Raimi Builds a Stack

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Philip Zimmermann raised from middle position and got both the blinds Bunjamin Raimi and Aleksandar Pesic to call.

The flop of 9♥J♠J♥ was checked by all players before Raimi led for 5,600 from the small blind. Big blind Pesic got out the way, but Zimmermann stuck around.

The river saw the third jack hit the board: J♦. Both players now checked again and Raimi's 10♣10♦ were good at showdown. He is sitting on a nice stack of nearly 250,000 at the moment.

Player	Chips	Progress
Bunjamin Raimi	245,000 198,000	198,000
Aleksandar Pesic	65,000
Philipp Zimmermann	40,300

Mihaila Rakes in a Double as 1f Kicks Off

Frank Visser

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Florin Mihaila raised to 4,000 from middle position, after which Alessandro Morales three-bet to 16,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Mihaila, who weighed his options before putting in the call.

On the J♦10♠4♠ flop, Mihaila checked to his opponent, who consequently shoved all-in for 27,500. Mihaila made the call and the cards were revealed.

Florin Mihaila: A♠K♣
Alessandro Morales: A♥J♠

Morales flopped top pair, much to Mihaila's dismay. He stood up, and the K♠ turn rolled off. Mihaila then faded the remaining outs on the 9♣ turn for a full double-up.

In the meantime, Day 1f has kicked off and the clock reads 24 people in that flight.

Player	Chips	Progress
Florin Mihaila	92,000 12,000	12,000

Fleischanderl Scoops as Bise is on Bust-Out Bonanza

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A three-way all-in was spotted and PokerNews hurried over to catch the action. Emil Bise was down to 12,500 on his second bullet and put all these chips in the middle. Holger Moritz Fleischanderl had then reraised for all of his 51,200 chips, and Roger Heim made the call, covering both of them. That concluded the preflop action, now it was up to the deck to decide.

Emil Bise: K♦8♦
Holger Moritz Fleischanderl: J♠J♣
Roger Heim: A♦K♠

Bise was rooting for his flushdraw on A♠J♦6♦, but it did not come in when the baord ran out K♥Q♣. The flopped set of jacks faded all the outs and Fleischanderl increased his stack by more than 100 percent. Meanwhile, Bise ran straight back to the reentry desk to try again.

Player	Chips	Progress
Roger Heim	180,000 130,700	130,700
Holger Moritz Fleischanderl	115,000 53,500	53,500
Emil Bise	Busted

Penta Eliminated by Quads

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Marco Penta was all-in for 17,000 and "Lucky Luke" had rejammed for 132,000. The rest of the table folded and the cards went on their backs.

Marco Penta: A♥Q♣
"Lucky Luke": J♦J♠

Penta was looking to win the flip on the A♦4♦4♥ flop, but "Lucky Luke" lived up to their name and made runner-runner quads when the J♣ and J♥ completed the board.

"Lucky Luke" added some more chips to their stacks while Penta shook his head and left the table.

Lucky Luke	155,000 122,600	122,600

Bise Busts to Van Bavel

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The pot had already grown to a massive 80,000 chips when the action was caught on the turn. Emil Base was in the hijack and made an all-in bet of 73,100. Arjan van Bavel was once again his opponent and was deep in the tank with the covering stack.

After getting an exact count, Van Bavel thought some more before eventually putting in some chips to signify a call.

Emil Bise: 9♠2♥
Arjan van Bavel: A♦10♠

Bise blasted it in with the slightly unexpected nine-deuce off for bottom pair, while Van Bavel had made a daring call with middle pair. Van Bavel would hold when the river came the 6♣ and Bise immediately headed to the cage to make a reentry.

Player	Chips	Progress
Arjan van Bavel	264,000 139,000	139,000

Emil Bise	Busted
