Samuele Lo Presti raised it up to 12,000 in the cutoff and Dylan Kirstein three-bet to 36,000 on the button. Lo Presti tanked for more than three minutes to then four-bet for 86,000 total.
Kirstein had a smile on the face when he sent his cards into the muck. The action continues on the money bubble, for each hand completed two minutes will be taken from the clock.
On the heads-up turn of , Rene Kuhlman bet 23,000 and Samuele Lo Presti opted to call from one seat over. Kuhlman also bet the river for another 28,000.
Lo Presti once again went into the tank before he then raised it up to 115,000 via double fist push. Kuhlman had a very similar grin on the face and let go for the Italian to claim the next pot.
When the field was down to the last six tables, a technical issue had to be solved for the player tracking and that reduced the field to 47 before it was adjusted properly. No announcement of the bubble being burst was made and more than half a dozen hands have since been played.
Dutchman Egi Adriaans bemoaned that temporary confusion and was so tilted that he even vaulted out of his chair to forfeit his blinds and big blind ante while continuing to talk with the floor.
During one of the following hands, Adriaans was under the gun and took a long time to act. The clock was called on him and Adrians then grabbed his cards and smashed pocket kings on the board for everybody to see as he let them go, which heavily influenced the action. That triggered a full orbit penalty as a result but he will be allowed to act again before being in the big blind.
During one of those hands, Jon Per Persent raised the button and Rene Kuhlman defended the big blind. On the flop, Kuhlman check-called for 12,000. They checked the turn and river and Kuhlman won the pot with the .
In the meanwhile, other players are in danger of being forced all-in very soon.
With three short stacks awaiting their fate of being forced all-in within the next orbit but during different hands, the action has come to a complete stop on the outer tables.
Among the very thing notable things to happen was a raise to 13,000 by Maciej Toma and a three-bet to 42,000 by Daniel Pastor on the button. Toma stared at his opponent and opted to fold.
On the feature table, the red-hot running Serdar Demircan had increased his stack to a smooth million already. He aimed to punish Pierre De Almeida once more when both checked a flop.
De Almeida called a bet on the turn and had 67,000 behind on the river. Demircan bet 80,000 with for a stone cold bluff to put De Almeida with the in the ringer.
The tank call by the Frenchman followed and the bubble action continued.
After the double-up on the live stream table, there was another all-in on the outer tables.
Down to the last 6,000, Egi Adriaans moved all-in from under the gun and was called by Clement Kerrien in the small blind as well as Jon Per Sent in the big blind.
The two active players checked it down on the board and all other tables finished their action before the cards were revealed.
Kerrien had the , which beat Persent with . Adriaans shook his head and flashed the before heading to the rail. He would have been forced all-in the very next hand while two other short stacks had several hands ahead of the same fate.
Goulven Gauchet was the first player to bust in the money and the next all-in showdown involved Alfredo Cuti, who had survived the bubble with just 2,000 in chips.
Kevin Frame was also all-in for 34,000 and they were looked up by Dwayne Sluis.
Alfredo Cuti:
Kevin Frame:
Dwayne Sluis:
The board failed to provide a miracle for the Italian, who departed next.
As expected, the all-in showdowns keep coming at a rapid pace and the field is already down to 42 players with seven seat open in a matter of four minutes.
Among them was also Tony Westby, who was sent to the rail by Arnaud Enselme.
Westby was at risk with the and Enselme was ahead with the . The runout missed both players and that spelled the end for Westby.
