Slow Start

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Despite the average stack being quite shallow with just below 30 big blinds, it's a very slow start in the tournament. Most pots are taken down with a single preflop raise.

David Lappin Eliminated in 15th Place (€6,520)

Vojtech Susta raised to 85,000 from late position and David Lappin sat in the big blind when it folded to him. The Unibet Poker Ambassador moved all in for his last 395,000 and Susta called the all-in bet.

David Lappin: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Vojtech Susta: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{6-Hearts} and that eliminated the last Unibet Poker Ambassador standing in the 2018 Unibet Open Bucharest Main Event.

Lappin gets to collect €6,520 at the payout desk for his 15th place finish.

Yaron Turgeman Eliminated in 14th Place (€6,520)

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Yaron Turgeman moved his last seven big blinds to the middle with {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} from the under the gun position and big blind Amir Shomron called from the big blind with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

The dealer spread out the {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{K-Spades} flop and it was all but over for Shomron. The turn was the {7-Spades} and the river was the {4-Diamonds} which meant Turgeman didn't hit his straight and got eliminated from the tournament.

Vahdat Takes One Down

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs raised from the under the gun position to 85,000 and it folded to Arvin Vahdat on the button. He called the raise from Zavorotnijs to see a flop and both blinds folded their hands.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and Zavorotnijs continued with a bet of 80,000. Vahdat called to see the turn come down.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and Zavorotnijs checked this time instead of firing again. Vahdat took over the betting lead with a bet of 115,000. Zavorotnijs called and the river was the {5-Diamonds}.

Zavorotnijs checked again and then decided to give up the hand when Vahdat bet 135,000.

Arvin Vahdat Eliminated in 13th Place (€7,500)

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Arvin Vahdat
Arvin Vahdat

Arvin Vahdat was just eliminated in 13th place for €7,500 on a bit of a cooler. He opened from early position to 110,000. Anton Vinokurov from one seat over three-bet to 275,000.

The action folded back around to Vahdat who four-bet jammed for about 700,000 and Vinokurov quickly called.

Arvin Vahdat: {K-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Anton Vinokurov: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

Vahdat needed a bit of help on the board to win the hand. However, the {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} board ran all blanks for Vahdat and he hit the rail.

After the hand, Vinokurov extended his chip leading stack to 5,000,000.

Pawel Zoladkiewicz Eliminated in 12th Place (€7,500)

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Pawel Zoladkiewicz found pocket aces in late position and he raised to 115,000. Tomasz Kozub sat on the button with ace-jack off suit and he moved all in for 875,000. Zoladkiewicz called and put Kozub at risk.

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Kozub hit an amazing river to double up through Zoladkiewicz and leave him behind with just a big blind and a half.

He folded six-five from the under the gun position and was big blind the next hand. He had two antes behind and had to win with {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against Cosmin Cimpeanu his {Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. The board brought {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Zoladkiewicz was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Lucian Bera
Lucian Bera

Anton Vinokurov raised to 110,000 from early position and Florin Elisei called. Lucian Bera moved all in and Vinokurov folded. Elisei called and they opened up their hands.

Florin Elisei: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Lucian Bera: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and it was all over for Bera who got eliminated from the Main Event in 11th place, missing out on the final table. That also means that we're on the final table bubble right now.

The break has been pushed forward to until we get to the final table.
