Jungevicius Performs Unbelievable Escape Act to Finish Fiala

Richard Hayes

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

A pot of at least 100,000 was in the middle, on a flop of 7♣2♦2♠, in a hand between Simon Fiala in middle position, Aleksandr Zubov in the cutoff, and Kestutis Jungevicius on the button.

Fiala checked, and Zubov fired out a bet of 25,000. Jungevicius raised to 55,000, before Fiala check-jammed to 102,000.

Zubov got out of the way, but Jungevicius called.

Simon Fiala: 7♥7♦ All in
Kestutis Jungevicius: J♥J♠

Fiala had flopped the full house, and Jungevicius was down to two outs.

Unbelievably, it was instant service as the J♣ hit on the turn to put Jungevicius ahead, and there was no miracle one-outer on the K♥ river. A brutal beat for Fiala.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alexander Fischl got his last 10,000 or so chips into the middle preflop with Emilien Pitavy trying to bust him.

Alexander Fischl: J♣J♠ All in
Emilien Pitavy: A♣7♦

Fischl needed his pocket jacks to hold to begin his spin-up in the Main Event. However, it wasn't to be as the 5♣A♥4♥Q♠7♥ runout improved Pitavy to two pair, sending Fischl to the exit.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jan Dijkstra raised to 11,000 in middle position and Pascal Pflock called in the hijack. Lambertus De Haas then three-bet to 135,000 in the cutoff, a bet representing most of his stack, and Dijkstra folded. Pflock, though, moved all in and De Haas committed the rest of his chips.

Lambertus De Haas: A♠K♥ All in
Pascal Pflock: A♣Q♣

De Haas had Pflock dominated as the flop came 2♣10♦8♠. The 7♣ turn gave Pflock outs with a flush draw, while the K♣ river gave De Haas top pair but also improved Pflock to a flush to send De Haas to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Viet Vo was spotted on his way out of the tournament area, and he was soon followed to the rail by Mikolaj Zawadzki. Responsible for both eliminations was Jan-Willem Nijmeijer, who both times had picked up pocket queens.

In the second hand, Nijmeijer three-bet and then looked up Zawadzki in a classic race.

Mikolaj Zawadzki: A♦K♣ All in
Jan-Willem Nijmeijer: Q♥Q♦

The pocket pair remained ahead all the way on the J♥8♠3♠3♣J♠ board.

Banic Flushes Out Yilmaz

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a preflop all-in, Ertan Yilmaz had the best of it with J♦J♥ against the 10♦10♣ of Ivan Banic. The K♣J♣4♣ flop gave Yilmaz a set of jacks but Banic increased his outs with the club flush draw. Nothing changed on the 3♦ turn but the 2♣ river sealed his fate in cruel fashion.
