Leonardo Armino Bubbles Day 1H

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Leonardo Armino
Leonardo Armino

In the second hand of hand-for-hand mode, Leonardo Armino was all in for 148,000 on the {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop and Markus Sturz had looked him up. Once all other tables were finished, the cards were turned over.

Leonardo Armino: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Markus Sturz: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

The {A-Diamonds} turn sent Armino from hero to almost zero and he had just one out left. It wasn't meant to be, as the blank {4-Diamonds} river failed to improve the Dutchman. Armino has thus become the bubble boy of the final flight and action will recommence shortly after one table breaks.

The First Bustouts in the Money

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

Peter Kamaras was first to leave with a min-cash and he was followed by Agostino Ascone and Johnny Oestbjerg. The latter three-bet shoved for around 50,000 into a raise by Markus Sturz and was snap-called.

Johnny Oestbjerg: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Markus Sturz: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The board of {J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} brought little reason for excitement for Oestbjerg and he collected €801 for his efforts.

Ersin Sancak was already all in and Nicolas Pilato called all in for less, big stack Piotr Wiecek came along to put two players at risk.

Kessler Busts Ibrahimi

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ahmed Ibrahimi moved all in for five big blinds on the button and Allen Kessler reshoved from the small blind. Yaron Kuznik in the big blind asked for a count and folded when it was deemed to be 106,000 in total to call for Kessler's all in.

Ahmed Ibrahimi: {A-Spades}{2-Spades}
Allen Kessler: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

There was no upset on the board of {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Kessler edged closer to a playable stack for Day 2.

Barkat Busts to Mandl

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Hanan Barzel followed soon after and met countryman Barkat at the payout desk.

Bertu Left With Crumbs; Teunis Eliminated

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Patrick Scaramozza shoved for 67,000 and fellow Italian Christian Bertu called in the big blind. Scaramozza had the {9-Spades}{5-Spades} and Bertu the superior {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. However, the board came {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Scaramozza spiked a lucky double.

Jan Teunis got his stack in with the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Dejan Jakovljevic looked him up with the {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. The {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board sent Teunis to the rail.
