Frank Visser

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

Stoyan Madanzhiev raised to 25,000 from under the gun and the action folded to David Boyaciyan in the big blind, who called.

The flop of 10♦A♣2♣ saw Boyaciyan check-call the 18,000 bet of Madanzhiev before the 6♥ turn fell.

Boyaciyan checked once more and this time Madanzhiev bet 35,000. Boyaciyan took a minute or so before laying his hand down, granting the pot to his opponent.

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

This table had just moved to the main tournament area after spending the first two levels on the feature stage.

On their first hand back, Jonathan Pastore raised to 25,000 under the gun, Daniel Rezaei three-bet to 65,000 in early position, and Pastore called.

The flop came 10♣Q♥2♥ and Rezaei continued for 40,000. Pastore called and they both checked the K♣ turn.

Pastore led out for 50,000 on the 9♥ river and Rezaei quickly called. Pastore then showed A♦J♦ for the nut straight as last year's runner-up took down the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Vladas Tamasauskas tanked after a raise to 20,000 by Armin Rezaei and Andrea Radicchi called the clock. Tamasauskas folded and Radicchi called. Rezaei check-folded the K♥8♦4♠ flop to a bet worth 18,000.

Tamasauskas then min-raised with 4,000 behind. Adi Rajkovic reraised to 36,000 and all opponents folded, the Lithuanian called all-in.

Vladas Tamasauskas: A♦7♦
Adi Rajkovic: K♣J♦

The 10♥6♥4♠9♥8♥ board and Tamasauskas tripled his micro stack.

One table over, Michele Pucci check-called all-in for 223,000 in the cutoff when Alf Martinsson overbet the Q♥J♠10♠ flop.

Pucci's K♣10♣ was up versus K♠6♠ and they chopped on the 3♦ turn and A♥ river runout.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Marius Gicovanu raised from the button and both blinds Kevin Roethlisberger and Petr Svoboda called. The 7♠6♠K♥ flop was checked to Gicovanu, who continuation-bet for 23,000. Roethlisberger folded quickly, but Svoboda made the call.

Svoboda then also check-called the 76,000 bet of Gicovanu on the Q♦ turn, before the subsequent 5♦ river was checked by both players.

Svoboda confidently tabled his K♣9♠ for top pair, but it was outdone by the Q♣7♣ of Gicovanu, who was sitting on two pair.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of J♥J♣Q♥5♠, Timothy Adams led out for 86,000 in the big blind and Darius Samual called on the button.

The river was the 7♦ and Adams slowed down and checked. Samual then bet enough to put Adams all in.

Adams, with around 250,000 remaining, glanced up at the tournament clock to find out how many players were still in before mucking.

At the same table, Eric Tsai and Max Neugebauer are both sitting on stacks of around 1,700,000.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bruno Desimoni raised to 20,000 from the button and Akin Tuna made it 65,000 to go from the small blind. Desimoni then jammed all in, covering the 260,000 total chips of Tuna.

Akin Tuna: A♣Q♦
Bruno Desimoni: 9♠9♦

Tuna shared some fistbumps with his neighbor Gab Yong Kim as the Q♠10♠5♦ flop was revealed, giving him top pair. Tuna would remain safe on the 2♦5♣ runout and he hooked a nice double-up just a few places before the money.
