Second Break of the Day

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

According to the screens, there are 224 players out of a 258-entry strong field remaining after level four and they have all been sent into a 20-minute break. After two more levels of 60 minutes each, the dinner break will take place and the registration for Day 1a will close with the start of level seven.

Chutrov and Lorentzen no More

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Daniel Chutrov
Daniel Chutrov

Table six has lost two players and that included Daniel Chutrov and Mikkel Lorentzen. According to other players at the table including Luciana Manolea, Chutrov was involved in a three-bet pot with Farook Ghafoor and got his stack then in with {A-}{10-} on a flop of {A-}{8-}{7-}. Ghafoor had that beat with {A-}{J-} and turn and river both bricked.

Soon after, Lorentzen and Emanuel Flesner clashed. Both were very short and Flesner managed to double his stack of just 9,225 with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} versus {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} thanks to a board of {4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Lorentzen had a chip and a chair left, then busted the very next hand.

Racolta Eliminated

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

A short-stacked Andrei Racolta moved all in for around 6,000 and Saied Khalghamooz, who had just sat down and not even filled out the player info sheet just yet, called in the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and the cards were turned over.

Andrei Racolta: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Saied Khalghamooz: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

Racolta was in bad shape and joined the rail despite picking up a gutshot on the turn of a board {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. The kicker played in favor of Khalghamooz, who boosted his stack right away. Other recent casualties include Roy Even, Sorin Agapie, Adrian Nica and Cristian Vornicu.

Cohen Folds Two Pair

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Joining the action on the {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} turn, Avi Cohen bet 3,750 and table neighbor Akseli Paalanen called to see the [10d appear on the river. Cohen checked and Paalen now bet 15,000 for almost the size of the pot, wich just 9,000 behind.

Cohen spent several minutes in the think tank before the clock was called on him. The one minute ran down without any move by Cohen, before he eventually folded the {A-Spades}{7-Spades} for two pair. "Good fold," Paalanen added and claimed the pot.

Hens Pops up his Stack

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Florin Andrei Pop raised to 1,100 and William Hens three-bet to 2,500 from one seat over. The players in the blinds folded and Pop called to see a flop of {10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Pop check-called a bet worth 3,500 and the {5-Spades} appeared on the turn. Both players checked and the {A-Hearts} on the river completed the board.

Pop made it 12,000 to go and Hens eventually called before seeing the good news. Pop only had {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens while the Dutchman was good with his {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

Komarova Rides a Roller Coaster

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Maret Komarova has been through a roller coaster in the first few levels of Day 1a. After first building her stack, she was then seen with a mere 13,000 and that has since increased to 25,000 again. In the latest hand, Komarova checked the {K-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} river and her sole opponent bet 1,900.

Komarova then check-raised all in for around 14,000 and her opponent quickly folded, then mentioned something along the lines of "ace queen" in Romanian, while another player at the table said "nice bluff" to Komarova.

Farcasanu and Stoenescu on Board

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Alexandru Farcasanu won the 888Live Local Summerfest here in Bucharest back in June this year for his biggest score to date, a first-place payout of €17,694. Farcasanu is slightly above the starting stack while fellow Romanian Andrei Stoenescu one table over in the same seat is down to less than half of that.

On the three-way flop of {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, the trio checked. Stoenescu then bet the {9-Hearts} on the turn for 800 and just Tomer Zcharya called. The {10-Hearts} on the river went check, check, and Stoenescu mucked when he was shown {A-Spades}{2-Spades}.
