Madani Descends to Zero

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Janne Nevalainen sat under the gun and raised to 1,600. Said Madani decided to call in the seat next to him, while Fahredin Mustafov came along in the small blind.

Heading to a flop of Q♣2♦A♠, Mustafov checked to Nevalainen, who bet 2,300. Madani called and Mustafov let go of 10♣7♣.

The 8♠ fell on the turn. Nevalainen bet 5,500, Madani shoved all in for 19,000, and Nevalainen snap called.

Said Madani: Q♠5♠ All in
Janne Nevalainen: A♦Q♥

Madani needed to hit a spade to stay in the tournament but the Q♦ river made Nevalainen a full house instead. Madani quickly picked up his backpack and headed off the feature stage.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Fahredin Mustafov raised to 2,000 in the hijack. Markus Zimmerer called in the cutoff, as did Ran Shahar in the small blind. Paul Runcan then three-bet to 10,000 in the big blind, bringing only Mustafov along to the flop of 9♣10♣J♦.

Runcan checked and Mustafov checked back. The same happened on the 6♦ turn before Runcan bet 3,000 on the 2♣ river.

Mustafov tossed in a quick call but saw his 8♠8♥ lose to Runcan's Q♠Q♣ and mucked his cards.

After Asipauskas checked the A♦Q♠4♣ flop, Sammartino bet 2,500. Jungevicius folded, but Asipauskas flicked in the call.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Janne Nevalainen raised to 1,600 in the cutoff with K♥J♠. Ran Shahar called on the button holding 6♦4♦, and Paul Runcan followed suit in the small blind with J♥8♥

The flop was dealt 8♠5♠J♣. Runcan checked to Nevalainen, who continued for 2,500. Shahar let go of his cards before Runcan called. Both checked the 8♣ turn, after which the 9♣ river emerged from the deck.

Runcan checked again, prompting Nevalainen to bet 6,000. Runcan made a small raise to 13,800 with his full house, seeing Nevalainen quickly fold his naked top pair.

Kai Cocklin

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There were around 6,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 9♥2♣2♦ when both Negjdet Avdylaj and Stoyan Madanzhiev checked, then Said Madani fired 2,500, which Avdylaj called. Madanzhiev then made it 11,000, which Madani called, then Avdylaj put in another raise to 26,600. Madanzhiev got out of the way, and Madani called.

Carrying on from the crazy flop action, the turn brought a 7♥ and Avdylaj shoved for 64,100. Madani took some time to think it over but ultimately ended up calling.

Negjdet Avdylaj: K♦2♠ All in
Said Madani: 3♥2♥

Both players had flopped trips but the kicker of Avdylaj was far superior, which meant Madani was drawing slim. No help arrived on the 5♦ river, which meant Avdylaj's stack shot up to around 200,000, and Madani was left super short-stacked.

Mustafov Finds Thin Value

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ran Shahar raised to 1,800 in the hijack and Paul Runcan called in the cutoff. Fahredin Mustafov defended his big blind, after which the 4♥6♥2♥ flop and K♥ turn were checked by the trio.

The 6♣ river saw Mustafov lead out for 1,500. Shahar thought some time before flicking in a call and Runcan folded A♣Q♠.

Mustafov turned over 6♦5♣ for trips, besting Shahar's 10♦10♣ and taking down the pot without a heart.
