Another Three Casualties

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

The penultimate level kicked off with more action and three players were elimination in quick succession.

Jeff Madsen ended up all in and at risk with the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and David Boyaciyan called with the {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}. The board came {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Boyaciyan dealt the final blow with a flush.

Next to fall was Jochen Kaiser, who got into a raising war preflop against Oleg Pavlyuchuk. They got it in after the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop and Kaiser turned over the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Pavlyuchuk had plenty of outs with the {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} and got there with the {6-Spades} turn and {Q-Hearts} river run out.

Next to fall was Apostolos Chatzopoulos and that reduced the field to the last 33 hopefuls.

Figuccia Busts to Pavlyuchuk

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

On a three-way flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}, Oleg Pavlyuchuk bet the pot out of the big blind and Marco Figuccia moved all in for 63,500. That forced out Jochen Kaiser on the button and Pavlyuchuk quickly called.

Marco Figuccia: {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Oleg Pavlyuchuk: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

The wrap of the Italian got there on the {9-Diamonds} turn, but the cruel {10-Spades} river improved Pavlyuchuk to a full house.

Painful Exit for Cohen

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Yehuda Cohen
Yehuda Cohen

After defending his big blind against Juergen Heidl, Yehuda Cohen clashed with Heidl on the {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop and invested a big portion of his stack, 81,500 to be excact, to put Heidl at risk.

Juergen Heidl: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Yehuda Cohen: {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

The {Q-Diamonds} turn was as painful as it could get for Cohen, as he was left with just one out all of a sudden. It was not meant to be on the {10-Hearts} river, as Heidl's full house remained best. Cohen was left with very few chips and busted right after.

Rezaei Sends Zaskodny To the Rail

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Three players were eliminated shortly after coming back from the break in Antti Marttinen, Thomas Pohnke and Lukas Zaskodny. The latter had won a Pot-Limit Omaha bracelet at the 2017 World Series of Poker here in Rozvadov and clashed with Daniel Rezaei.

Lukas Zaskodny: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Daniel Rezaei: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Rezaei trips, and the {Q-Hearts} turn and {9-Hearts} river changed nothing whatsoever anymore.

Final Break With 42 Remaining

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Almost one dozen players were eliminated since the money bubble burst and the remaining 42 hopefuls headed into their final 15-minute break, in which the T-500 chips will be raced off.

Pescatori on Half a Million

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Mac Pescatori
Mac Pescatori

Max Pescatori busted just shy of the money on Day 1a, however, the Italian has now jumped up to half a million in chips thanks to winning a massive pot off Sebastian Kos.

Andreas Walnum had already been all in while Kos and Pescatori played for a massive side pot. Kos bet the pot on the {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} river and Pescatori reluctantly called.

Kos tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Pescatori had that beat with {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for the second nut flush. Walnum was eliminated with the {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} and the dealer also already announced the seat open of Kos.

"He can only bet the pot, I didn't raise, I just called," Pescatori said and indeed Kos had a few chips behind. Those would vanish in the very next hand. Roman Cieslik, Andrej Isjurow and Jessica Teusl were also among the first bustouts in the money.

Aleksandar Denishev Bubbles Day 1b

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Aleksandar Denishev
Aleksandar Denishev

Aleksandar Denishev was eliminated by Max Pescatori despite Andreas Walnum at the very same table just sporting 600 remaining chips and that let the bubble burst. Denishev defended his big blind and turned top two pair when the chips went in only for Pescatori to snap-call with a flopped set of sixes.

At the same time on a different table, Hanh Tran and Viliyan Petleshkov clashed in a four-bet pot that created 233,000 in the middle with the flop showing {Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Petleshkov continued for 65,000 from under the gun and Tran folded from the cutoff.
