Sander van Wesemael third in chips for Day 2

The 2017 World Series of Poker International Circuit at the King's Casino Rozvadov is in full swing with several WSOP Circuit rings already being awarded and the €5,300 High Roller has kicked off yesterday. A field of 31 entries including two re-entries emerged thus far after nine levels of 45 minutes each, and 22 hopefuls bagged up chips for Day 2.

Pavel Plesuv held onto the top spot with 166,700 despite a late surge by Ognjen Sekularac (162,100) while Dutchman Sander van Wesemael enters Day 2 with 133,100. Other notables in contention include Vadzim Lipauka (102,200), Felipe Ramos (101,300), Pierre Neuville (81,800), Czech high stakes specialist Pavel Binar (58,200), Viliyan Petleshkov (42,400), and Aleksandar Tomovic (38,400).

The late registration in Europe's biggest poker arena remains open for the first two levels of the day as of 4 p.m. local time and action recommences with level 10 and blinds of 600-1,200 with a running ante of 200. Furthermore, a single re-entry remains available for all players except Aviv Meiri and Fahredin Mustafov, and among those expected to likely join is also Phil Hellmuth. The 14-time WSOP bracelet winner finished 7th for €6,991 in yesterday's €2,200 Pot-Limit Omaha Event to add a Czech flag to his extraordinary poker resume.

Plesuv Missing as Ramos Takes the Lead

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Pavel Plesuv
Pavel Plesuv

Felipe Ramos arrived some 10 minutes late for the restart and made an immediate impact after, while start-of-the-day chip leader Pavel Plesuv was spotted leaving the table with a grin on the face. According to Ramos, he won a bigger pot in a three-bet hand right after he sat down where he check-raised the turn and led big on the river to force a fold from Plesuv.

Soon after they got into a raising war again and Plesuv five-bet jammed {K-}{Q-} into the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} of Ramos to hit the rail in the first level of Day 2.

Zadeh Doubles Again

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Seyed Zadeh
Seyed Zadeh

Pavel Plesuv has re-entered and got the same table, albeit a different seat, and now faces Fahredin Mustafov to his right.

Seyed Zadeh avoided the re-entry for now after spiking a double through Michal Ozimek. Zadah was all in and at risk with the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Ozimek looked him up with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} only to see the board run out {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Brandau Eliminated For Good

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Mike Brandau
Mike Brandau

Picking up the action on the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, Mike Brandau bet 11,000 in late position and was called by Pierre Neuville on the button. After the {2-Spades} turn, Brandau moved all in for 12,600 and Neuville called.

Mike Brandau: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Pierre Neuville: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The {9-Hearts} river failed to improve the German and he became the first player to be eliminated for good, as he already re-entered previously.

Gleissner Doubles Through Ruzicka

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Bernd Gleissner
Bernd Gleissner

Two short stacks collided in Bernd Gleissner out of the big blind and Vojtech Ruzicka in early position. The former was all in with the {A-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Ruzicka looked him up with {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. The board of {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{J-Spades} failed to improve Ruzicka and he lost more than half of his stack.

Aviv Meiri Eliminated

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Aviv Meiri
Aviv Meiri

Felix Schulze raised from under the gun and Aviv Meiri as well as Robert Schulz in the big blind called. On the {J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, Schulze continued for 5,000 and Meiri raised to 11,500, forcing out Schulz and picking up a call by Schulze.

After the {9-Diamonds} turn, Schulze checked and called the shove of Meiri with {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} to see the player from Israel turn over {8-}{7-} for an open-ended straight draw only. A blank {Q-Hearts} river was of no help for Meiri and he was eliminated.

Martin Kabrhel Eliminated by Pierre Neuville

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

The remaining 38,000 of Martin Kabrhel went in before the flop with {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Pierre Neuville called with the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The board came {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Kabrhel was drawing dead to win the pot on the turn, he could only chop it with a straight on the board before his inferior set on the river was a blank.

"Good luck Pierre. Good luck everyone," Kabrhel added and grabbed his hippo on the way out.

Panek and Sklenicka Eliminated

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Michael Sklenicka
Michael Sklenicka

The redraw of the last two tables was barely done when Tomasz Panek moved all in for 15,000. Felix Schulze called in the cutoff and flipped over pocket tens, while Panek only had pocket fours and failed to get there.

Soon after, Michael Sklenicka was all in for what appeared to be 46,000 and showed {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Robert Schulz, who had taken a hit to the stack recently, quickly called with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. The board came {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Spades} and the kicker played, eliminating Sklenicka as a result and reducing the field to the last 14.

Mustafov Doubles Through Ramos

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Fahredin Mustafov
Fahredin Mustafov

Felipe Ramos and Fahredin Mustafov invested 14,000 preflop to see a flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Ramos check-called a bet of 9,000. Both checked the {2-Hearts} turn and Ramos also checked the {2-Diamonds} river. Mustafov moved all in for 74,800 and Ramos didn't believe him, tossing in a call after plenty of consideration.

Mustafov rolled over {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Ramos mucked {A-Spades}{3-Spades}. "Was that a bluff?" the Brazilian asked and Mustafov shook his head with a smile. This also means that Felix Schulze now holds the biggest stack on their respective table.

Sekularac's Massive Bluff Fails

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Ognjen Sekularac
Ognjen Sekularac

Robert Schulz raised toi 5,500 and Ognjen Sekularac called on the button. Fabrice Halleux three-bet to 22,400 in the big blind and both opponents called. On the {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, Halleux's continuation bet of 17,100 was called by both opponents and the {J-Clubs} appeared on the turn.

Now the action checked to Sekularac and the Serbian bet 47,400 to force out Halleux. Schulz however had other plans and eyed the stack of Sekularac before calling. The {4-Hearts} river brought a check by Schulz and Sekularac moved all in for just over 100,000 to receive a snap-call by the German.

Sekularac turned over {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a queen-high bluff and Schulz raked in the massive pot with {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a flopped set.
