Fabian Scoops Six-Bet Pot

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

After a raise from Samuiel Ionel Stan from early position and a reraise from Stefan Fabian in middle position, it was back on Stan. He four-bet to 6,500, which was met by a five-bet to 12,700 from Fabian. Stan wasn't done yet, as he cut out a six-bet to 20,000. Fabian called the extra chips to see a flop.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and both players checked. On the {J-Hearts} turn, Stan bet 7,000 and Fabian called. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Stan checked. Fabian moved all in, which was for effectively Stan's remaining 23,000. The Romanian grimaced when Fabian put his stack in the middle.

"Pocket jacks?" Stan asked, but Fabian didn't respond. After contemplating some more, Stan couldn't find a call and surrendered the pot to Fabian.

Samoon Bests Two Players

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

The full board of {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Diamonds} was spread in front of three players, with both Mayan Shih and Yakov Samoon checking to the third player in the hand Adrian Lazar who bet 6,500. Shih called and then Samoon called behind him.

Lazar showed {6-Spades}{9-Spades} for nine-high. Shih showed {a-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a pair of aces, but Samoon had them all beat with {j-Spades}{q-Clubs} for trip queens.

"I knew I had him," said Shih, pointing to Lazar, "Just...f*** the Queen, man!"

Iacob Eliminated by Goeschel

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

A player opened to 1,200 in middle position. Marc Goeschel flatted in the small blind before Adrian Iacob moved all in for 10,500 from the big blind. The initial raiser folded and Goeschel called.

Goeschel: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Iacob: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and by the time the {q-Hearts} came on the turn Iacob had already gotten to his feet. The dealer added to the tension somewhat as he paused after burning before the river, and then swiftly turning over the {j-Hearts} to seal Iacob's fate.

With the board reading {2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, Gudas Zygimantas had 5,500 in front of him. Fahredin Mustafov check-raised to 19,000, Zygimantas moved all in, and Mustafov snap-called.

Gudas Zygimantas: {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Fahredin Mustafov: {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Zygimantas needed to hit one of the diamonds to improve against Mustafov's nut straight but the {8-Hearts} river didn't deliver. The Bulgarian grinder, who has almost $400,000 in lifetime winnings, knocked out Zygimantas and moved up to over 100,000 in chips.

"Ace-King?" asked tablemate and 2016 Eureka Bucharest champion Avishai Shitrit. Alzam duly turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.
