Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Avi Cohen raised to 275,000 with the {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Robert Vukovic in the small blind counted his stack carefully with the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Vukovic three-bet to 775,000 and that shut down the hand right there.

Robert Vukovic defended his big blind against a raise to 240,000 with {A-Spades}{7-Hearts} and initial raiser Pavao Veza had the {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}. The flop fell {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and a check was followed by a bet of 280,000 by Veza, which ended up winning the pot.

Cohen Takes it on the River

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Vukovic raised to 300,000 from the small blind with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Pavao Veza defended the big blind with {Q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. The flop fell {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Vukovic checked, Veza bet 225,000 and a reluctant fold followed.

Veza raised to 240,000 with the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Cohen called with {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} on the button. The flop of {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} brought a bet of 175,000 by Veza and Cohen called to see the {5-Spades} on the turn. There was no betting action and the {7-Hearts} appeared on the river.

Cohen bet 535,000 for half the pot when it was checked to him and Veza folded.

Cohen Remains in Control Despite Setback

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Vukovic opened to 250,000 with the {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Marius Pertea called with the {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. On the {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Pertea checked and Vukovic bet 175,000. Pertea check-raised to 500,000 and Vukovic folded to get shown the {10-Hearts}.

Vukovic's raise to 280,000 with {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} was called by Cohen with {A-Hearts}{6-Spades} in the big blind and the flop fell {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Cohen checked and called a bet worth 180,000 to see the {5-Diamonds} on the turn, picking up an open-ended straight draw. Both players checked and the {10-Clubs} on the river, which was also checked by Cohen.

Vukovic bet 650,000 and called with the ace-high to drop some chips, but remains in control of the four-handed table and at the top of the counts.

Level: 29

Blinds: 80,000/160,000

Ante: 20,000

Slow Start; Less Blinds in Play

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Marius Pertea raised it up first to act with the {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Avi Cohen defended the big blind with the {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. The flop of {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} gave Pertea second pair and he continued for 500,000 after a check by Cohen, which won the pot right there.

Besides that the action has slowed down upon restart and nothing much happened, which is a logical result of the increasing blinds.

Pertea No Longer Bottom Stack

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Vukuvic made it 375,000 to go with the {K-Spades}{7-Spades} and Marius Pertea called with the {A-Spades}{6-Spades} in the big blind. The flop fell {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Pertea checked, as did Vukovic.

On the {4-Clubs} turn, both players checked once more and the {10-Hearts} fell on the river. Pertea checked again and

Veza Doubles Through Cohen

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Pavao Veza jammed for around 1.6 million, ten big blinds only, and Avi Cohen asked for a rough count and quickly called after.

Pavao Veza: {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Avi Cohen: {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

The {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop gave Cohen middle pair while the {K-Hearts} on the turn locked up the double for Veza, making the {7-Spades} river a formality.

The board came {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Spades} and Cohen was eliminated in 4th place for €28,860. "Why all in with ace eight?" Pertea asked and Cohen replied "I saw ace king, my mistake."
