When Folding Becomes a Pain

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Dominique Terzian raised to 1,700 and was called by Stefano Garbarino as well as the player in the big blind. On a flop of {2-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {3-Spades}, the player in the big blind bet and Terzian was pained to fold, Garbarino could do so without a massive headache at an average stack.

Fabrice Somers already complained about not getting any decent cards and Pascal Vos also showed up in the secondary tournament area.

Credit where Credit is Due

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

The table of Isabel Baltazar has been broken and she got moved to the main area, facing a raise to 1,800 by Henry Szmelcer. Baltazar called and then Dieter van Itterbeeck raised to 4,700 from the button. Somehow neither of his opponents was willing to invest any more chips and the Belgian raked in the pot.

Cimbolas Starts Talking

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

It has been rather silent on the table of Matas Cimbolas, which is very unusual for the Lithuanian. The very same opponent that had just doubled him up not long ago raised the 2,600-bet of Cimbolas on a flop of {10-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} to 6,200 from the cutoff. Cimbolas then jammed out of the big blind and enforced a fold with his opponent flashing the {Q-Spades}.

"Good fold," Cimbolas said with a grin on the face.

Early Dinner for Mulsow

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Martin Mulsow had shown up late for the second starting day and wasn't even spotted until now, when he walked past the media desk and confirmed his elimination. He opened to 1,300 from middle position and was called by two opponents including Björn Wiesler. On a flop of {10-} {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}, Mulsow continued for 3,000 and one opponent called before the German check-raised all in after a {Q-} turn.

His opponent tanked for a few minutes after putting in 4,500 himself and then called the 16,000 shove with {10-} {8-} for two pair. Mulsow was bluffing with {A-} {7-} and couldn't find a nine for the straight anymore.

"Not my Tournament"

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

After a limp and a raise to 1,300, Jerome Sgorrano clicked it to 4,050 and was met with a very reluctant reraise of Danny van Zijp to 9,000. Sgorrano called to find a flop of {8-} {8-} {Q-} and called all in with {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for trips. His opponent had pocket kings and made a flush on turn and river.

The Belgian was left with next to no chips and would bow out shortly after with {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs} versus {A-} {K-}.
