Heizmann Stacks Pop

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Catalin Pop
Catalin Pop

On a board of 65A10, there were around 60,000 in the pot when Catalin Pop bet 22,000 from under the gun. Stefan Heizmann then moved all in, which gave Pop a test for his remaining stack of around 130,000. Eventually, Pop did call.

Catalin Pop: AK All in
Stefan Heizmann: A5

Pop wasn't impressed to see that he was beat and no salvation came on the Q river, which mean the was out. On the other hand, Heizmann boosted his stack to nearly 600,000.

Tatar Gets a Cruel Tease Against Wicquart

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dinesh Alt raised to 6,000 in the cutoff before Jovica Tatar three-bet to 18,000 on the button. Nikolas Wicquart then moved all in from the small blind and Alt folded, but Tatar snap-called for 70,000.

Jovica Tatar: KK All in
Nikolas Wicquart: AA

Tatar flung his arms in the air in frustration after finding out he had run his kings into Wicquart's aces. The K fell on the flop, but it was followed by A6 as Wicquart remained ahead in a set-over-set cooler. Tatar couldn't find the one-outer on the 7 turn or 5 river and was sent to the rail.

"That was sick," Alt said, revealing he folded two nines.

"Always a Sweat" For Bendinelli in Big Pot Against Radicchi

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Giuliano Bendinelli
Giuliano Bendinelli

Vlad Darie raised to 6,000 under the gun and Giuliano Bendinelli three-bet to 15,000 in middle position. Andrea Radicchi then four-bet to 37,000 on the button and Darie folded, but Bendinelli then five-bet to 80,000. Radicchi spent a few minutes in the tank before moving all in for 230,000, and Bendinelli snap-called.

Andrea Radicchi: AK All in
Giuliano Bendinelli: KK

Bendinelli showed down two kings, while Radicchi was left looking for an ace in a massive pot. The 642 flop was no help, but Radicchi spiked the A on the turn to take the lead. The river, though, was the 10 and Bendinelli made a flush to win the pot and send Radicchi to the rail.

"Always a sweat," Bendinelli said.

Barzantny Gets All of Zarbo's Stack

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Giuseppe Zarbo
Giuseppe Zarbo

Giuseppe Zarbo had just retaken his seat after the dinner break ended, but was up on his feet pretty quickly as he fell to Wojciech Barzantny.

The action was missed, but the chips appeared to go in preflop, with Zarbo at risk for around 100,000.

Giuseppe Zarbo: AQ All in
Wojciech Barzantny: AK

Zarbo was in trouble, but found some help on the QJ9 flop as he made top pair. Nobody has a diamond, which meant there was a flush draw on board when the 3 hit the turn. Barzantny probably was hoping for a chop, but instead he took the lot as the 10 river gave him Broadway, ending Zarbo's Main Event.

Kabrhel Causes Instant Carnage

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Martin Kabrhel registered after dinner break and immediately caused havoc at his table.

In his first hand, Kabrhel opened to 9,000 from early position, and received calls from Nikolas Wicquart in the next seat and Marco Meisser in the big blind, Kabrhel goading them about not acting fast enough preflop.

On the KJ5 flop, action was checked to Kabrhel, who fired out a bet of 20,000, which only Wicquart called.

The 4 hit on the turn, and Kabrhel took quite a bit of time for thought before sliding out a double-barrel of 46,000. Wicquart had only been thinking it through for about 90 seconds, at least as long as Kabrhel took before betting, before Kabrhel called the clock.

The floor came over, and while they didn't immediately enforce the clock, Wicquart folded shortly after.

In the next hand, Kabrhel opened to 9,000 under the gun, and Dinesh Alt three-bet jammed from the big blind for around 65,000, receiving a snap-call from the Czech.

Dinesh Alt: A10 All in
Martin Kabrhel: QJ

Alt was ahead, but Kabrhel flopped the joint on K109, and Alt was up out of his chair, the 4 turn and Q river confirming his fate.

"Easy game," said Kabrhel, and on not getting much back from the table, continued, "Crazy jam this ace-ten, with no fold equity versus under the gun, very weak table."

You could feel the discomfort levels at the table rising considerably, and get the impression most of his table would rather be anywhere else on the planet right now.

Cheng Zhao opened to 8,000 from middle position, before Max Neugebauer three-bet jammed for 42,000 from the next seat. Adrian Cazacu cold-called in the cutoff, and Zhao got out of the way.

Max Neugebauer: JJ All in
Adrian Cazacu: AA

The 2023 WSOPE Main Event champ had run into rockets, and could not find an escape on the QQ586 runout.

Alexander Metz: AK All in
Rene Knapp: KK

Metz had run big slick into cowboys, and although he turned a gutshot, he bricked the 10103J4 runout.

Kesidis Wins a Battle of the Blinds; Tuerkmen Hits the Rail

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Gueven Tuerkmen completed from the small blind, and Ratmir Kesidis checked his option out of the big blind.

Tuerkmen knuckled the action over to Kesidis on the 456 flop and Kesidis bet 8,000. Tuerkmen quickly check-raised to 25,000, and Kesidis put in the call.

The 8 turn and 8 river checked through for Tuerkmen to show K5 for a pair of fives. Kesidis had that beat with 106 for a pair of sixes, and he was awarded the pot.

Tuerkmen was left with just a few big blinds and was eliminated a few hands later.

Oliver Boesch: AK

The superior kicker remained ahead all the way on the 1087Q8 board, and that spelled the end for Berman.
