Bstieler Triples Up in Battle of Pocket Pairs

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

A three-way all in saw Yitshak Bahar take on Peter Bstieler and Jesper [Removed:555], and Bstieler was the player at risk for some 25,000 with the worst of it.

Peter Bstieler: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Jesper [Removed:555]: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Yitshak Bahar: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board of {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} gave Bstieler a miracle set on the river to triple up while [Removed:555] won the small side pot to remain in contention.

Baric and Zipf on the Rail

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ivan Baric eventually ran out of chips. The Croatian got the rest of his short stack in with the {A-Spades}{5-Spades} and Tal Shemon Cohen looked him up with the {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. The flop of {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop left Baric in desperate shape, and it was all over after the {6-Diamonds} turn to make the {K-Clubs} river a formality.

Robert Zipf's run also came to an end. The German was all in with {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} against the {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} of Tobias Bornefalk and the board came {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to give Bornefalk a straight.

Big Stacks Rising to the Top

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Halleux Busts to Zisimopoulos

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Fabrice Hallieux
Fabrice Hallieux

Fabrice Halleux moved all in from the cutoff for his last 20,100 and Georgios Zisimopoulos called after giving it some thought in the big blind.

Fabrice Halleux: {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Georgios Zisimopoulos: {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Halleux raised an eyebrow when he spotted the cards and Zisimopoulos grinned, then said "it is suited, I can't help it."

The board of {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} indeed improved Zisimopoulos and Halleux left the table, not before sending out some words including "stupid call" over to the other side of the table.

Castelluccio Rivers a Flush, ElkY Eliminated

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Sergio Castelluccio
Sergio Castelluccio

Yehuda Cohen opened to 5,000 from the hijack and Sergio Castelluccio pushed all-in for 29,200 on the button. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier was the short stack in the big blind and put his last 13,000 in the middle as well. Cohen made the call and all three hands were face up.

Castelluccio: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Cohen: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Grospellier: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Cohen hit a pair of jacks to take the lead but Castelluccio picked up a flush draw. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, changing nothing, and the river brought the {10-Spades}. Castelluccio rivered a flush and doubled through Cohen, while eliminating Grospellier late in the evening.

Kortan From Hero to Zero

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Sander van Wesemael
Sander van Wesemael

In the last break, Veysel Kortan was the dominating chip leader and now his stack has been reduced to zero, his seat was empty and Sander van Wesemael was all smiles on the other side of the table.

According to van Wesemael, Kortan raised blind to 3,200 in the previous level and one opponent called before the Dutchman three-bet to 11,000. Only Kortan called and check-raised a flop of {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades} from 10,000 to 28,000, which van Wesemael called. After the {9-} turn, Kortan bet 28,000 and picked up a call before shoving the {K-} river for 47,500.

Van Wesemael said in table chat he would need some time to make up the mind, to which the clock was called but not enforced yet. After more consideration, van Wesemael called with the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for two pair and Kortan sheepishly turned over {7-}{3-} (no spade) for complete air to bust with a bang.

Kürschner Doubles

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Matthias Kürschner
Matthias Kürschner

Among those to build their stacks recently were Georgios Zisimopoulos, Christophe Pereira and Matthias Kürschner. The latter had started extremely well and jumped to 90,000 in the first hours of the day.

Things didn't so well as of lately and Kürschner was all in for around 35,000 with the {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. He faced an opponent with pocket nines and the board came {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to give the German a full house.

Kabrhel's Rollercoaster of a Day Ends in Tragedy

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Konstantinos Tsirakidis
Konstantinos Tsirakidis

The flop read {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Martin Kabrhel checked to his opponent who fired a bet of 6,400 into a pot of around 8,000. Kabrhel check-raised to 13,000 and his opponent pushed all-in. Kabrhel snapped him off and tabled {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a set. His opponent was drawing to a chop with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and the river brought the {5-Clubs} to earn Kabrhel a double up to over 80,000 chips.

A few hands later, Kabrhel was involved in a three-way pot with Konstantinos Tsirakidis and one other player that was all-in for around 15,000. The flop came {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and the action was checked to Kabrhel who bet 14,000 on the button. Tsirakidis check-raised to 33,000 and Kabrhel shipped all-in. Tsirakidis instantly called and tabled {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Kabrhel showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and the all-in player held {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and the river brought the {5-Spades}. Tsirakidis doubled up through Kabrhel leaving him with just 12,000 chips.

Soon after, Kabrhel got the remaining chips in from the cutoff with the {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Kai Gimre in the big blind called with {A-Spades}{5-Spades}. The board ran out {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts} and ace-high was good enough to drag in the pot and eliminate Kabrhel.
