Durnegger Lucky to Eliminate Lavi

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

From the hijack, Viktor Lavi shoved all in for 36,200. Markus Durnegger announced a call on the button. The small blind tank-folded and the big blind mucked right away.

Durnegger: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Lavi: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, giving Durnegger a winning boat.

Robinson Among Big Stacks

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Colin Robinson defended his big blind against a raise by Mattia Baccassino and check-called a bet of 8,300 on the {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop. Both ended up checking through the {A-Diamonds} turn and the {9-Clubs} river and Robinson sighed before turning over the winning {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. Right after he won another pot when his sole opponent called a bet of 9,500 on the {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} river.

Robinson turned over {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for top pair and his opponent said "you three-outered me."

The fireworks came soon after when Jakutis Povilas lost 60% of his stack to Yury Kanunnikov after being unable to beat the {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} of the Russian on a board of {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Walfridsson Passes 500K

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Erik Walfridsson and he raised from the small blind, proceeding to snap-call when big blind Maxim Klopotok jammed for about 85,000.

Walfridsson: {a-}{a-}
Klopotok: {5-}{5-}

The flop came {q-}{9-}{j-} and the turn an {8-}, so Walfridsson generously suggested a ten fall so they chop. The river was a {4-}, though.

Michaelis with a Big Stack

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Paul Michaelis is close to 500,000 in chips and the WSOP bracelet winner from Germany recalled the hand that peopelled his stack a lot.

According to Michaelis, he faced a raise to 5,000 by Igor Dubinskyy and the player on the button called. Michaelis made it 23,000 to go and just Dubinskyy called. On a {K-}{4-}{3-} flop he bet 15,000 into 50,000 and Dubinskyy called before doing so again for 50,000 on a {10-} turn.

The {3-} river paired the board and Michaelis moved all in for effectively 90,000, as that's what Dubinskyy had left. The Ukrainian called with ace-king and Michaelis had pocket tens for a turned set and rivered full house.

Omid Mojaverian still seems the man to beat in the last level of the night, though, while Boris Kolev also nears half a million in chips.

Adams Eliminated

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Thomas Mercier opened the button for 6,200 and small blind Jean-Jacques Zeitoun called. Big blind Timothy Adams squeezed all in for 57,600 and Mercier tanked long before releasing his cards into the muck.

Now it was Zeitoun with the decision and he tanked for a bit before deciding to call.

Jean-Jacques Zeitoun: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Timothy Adams: {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The flop came {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Adams asked for a seven. Instead, the {K-Diamonds} hit and Adams now asked for a king. He got neither an no ace would appear either. The {2-Spades} hit and Adams started to gather his things before exiting.

Varnica Eliminated

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Ante Varnica got his last 100,000 or so in preflop with {10-}{10-} but early opener Cathal Shine had him beat with {j-}{j-}. The board ran out devoid of help for Varnica and he took his leave.

Heidorn Sends O'Dwyer to the Rail

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Robert Heidorn won a big flip with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} against the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of Konstantin Farber and soon after busted Steve O'Dwyer.

Heidorn three-bet out of the small blind and O'Dwyer pushed all in over the top. The initial raiser folded and Heidorn called.

Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Robert Heidorn: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board of {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} ensured that the kicker played and O'Dwyer busted before the money.

Sikora No More

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

James Mitchell had previously built his stack after coolering Dean Hutchison with full house versus full house before taking on Jaroslaw Sikora. The Pole himself doubled a few minutes ago and now three-bet from 7,000 to 25,000. Mitchell called in the cutoff to see a flop of {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Sikora bet 16,500, which Mitchell called. After the {2-Spades} turn, Sikora checked and quickly folded to a bet of 21,000.

Down to around 72,000, Sikora's chips were soon after integrated into the tower of Viliyan Petleshkov to see the EPT12 Prague €10,300 High Roller runner-up and EPT12 Malta third-place finisher bow out in the last level of Day 2.
