

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Ronald Van De Linde
Ronald Van De Linde

There was plenty of action on the table of Johan Groot, Willem de Jong and Ronald Van De Linde.

In a three-way pot to the {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Ali-BabaSVK folded from the button after a bet of 11,600 by Vadim Taller in the small blind and a call by Groot in the big blind. The {A-Diamonds} fell on the river and Taller bet 26,600. Groot raised big, making it 86,000 to go, and that forced a fold.

Groot was relieved and flashed {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Soon after, Taller raised to 6,500 and Van De Linde shoved for 26,700. Ali-BabaSVK moved in over the top and that forced out Taller.

Ronald Van De Linde: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Ali-BabaSVK: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

After a board of {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{A-Spades}, the Dutchman was gone and will likely be back in Day 1d.

Elena Litvinyuk
Elena Litvinyuk

The cards were on their backs between Gintautas Strioga, Elena Litvinyuk and Petr Kotik.

Strioga: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Litvinyuk: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Kotik: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Strioga was in the lead and had both of his opponents covered. The board ran out {6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Spades} and both Litvinyuk and Kotik were eliminated.

Strioga looks to be the first player up over 300,000 chips in the PokerNews Cup Day 1C field.

The Rich Get Richer

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Asmo Votkin all of a sudden showed up with a massive stack of 250,000 and Julius Wuyts also sent a short stack to the rail to become a contender for the Day 1c lead. He raised from the small blind and the player in the big blind shoved for what appeared to be 20,500 with the {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

Wuyts quickly called with {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} and the board came {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs} to leave the player at risk drawing dead on the turn.

Kazgan Eliminates a Player; Otto Soaring

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Martin Kabrhel limped from early position. Onur Kazgan raised to 7,500 from the hijack. It folded to the player in the big blind who three-bet all in for around 20,000. Kabrhel folded and Kazgan flicked in a chip to make the call.

Kazgan: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
All-in player: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts} handing the lead to Kazgan. The turn was the {2-Spades} and the river the {2-Clubs} meaning the all-in player would be eliminated.

Meanwhile at that table, Onkel Otto sits on a healthy stack well over 250,000.

Strioga Scores Double Knockout to Take the Lead

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Gintautas Strioga
Gintautas Strioga

On the three-way flop of {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, Gintautas Strioga bet 15,000 and Jiri Kotvas moved all in for 25,400 from one seat over. Cenk Oguz moved all in over the top and Strioga quickly called.

Jiri Kotvas: {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Cenk Oguz: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Gintautas Strioga: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades} on the turn immediately left both opponents drawing dead, making the {7-Clubs} river a formality. Strioga's stack skyrocketed up and the Lithuanian took the top spot.
