Benguigui Busts Greco and Pelzers

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Salvatore Greco
Salvatore Greco

After a flop of {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Salvatore Greco ended up all in and at risk and he was called two ways by Raphael Pelzers and Shlomi Benguigui. Pelzers splashed his remaining chips in after the {10-Diamonds} turn and Benguigui snap-called while enjoying a massage.

Salvatore Greco: {7-Spades}{2-Spades}
Raphael Pelzers: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Shlomi Benguigui: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

Benguigui had plenty of outs with the flush draw and gutshot, and he indeed got there with the {Q-Clubs} river to eliminate two opponents.

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Atik Miah raised to 400 on the button and was called by Laurent Rupp and Rainer Grab in the blinds. The flop brought {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and both players in the blinds checked to Miah, who continued for 1,100. Rupp folded and Grab quickly called.

After the {3-Spades} turn, Grab checked and called a bet of 1,700 before leading the {7-Hearts} river for 1,700 himself. Miah called and was shown the {K-Spades}{8-Clubs}, which he had beat with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

Skorepa Busts Early on First Bullet

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Matous Skorepa
Matous Skorepa

On the heads-up flop of {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Matous Skorepa was all in for just 4,900 and Matteo Martelli in the two seat tried to involve him in table chat. The Italian eventually called and Skorepa turned over the {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

Martelli tabled {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and the board completed with the {4-Diamonds} turn and {10-Spades} river. Martelli celebrated vividly and then explained in table chat after he had not noticed he held a set of jacks. Skorepa's empty seat was soon after filled with Peter Siemund, who busted in the previous flight.
