Brimmers Back Above the Starting Stack

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Gerhard Brimmers
Gerhard Brimmers

Gerhard Brimmers had earlier lost a portion of his stack with kings and was left short. He then got it in preflop in a three-way all-in against Mario Baietta and Rotem Chen.

Mario Baietta: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Gerhard Brimmers: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Rotem Chen: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Brimmers nearly tripled up as Baietta hit the rail.

Schmitz Out and Back In

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Tonino Schmitz
Tonino Schmitz

"I saw his watch and then it was obvious what to do," Leon Rewald joked after he had just knocked out Tonino Schmitz. The latter pushed into a squeeze worth 30,000 by Rewald and was snap-called for the following preflop showdown.

Tonino Schmitz: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Leon Rewald: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

"It's coming anyways," Schmitz joked but the {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop had him on the brink of elimination. It was all over on the {3-Clubs} turn to make the {j-Spades} river a formality.

"No worries, I will be right back, re-entry," Schmitz said with a grin on the face.

Ruzicka Doubles Through Van Boxtel

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Vojtech Ruzicka
Vojtech Ruzicka

On the completed board of {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} with exactly 37,000 in the middle, Vojtech Ruzicka pushed all-in for 31,700. Raul van Boxtel was his sole remaining opponent and asked the dealer to spread the pot while he was in the tank.

Ultimately, the Dutchman called and Ruzicka tabled the {k-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flush. "He can have everything there, ace king ..." van Boxtel said as he had exposed the {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a hero-call gone wrong.

Mauerhoff Eliminated by Smolka

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dawid Smolka
Dawid Smolka

Uwe Mauerhoff was all-in already and awaited his fate on a flop of {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Dawid Smolka then bet to isolate and the cards were flipped over.

Uwe Mauerhoff: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Dawid Smolka: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The {9-Hearts} turn and {10-Hearts} river brought running hearts and Mauerhoff sighed "wrong ten" before heading to the rail.

Pal Doubles Through Duerschlag

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Levente Pal
Levente Pal

With some 17,000 in the middle and the flop showing {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Christian Duerschlag bet 6,500 and Levente Pal then raised to 20,000. Duerschlag pushed all-in and Pal called it off rather swiftly within a few seconds.

Levente Pal: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Christian Duerschlag: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Duerschlag's gutshot straight flush draw had a ton of outs but bricked the {8-Spades} turn and {8-Clubs} river. "Top pair top kicker," Pal shrugged while the dealer counted his double for 107,600.

Duerschlag had a few chips left but lost those momentarily.

Hanel Eliminated in Large Pot Against Ju

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jaromir Hanel
Jaromir Hanel

The action started with a raise to 2,600 by Ingo Paulus and Jaromir Hanel made it 7,500 to go, which Samuel Ju called, while Paulus folded.

Following a flop of {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, Ju checked and Hanel bet 8,800. A massive check-raise to 54,000 by Ju followed and he then snap-called the shove by Hanel for around 130,000.

Jaromir Hanel: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Samuel Ju: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

Neither the {7-Clubs} turn nor the {3-Clubs} river came to the rescue for Hanel and Ju skyrocketed to the top of the leaderboard.

Usta Busts With Zero Equity

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ibrahim Usta
Ibrahim Usta

In a limp-raised three-way pot to the {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop, it checked to Ibrahim Usta in the cutoff and he pushed all-in for around 32,000. Dawid Smolka in the small blind check-jammed and Riadh Ben Farhat had the easiest all-in call of his poker career thus far.

Ibrahim Usta: {6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Riadh Ben Farhat: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Dawid Smolka: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Smolka had one out but bricked the {10-Clubs} turn as well as the {j-Diamonds} river, while Ben Farhat more than doubled with the elimination of Usta.

Refos Prevails in Three-Way All-In Contest

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Raoul Refos
Raoul Refos

The cards on the "Dutch home game table" were on their backs already with Roberto Manfredi and Raoul Refos at risk against Raul van Boxtel.

Roberto Manfredi: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Raoul Refos: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Raul van Boxtel: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop changed nothing but Manfredi took the lead on the {k-Spades} turn. However, Refos got there with the {q-Diamonds} river and nearly tripled up for 35,100 as he had Manfredi narrowly covered.

Ruzicka Scores Double Knockout to Take the Lead

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Vojtech Ruzicka
Vojtech Ruzicka

With a massive pot of some 180,000 to the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} river, Tobias Fischer pushed all-in from the small blind for 70,000.

Vojtech Ruzicka moved all-in over the top and that put Helmut Phung into the tank. He eventually called it off as the second-biggest stack in the showdown and Fischer tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a second.

That, however, was instantly mucked when Ruzicka exposed his {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. A depleted Phung showed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and left the table with a perplexed expression. "I can't give him a ten there, maybe jacks or queens ... ."

Allegra Runs Into Nine-High Like a Boss

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
William Kassouf
William Kassouf

William Kassouf faced a bet worth 25,000 by Natale Allegra on the {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop and raised it up to 65,000. Allegra pushed all-in and was snap-called for a very specific reason.

Natale Allegra: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
William Kassouf: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

Only a miracle could keep Allegra alive as he needed running cards for a full house. Instead, Kassouf further improved to a flush with the {5-Spades}{q-Spades} runout on turn and river to end Day 1b with a decent stack.

"Nine high like a boss, it's my hand ... I got my chips in ahead," the jovial Brit concluded.
