Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Octavian Voegele had squeezed preflop to get called by Yoon Choi only as they headed to the K♣5♥2♣ flop. Choi check-called for 16,000 and the 10♦ turn was checked. Once Choi checked the J♣ river, Voegele wagered his last 38,000 and that forced a fold of his opponent.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gary McCoy opened from middle position to 5,000, and immediately faced a three-bet from Darrell Washburn, one seat to his left. Action folded back to McCoy, who made the call.

The dealer fanned a 10♥5♠5♥ flop, which both players chose to check.

McCoy checked for a second time on the 7♦ turn, which prompted Washburn to pick his betting lead back up, doing so for 17,000. There was no interest in continuing from McCoy, who returned his cards to the dealer.

Action was picked up with big blind Jean Kleemann all-in for 70,000 on a flop of 2♣5♦4♥ with a pot of 137,500. Action was with Masato Yokosawa , in cutoff and his heads-up opponent, who ultimately made the call.

Jean Kleemann: 5♥4♣ All in
Masato Yokosawa: 2♠2♦

Kleeman had top two pair while Yokosawa was ahead with bottom set. The runout 8♠6♣ didn't help Kleeman. Yokosawa scooped a monster pot as Kleeman bid his table good luck.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Scott Baumstein opened to 4,000 from early position and Seun Oluwole called from the cutoff. Joseph Szoke also defended the big blind, taking the players three-ways to the flop.

The 8♥6♦4♥ fell, and Szoke checked with Oluwole betting 8,000. Both players called behind and they saw the A♦ turn.

Action was checked to the 7♥ river and again to showdown.

Joseph Szoke showed 9♦9♣ for a pair of nines but Scott Baumstein turned over 9♥6♥ for a flush.

Oluwole mucked, and Baumstein scooped the small pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Just before their table broke, Dillon Najor clashed with Roberto Bianchi when both players rivered a flush on the 10♠5♦3♦5♠J♦ board. The 6♦2♦ of Najor were no good, as Bianchi had that crushed holding the A♦Q♦ to score the late knockout and further rise up the leaderboard.

Girish Reknar: K♣J♠ All in
Joshua Feiger: A♥10♣

The board ran out 4♣7♠9♥5♣10♥ and the pair of tens was good for Feiger to take down the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was picked up on the 6♥10♥10♦7♦ turn, where Thomas Eychenne fired a bet of 30,000 from the cutoff. Mike Matusow called in the hijack, after which Eychenne moved all in on the 3♠ river, covering the 103,000 of Matusow.

Matusow gave it some thought, but he ultimately chose to fold his hand and battle on with his remaining chips.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nicholas Beecher opened from under the gun to 4,000 and, just two seats to his left, Ioannis Pentefountas moved all in for 30,000. The action then folded to Kenneth Heaton in the cutoff, who also chose to move all in, his stack sitting at 62,000.

Beecher spent a moment deliberating but ultimately decided to part ways with his pocket jacks.

The two remaining players revealed their cards, and it transpired that Beecher had made a correct fold.

Ioannis Pentefountas: 10♦10♣ All in
Kenneth Heaton: K♦K♣

Beecher went from a man of contentment to a man of regret, as the dealer spread a 7♠8♠J♦ flop. Crucially, though, Heaton still had the lead.

It would stay that way on the 6♦ turn and the 8♦ river, sealing Pentefountas' fate, late into Day 2.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

John Dlubala raised under the gun to 4,500 and got calls from Sergio Barrios in early position, Graham Mathews in middle position, and Vincent Napolitano in the big blind.

The flop came 4♣8♥K♦, Napolitano checked, and Dlubala continued for 4,500. Barrios called, as did Mathews, and Napolitano then folded.

The 7♦ fell on the turn, and now it was checked to Mathews, who put out a bet of 15,500. Dlubala folded, and Barrios went into the tank for a while before he released his cards.

Correia went deep into the tank before eventually folding, and Maniable showed 9♥8♣ for the straight. "I had a flopped straight" told Correia to the table.
