Saleh Trips Up

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

Marko Neuman opened for 6,000 and got called in the big blind by Elias Saleh. They both checked a flop of {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. The turn came the {6-Diamonds} and Saleh bet out 10,000 which got a call from Neuman. The river was the [9]. Saleh bet again for 16,600 and got a call. He turned over {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for trips and Neuman mucked.

Litmanovich’s Efforts Come to Naught

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

Back from the dinner break, Valenya Litmanovich moved all in under the gun. No callers so she picked up the valuable blinds and antes. It was all for nothing though as she had to fold her big and small blinds the next two hands.

The next hand, Albert Daher opened and Litmanovich again went all in. He called and showed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. Litmanovich had {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. The board of {7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} was no help and all her chips were passed over to Daher.

Neumann No More

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Marko Neumann
Marko Neumann

Marko Neumann's tournament has finished, he was all in for his last 70,000 with {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} against former WPTR winner Natalya Nikintina's {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. The flop of {10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} didn't look great but the {7-Clubs} gave the German some extra outs. The river {9-Hearts} wasn't one of them and Neumann hit the rail.

Exits Keep Coming

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

Look, we were serious. We really. really thought the tournament would slow down by this point due to the deep stacks. But no, we've lost seven people in the first half hour. We don't blame them because this is a pretty kick ass hotel, but don't they want to win some money as well?

Gorac Tells a Story

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

Bans Topkaya got the hand going with a limp, but Vyacheslav Goryac wanted to bump the price of poker up and made it 8,000 to go. Rami Shouman called from the small blind, Topkaya and the big blind folded, so we got to a flop heads up.

{4-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Shouman checked and called Goryac’s bet of 18,000. {A-Clubs} on the turn and Shouman checked again. A bet of 30,000 convinced Shouman to release his hand.

Von Perger Eliminated

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Jamila Von Perger
Jamila Von Perger

Jamila Von Perger, who was just about to look forward to the interesting potential of sharing the table with her boyfriend Manig Loeser, has just been eliminated. Von Perger got her chips in good with {K-}{K-} against Barış Topkaya's {A-}{10-} but the latter managed to hit a three-outer to prevent what could've been a fun dynamic on table 1. Boo!
