Behzad Zarnegar Claims the Lead of Turbo Heat 1d

Christian Zetzsche

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

After three regular starting days without re-entry, the fourth and final flight of the 2017 PokerStars Festival Hamburg €1,100 Main Event gave all previously eliminated players the chance to take another shot at the guaranteed prize pool of €500,000. Once the registration was closed at the end of level six, the tournament screens showed an additional 114 entries and the total field size was boosted to 567 entries, surpassing the guarantee to create a prize pool of €549,990.

Once the bags were given out after 12 levels of 20 minutes each, only 50 hopefuls remained and Behzad Zarnegar emerged at the top of the counts with 191,600. The business man from Kiel has recorded most of his results here in the Casino Schenefeld and sent Soenke Jahn to the rail in the last level of the night when his seven-six suited bested the ace-queen of the German.

That pot helped Zarnegar to edge past Claudio Celenza (171,000) and Vedran Mandic (170,500), while Adriatik Agalliu (140,700), Ulrich Pauls (138,400) and Twitch streamer Murat Tuelek (136,300) all claimed above-average stacks for Day 2. Other notables that bagged up on Day 1d include Andrey Andreev (112,900), [Removed:19] (97,600), Martin Mulsow (62,000), Johnny Hansen (51,000) and Mick Graydon (43,600).

2015 Eureka Hamburg Main Event champion Tom Holke highlighted the first part of the day and was involved in almost every hand at his table. Holke's chips went on a roller coaster ride and it eventually came to a crashing end at the hands of Andrey Andreev. Right after sitting down the Russian doubled through Holke and finished him off some time later when calling the shove of Holke on the river of a paired queen-high board with four-three for second pair and no kicker. Holke was caught bluffing with ten-eight for a busted gutshot and joined the rail.

Andreev also sent Jan Timo Jobmann to the rail when flopping trips sevens with seven-six suited to crack the pocket jacks of the 2017 World Series of Poker International Circuit Rozvadov ring winner. Further notables to run out of chips entirely include Aleksandar Tomovic, Waldemar Kopyl, €2,200 High Roller champion Andre Haneberg, Nicholas Galtos, Thang Duc Nguyen and Jamila von Perger.

Andreev Takes Out Holke

Shirley Ang

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The PokerNews live reporting team saw Tom Holke get up from his table and went over there to see what had happened.

Andrey Andreev had in front of him on a board and the pot was being awarded to him.

Hamza Miri was kind enough to recount what had happened: "That was an amazing pot. Holke raised to 5,500 for no reason and Andreev called from the button. I folded queen-nine in the big blind. The flop came nine-queen-nine and they both checked. The turn was the four. Holke bet 5,000 and Andreev called. The river was a three, Holke shoved for about 20,000 and Andreev snap-called with a four and the best kicker! Holke had ten-eight off-suit!"

While Miri was telling all of this, the whole table laughed.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante
