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

In the first hand dealt on Table #120, Jakub Sterba raised to 24,000 from early position and Walter Van Camberg shoved 176,000 from the next seat. It folded back around to Sterba, who made a quick call.

Walter Van Camberg: A♥K♠ All in
Jakub Sterba: J♦J♣

Sterba kept his advantage after the 3♦8♣3♠ flop, but an A♦ on the turn propelled Van Camberg into the lead. Only a jack on the river would change the outcome of the hand, but instead the 7♦ rolled off, which earned Van Camberg an early double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jakub Sterba	450,000 176,000	176,000
Walter Van Camberg	380,000 204,000	204,000

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

Heads-up on a flop of 10♦4♦10♠, Narcis Nedelcu bet 25,000 from the cutoff before Oliver Meierhofer raised to 56,000 on the button. Nedelcu then moved all in for 140,000 and Meierhofer called.

Narcis Nedelcu: Q♦3♦ All in
Oliver Meierhofer: 6♦6♣

Meierhofer was ahead with two pair, while Nedelcu was on a flush draw. The J♣ turn was no help to Nedelcu, while the 4♥ river sealed the pot for Meierhofer and sent Nedelcu to an early exit on Day 2.

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

Vladislav Khmelnitskiy shoved from under the gun for a little under 100,000 and Luc Ramos made the call from middle position.

Vladislav Khmelnitskiy: A♠J♥ All in
Luc Ramos: A♣10♣

Khmelnitskiy had his opponent pipped, and he kept his lead throughout the hand as the board of 2♦K♦Q♦4♥6♥ meant his kicker played, which earned him the double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Luc Ramos	350,000 168,000	168,000

Grecu Goes From Third Best to a Triple Up

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

Daniele Grasso raised to 25,000 in early position and Cristi Grecu moved all in for 96,000 in the hijack. Grasso quickly called without noticing that big blind Anson Tsang had yet to act.

Tsang called the floor over and asked whether Grasso's call was binding if he also called. The floor ruled that Grasso would be allowed to take back his chips if Tsang called. Tsang then reshoved and Grasso called for 260,000.

Cristi Grecu: A♠J♦ All in
Daniele Grasso: A♥K♥ All in
Anson Tsang: Q♠Q♥

Tsang was ahead with his queens and poised for a double knockout as the flop came J♣8♥9♠. The A♣ turn improved Grecu to two pair and the lead, while Grasso overtook Tsang with top pair. The river was the 7♣ and Grecu doubled up, while Grasso took the side pot off Tsang.

Grasso apologized to Tsang after the hand. "No need to apologize. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it," a tablemate joked with him afterward.
