Hasson Halts Katzenberger

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Gary Hasson
Gary Hasson

Gary Hasson raised from the button and Viktor Katzenberger three-bet to 40,000 in the big blind which Hasson called.

The flop came {j-Spades}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, Katzenberger continued with a bet of 25,000 and was called by Hasson.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}, Katzenberger now bet 80,000 which Hasson called again.

The river completed the board with the {a-Spades}, Katzenberger now tanked and then shoved, Hasson called quite quickly. Katzenberger sighed and got up from his chair and flipped over {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for the two pair of aces and sixes and knew he was beat. Hasson turned over {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for the rivered trip aces.

Ludovic Geilich
Ludovic Geilich

Alexandre Viard opened to 11,000 and Elias Talvitie three-bet all in for 120,000. The remaining players all folded and Viard called.

Alexandre Viard: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Elias Talvitie {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts} and despite the flush draw, Talvitie was eliminated.

Meanwhile, Ludovic Geilich was spotted heading to the exit. Kristen Bicknell informed us that he three-bet all in over an open from Milos Skrbic.

Skrbic called and his {k-}{k-} called against the {k-}{q-} of Geilich.

Dark Times for Farrell

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Everyone folded to Niall Farrell on the button, who made it 12,000 to go. Liwei Sun three-bet to 48,000 from the big blind and Farrell called. The flop was {9-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Sun continued for 32,000, which Farrell called.

The turn brought the {2-Clubs} and Sun kept up the aggression with a bet of 89,000. Farrell took his time before sliding in another call.

The {Q-Hearts} on the river certainly was interesting, but Sun didn't seem taken aback by it and kept pounding with a hefty bet of 182,000. Farrell, clearly not liking the situation, mulled it over some more before putting in the final call.

Sun rolled over {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for aces and queens with the king kicker. It was good; Farrell mucked his hand and paid off the bet to bring Sun up to over a million.

Lukacs Collects Even More

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Bulcsu Lukacs raised to 12,000 from mid-position and Elias Talvitie three-bet to 35,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Lukacs who called.

They both checked through the {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop to the {3-Spades} on the turn. Lukacs bet 41,000 which Talvitie called to see the {k-Diamonds} complete the board on the river. Now Lukacs bet 80,000, Talvitie considered it for a bit but opted to fold in the end.

Nurzynski Scores Big Double Through Bujtas

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Moments after Ernests Patajs was eliminated by Laszlo Bujtas, the latter was involved in another large pot against Piotr Nurzynski.

It appeared that Bujtas had opened, Nurzynski had three-bet, Bujtas had then four-bet and Nurzynski had shoved. Bujtas made the call.

Laszlo Bujtas: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Piotr Nurzynski: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Bujtas had run into it and needed to spike an ace to chip up even further. However, the board came {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Nurzynski doubled up.

Bujtas Drags Another Big One

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Yesterday, Laszlo Bujtas was involved in one of the largest pots of the day, and in the first level of Day 3 the Hungarian dragged another big pot that ended Ernests Patajs' tournament life on the spot.

Both Bujtas and Patajs had been building a sizable pot already on earlier streets, which built the pot already up to around 350,000 when the river was dealt on {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Patajs bet 50,000, with around 150,000 behind, and Bujtas responded by shoving all in.

Patajs was agonizing over it and took over a minute before calling it off with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a set. Bujtas showed him the bad news with {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a flush. In frustration, Patajs splashed the remainder of his stack all across the table and quickly headed out of the tournament area.

Roger Teska
Roger Teska

Roger Teska opened to 15,000 on the button and Luiz Ferreira called in the small blind. Gary Hasson then three-bet to 49,000 and Teska four-bet to 150,000. Ferreira then five-bet all in. Hasson tank-folded and Teska called all-in for his last 290,500.

Roger Teska: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Luiz Ferreira: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and tablemate Julian Thomas murmured a quiet "Uh-oh."

The turn was the {6-Spades} but the river {10-Hearts} gave Teska a straight and he doubled up.
