After a four-way flop reading , Fabian Stache check-raised from 1,400 to 3,700 out of the big blind and received two folds as well as one call by Daniel Vittikko on the button. The Belgian, who qualified for this event online, then fired the turn for 4,575 and his opponent from Sweden quickly checked his stack before sending the cards into the muck.
We have a new chip leader in Frank van Honk and it was some kind of a deja vu from the very first level when the Dutchman and Ahmed Sellaoui had clashed. "Everybody called a raise and we were seven on the flop," van Honk said. Sellaoui then bet 3,200 on and was called by one opponent before the Dutchman raised to 12,000.
Sellaoui moved all in for pretty much starting stack and the while van Honk snapped him off with the for a flopped straight. Two blanks later Sellaoui was gone and the Dutchman moved into the lead.
Franck Boyer was the initial raiser and faced Emil Hegedus in the big blind to see a heads-up flop of checked through. On the turn, Hegedus led for 1,600 an was called before the river completed the board. Now Hegedus made it 3,600 to go and Boyer quickly raised to 8,025.
The Hungarian didn't snap off right away but eventually made the call. Relieved when seeing the of his opponent, Hegedus turned over his for a straight and bumped up his stack nicely.
Among the three players that recently busted, the name Anthony Borde sticks out as most well-known. The Frenchman had made a deep run at the PCA back in 2013 and scored a payday of $ 56,000 for his 18th place finish. There are currently 177 out of 186 players remaining.
While walking through the tournament area, one particular hand caught our attention. Sebastien Grax was already among the bigger stacks and he had raised preflop to pick up two callers in Zoltan Kapitany and Dylan Gressel. Gressel had not acted yet and Grax already fired 1,700 to get called by Kapitany.
Floor was called as the next burn card was already done while Gressel also tossed in the necessary chips. The floor ruled to reshuffle the whole deck and then they progressed to the on the turn. Gressel check-folded to a bet of 2,900 by Grax while Kapitany made the call. Both remaining players then checked the on the river and Grax showed the for two pair.
Kapitany mucked to what looked like jacks and Grax is the current leader.
On the table of Mateusz Moolhuizen, Antoine Bacci raised to 950 from under the gun and was called by Patrick van Wolferen and Peter Eichhardt in the blinds. The Swede check-raised from 1,050 to 3,500 on a flop and called the shove of Bacci for around 7,000 in total with the .
Bacci had aces with the but no further club would show up on the board anymore to save the Frenchman.
Level four is not completed yet but Giuseppe Zarbo can already look for another distraction. The Italian, who final-tabled this very same tournament last year, has been among the most recent eliminations and the field has been cut down to 171 out of 186 players left on Day 1a.
