"Almost Folded"

Jason Glatzer

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Michael Uguccioni opened for 1,200 from under the gun. Charalampos Chatzithoma three-bet to 4,400 from the cutoff and Uguccioni called.

Uguccioni checked the {9-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop. Chatzithoma bet 4,600 and Uguccioni jammed for more than the 22,500 his opponent had behind.

Chatzithoma went into the tank for several minutes checking his cards many times before he finally made the call.

Charalampos Chatzithoma: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Michael Uguccioni: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Players began to take back their chips as the {7-Spades} turn and {2-Hearts} river completed the board for a chop.

"I almost folded," said Chatzithoma after the hand.

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Petr Kubenka opened for 800 from early position and was called by Ondrej Milabersky from two seats over. Ylva Thorsrud three-bet to 2,400 from the cutoff. Attila Kuna cold-called from the button and Kubenka and Milabersky came along as well.

All four players checked down the entire {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades} board. Kuna turned over {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Everyone else tossed their hand into the muck and the dealer awarded Kuna the pot.

Meanwhile, Hanna Arnesson got back into action and local hero Martin Ilavsky got into the mix as well.

Thorsrud Forces Limonova to Re-Enter

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

We noticed before the break that Kelly Limonova was re-entering the Main Event. She shared with PokerNews that she was ousted by Ylva Thorsrud, the winner of last night's charity tournament

Thorsrud shared the hand with the media.

Thorsrud opened for 500 from under the gun with nines and was called by Limonova with king-queen. Fireworks immediately erupted on the queen-nine-four flop with two spades. Thorsrud bet 600. Limonova raised to 1,500 before she jammed for 20,000 when facing Thorsrud's three-bet to 4,500.

Thorsrud made the easy call with the middle set and had Limonova drawing dead after a blank came on the turn.

Trip Queens No Good for Sninsky

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Dusan Sninsky bet 1,100 into a pot of around 3,000 after the {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} landed on the flop. Dan Olin three-bet to 3,000 from one seat over and a third player in the hand, folded their cards. Snisky tanked for more than a minute before he jammed for nearly 10,000. Olin snap-called and players showed their cards.

Dusan Sninsky: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Dan Olin: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Sninsky got out of his seat looking for the tournament director to ask about re-entry after he saw his top pair was no good against a set. Sninsky was drawing dead after the {4-Spades} turn and was out of chips on his first bullet despite improving to trips on the {q-Clubs} river.

Hanna Arnesson lost her short stack at another table at around the same time.

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

With 7,000 in the pot, Mihaly Jansco checked the turn with the {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} on the board. Daniel Prior fired out for 2,000 and Jansco went into the tank before he raised to 8,000. Prior was deep in thought for about a minute before he opted to fold his hand.
