Ludwicki Doubles Through Jacobsen

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Nicolas Ludwicki

Nicolas Ludwicki shoved 252,000 from the cutoff, Daniel Jacobsen also went all in on the button and the blinds folded.

Nicolas Ludwicki: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Daniel Jacobsen: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop was not helping Ludwicki but the {J-Diamonds} on the turn sure did. Jacobsen needed a four, eight or nine to win but instead saw a {3-Diamonds} and was left short.

Daniel Jacobsen: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}
Luigi Knoppers: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

Easy game for Jacobsen during the {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and he doubled up.

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Manuel Zapf
Manuel Zapf

It got folded to Julien Stropoli on the button who slid a large stack of chips forward, enough to put both blinds at risk. Jamie Munro folded the small blind, but Manuel Zapf called it off in the big blind.

Manuel Zapf: {A-}{3-}
Julien Stropoli: {A-}{9-}

The board brought no help for Zapf and he had to make his way to the rail. The Maltese resident received €4,350 for his deep run.

Stropoli Drags A Monster Pot from Eckert

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Julien Stropoli
Julien Stropoli

In the biggest pot of the tournament, Jan Eckert clashed massively with Julien Stropoli. Eckert was in the small blind and Stropoli played from the cutoff.

There was already a substantial pot brewing between the two when action was on Eckert on a {7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{A-Clubs} board. The Dane bet 210,000 and the Frenchman called in position.

On the {2-Diamonds} river, Eckert settled on a bet of 250,000. Needing about five seconds, Stropoli went all in for 685,000 and Eckert slumped back in his chair. He sighed, double-checked his hole cards, then gave it up after about twenty seconds.
