Buchta Frustrates Romero

Kai Cocklin

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Simon Buchta made it 160,000 to go from early position and Enrico Romero three-bet the hijack to 325,000. Once it got back to Buchta, he made the call.

The flop came 8♥4♦7♥ where Buchta check-called a bet of 165,000 from Romero.

A 7♦ on the turn saw Buchta check-call again when Romero bet 325,000, and the 6♠ dropped on the river. Buchta checked, and Romero took a while before he checked back.

Buchta tabled A♦6♦ for a rivered pair of sixes, and Romero looked frustrated as he mucked.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Andrea Ricci raised to 160,000 in the hijack. William Trumm called on the button, as did Genc Shabani in the big blind.

The flop fell A♠2♦A♦. Shabani checked to Ricci, who placed a continuation-bet of 205,000. Both Trumm and Shabani called to the 2♠ turn, which was checked through.

The 3♠ river was checked by all three as well, after which Shabani tabled 5♦4♦ for a straight.

His hand was the winner as both Ricci and Trumm tossed their cards into the muck, seeing the pot being shipped to Shabani.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Christoph Cajochen raised to 375,000 from early position, and left just 5,000 behind. Zoltan Vrancsik called from the next seat, and everybody else folded.

On the 8♣10♥10♦ flop, Cajochen bet 5,000, and Vrancsik called.

Christoph Cajochen: 3♣3♦ All in
Zoltan Vrancsik: A♣A♥

Cajochen chuckled as he the same hand of Vrancsik, then wished everybody good luck as the runout of 2♣4♠ meant he was eliminated.

Pham Dominates Schuh

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Michal Schuh jammed all in on the button, covering both blinds. Hong Pham made the call in the small blind for 650,000 and the cards were tabled.

Hong Pham: A♦7♠ All in
Michal Schuh: K♦7♦

The Q♦6♠10♣ flop remained safe for Pham, but the 2♦ turn brought a sweat when Schuh made a flush draw.

The 7♥ river did not help him, however, as Pham's better kicker won her the pot and she doubled up.

Patrick Cole

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of 3♠K♣5♣ with William Trumm folding to a 1,600,000 all in wager from Vito Branciforte. Runcan had called a bet from Trumm of around 250,000.

"Do you have a flush draw? king-five maybe?" asked Runcan.

"I don't have a flush draw, do you?" replied Branciforte.

"No i don't" Runcan said.

He eventually found the call after a little longer in the tank. He had Branciforte covered.

Vito Branciforte: K♠J♣ All in
Paul Runcan: 9♠9♦

Runcan was in bad shape and he couldn't find a nine across the 10♣ turn and the 8♦ river.

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alain Hostettler limped in from the small blind and was put all-in by Lorenzo Arduini in the big blind. Hostettler quickly called off his stack of 600,000 and a showdown was had.

Alain Hostettler: A♣3♣ All in
Lorenzo Arduini: Q♣10♥

Hostettler was a small favorite to double up, but Arduini the better two pair on the 6♦5♦10♠6♠3♥ runout to eliminate his opponent in 23rd.

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 210,000 from under the gun and Simon Buchta called in the cutoff. Jan Krahulik also called from the big blind.

On the 8♠10♣10♠ flop, it checked to Tsouloftas, who fired 210,000. Buchta folded, and Krahulik called.

A Q♣ dropped on the turn and Krahulik went into check-call mode again after Tsouloftas bet 325,000.

When the K♦ landed on the river, Krahulik checked for a third time and snap-folded to a bet of 1,000,000 from Tsouloftas.

Kai Cocklin

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Pascal Pflock raised to 200,000 from early position and Daniel Frey shoved for 910,000 from middle position. Edwin Volzhan then shoved for 1,435,000, and Pflock called to put both players at risk.

Daniel Frey: Q♣Q♦ All in
Edwin Volzhan: A♣K♦ All in
Pascal Pflock: 10♠10♥

Pflock surged into the lead on the 10♣7♦J♥ flop and looked set to eliminate two players and earn himself a huge chip stack. However, the runout of 8♠9♥ put a straight on board, but gave Frey a higher straight. Fray tripled up and both Pflock and Volzhan chopped the side pot.
