De Wever Knocks Out Lovric

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There were two seat open in quick succession over on table 127 and those included Aibek Lekerov as well as Filip Lovric. The latter had lost most of his chips not long ago and then put his hopes on the A♦K♥6♣4♥.

Raf We Wever looked him up with the K♠K♣7♣6♦ and stayed ahead all the way on the K♦8♣2♣5♠A♠ runout.

All of a sudden, the field is down to the last 34 players of which 31 will reach the money.

Tsang Loses His Crown

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Anson Tsang and Tobias Peters were heads-up on a board of 7♣6♣J♠5♥ and around 30,000 in the pot as Tsang, in the small blind, tanked for a minute before betting 30,000.

Tsang left only one orange 1,000 chip behind and Peters instantly moved all in. Tsang tossed in his last chip and showed A♠Q♠J♥7♠ for two pair, but Peters had A♥K♥4♦3♦ for a straight.

The river came the 8♣ and Tsang, the two-time and defending champion of this event, was sent to the rail short of the money as Peters raked in more chips to add to his stack, which he has painstakingly organized in a symmetrical pattern.

Eljach Fills Up in Three-Way All In

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of K♣10♥8♠, Matthias Wieser potted to 62,000 in middle position and Filip Lovric called on the button. Omar Eljach then moved all in for 115,000 in the big blind, Wieser tossed in his last 30,000, and Lovric called to put both players at risk.

Matthias Wieser: A♠A♣K♦5♦
Omar Eljach: K♥10♣9♥7♥
Filip Lovric: A♠Q♦J♦5♥

Eljach had top two pair to take the lead against Wieser's pair of aces, while Lovric was on a straight draw. The 10♠ turn left Lovric drawing dead as Eljach improved to a full house, while the 4♣ river sent Wieser off to the rail.

Cho Cracks Cocea's Aces

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Marian Cocea got his short stack in with the A♠A♣K♠10♥ and was in great shape against the isolation by Wooram Cho, who held the K♣K♥8♦3♥.

However, the case king came on the K♦J♣5♣7♦4♥ runout and that spelled the end for Cocea.

Wieser Gets a Shove Through

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Goran Urumovic and Simon Taberham were eliminated in quick succession and the next shorter stack to make a move was Matthias Wieser. Omar Eljach limped in and then called a pot-sized raise to 24,000 by Wieser in the blinds. On the J♥6♥6♠ flop, Wieser jammed for the last 32,000 and Eljach grinned before folding.

"This time, I had the jack and flush draw," Wieser mentioned in the table chat.

Zech Pulls Ahead on the Flop to Bust Liu

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Wing Po Liu was down to around 40,000 and moved all in from the cutoff. Quirin Zech in the big blind called to put him at risk.

Wing Po Liu: K♥J♣10♥10♣
Quirin Zech: A♦Q♥J♦9♦

The flop came Q♣7♠6♥ and Zech took the lead with a pair of queens. The board ran out 8♦J♠ and Liu was left with just a pair of jacks on the river as he headed off to the exit.

Carmi Eliminated by Izotov

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Picking up the action on the 8♦6♥5♦A♠ turn, Eran Carmi bet 20,000 out of the big blind. Pavel Izotov on the button gave him a stare down for half a minute and raised to 59,000. Carmi wasted little time before moving all-in for around 140,000 and Izotov snap-called.

Eran Carmi: K♥8♠7♥4♦
Pavel Izotov: A♦9♦7♦5♣

Carmi was in rough shape with the eight-high straight and needed one of three nines in the deck to stay in contention. It was not meant to be when the J♥ fell on the river and the field was reduced to the last 42 players.

Defending Champion Tsang Doubles Through Boatman

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The K♠K♣10x9x of Barny Boatman were in the muck already and he paid off a double for Anson Tsang.

On a board of A♠5♦3♠J♣6♣, the A♥K♦9♦5♥ of Tsang had made two pair to get there.

Markus Anheier was not as fortunate and lost his all-in showdown as 43 players remain.

Player	Chips	Progress
Barny Boatman	120,000 -37,000	-37,000

Anson Tsang	100,000 33,000	33,000

Vega Meister Cannot Bluff Jaros

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alfredo Vega Meister raised and earned two callers in Farid Jattin as well as Patrik Jaros. On the A♣6♣3♣ flop, Jattin and Jaros checked and Vega Meister bet 15,000 to earn a call from Jaros only.

The same action repeated on the 10♠ turn for 42,000 and Jaros also checked the 9♥ river. Vega Meister then pushed all-in and Jaros went into a brief tank before he called.

Vega Meister flashed a KxQ♥J♥9x for a bluff gone wrong and Jaros took it down with the 7♣6♠5♠4♣ for a flush. Both stacks were counted and the 89,000 of Jaros covered.

Kim Smacks the Turn on Grubinger

David Salituro

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim bet 16,000 on a flop of 9♣4♦5♠ before Marcel Grubinger raised to 80,000 on the button. Kim, in the cutoff, then moved all in and Grubinger called off his last 20,000.

Marcel Grubinger: 9♥9♠6♥5♦
Gab Yong Kim: 10♠10♥6♠3♥

Grubinger had flopped top set and needed to hold on against Kim's straight draw. The turn didn't complete Kim's straight, but it did come 10♣ as Kim spiked a higher set.

"That's the worst one," a tablemate said, and Grubinger couldn't find any miracles on the 8♦ river before heading off to the rail.
