Vinci Eliminated by Johansson

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante
Anton Johansson
Anton Johansson

Four way to the {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop, Anton Johansson bet 7,500 and Pasquale Vinci raised the pot, which forced out two opponents including Pim van Holsteyn. Johansson pushed all in and Vinci was at risk for around 22,000.

Pasquale Vinci: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Anton Johansson: {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

Johansson was in the lead with middle set while Vinci had some outs. The {10-Hearts} turn gave Vinci even more hope, but the {5-Hearts} river was a blank to eliminate the Italian.

Bojang Enters the Mix

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

Ilya Bulychev busted for a second time and re-entered while Fahredin Mustafov was eliminated. The cards were already rushed away as the pot was shipped over to Quan Zhou. In the first levels of the day, Zhou was left with half the starting stack and has since taken over the lead ahead of Pim van Holsteyn.

Ismael Bojang has also just entered the tournament and made his debut at the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe.

Lyubovetskiy Takes From Hougaard

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

Michal Schuh has taken over the lead in the fourth level while Maksim Shuts busted and re-entered. The seat that formerly belonged to Shutsa is now occupied by Andriy Lyubovetskiy, who proceeded to win a pot off Jesper Hougaard.

The river showed {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Lyubovetskiy bet 3,000, Hougaard raised to 11,500 and was snap-called.

Hougaard turned over the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Lyubovetskiy said "no good" before showing his {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for the second nut flush.

Ivan Leow
Ivan Leow

Ivan Leow ran his stack back up to more than 30,000 before another unfortunate setup saw him clash with Jeff Madsen. On the flop of {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} they got it in and Leow held {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for two pair. Madsen had him dominated with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} for top set and faded the back door straight with the {10-Clubs} turn and {6-Spades} river run out.

Leow Quickly Builds a Stack

Level 4 : 200/400, 0 ante

On the three-way turn of {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}, James Chen bet 3,700 and picked up one call. Ivan Leow was having none of it and raised the pot. Chen got out of the way, as did the cold-caller, and Leow claimed the pot without showdown. Since sitting down not long ago, Leow has quickly made profit in this tournament and has been involved in many hands as per usual.
