Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Dimitar Yosifov
Dimitar Yosifov

After a raise to 8,000 by Kemal Sevevi, Dimitar Yosifov moved all in for 90,000 chips with {A-Spades} {8-Spades} and the initial raiser called with pocket kings. Yosifov could not catch an ace or sufficient spades to bow out in 21st place. The min-cash is worth €3,600 and Sevevi moves up into the top five chip counts.

Daniele Mazzia is the Bubble Boy

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Daniele Mazzia
Daniele Mazzia

Daniele Mazzia moved all in for 22,500 chips from early position and was called by Michael Mizrachi before Atanas Kavrakov in the small blind moved all in over the top. The more than 170,000 chips were too much for the American and he folded. Once the action on all other tables was completed, the following showdown took place:

Mazzia: {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}
Kavrakov: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {A-Clubs} to let the bubble burst, all remaining players are now guaranteed at least €3,600.

Melkistian Busts to Grekul

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Ara Melkistian
Ara Melkistian

Ara Melkistian opened from under the gun and was called by Ercan Olgun and Vitalii Grekul in the big blind. On the {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts} flop, Grekul checked, Melkistian bet 11,000 and Olgun called. Grekul now check-raised to 31,000 and called all in after the push from Melkistian, Olgun mucked.

Grekul: {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Melkistian: {Q-} {J-}

Both players were on a draw, the {Q-Clubs} on the turn left Melkistian already drawing dead though. The {8-Hearts} river ended the tournament for Melkistian officially and he stormed off just shy of the dinner break.

Naydenov's Second Nuts are no Good

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Simeon Naydenov
Simeon Naydenov

Onur Unsal raised from the button and was called by Simeon Naydenov and Michael Mizrachi in the blinds. On the {9-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} flop, Mizrachi bet 8,000 and Unsal raised to 20,500. Naydenov moved all in for 80,000 and "The Grinder" tank-folded whereas Unsal made the call.

Naydenov: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Unsal: {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}

A diamond would be no good for the World Series of Poker bracelet winner from Bulgaria and the worst case scenario materialized with the {K-Diamonds} on the turn. The {J-Clubs} river was already meaningless and the comeback story of Unsal becomes more and more of a thing.

Yosifov Blows Up

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Dimitar Yosifov
Dimitar Yosifov

On the turn of a {8-Clubs} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} board with 55,000 chips in the pot, Dimitar Yosifov bet 22,000. Kemal Sevevi raised to 77,000 and Yosifov eventually moved all in with the superior stack. Sevevi called off for 154,200 chips and turned over {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} for middle pair, double gutshot and the flush draw.

Yosifov returned {K-Spades} {6-Spades} for king-high and the double gutshot, but he couldn't improve anymore as the {2-Diamonds} river was a brick.

Unsal Takes from Luca

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Onur Unsal
Onur Unsal

Onur Unsal raised from under the gun and found a customer in Ican Luca out of the big blind. The Argentinian check-raised the {7-} {7-} {3-} flop from 3,500 to 14,500 and Unsal called to see a four on the turn. Another bet of Luca was called before the Argentinian made it hefty 65,000 to go after a {2-} on the river.

Unsal called with {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs} for the turned straight and Luca was beaten with {7-} {9-} for flopped trips. Who would have thought that Unsal is still in by now after being down to one ante two hours ago?

The Big Bang Theory

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi raised to 4,500 and Majid Ejlal Noubarian three-bet to 16,000, which was called by the American. On the {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop, Noubarian led for 20,000 and Mizrachi made it 55,000 to go. The Iranian clicked it up to 120,000 and "The Grinder" called.

Both players checked the {A-Diamonds} turn and Noubarian checked the {2-Hearts} on the river. Mizrachi moved all in with the superior stack, sending Noubarian into the think tank. Ultimately, he would release his cards after realizing that he was covered and the splashed up pot went to the American.

Mizrachi's Maniac Style Pays Off

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi is a master at accumulating chips very fast, playing hyper aggressive and either busting or going very deep. The WPT National Cyprus is yet another example and his latest victim was Marc Goschel. After a preflop raising war, both players had invested 24,000 chips whereas a third player got out of the way.

Mizrachi fired all three streets on a board of {A-} {A-} {6-} {9-} {4-} and Goschel called 18,000 on the flop, 25,000 on the turn as well as all in after the river with pocket queens. "The Grinder" however had it this time with {A-} {J-} for trips aces and raked in the massive pot.

Unsal Busts in Huge pot

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Onur Unsal
Onur Unsal

Onur Unsal went past us to purchase a re-entry and one could understand that he busted with "top two versus straight on A-Q-8-9". The 200,000-pot went to Barny Boatman with {J-} {10-} and the Brit is now among the chip leaders.

Chino Rheem appeared in the bustout feed, same applied for [Removed:2] as well but the latter purchased a re-entry.
