Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Another three players were eliminated including Andrea Dato, Sascha Minerva, as well as Maksim Vaskresenski. The latter was flipped out by Frederik Thiemer when 7♦7♠ could not hold up against A♥K♥ on a board of K♣4♦4♠Q♦10♣.

Jorge Ufano also ended up at risk but had the best of it with A♣A♥, as Joao Tomas only revealed the 10♥10♦ in one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.

There was no upset on the J♦6♦3♥6♥2♠ runout for Ufano to double.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There were 230,000 in the middle on the completed board of 10♦6♠4♦Q♠5♥, and Jakub Koleckar moved all in for 252,000 from the big blind.

Hodaj went deep into the tank. If he made the wrong call he would have been severely short-stacked. In the end the overnight chip leader folded.

Whilst the Italian was deep into the tank Dragoljub Martinovic was all in against Renji Mao. Mao's pocket queens held against Martinovic's pocket tens and the Serbian headed to the exit.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dennis Wilke raised to 20,000 and Michael Gehrmann three-bet to 95,000 in the big blind with about as much behind. That brought the four-bet of Wilke for more than 250,000 and Gehrmann instantly tossed his cards face-up to the middle.

"That's a fold?" Wilke grinned as he was shown the A♠Q♦. Gehrmann had, however, called all-in and was ahead versus Wilke's A♥J♥.

The 9♣8♦3♥10♦7♣ board delivered a jack-high straight and Gehrmann snapped a picture of the bad beat with his smart phone before leaving.

Toni Ravnak three-bet jammed with the A♣10♦ only to get snapped off by Ramo Balic with the A♦A♥. There was no upset on the J♠6♥4♠6♣4♥ board and Ravnak was sent to the payout desk.

Several other contestants followed including Ruslan Volkov, who saw his ace-king outflopped by the K♠8♦ of Renji Mao in the big blind.

On a completed board of Q♣10♥7♥5♠K♦, Joao Tomas pushed all-in and Dan Maricuta eventually called it off.

Tomas revealed his J♦9♦ for the second nuts and Maricuta mucked his cards. According to the all-in showdown rule, the K♥5♥ of the Romanian were exposed before he headed to the payout desk.

Rollercoaster Two Hands for Wilke

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a blind on blind confrontation, Robert Burlacu bet 70,000 from the small blind leaving only 4,000 behind. Dennis Wilke in the big blind made the call.

A monotone flop of 9♣7♣2♣ saw Wilke bet 4,000 to put Burlacu at risk. Burlacu waited out as long as he could to try to ladder a pay jump before he was forced to call.

Robert Burlacu: Q♦2♦
Dennis Wilke: J♠J♥

Wilke dominated and after the 5♦ turn Burcalu only had three outs. He tossed his queen next to the river slot and the dealer duly obliged by tabling the Q♥ to complete the board and gave Barcalu top pair. Wilke jokingly shouted "How dare you!" at the dealer for dishing out a bad beat.

The very next hand Wilke was in another blind on blind all in situation with Aaron Duczack in the big blind. The Canadian was art risk for 160,000.

Aaron Duczak: A♠J♣
Dennis Wilke: K♣10♠

Duczak was ahead preflop but a king on the flop on the completed board of K♠Q♠3♦8♠5♣ spelt curtains for the Canadian who headed to the paycage.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Albert Gorelik was not amused at all when he had to pay off a large double to Deividas Butnoras for 340,000 post flop. Butnoras had flopped two pair with the 6♠2♠ against the A♥A♦ of Gorelik on the [6c42c] flop and then held throughout the 8♠ turn as well as the 10♦ river.

Yet another table broke as the field plummeted below 48 hopefuls and among those to bust were also Alberto Cigliano and Vladimir Troyanovskiy, the latter of which walked to the payout desk with his head shaking in disbelief.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Gehrmann jammed into Fabio Peluso and the Italian called it off, having previously seen his stack decimated to fewer than ten big blinds.

Fabio Peluso: J♥10♣
Michael Gehrmann: A♥2♦

The K♦7♦3♠9♥K♥ board missed both players and ace-high was good to eliminate Peluso.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds with the completed board showing A♣A♠10♠10♦6♦, Daniel Koloszar bet 126,000 for what appeared to be slightly more than the size of the pot.

Jacopo Achille needed some 90 seconds to make up his mind and then called, but couldn't beat the A♥9♦ of Koloszar.
