A three-bet to 2,000 was in front of Fabian Gumz on the button and his sole remaining opponent in the hijack reraised to 4,700. Gumz gave it some consideration and called to see a flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. The hijack only briefly hesitated before firing a continuation bet of 5,000 and Gumz folded.

Cormier Busts to Quads

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Jeff Cormier
Jeff Cormier

Thomas Pettersson picked up back-to-back kings and won both of them, doubling his stack through Oliver Heidel.

Then, Cosmin Joldis raised to 700 and Teunis Kooij called from one seat over, as did Pettersson. "Three in a row?" Jeff Cormier asked to Pettersson and announced all in soon after. Joldis asked for a count and reshoved to the 10,800 jam of Cormier, which forced out Kooij and Pettersson.

"You can't have black kings because I have one of them," Cormier joked and turned over {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. Joldis rolled over {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and the flop fell {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. "I am dead," Cormier sighed and added "I am so dead" on the {Q-Diamonds} turn when Joldis improved to quads, the {J-Spades} river was already a formality.

Soon after, Joldis got value from {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for top pair after his opponent in tzhe small blind check-called bets of 1,800 on the {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} turn and 3,400 on the {3-Hearts} river.

Onto the Next One for Ferguson

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jelinek and Boatman Eliminated

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Petr Jelinek was all in and at risk for around 8,000 with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and his table neighbor took the flip with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. The board came {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and that was it for the Czech.

One table over, Barny Boatman got his stack in with {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} against the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} of Jeff Cormier, who had just sat down for his second bullet, and the board came {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{K-Clubs} to bust Boatman. The same table also featured Sam Grafton and broke right after, Ivo Donev had busted there before as well.

Among the players to have already busted twice on Day 1e was Petr Targa, who will have to re-enter on Day 1f as of 6 p.m. local time.

Pop and Halleux Chop it Up

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

In a min-raised pot to the flop of {K-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}, the big blind checked as did Fabrice Halleux in the cutoff and Catalin Pop on the button. The {2-Clubs} turn and {4-Clubs} river were checked through also and the big blind mucked his cards. Halleux showed {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Pop chopped it with {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. "Oh crap, I had {10-Spades}{6-Spades}," the big blind said and added "but what do I beat?"

Chop It Up Some More

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Aneris Adomkevicius raised to 800 on the button and the small blind called, as did Roland Israelashvili in the big blind. On the {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop all three players checked and the {7-Hearts} fell on the turn. The small blind checked and subsequently folded to a bet of 1,000 by Israelashvili and a raise to 3,000 by Adomkevicius. Israelashvili moved all in and was snap-called.

Aneris Adomkevicius: {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Roland Israelashvili: {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The {A-Diamonds} river was already meaningless as the split pot was guaranteed.
