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}.

Bozoki Busts Boyer

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. Bozoki shoved with the superior stack and Boyer called it off with the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. He had three over cards and a flush draw to beat the {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} of the Hungarian, however the board ran out {Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} instead.

"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.

How Much is Too Much?

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The cards were already rushed away and we could just see the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} of Pierre Antona still. In a battle of the blinds, Rodolphe Rey had open-shoved for 21 big blinds with {J-}{10-} and Antona made the call. His opponent caught a ten on the turn but the {Q-Diamonds} on the river came to the rescue of the better hand preflop.

Bad Beat for Heikkils

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The live stream has now caught up with the elimination of Markus Heikkils as there is a delay of 30 minutes. Heikkils got it in with the {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} and [Removed:507] had him at risk with {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and that suddenly made Dumea the chip leader at the table.

Dropping Quickly

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The last few minutes were somewhat chaotic for the tournament staff, as they had to collect several media ID's of busted players to remove them from the system and also close a table and move participants. When the dust had settled, the screens showed just 70 players left.

Among those recent bustouts were for example Olivier Faure, Clement Tripodi, Yannick Azzopardi as well as Marc "the king" Chahmirian.

Csiszar in Charge

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Yet another player fell to the hot run of Matyas Golczyk and it was Lukasz Golczyk. The latter had about 20 big blinds remaining and got them in preflop with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Csiszar flipped with {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and the board ran out ten-high.

The Hungarian then carefully stacked his chips in towers of 20s and gave us the chance to count, it amounts to more than 10 times the starting stack!

Boyer Busts van Wolferen

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Patrick van Wolferen
Patrick van Wolferen

Franck Boyer three-bet an open from Patrick van Wolferen to check the {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop. On the {8-Diamonds} turn, the Dutchman bet 11,100 once it was checked to him and Boyer made the call to also check-call off the remaining 13,500 on the {4-Hearts} river. Van Wolferen turned over his {7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a missed double draw while Boyer's {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} was just ace-high but good enough to take it down.

The Storyline Continues

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In Markus Heikkils, yet another big stack from earlier has been listed in the bustouts and a certain pattern for Day 1a cannot be denied. It may not be good thing to stack up early, as the majority of the leaders of the first few levels have all been sent to the rail.
