Steven Vollers
Steven Vollers

Steven Vollers opened to 6,000 and Carmen Zainescu called from one seat over, as did Espen Uhlen Jorstad on the button. Cristian Tardea jammed for around 40,000 in the small blind and the jam of Vollers forced out Zainescu and Jorstad.

Cristian Tardea: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Steven Vollers: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board came {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Vollers scored the knockout with the nut straight, dodging the flush draw of Tardea.

Joentausta and Hotted89 Double in Consecutive Hands

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Aku Joentausta
Aku Joentausta

Aku Joentausta raised first to act and was called by Radu Lungu in the small blind and Andrei Dobrescu in the big blind. The trio checked the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop and the {A-Clubs} turn was checked to Joentausta, who bet 15,000. Lungu called and Dobrescu check-raised to 45,000, two calls followed.

On the {K-Hearts} river, action checked to Joentausta and he jammed for 36,000. Lungu reluctantly folded while Dobrescu quickly tossed in a single chip for the call. Joentausta showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for a set of queens and Dobrescu had {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} for the inferior set.

In the next hand, Andrei Toma opened to 6,000 and was called three ways including Alan "Hotted89" Widmann in the big blind. The streamer from Germany jammed the {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and Toma called.

"Overpair?" Widmann immediately asked and Toma rolled over the {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}, Widmann was in trouble with the {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. The {6-Spades} turn blanked, but the {9-Spades} river gave Widmann trips to double.

Dinner Break With 93 Remaining

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There are only 93 players remaining after four levels on Day 2 and they have been sent into a 60-minute dinner break. Another four levels are scheduled for tonight, depending on the money bubble this may, however, be altered. The action will resume at approximately 8.25 p.m. local time.

Jorstad Doubles; Manolea Busts

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Espen Uhlen Jorstad
Espen Uhlen Jorstad

Maxime Canevet had been down to 45,000 and appeared among the recent casualties a few minutes prior to the dinner break, while Evangelos Bechrakis continued his rise on Day 2.

Further players to run out of chips include Ioan Taizs, Eduard Norel, Markus Heikkila and Luciana Manolea, while Espen Uhlen Jorstad doubled.

Jorstad had jammed out of the big blind with {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Carmen Zainescu in the small blind called with {5-}{4-} after prior action on the table already. The board came {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and the ace-high was good enough for the Unibet Poker ambassador.

At almost the same time, Andrei Jambor had tabled the winning hand with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} one table over on the river of a board {J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Manolea mucked her cards before leaving the tournament area.
