Wyraz Busts a Second Time

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Jessica Teusl
Jessica Teusl

Grzegorz Wyraz re-entered but won't be able to do so again after having just been eliminated by Jessica Teusl. The cards were all but rushed away and Wyraz' {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for tens and fives on an ace-high board were mucked while the pot was shipped over to Teussl.

According to Teusl, it was a multi-way pot with four players heading to the {A-}{10-}{5-} flop and the action was checked through. On the {5-Hearts} turn, Teusl over-bet for 4,000 and just Wyraz called to then see a blank {2-} on the river. Teusl moved all in and Wyraz called it off to get shown the bad news, as Teussl had {5-}{4-} for trips fives.

The rush continued right away, as Teusl raked in another decent pot with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} on a {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} board the very next hand. Jerome Sgorrano is also featured on this very same table.

Lalwani Jams Blind; Schmauch Busts

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Rakesh Lalwani
Rakesh Lalwani

Down to 6,800, Corentin Schmauch moved all in first to act and Dutch Boyd called on the dead button, the single big blind folded.

Corentin Schmauch: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Dutch Boyd: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

The board came {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and the kicker played to eliminate Schmauch.

Two tables over, Rakesh Lalwani moved all in blind for what appeared to be 8,000 and was called two ways, by Bjoern Bouwmans and Mohame Lafchouch. The flop brought {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Michael Eiler joked to Lalwani "this might be a good flop for you."

Bouwmans moved all in and Lafchouch called instantly.

"You can turn them over now," Lalwani said to the dealer and his {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for two pair were exposed. Bouwmans had {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Lafchouch tabled his {K-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for the over pair. The {K-Spades} turn instantly locked up the double knockout, making the {8-Spades} river a formality.

Camarda More Than Doubles

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Salvatore Camarda
Salvatore Camarda

Joining the action on the four-way flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, Fabio Gamba moved all in for 8,100 and Yang Zhang called in the hijack. Salvatore Camarda in the cutoff reshoved for 19,000 and that forced out Evian Christ. Zhang gave it some thought and called.

Fabio Gamba: {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Salvatore Camarda: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Yang Zhang: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}

The {Q-Diamonds} turn gave Gamba the lead, but the {J-Spades} river improved Camarda to a straight.

Chris Bullimore
Chris Bullimore

On the flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, James Bullimore bet 7,500 after one opponent had checked to him and the {K-Spades} appeared on the turn. The opponent of the Brit instantly jammed and Bullimore snap-folded.

Only a few hands later, it was Bullimore that open-shoved for around 28,000 and Antal Roth reshoved from two seats over.

James Bullimore: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Antal Roth: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and Roth rivered the superior flush.

"It's a race, happens. I'll be back tomorrow," Bullimore said on the way out.

Dahan Caught Bluffing

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Asher Dahan
Asher Dahan

Tomer Lev called a big bet by Asher Dahan on the {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs} turn and Dahan then bet the {2-Clubs} river for 100,000. Lev had fewer than that behind and was sent deep into the think tank. After several minutes the clock was called on him and he called it off for the last 77,000.

Dahan tabled {10-Spades}{4-Spades} for a busted draw and Lev was visibly relieved with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

The Bubble Bursts in the First Hand

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Rafi Elharar
Rafi Elharar

There were two all in and call at separate tables. Salvatore Greco survived with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} versus {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} while Petr Vlcek became the bubble boy. He moved all in for 90,000 over the top of a 12,000 raise and two calls. The initial raiser and Konstantinos Tsirakidis folded, but Rafi Elharar eventually made the call.

Petr Vlcek: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Rafi Elharar: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The board came {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Elharar turning an unbeatable full house to let the bubble burst in the very first hand. Expect the floodgates to open now with plenty of shorter stacks still in contention.

Kaneoya and Petleshkov Depart

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Renato Kaneoya
Renato Kaneoya

Renato Kaneoya was all in from the hijack for the last 73,000 and big stack Francesco Delfoco called on the button.

Renato Kaneoya: {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Francesco Delfoco: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

"Wow, I am ahead, I didn't expect that," Kaneoya said just before the flop fell {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Delfoco had hit top pair and improved to a straight on the {10-Clubs} turn. Kaneoya needed a queen to avoid the elimination, but instead it was the {J-Spades} that fell on the river.

Shortly after Kaneoya's exit, Viliyan Petleshkov ran out of chips from one table over.

Mussini Skyrockets to the Top

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Attila Havacs
Attila Havacs

There was a double elimination on table 82 and the cards were already rushed away. A massive wall of chips was in front of Nico Mussini, which explained who had benefited from the double seat open, and the Italian confirmed a most cruel scenario.

Attila Havacs and Tal Noach had been all in preflop with pocket aces and Mussini called with pocket kings. A king appeared on the flop to leave both opponents drawing dead and Mussini has become the dominating chip leader.
