Side Event Update

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante
Dan Murariu
Dan Murariu

Day 2 of the €2,200 High Roller has kicked off at the same time as Day 1a of the Main Event and Unibet Poker ambassador Dara O'Kearney topped the counts of the 17 Day 1 survivors out of a field of 22 entries. The registration remained open and the field has since grown to 29 entries, of which 13 remain.

Among those to bust on Day 2 thus far were 2018 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event champion Jack Sinclair, the Unibet Poker ambassadors David Lappin and Espen Uhlen Jorstad, as well as Adrian Nica, Jean-Serge Baril and Michael Mazilu.

Another event that just restarted is the €330 Unibet Deepstack Open that featured a total of 155 entries, of which only 23 advanced to Day 2. Unibet Poker ambassador and Unibet Open champion Dan Murariu busted soon after the action recommenced, while fellow ambassador Fredrik Bergmann is still in contention. Murariu was the first player in the money and collected €520 for his efforts, while the winner can look forward to a payday of €11,630.

Sidark Doubles Through Beukers

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

A big pot was brewing over on the table of Amanda Sidark, who bet 5,000 into a pot of almost 20,000 with the completed board showing {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Her sole opponent was Adriaan Beukers and the Dutchman raised it up to 20,000, which had Sidark's remaining stack covered.

Sidark contemplated about her decision for half a minute and called all in for 16,475. Beukers shook his head and sheepishly flashed the {5-Hearts} followed by the {K-Hearts}, and Sidark doubled with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for queens and nines.

Black Leads the Field

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

Soon after sitting down on Day 1a, Andy Black has chipped up and doubled his stack, which also explains why Hans de Hond can no longer be found seated at the same table. The Dutchman has become the first casualty of the day and may re-enter in tomorrow's turbo heat 1c as of 9 p.m. local time.

Segers and Mathers Win Pots

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

Kalman Dohany defended his big blind against a raise by Gilles Segers and check-called a bet of 625 on the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop. The {6-Hearts} followed on the turn and Dohany checked, then faced a second barrel worth 2,300 by Segers. That was enough to break down the resistance of Dohany and he sent his cards into the muck. After a decent start into the day, his stack has since dipped below the 30,000 he started with.

One table over, Kevin Mathers raked in a pot without showdown. He had bet 2,500 out of the small blind with the board showing {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Harry Wals opted to fold.

"I gonna show one," Mathers said in table chat and flashed the {7-Clubs}, Wals replied with a "nice hand."

Black Chips Up Further

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

Pascal Rabany, who finished 18th in the €330 Deep Stack Open Cup, entered Day 1a of the Main Event soon after and sits right next to Frida Andersson. On the same table, Jakub Groblewski defended out of the blinds and check-called a bet of 700 by Michael Tucknott on the {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Spades} flop. The {7-Diamonds} turn was checked and Groblewski's bet of 1,375 on the {3-Hearts} river won the pot without showdown.

Andy Black took on Katsuhiro Muto, who also defended out of the blinds. Muto proceeded to check-call bets of 500 on the {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop and 1,000 on the {4-Clubs} turn. Muto checked the third street in a row on the {6-Hearts} river and Black won the pot with a third barrel worth 3,000, as Muto elected to fold.

The Japanese was left with around 8,000 after the hand and busted shortly after to become the third casualty on Day 1.

Klassen and Ohman Win Big Pots

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante
Ricardo Klassen
Ricardo Klassen

Ricardo Klassen won a big pot just before the first break of the day when he took on Raul Olarescu. The duo invested 7,200 each on the {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} turn with Olarescu check-calling and the {Q-Spades} on the river was checked down. Olarescu showed {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Klassen had that beat with the {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for two pair.

One table over, the completed board showed {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and there were already 30,000 in the middle. Jan Marcus Ohman bet 7,000 and Martin Soukup reluctantly called. Ohman showed the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} and Soukup double-checked his cards before sending them into the muck.
