Spitzenstaetter Jams; Shows Queens

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Three-way to the {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, Peter Slustik bet 12,000 and Hubert Spitzenstaetter moved all in for 39,600. Riccardo Saitta leaned back in his chair and had a decision ahead on the button, but opted to fold. Slustik only gave it very brief consideration and also let go.

Spitzenstaetter raked in the pot and flipped over {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for the overpair.

Sances and Clinkscales No More

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

On the three-way turn of {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, there was a bet of 5,000 and the shove of Giovanni Sances for around 16,000. Volodymyr Kernytskyi moved all in over the top and that forced out the third player in the hand.

Giovanni Sances: {K-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Volodymyr Kernytskyi: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The {8-Clubs} on the river was a blank and Sances was eliminated.

"I knew he had the king of hearts," Kernytskyi said.

Rex Clinkscales was also on the way out of the tournament area. His {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for middle pair on a king-high flop were still visible, but he was drawing dead on the turn as his opponent held {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a flopped set of fours.

Topoly Thriving; Desset Not

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

With 11,000 in the middle and the turn showing {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}, Milan Topoly checked and called a bet of 4,000 by his table neighbor. Topoly then led the {5-Spades} river for 8,000 and his opponent thought about it for half a minute, then sent his cards into the muck. Topoly flashed the {A-Spades} for the nut flush.

The table no longer features Giuliano Bendinelli, who has been eliminated some time ago as confirmed by Micky Blasi.

Andrej Desset will also have to re-enter as he just lost a flip against Silman Horiacher. Desset was all in for around 16,000 with the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Horiacher held the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}. The board of {J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} left the Slovakian drawing dead on the turn.

Eiermann Wins a Big One

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

Werner Nather was all in for just 6,000 and Toni Haemaelaeinen called. Mark Eiermann then three-bet to 13,000 and Haemaelaeinen moved all in, Eiermann almost beat him into the pot.

Werner Nather: {K-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Mark Eiermann: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Toni Haemaelaeinen: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop changed nothing much, and the {K-Hearts} turn instantly secured the big pot for Eiermann to make the {7-Diamonds} river a formality. Eiermann doubled through Haemaelaeinen for 42,400 and the Finn busted shortly after.

Teunis Kooij
Teunis Kooij

Michel Fajga raised to 2,000 and Giovanni Grela moved all in for 12,200 on the button. Teunis Kooij reshoved the small blind for 16,500 and Fajga asked for a count, then reluctantly called.

Giovanni Grela: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Teunis Kooij: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Michel Fajga: {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The board came {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Grela tripled up. Kooij was left short, lost the second hand in a row with ace-queen and then bowed out with ace-jack shortly after.
