Kurfner Doubles Through Candelari

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Patrick Kurfner
Patrick Kurfner

Picking up the action on the {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs} turn, Patrick Kurfner bet 26,500 in the big blind and Francesco Candelari called in the cutoff after glancing at the stack of his opponent.

Kurfner then shoved the {a-Clubs} river for his last 51,000 and Candelari started some table chat, talked through possible hands. He initially put his opponent on pocket fives and almost ruled out the seven-five, the clock was then called on him and the Italian called within the 30 seconds.

Kurfner tabled {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for the straight and Candelari mucked {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

The table broke right after and Kurfner mentioned "I only called because I was in the big blind."

Drozd Eliminated by Twito

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Adam Twito called a raise to 6,000 and behind him, Ondrej Drozd moved all in for 55,500 total. The initial raiser folded and Twito tossed in a single chip for the call.

Ondrej Drozd: {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Adam Twito: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The {j-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop provided no help yet for Drozd but he picked up a ton of outs on the {a-Hearts} turn. A blank {5-Clubs} would follow on the river to spell the end for Drozd.

Novotny Chips Up; Di Troia Doubles and Busts After

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

David Novotny raised to 6,000 and Majid Ejlal Noubarian three-bet the button to 15,500, which Novotny called after carefully counting his remaining stack. Novotny check-called a bet worth 11,000 on the {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and the {3-Diamonds} turn and {j-Hearts} river were checked.

Novotny tabled the {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for top pair and Noubarian exposed {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} to his table neighbor, as a result it was shown to all players.

One table over, Vittoria Di Troia doubled for 24,500 with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} against the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} of Vladimir Schwarz thanks to a board of {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} but his seat was open shortly after.
