Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Miguel Martinez Abad raised to 24,000 and David Boyaciyan then jammed for 174,000 from one seat over. Table chip leader Levan Rcheulishvili asked for a count and eyeballed the stack of Martinez Abad before moving all-in over the top out of the small blind.

"How much is it?" Martinez Abad joked before sending his cards into the muck.

David Boyaciyan: 10♦10♥
Levan Rcheulishvili: A♦Q♠

The pocket pair stayed ahead throughout the K♦J♥6♣9♣8♠ board and Boyaciyan doubled near the bubble.

"I had ace-jack," Martinez Abad mentioned in table chat.

Eusebiu Jalba was in the small blind and put Fabian Gumz all in. Gumz called for his last 225,000 in the cutoff.

Fabian Gumz: A♣A♦
Eusebiu Jalba: K♦J♥

Gumz had woken up with aces and held on through the 6♦6♣2♦7♥2♠ board to double up.

"Aces every time," Jalba said in frustration as he was left on an extreme short stack near the bubble.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Symeon Alexandridis flipped with J♠J♥ against ace-ten and made a straight on the 10♣9♠4♥Q♠K♦ runout to stay in contention.

Less fortunate were Timothy Adams, Adi Rajkovic and Athanasios Kidas as they all bowed out in quick succession.

Omar Eljach then had a portion of his stack in against previous nemesis Jacob Amsellem when he check-called a bet of 75,000 by the Frenchman on the 6♥4♠4♣6♦ turn. The 7♣ river was checked and Eljach tabled the J♥J♠, Amsellem mucked his 2♣2♦ with a big smile on the face.

The field is now down to just 126 players and the money bubble is right around the corner.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Keneshka Kabir and Tamas Adamszki had arrived on a flop of 2♠Q♦6♠. With 91,000 chips in the middle, Kabir checked from the small blind, and Adamszki bet 65,000 from the big blind.

Kabir made the call and the A♠ turn rolled off. Kabir then inquired about Adamszki's stack before leading for 275,000, the vast majority of Adamszki's stack.

Adamszki quickly mucked and Kabit showed the J♦ to indicate he could not have had a flush.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With around 140,000 in the pot on a board of 4♠7♦Q♥K♠, Daniel Rezaei bet 135,000 from the cutoff and Matas Cimbolas called on the button.

The river came the 2♥ and Rezaei moved all in. Cimbolas snap-called for his last 330,000 and turned over 7♥7♣ for a set. Rezaei, though, had K♣K♦ for top set to bust Cimbolas just short of the money.

Armin Rezaei was just moved to this table directly to the left of his brother.

"You can ask not to play with each other," Jonathan Pastore said.

"It's even more fun because we go super-hard against each other," Armin replied.

"I would bubble my own mother. There's no friends at the poker table," Daniel added.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress and Aliaksandr Shylko were staring at a board of 4♣A♣3♣J♦2♦ when Dvoress checked from the small blind and Shylko bet 40,000 from the big blind.

Dvoress then raised to 120,000 and Shylko went so deep into the tank that the clock was called on him. Before his countdown reached zero, he mucked his hand, sending the pot Dvoress' way.

Karol Radomski raised to 25,000 and Andrea Dato defended the big big blind. On the A♣3♣2♦ flop, Dato checked and Radomski continued for 30,000. Dato swiftly pushed all-in and Radomski reluctantly folded without asking for an exact count.

"Did you have a set?" Radomski asked and Dato replied "Yeah, three three ... I didn't have five six of clubs for sure".

Vladas Tamasauskas: A♣Q♦
Michele Tocci: A♦J♠

Tamasauskas found himself ahead going to the A♠10♦K♥ flop, which gave both players top pair.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After some preflop action, Pavel Binar had gotten all his chips from the button in against Dario Sammartino in the small blind. Once all tables had finished their hand, the showdown was ordered.

Pavel Binar: A♥A♣
Dario Sammartino: A♦K♣

The flop brought a little sweat when Sammartino paired his king; 7♠7♥K♠ emerged from the deck. However, the Q♣ turn and J♥ river did not bring another king on the felt, seeing Binar survive the bubble and double up.

Meanwhile, Kasparas Klezys had amassed a large stack of 1,800,000 chips on this table.
