Pre-Dinner Casualties

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Within the last half an hour, another two dozen players were sent to the rail and the field has been reduced to the last 255 hopefuls in a 367-entry strong field. The dinner buffet has opened half an hour ago, while a Satellite for tomorrow's €2,200 High Roller is also underway to provide other opportunities for those not in anymore.

Wejner Doubles

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Doron Shako raised to 2,000 from early position and short stack Michal Wieslaw Wejner pushed for his last 8,550. Shako reluctantly called with the {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Wejner showed {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, and while technically falling behind, Wejner had a ton of outs. The {5-Diamonds} on the turn gave him a flush and the {6-Spades} river was a blank to see him double. "Three more," he joked.

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Radu Lungu opened from early position and then called the shove of Elena Grigorescu for 10,325.

Elena Grigorescu: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Radu Lungu: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Upon spotting the cards of her opponent, Grigorescu already grabbed her belongings and was on the way out, but the board came {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{A-Clubs} to provide the necessary help on the river. Lungu keeps a big stack, while Jakub Grolewski has even more than the Romanian.
