Na Soars With Rockets

Frank Visser

Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 320,000 in middle position. Dohang Na then pushed all in for 870,000 on the button. Tsouloftas asked for a count and then called.

Dohang Na: A♠A♦ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♥7♥

The 3♥Q♣6♥ flop brought a sweat as any heart would give Tsouloftas a flush. However, neither the 10♣ turn nor the 6♣ river brought one to the board, doubling up Na.

Georgios Tsouloftas	11,000,000 1,000,000	1,000,000

Dohang Na	2,100,000 1,610,000	1,610,000

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Paul Runcan is applying maximum pressure to the shorter stacks on his table and has shoved in each of the last three hands.

Runcan first shoved from the cutoff, then hijack, and finally middle position which he took down uncontested to boost his stack to almost eight million early on.

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Zoltan Vrancsik tossed in his stack of 730,000 from the hijack. The action folded to Georgios Tsouloftas in the big blind, who put in a call.

Zoltan Vrancsik: K♠K♦ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♦4♠

Vrancsik needed to fade an ace to double up, but the 6♥A♣A♠ flop brought Tsouloftas trips to take a gigantic lead.

Neither the 5♣ turn nor the Q♠ river brought a king for Vrancsik, and he resultingly was the first elimination of Day 3.

Georgios Tsouloftas	16,000,000 5,000,000	5,000,000

Zoltan Vrancsik	Busted

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Paul Runcan, the chipleader of the table, jammed all in from under the gun, prompting the entire table to fold. On the next deal, Runcan got a walk in the big blind.

The next hand, it was folded to Runcan again, and he open-shoved his small blind. Genc Shabani spent several time bank extensions before putting in a call for his stack of 1,475,000.

Genc Shabani: K♦Q♦ All in
Paul Runcan: 9♣5♣

Runcan flopped some extra outs on 8♣8♥6♠, but the K♠ turn made Shabani top pair to take away Runcan's pair opportunites.

The table was audibly rooting for a seven on the river, but the A♥ came instead. Runcan missed his straight draw and Shabani doubled up to 15 big blinds.

Player	Chips	Progress
Paul Runcan	7,135,000 565,000	565,000

Genc Shabani	3,150,000 1,075,000	1,075,000

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Dohang Na: J♥J♦ All in
Hong Pham: A♦10♦

It just wasn't Na's day as Pham flopped an ace and held up after the runout of 7♦A♠7♠2♥3♠.

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Hong Pham opened to 425,000 from under the gun and Pascal Pflock called on the button.

They saw a flop of 5♠7♦K♦ where Pham checked, Pflock bet 300,000, and Pham called.

A 10♦ dropped on the turn which Pham checked again, and Pflock fired 600,000. Pham shoved, and Pflock called off his remaining 1,200,000 he had behind.

Pascal Pflock: A♥A♦ All in
Hong Pham: K♠K♣

A sick cooler but Pflock still had outs to an ace or a diamond. Pham's stack was on the verge of being near ten million but an A♣ on the river gave Pflcok a bigger set, which kept him alive.

Player	Chips	Progress
Pascal Pflock	5,600,000 625,000	625,000
Hong Pham	3,200,000 2,600,000	2,600,000

Level 34 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Michal Schuh raised to 500,000 in the hijack. Simon Buchta called in the small blind and then put in the rest of his 1,100,000 chips on the 2♦K♣10♠ flop.

Simon Buchta: A♦J♠ All in
Michal Schuh: A♠K♦

Buchta needed to hit his gutshot to stay in the tournament, but no queen arrived on the 4♣5♠ runout to eliminate him in 14th place.
