"This Makes no Sense"

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Peter Eichhardt raised preflop for an unknown amount towards the end of the previous level and Julien Sitbon called out of the big blind, announcing a check in the dark. On the {4-Spades}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Eichhardt continued for 4,200 and was check.called before the {2-Clubs} turn triggered a second barrel worth 9,100 by the Swede.

Sitbon took his time before making the call and then firing 11,000 himself on the {4-Diamonds} river. "This makes no sense" uttered Eichhardt, but still ended up tank-calling. Sitbon flashed the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and that won the pot. The hand took another five minutes into the new and last level for Day 1a with the Frenchman making a late run for the chip lead.

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Franck Boyer opened to 4,100 from the cutoff and Zoltan Bozoki three-bet to 10,500 from the small blind only to see the Frenchman reraise to 21,000.

The Short Stack Grind

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Over on her new table, Dian Wubkes just opened to 6,000 and called the shove of a short stack for little more, 9,300 in total to be exact. The Dutchwoman held {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} but failed to improve against the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of the player in the small blind after a board of {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Weiss and Nagell Loaded

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Christer Nagell extracted 16,000 chips from an opponent on the river of a king-high board with {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} after having turned two pair and the other player made the call only to muck his king-queen. At the very same table, Fred Weiss soon after busted an opponent with a straight and became the second largest stack of table three. Will there be a big clash between the two in the remaining half an hour still?

Sitbon Takes Huge Pot

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Julien Sitbon
Julien Sitbon

Vladimir Kovalev opened the action with a raise from the button and both Christer Nagell and Julien Sitbon called out of the blinds. On the {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop all three players checked and Sitbon then raised Nagell's bet of 7,000 to 22,000 when the {10-Diamonds} turn fell.

Kovalev and Nagell both called to set up a juicy pot and the Frenchman then fired the {2-Spades} river for 80,000. Only Kovalev called and mucked when he was shown the {K-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The Russian three-bet shoved his short stack of less than 10 big blinds one hand later and chopped with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} versus {K-Spades}{A-Clubs} ... .

Csiszar Losing Some

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Joining the action on the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} flop, Matyas Csiszar called a bet worth 8,500 by Benjamin Vestergaard and did the same again on the {10-Clubs} from his button position. This time it was 13,600 to go and again Csiszar tossed in the chips before surrendering to a third barrel worth 16,000 after the {5-Spades} river.

The Hungarian is still on a big stack but not in first position anymore.
