Alan "Hotted89" Widmann raised and Tudor Bartha Lazar three-bet to 3,500 from two seats over. Henri Vaeisaenen in the big blind jammed for 14,200 and Widmann called. Lazar eventually folded and said later in table chat he folded queens.
Henri Vaeisaenen: ![]()
![]()
Alan Widmann: ![]()
![]()
The ![]()
![]()
flop gave Widmann top two pair, and the
turn and
river sent Vaeisaenen to the rail.
In the last hand before their table broke, Corentin Ropert and Oerjahn Winther clashed in a three-way pot. Winther had opened first to act to 900 and Ropert called in the small blind, as did the big blind. Ropert check-raised the ![]()
![]()
flop from 1,200 to 4,000 and Winther came along.
The
turn brought a bet of 5,000 by the Frenchman and Winther called once more before Ropert bet the
river for 16,000. Winther called after plenty of consideration and was shown the ![]()
by Ropert, who had turned two pair and played the straight on the board eventually. Winther showed ![]()
and they chopped it up.
Winther was moved to another table and took the seat that formerly belonged to Unibet Poker ambassador Monica Vaka. Down to very few chips on the dinner break, Vaka had stuck around for a while but didn't make it into level six.
Level: 6
Blinds: 200/500
Ante: 500
Among the players to bust recently was former Unibet Open Bucharest third-place finisher Pavao Veza, along with Catalin Popa and Nandor Solyom.
Anssi "AndyPyro" Huovinen has been spotted among the recent casualties and the esports streamer from Finland was unfortunate enough to run jacks into queens when a jack and a queen appeared on the flop.
Also no longer in contention for Day 1b is early big stack Hitesh Chandarana, who sent his chips over to Ciprian Voican. Both players had flopped a pair of tens in a three-bet pot, but Voican rivered two pair with ![]()
versus ![]()
to deal the final blow according to Ran Shahar.
Lennaert Joostens ended up all in and at risk with ![]()
on a ![]()
![]()
flop and his opponent turned over ![]()
for the diamond flush draw. The
turn and
river were both blanks and the Dutchman doubled.
Alexandru Farcasanu had returned from the dinner break with an above-average stack, but he showed up in the recent casualties. A quick look at his table, the former feature table, revealed a big stack for fellow Romanian Stefan Fabian.
According to Fabian, it was a "big flip" that decided the fate of Farcasanu, who five-bet jammed out of the big blind with pocket jacks. Fabian on the button called with ace-king suited and got there.
Since coming back from the break, John "Swifty" Pyle has also doubled and is in a much better position now.
Sven "Svennoss" Edelenbosch had returned from dinner with a shorter stack, which also applied for Katie Swift, and they shared the same fate to run out of chips in quick succession.
Edelenbosch faced a raise to 900 by Mihail Rablou and a call by Laurentiu Avram, then jammed for the last 8,200. Rablou asked for a count and called, trying to get Avram also into the mix, but a quick fold followed.
Sven Edelenbosch: ![]()
![]()
Mihail Rablou: ![]()
![]()
"Ah, nice," Edelenbosch said when he spotted the aces on the other side of the table. The Dutch streamer picked up some hope on the ![]()
![]()
flop, but the
turn and
river were of no help.
The cards of Hitesh Chandarana were already in the muck and he paid off the all in of a short-stacked Catalin Popa, who had rivered the nuts with ![]()
on a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
to remain in contention.
