Four Seat Open So Far

Level 2 : 200/400, 400 ante

Cedric Dorveaux was the first player to bust on Day 1a and since, another three players were eliminated. The latest casualty just before the end of the second level was Giuseppe Fichera. He held ace-king, as confirmed by Saar Wilf on the same table, and Tomas Hajek raked in the pot with {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for a full house on the board {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Duczak Takes from Baumgartner

Level 3 : 300/500, 500 ante

In a three-way pot, the flop was {q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Roman Nakonechnyi checked from the big blind. Aaron Duczak bet 2,100 and only Jacob Baumgartner called in the cutoff.

On the {2-Spades} turn Baumgartner called another bet from Duczak for 3,800 and the river {7-Hearts} went check-check. Duczak tabled {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Baumgartner mucked his cards.

Level 3 : 300/500, 500 ante
Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy
Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy

The board already showed {9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} with a pot containing around 20,000 when Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy bet 13,500 and faced a raised worth 41,000 from Norbert Mosonyi situated in the cutoff. Merzhvinskiy tanked a minute and announced all in for 97,500. Mosonyi asked for the exact count and chose to call.

Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy: {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Norbert Mosonyi: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Merzhvinskiy had the middle pair and a flush draw but didn't hit on the {j-Clubs} river and Mosonyi took down the big pot with a pair of aces while Merzhvinskii made his way to the exit.

Defending Champion Sinclair Arrives

Level 3 : 300/500, 500 ante

Jack Sinclair has taken a seat and witnessed Michael Sklenicka in action against Moshe Ben David. The {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} board prompted a bet of 2,000 by Sklenicka and Ben David called, but his {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} ended second best to the {j-Spades}{9-Spades} of Sklenicka.

One hand later, Orpen Kisacikoglu opened and Sinclair called, as did Ben David. The {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop was checked through and Ben Moshe bet the {3-Spades} turn for 2,500, only Sinclair called. After the {5-Hearts} river, both checked and Sinclair's {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} were good enough to win the pot.
