Missed Opportunities and a Bust Out

Sava Krink

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Perica Maric started the action with a raise to 2,200, only to face an all-in from Vladas Tamasauskas for 7,600 right next to him. Daniel Sulz then entered the fray by calling the all-in, which brought the action back to Maric. In a bold move, he four-bet to 23,200. However, Sulz responded by shoving all-in for over 150,000, leaving Maric to contemplate his next move. After a moment of hesitation, Maric reluctantly folded his pocket queens, clearly frustrated by how things unfolded.

Vladas Tamasauskas: 9♠9♣
Daniel Sulz: K♠K♥

The board came down A♣10♦2♣J♦K♣, giving Sulz a winning pair and sending Tamasauskas to the rail.

Maric, on the other hand, was left feeling frustrated about the chance he let slip away.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Alf Martinsson raised to 1,800 under the gun before Stoyan Madanzhiev three-bet to 5,500 in early position. Dmytro Stetsiura then four-bet to 11,500. Martinsson got out of the way, but Madanzhiev moved all in for around 70,000 and Stetsiura snap-called.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: K♦K♣ All in
Dmytro Stetsiura: A♦A♣

Madanzhiev had run his kings right into Stetsiura's aces and the 2020 Online Main Event champion received no help on the Q♣J♣J♠Q♠8♥ as he was sent to the rail.

"Felt like it," Madanzhiev said.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After bluffing of a lot of his stack moments ago, Ermanno Di Nicola has hit the rail with Martin Vaclavik collecting the last of his stack.

The board read 2♦A♠J♠10♦3♥ and Di Nicola's K♦J♦ was no good against the J♥10♥ of Vaclavik, who had two pair.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Albert Coppens was all-in for his remaining stack of around 8,000 and Omar Eljach had put him at risk.

Albert Coppens: A♦9♦ All in
Omar Eljach: A♠K♣

Coppens needed some help but the flop of 3♣5♦J♥ was pretty dry for him. However, the 10♦ on the turn did give Coppens a flush draw to go along with his pair outs, but the 6♠ was a brick, which meant he was eliminated.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With around 35,000 chips in the pot on a board of 10♠J♠5♦5♠, Denis Lehmann had fired 10,000, Dinesh Alt folded, and Vladimer Gigolashvili called.

A 6♣ dropped on the river and Lehmann put out another bet of 25,000, which sent Gigolashvili into the tank. Gigolashvili was thinking for so long that Lehmann called the clock, and as soon as he did, Gigolashvili shoved. Lehmann had around 50,000 remaining in his stack and snap-called.

Gigolashvili flipped J♥J♦ for a full house, and Lehmann revealed A♠Q♠ for the nut flush, then made his way to the exit.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Valerio Marino opened to 1,000 from middle position and David Dongwoo Ko defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the 8♦9♣7♠ flop leading to the 2♠ turn. Ko bet 2,500 and was called by Marino.

Ko sized down with an 800 bet on the 10♠ river. Marino moved all in, covering Ko who had 31,500 behind. Ko nearly beat him into the pot.

Marino had top pair with Q♦10♣ while Ko had a jack-high straight with J♦9♠ to score a full double up through Marino.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Jakob Miegel bet 12,500 from early position on a flop of J♥8♥2♠ and Floris van Bodegraven moved all in for 24,000 in the hijack. Paco Kaplan called under the gun, while Miegel also called.

The turn was the 8♦ and Miegel bet 19,000. Kaplan called to create a side pot and they both checked the 4♣ river. Miegel showed A♠A♣, Kaplan had A♦A♥, and van Bodegraven was already walking to the exit with his Q♥5♥ in the muck as Miegel and Kaplan split the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The full action was missed but Theodoor Woolschot was seen standing up from his table and walking away, with the rest of his chips heading over to the stack of Timo Kamphues.

Woolschot had A♠A♦ and was up against the K♥K♦ of Kamphues, but a king on the board meant disaster for the Dutchman, who was eliminated.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Arturo Paduano had a raise of 4,500 in front of him from the cutoff before David Dongwoo Ko reraised to 15,000 in the small blind. Paduano then moved all in for 45,000 and Ko snap-called.

Arturo Paduano: A♥J♣ All in
David Dongwoo Ko: Q♣Q♦

Paduano hit a pair on the K♥8♣7♦J♥ board, but he improved no further on the 5♣ river as Ko's queens earned him to the pot and sent Paduano to the rail. Paduano quickly went to the registration cage and sat back down with a fresh starting stack.

David Dongwoo Ko	150,000
