Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Damir Savio pushed all-in for what appeared to be 32,500 and Eric Gorree went over the top for a couple of blinds more to force out all players behind.

Damir Savio:
Eric Gorree:

The flop improved Gorree to a set of kings while the turn delivered an unexpected yet mandatory sweat. However, the river was a blank as Gorree earned the knockout with kings full of fours.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The start into Day 2 has been quite clearly dominated by Norway's Jon Per Persent, who may very well be the first player above half a million in chips. In the latest all-in showdown, he was up against Italy's Candido Gabriele Cappiello and had the best of it once more.

Neither player connected with the board and Cappiello headed out of the tournament are.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Serdar Demircan has continued his rise and joined the bigger stacks next to his friend Oliver Said, who he had railed from nearby tables on Day 1b.

One table over, two other big stacks tussled when Arnaud Enselme raised to 6,500 from under the gun. Tony Westby three-bet to 18,000 from one seat over and Enselme called. On a flop of , Enselme check-called for 13,000 and the turn was checked by both.

The river paired the board and Enselme bet 32,500 to shut down his opponent.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Luca Beretta had waited for a spot to get his severe short stack into the middle and was ultimately looked up by Gerben Bos, who was essentially committed out of the blinds.

Luca Beretta:
Gerben Bos:

"You have me dominated!" the Dutchman joked with a smile on the face. The flop seemed innocent but the turn was a mighty sweat. Sure enough, the river completed the flush and Bos dragged in the pot with a "how can I fold".

From under the gun, Hasmukh Khodiyara raised to 6,000 and Robin Valting then pushed all-in from the hijack or 33,500. Juho Santala in the small blind asked for an exact count but folded while the initial raiser Khodiyara instantly called.

The kicker played on the board as the Estonian was sent to the rail.
