Joining the action on a flop of {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} ]6d] with quite a few chips in the middle already, Nikolay Tsanev check-called a bet of 10,000 versus Aykutalp Yilmaz and the {6-Spades} river completed the board. Tsanev checked again quickly and Yilmaz fired 28,000, almost half of the remaining stack of the Bulgarian.

Good Start for Yosifov

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

F.S. more than doubled up his starting stack and Dimitar Yosifov was the player that knocked out Khalil Tawil. The Bulgarian had pocket aces and shot three barrels on a board of {Q-Spades} {8-} {8-} {10-} {A-} to claim the early knockout.

On his new table he faces fellow big stacks Sergey Minaev and Michael Mizrachi. "The Grinder" just opened and called a three-bet by Yosifov to give up on a flop of {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}.

Chadi and Luca Up

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A.E. got moved to a new table and had fellow Lebanese George Chadi all in and at risk for 16,100 chips on the turn of a {5-Clubs} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} board. Chadi held {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} for top pair whereas A.E. was looking for another spade or king with {K-Spades} {7-Spades}. The {3-Hearts} river was a brick and Chadi doubled.

Ivan Luca is at said table as well and almost doubled up in chips in the first 45 minutes of play.

Margolin and Grudev Under Pressure

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Joining the action on the {2-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} turn, F.S. bet and was called by Grudi Grudev to see the {Q-Clubs} as final community card. F.S. now fired 23,500 to put his opponent all in and Grudev folded after some consideration.

One table over, Timur Margolin check-called a bet of 15,000 after a very long time on the think tank with the board reading {10-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {A-Spades} {8-Spades}. Stanislav Galatenko was quite surprised to see a call and his {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} being good as the whole table smiled as well. "Am I so bad?" Galatenko asked before stacking the chips.

Ivan Luca

Ivan Luca defended his blind against a raise of Ercan Olgun and found a flop of {J-} {2-} {4-}. The Argentinian check-called a bet of 2,200 and check-raised the {Q-} turn from 5,400 to 14,300. Olgun moved all in for around 60,000 with ace-high and Luca called with queen-jack for two pair, already being guaranteed the knockout.
