Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mario Fata opened to 8,000 with the J♠J♣ and SM three-bet to 35,000 with A♥K♦ from the next seat, for Fata to call once it had folded to him.

On the 8♣7♦2♦ flop, both players checked. Fata led the 2♥ turn for 40,000 to pick up a call by SM and the French player then bet the 8♥ river for 80,000. SM didn't pay it off and Fata raked in another pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alan Jung raised from under the gun with the A♠10♣ and Imran Bhojani three-bet to 32,000 in middle position. SM then four-bet to 65,000 from the big blind and Jung went into a brief tank before folding. Bhojani then moved all-in for 117,000 and SM called.

Imran Bhojani: A♦A♣ All in
SM: J♥J♦

The J♣10♦6♥ flop vaulted SM into the lead and Bhojani had just one out as Jung had folded an ace- No miracle came on the 3♦ turn and 6♠ river and that sent Bhojani to the rail with a bad beat story to tell.

Jehan Richards raised to 15,000 in the hijack and Rudalf Frick three-bet jammed out of the small blind for 140,000. Rudolf Fourie quickly called in the big blind and Richards very quickly folded.

Rudalf Frick: J♣J♦ All in
Rudolf Fourie: A♠A♦

The 10♣5♣4♦9♣2♣ board gave Frick a four-card flush and Fourie jumped out of his chair in disgust after the bad beat.

Gavin Sardini had patiently waited for a spot to get his shorter stack in and then took a flip against big stack Matthew Mulhall.

Gavin Sardini: 10♥10♣ All in
Matthew Mulhall: K♦J♣

The 8♥6♠4♣6♥10♦ board gave Mulhall tens full of sixes and the field was reduced to the last 23 contenders, one elimination away from wrapping up Day 1c.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The cards of Craig Samuel were actually never shown as he tossed them into the muck, and he became the last player to depart from Day 1c without anything to show for.

On a board of 10♦9♠4♦K♣7♠, Nic Ioannoy had the best possible hand with QxJ♠ for the king-high straight and just like that, the penultimate flight has come to an end without any visible drama or outburst of emotions. Ioannoy jumped to a very healthy stack well above the average.
