Out of a field of 190 entries, some 178 players remain upon completion of level two. They are heading out of the poker arena as the first 15-minute break has kicked off.
With around 10,000 in the middle to the ![]()
![]()
![]()
turn, Ferdi Pamdir bet 6,000. Bart Boermans was the only opponent and almost instantly raised to 15,000, sending Pamdir into a long tank.
Mulling it over for more than five minutes, Pamdir eventually sigh-folded the ![]()
face-up. "Good fold," Boermans said while raking in the pot and Pamdir chimed in "if it was a good fold, you have to show" but the cards were already pulled into the muck.
Michael Strauch chipped up early on with straight over straight and then three-bet an open raise and two callers from 700 to 3,200 while on the button. Yves Thalmann out of the big blind was one of three callers and the ![]()
![]()
flop was checked to Strauch, who bet 7,200.
Only Thalmann called before both then checked the
turn and
river. Thalmann revealed the ![]()
for nines and sevens to win the pot.
Joining the action on the ![]()

![]()
turn, Ivo Gerber's bet worth 10,000 was called by Iman Ghashayar and the duo headed to the
river. Gerber bet another 16,000 and Ghashayar called to then muck upon being shown ![]()
for the wheel.
Vinesh Kotecha bowed out and subsequently re-entered while two other players have run out of chips and didn't buy back in including Luca Serra and Adam Polek.
A three-bet to 2,500 by Arash Karimkhanzand was then four-bet to 6,500 by Marcello Miniucchi in the cutoff. Georges Sultanem on the button tossed in two T-5,000 chips without saying anything and the floor was called. It was ruled as just a call and Karimkhanzand called.
The ![]()
![]()
flop was checked by Karimkhanzand and Miniucchi bet 10,000. Sultanem pushed all-in for Karimkhanzand to fold and Miniucchi to snap-call.
Georges Sultanem: ![]()
![]()
Marcello Miniucchi: ![]()
![]()
Neither the
turn nor the
river provided any help to Sultanem and he became the next early casualtty, while Karimkhanzand mentioned in table chat to have folded pocket jacks.
Another player has been sent to the rail and that happened to be former WSOP Main Event finalist Pierre Neuville, who continues to run bad in the €1,700 Main Event at King's Resort.
With some 15,000 in the middle in a battle of short stacks over on table eight, Neuville in the hijack and Ferdi Pamdir got their chips in as follows.
Pierre Neuville: ![]()
![]()
Ferdi Pamdir: ![]()
![]()
The
turn improved Pamdir to the superior pair and left Neuville with the case queen as out. No miracle happened on the
river to send the Belgian to the rail.
David Hu entered and was involved in the first three-way pot to the ![]()

river. Sultanem tabled the ![]()
and chopped with the ![]()
of Miniucchi.
