Jan-Dirk Wieckenberg Is The Bubble

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jan-Dirk Wieckenberg
Jan-Dirk Wieckenberg

With a super short stack, Jan-Dirk Wieckenberg was forced all in from the big blind. Action was folded around to Jorg Peisert in the small blind, who automatically had a call.

Jorg Peisert: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Jan-Dirk Wieckenberg: {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The media swooped in and all the cameras were pointed at Wieckenberg, who awaited his fate with a smile.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, giving the German a glimmer of hope. The turn was the {9-Spades}, and Wieckenberg was drawing to an eight or four to stay alive.

The river {10-Hearts} was neither, which made Wieckenberg the last player to go home empty-handed. All the other players are guaranteed at least €3,759.

All In Stays In

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After five hand-for-hands, a short stacked player was at risk with his last 10,000 in chips. Holding {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}, he got a call from {A-Clubs}{4-Spades} and {K-}{7-}, but spiked a queen on {2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} to survive.

Verhaegen Sends Stanojic Home With Nothing

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Francisco Arce, who's coming off a rough hour, limped in from under the gun. Milenko Stanojic limped along in middle position. Wim Verhaegen made it 35,000 from late position and Arce called.

With the action back on Stanojic, the Dutchman moved all in for 110,000. Verhaegen also shoved and Arce folded his hand.

Milenko Stanojic: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Wim Verhaegen: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

It was a setup for Stanojic, who's chances at survival became really slim after the {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop. The {4-Clubs} on the turn sealed it, making the {8-Hearts} on the river meaningless.

With Stanojic's eliminated in 89th place, players are now playing hand-for-hand until the money has been reached.

Akenhead and Mrakes Eliminated

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

There will be no in-the-money finish for James Akenhead and Michal Mrakes in this WSOP Circuit Main Event.

Akenhead committed his last 30,000 from late position with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The big blind called the shove with {A-Spades}{6-Clubs} and made a runner-runner flush on {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} to send Akenhead home.

Mrakes faced an all-in bet on {7-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. With his last 120,000 in chips, Mrakes made the call with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, but went aghast when his opponent showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for the turned set. The river was the {9-Spades} and Mrakes was sent packing.

The field is now two places away from the money.

Wendlandt Crushes Cintula's Hopes

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Henning Wendlandt
Henning Wendlandt

Once again, Henning Wendlandt has crushed the dreams of one of his opponents. This time, Andrej Cintula was forced to a rail after a clash with the chipleader.

On a board of {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Spades}, all the chips of Cintula and Wendlandt went in the middle. Cintula held {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of nines and a straight draw, Wendlandt had {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for the better pair of nines and a flush draw.

The river {10-Spades} completed the flush for Wendlandt and sent Cintula home in 93rd place.

Team Georgia Down To Last Member

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Georgian Flag
Georgian Flag

A massive group of players from Georgia has settled down in Rozvadov to play in the Main Event. Represented by a full-fledged reporting team, including their own camera's, the Georgians seemed poised to leave a big mark on this event. Their group was so big that an entire bus was needed to bring every Georgian from Prague airport to Rozvadov.

Unfortunately, things didn't quite go as planned. Out of the twenty-something Georgians that took their seat in this event, the former Soviet-state is down to their last member. It's Valeri Bakhturidze who has the hope of an entire nation resting on his shoulders.

Deeply tucked away in his hoodie, the Georgian is fully focused and trying to survive. With 250,000, he's hanging around the average stack. The Georgian reporting team isn't leaving his side and captures every move of their hero as he moves closer to the money.
