[Removed:198] Doubles

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

On a flop of {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Spades}, [Removed:197] check-raised all in for his last 17,700 and Jean Paul Zaffran called after having invested 6,100.

[Removed:197]: {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}
Jean Paul Zaffran: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Both the {2-Spades} turn and the {8-Spades} river completed a back door flush for [Removed:198] and he doubled up. Fellow short stack Viliyan Petleshkov was less fortunate and joined the rail.

Rauta Gets Shorter

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

Without showdown, Randy Lew has been able to get back up to 200,000 and took a lot of chips off Dorin Rauta. The latter just three-bet to 11,500 after a raise by Paul Skipper and then folded to the shove of the Brit. Below are some further big stacks entering the last level of the night.

Schulze Knocks Out Fergiatakis

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

After a raise by Stefan Schulze, Bart Fergiatakis got his last eleven big blinds in with pocket sevens. The action folded back to Schulze, who called with {K-}{J-}, and the board ran out {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. This leaves 38 players remaining towards the end of level 13, and one further level is scheduled for tonight.

Down to the Last Five Tables

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

Soon after losing more than half of his stack to Vlado Banicevic, Krzysztof Dulowski was eliminated. Nicolas Szulc busted at almost the same time on a different table and that reduced the field to just 39 hopefuls. One table broke to balance the remaining participants.

Jokes, chips and payout info from the ME and HR

Arturs Scerbaks leads in the Main Event
Arturs Scerbaks leads in the Main Event

"A woman goes to see a doctor in the USA to get her test results. The doctor says 'First you have to pay me. It costs $302.' The woman reaches into her wallet and hands the doctor $300. The doctor looks at the money, looks at the woman, and says 'tumour'."

It's clear to me now why the players remaining in the PokerStars Festival Rozvadov Main Event are sat down playing cards instead of on stage telling jokes.

Rosen Sends Buss to the Rail

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

After a small raise by Walter Buss from early position, Oren Rosen called on the button and the flop fell {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Buss checked and Rosen bet 5,200, before the Belgian moved all in. Rosen asked for a count and the shove was for 38,700 in total.

It took some consideration, but Rosen eventually called and the cards were tabled.

Walter Buss: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Oren Rosen: {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The {6-Diamonds} turn gave Buss additional outs, but he failed to improve on the {J-Spades} river and was eliminated in the penultimate level of Day 1.

Banicevic and Dulowski Trade Stacks

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

Vlado Banicevic and Krzysztof Dulowski were among the shorter stacks and it was no surprise to see both clash.

Banicevic was at risk for 32,900 with the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and Dulowski also had a suited ace with {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. The board came {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Banicevic doubled, he just missed out on the money in the €5,300 King's High Roller.

Rauta takes from Koran

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

The stack of PokerStars Team Pro Randy Lew has taken a hit as of lately and same applied for Dorin Rauta as well, but the latter just took most of it back by firing three barrels against Michael Koran. By the {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}, there were already more than 65,000 in the pot and Rauta made it 22,200 to go from early position.

Koran was two seats over and gave it a lot of thought, even asked his opponent if he had king-queen of diamonds. Rauta didn't give away any reaction, but was then somewhat upset when Koran folded. "If you push, I call," Rauta added.
