Bokowski Adds On After Getting Rivered

Level 6 : 0/0, 600 ante
Nicolas Bokowski
Nicolas Bokowski

"I have outs," said Ivan Bryksin, tabling {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} after calling the shove of Nicolas Bokowski with {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} on a {6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop.

"I'm going to stand up," said Bokowski, perhaps fearing the worst.

The turn {10-Hearts} bricked but the river {q-Clubs} gave Bryksin a straight, and forced Bokowksi to doubled.

Magro Doubles Up; Beckers Gone

Level 6 : 0/0, 600 ante

Dennis Magro was all in for around 50,000 with {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} against the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} of Gianluca Marcucci.

The board was {7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Magro doubled up.

On the next hand, Ken Beckers was all in with {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} for around 40,000 against the {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} of Marcucci.

Marcucci flopped trip kings on {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs} and although the {8-Diamonds} gave Beckers a straight draw, the river {6-Spades} was a brick.

Pignataro Eliminated; Stroke Adds On

Level 5 : 0/0, 500 ante

Luigi Pignataro was all in for around 15,000 with {a-Spades}{j-Spades} but was in bad shape against the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of Felix Schulze.

The board was {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Pignataro was eliminated.

Meanwhile, Philipp Schwab had raised to 8,500 from under the gun and Shawn Stroke had three-bet all in. Schwab called.

Shawn Stroke: {10-Spades}{7-Spades}
Philipp Schwab: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

There was no help for Stroke on the {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} board and he was forced to add on.

"That mistake helped you," said Stroke, and Schwab nodded, saying he had meant to put out 3,500.

Bise Flops a Straight Flush

Level 5 : 0/0, 500 ante

Julien Sitbon had raised all in for 27,300 and Felix Schulze had re-raised all in over the top.

Emil Bise thought about it before calling all in for 97,700, with Schulze covering both opponents.

Julien Sitbon: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Emil Bise: {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Felix Schulze: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs} giving Bise a straight flush, with the turn and river coming {8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

"King-nine," said Schulze. "Winning hand!" He was referring to the fact that he won the 2021 WSOP Europe Mini Main Event with the same hand, albeit in spades.
