Another Three Down the Drain

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Olli Roos was eliminated by Anatoli Halca while Tudor Bartha Lazar took a small hit with {A-Spades}{7-Spades} versus {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, as short stack Vlad Cojocariu doubled thanks to a baord of {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

Eric Wasylenko had fellow Canadian Jean-Serge Baril on the brink of elimination when the latter three-bet shoved for 45,000 with {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Wasylenko turned over {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and the board of {J-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} gave Baril a full house.

Cristian Tardea doubled to 55,000 with {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} when holding up against the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} of Bojan Zidar on the board of {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Lappin's Kings Get Cracked

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
David Lappin
David Lappin

There is no reason to smile unfortunately, as David Lappin has just been eliminated in cruel fashion. Yasen Dichev had raised and Lappin three-bet small to 13,500 on the button. Vladut Paun called in then small blind and Dichev four-bet to around 35,000. Lappin moved all in to force a fold from Paun, while Dichev called with the far superior stack.

David Lappin: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Yasen Dichev: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The board came {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and the jack on the turn spelled the end for Lappin before the money.

Zawadka Departs; Jadav Takes a Hit

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Several other players including Age Spets were sent to the rail. Mikolaj Zawadka was all in and at risk preflop with {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Dor Lan called with the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, the board of {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts} left the Pole drawing dead on the turn.

Silviu Baltateanu bumped his stack with a big raise and Eric Wasylenko rivered two pair with {9-Clubs}{3-Spades} to get value off Andreas Steiner, who paid 15,000 and mucked.

Last but not least, Vinod Jadav raised to 8,000 on the button and reluctantly called the shove of short stack Remi Gallot for 38,500 in the big blind. Jadav flipped over {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Gallot was at risk with {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The board came {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Gallot spiked an off suit king on the river to stay in contention.

No Money for von Zweigbergk

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Martin von Zweigbergk
Martin von Zweigbergk

Martin von Zweigbergk lost some chips when he got caught bluffing and soon after invested half of his stack preflop before shoving the {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop. Razvan Cetanas called with the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and von Zweigbergk turned over {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. The {5-Clubs} turn and {10-Clubs} river were blanks and the Finn was out.

"Why not all in preflop?" Cetanas asked and von Zweigbergk shrugged and said "because I had a draw."

Bollmann and Arnautu Bust

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Catalin Luca was all in for just 28,500 after a raise to 6,500 by Jorma Vuoksenmaa and the latter called with the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Luca was at risk with {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and got there on the board {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Arne Bollmann's shove with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} saw Teun Herman reshove with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to isolate successfully and the board of {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{K-Spades} gave Herman a full house.

Last but not least, Alexandru Arnautu was left short after running into pocket aces and bowed out soon after.

Kevin "Papaplatte" Teller returns to Day 2 with an average stack

After two starting days with 11 levels of 60 minutes each, the 10-year anniversary edition of the Unibet Open has seen a total of 502 entries for the €1,100 Main Event at the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel in ther heart of the Romanian capital and 114 hopefuls remain in contention for their share of the prize pool of €486,940. Only the top 71 spots will receive at least €1,880 for their efforts while the winner will take home the trophy and first-place payout of €90,925.

Leading the field into Day 2 is 1b chip leader Marian Strachinescu with 345,000 while three other countrymen follow next in Vladut Paun (326,500), 1a chip leader Andrei Grimberg (325,500) and Tudor Bartha Laza (324,000). Three non-Romanian players made it into the top ten thus far with the two Dutchmen Tom Vogelsang (308,000) and Teun Herman (288,000), as well as Avi Cohen (252,500), while Tudor Purice (252,500) will return to the tables with nearly two times the average.

Other notables still in contention include Yasen Dichev (248,000), Stephane Allard (243,000), Alexander Ioan (239,000), Ran Azor (211,000), Jose Luis Capdevila (163,000), Eric Wasylenko (119,000), €2,200 High Roller runner-up Katsuhiro Muto (105,000), Age Spets (61,500), Catalin Pop (55,000) and Johan Goslings (27,000).

Three players will represent Unibet Poker on the penultimate day of the tournament: Unibet Poker ambassador Dara O'Kearney has 234,000, eSports Star Kevin "Papaplatte" Teller bagged up 130,000 and Unibet Poker ambassador David Lappin (90,000) still has 30 big blinds worth when play resumes. Only one former Unibet Open Main Event champion made it through and that is two-time champion Dan Murariu with 51,500.

The action resumes at 12 p.m. noon local time with level 12 and blinds of 1,500/3,000 and a running ante of 500. A maximum of 11 levels of 60 minutes each or down to the official final table are scheduled for the penultimate day in Bucharest, whichever of the two comes first. There will be a break every two levels and a dinner break after the end of the sixth level, and the live stream of the feature table will start in the third level of the day on the Unibet Poker Twitch Channel with a security delay of 30 minutes.

Stay tuned for more as the PokerNews live reporting team is on the floor for all you need to know from the 10-year anniversary edition of the Unibet Open!
