Muller Takes Over the Lead Again

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a battle small blind versus cutoff, Gerrit Muller bet the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} turn for 18,000 and Karl Paeschke called to see the {5-Diamonds} on the river. Muller grabbed his remaining stack of T-5,000 chips and put them into the middle of the table to set Paeschke all in for effective 60,000.

Paeschke immediately sighed and leaned back in his seat. Half a minute passed and he sent his cards into the muck, allowing Muller to claim the pot without showdown.

Shaun Deeb, current 2018 WSOP Player of the Year leader, has also joined the mix along with Robert Auer and Martin Wendt on his second bullet.

Kooij's Queens Cracked

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Teunis Kooij
Teunis Kooij

Miroslav Prochazka raised and called a three-bet to 8,200 by table neighbor Teunis Kooij. On the flop of {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Prochazka checked and called the shove of Kooij for his last 13 big blinds.

Miroslav Prochazka: {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Teunis Kooij: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The {5-Diamonds} turn and {9-Hearts} river run changed nothing anymore and Kooij took a big hit to his stack.

"That's the new poker, just call and hit," Sebastian Langrock joked. Only a few minutes later, Langrock had no reason to joke anymore as he was eliminated for the second time on Day 1A.

Straight for Adamson; Double for Kabrhel

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On the tail end of a bigger pot between Vladimir Valent and Julian Adamson, the former check-called a bet for 20,000 on the river of a board {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Adamson turned over {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the six-high straight and further boosted his already impressive stack.

Martin Kabrhel had arrived just that moment on the table and proceeded to win a flip for exactly the starting stack with {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} versus {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} thanks to a king on the turn.

Lisandro No More

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jeff Lisandro had just been eliminated by Dariusz Glinski and the cards were already rushed away. It was the second bullet for Lisandro, who won't be able to re-enter in the final level of registration. Shaun Deeb had done so just now after busting on the first bullet.

Back to Lisandro's table, it was Casey Kastle who raised to 2,400 from early position. Anatolii Zyrin reraised to 5,000 and Kastle called. Both checked the {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop and Kastle check-folded the {Q-Diamonds} turn when facing a bet of 4,000.

Ondrej Lon was all in and at risk just when the blinds were about to go up and tabled the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Philipp Zukernik had him covered and held two over cards in {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The board favored Zukernik, who hit trips kings on {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Spades}{A-Spades} to send Lon to the rail.
