Mrakes Busts In Three-Way All In

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante
Vahid Amirzahiri
Vahid Amirzahiri

After a raise and a three-bet to 5,100 by Vahid Amirzahiri, Michal Mrakes moved all in for his last 10,850 on the button and Rifat Palevic reraised the pot to 42,250 in total. Amirzahiri called, prompting Palevic to say "it's a gamble" and the Swede announced all in in the dark before the flop fell {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Amirzahiri called all in for 16,075 and all cards were turned over.

Michal Mrakes: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Vahid Amirzahiri: {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}
Rifat Palevic: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

"I missed," Amirzahiri said and the board completed with the {K-Spades} turn and {J-Clubs} river. Amirzahiri's turned top pair and flush draw improved to two pair and he raked in a massive pot while Mrakes was sent to the rail.

Lyubovetskiy Busts Donev and Gets Some More

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante
Ivo Donev
Ivo Donev

After a raise to 1,500 by Andriy Lyubovetskiy, Ivo Donev got his stack of 4,500 in from the big blind with {K-}{J-}{J-}{5-} and the Ukrainian called with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The flop fell {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Donev was in need of running outs to avoid elimination. The {10-Spades} turn was one of those cards but Donev still needed a jack or ten. Instead the {4-Clubs} river bricked off and the Austrian was eliminated.

The next hand, Lyubovetskiy raised to 1,500 again and picked up two callers including Chris Ferguson in the big blind. On the [LKhQdJh] flop all three players checked and Lyubovetskiy's bet of 2,500 on the {A-Hearts} turn was called by the player in the cutoff only. After the {5-Spades} river, the Ukrainian bet 7,000 and he was paid off eventually to turn over {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a flush.

John Racener
John Racener

Alfredo Vega Meister busted in a three-way all in when his {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a wrap on the {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop was no good. Bianca Jacobs with {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and John Racener with {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} were also in the pot and the {A-Spades} turn and {Q-Clubs} river run out saw Racener double through Jacobs in the bigger side pot for 48,400.

One table over, Mikko Hirvonen busted a second time in just three levels and sent his stack over fo Willm Engelke.

Jacobs Busts With Full House

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante
Georgios Koliofotis
Georgios Koliofotis

On the flop of {J-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, a pot of 6,275 had emerged and Stanislav Parkhomenko bet 6,000 out of the big blind. Bianca Jacobs raised the pot to 24,300 and Georgios Koliofotis called on the button before Parkhomenko tank-folded.

The {J-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Jacobs moved all in for her remaining 7,500, which Koliofotis snap-called. "Do you have jacks?" Jacobs asked and Koliofotis nodded. "Yes I have jacks," and Jacobs was taken aback before the cards were tabled.

Bianca Jacobs: {K-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Georgios Koliofotis: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Jacobs had improved to a full house, but was already drawing dead to the quads of Koliofotis, making the {K-Hearts} river a formality.

Defending Champion Richard Gryko

At 2 p.m. local time, the sixth out of eleven bracelet events at the 2017 World Series of Poker Europe kicks off at the King's Casino in Rozvadov with Day 1 of Event #6 €2,200 Pot-Limit Omaha. It is the second Omaha event of the festival and Event #2 €550 Pot-Limit Omaha champion Andreas Klatt is among those expected to join the action today.

Defending champion of the event is UK's Richard Gryko, who won his first WSOP bracelet back in 2015 in Berlin after defeating Mike Leah in heads-up in a 161-entry strong field. Gryko finished 18th in the 2017 WSOP Main Event for $340,000 but hasn't shown up yet in Rozvadov, while Leah has already cashed in two events including a 10th place in Event #3 €1,100 Turbo Bounty Hunter.

Day 1 will feature a total of 15 levels of 40 minutes each and the registration remains open for nine levels and the following dinner break, until approximately 9.40 p.m. local time. All players receive 40,000 in chips and unlimited re-entries are permitted during the registration period.

Also most likely back in action in the hunt for vital 2017 WSOP Player of the Year points are Chris Ferguson, Alex Foxen, John Racener, Ryan Hughes and Kenny Hallaert. Hughes and Ferguson cashed in Event #4 €1,650 6-max while Foxen and Racener bagged up chips on Day 1b of Event #5 €550 THE COLOSSUS last night.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor to provide all the action until a winner is crowned in this three-day tournament.
