Ercan Olgun had opened preflop to about 3,000 before Bartlomiej Kowalowka made it 6,500 in position behind him. Olgun responded by four-betting to 11,600 but Kowalowka virtually clicked it back again to 17,600 with about 45,000 behind. Interestingly, Olgun opted to flat-call, seeing a flop and checking it to the Polish player. Kowalowka bet 12,200 and after about two minutes, Olgun decided to fold.
Ercan Olgun opened for 2,700 and was called by Hakan Demiriciloglu and from the big blind by Jacoues Torbey. They saw a flop of . Torbey checked and Olgun continued for 3,400 only to get called by both players. A on the turn and a bet from Olgun of 11,400 got through.
Mikhail Shevchuk seemingly misread the action and flat called a bet preflop. Sam Trickett moved all in and, when it got back to him, Shevchuk called and tabled against Trickett’s . Trickett had noticed what happened and said, “So annoying.” The cards fell and Tricket’s Cyprus WPT run was at an end.
A double up for Oleg Suntsov. He'd already won with ace-king against queens earlier when he found himself in the classic flip for a second time, but in this case, he had the against Siyar Erzen's .
Again the board came in favour of the Russian, coming to make him a full house. Erzen has been crippled as a result.
Bernard Samaha had raised to 6,400 and Giacomo Fundaro raised him right back to 17,000. Samaha has a stack to do what he wants though and sent out a message to Fundaro and the table with a bet of 46,400. Fundaro thought for a while, and even checked his cards again in case they had turned into aces. They hadn’t and he folded.
Guy Gorelik was all in for his last 20,000 or so on a flop with but Boris Yanpolskiy had him beat with . The turn and river changed nothing and Gorelik was eliminated.
Kemal Sevevi though was incensed as he said that Yanpolskiy has been talking in Russian during hand. Sevevi and Yanpolskiy do not seem to be getting on too well so any hands between the pair could prove to be very interesting...
Max Droege had berated Bart Bogdan early in the level for taking a long time to come to a decision and warned that he was not afraid to call the clock if it continued saying at this rate they would get four hands an hour.
Droege raised to 3,100 from the cut-off and Bogdan was his only caller from the big blind. They saw a flop of . Bogdan checked, Droege checked. The turn was the and Bogdan took very little time in betting 13,100. Droege took even less time to fold and commented. “That’s how it’s done sir.”
He didn’t win the pot but he seemed satisfied that he had got his point across.
