Queens Hold for Koleckar

Richard Hayes

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Peter Cieslik opened under the gun to 16,000, and was met with a three-bet jam to 130,000 from Jakub Koleckar from middle position.

Dan Sfarlea was on the button, and he moved his 75,000 stack into the middle. Cieslik took a bit of time to think, but made the call, to create a three-way all-in scenario.

Dan Sfarlea: 10♦10♠ All in
Jakub Koleckar: Q♠Q♣ All in
Peter Cieslik: J♣J♥

It was a tale of three pairs, and Koleckar had the best of it. His queens held across the A♥6♥2♦9♣K♣ runout, busting Sfarlea, and damaging Cieslik.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Borgki Biba opened the button and then was faced with a three-bet to 48,000 from Marco Di Persio in the big blind. Biba responded with a shove for 175,000, and after contemplating for around 45 seconds, Di Persio called.

Borgki Biba: 7♠7♣ All in
Marco Di Persio: A♦J♥

Both players found themselves in a flip, but this one was especially crucial for Biba as he was the at-risk player. Things weren't promising for Biba, though, as the flop of 4♣A♣6♥ put Di Persio in control with a pair of aces. No help was in sight on the 2♣5♠ runout, and Biba headed to the exit.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Three players saw a flop of Q♣J♣10♦ when Zdenek Zizka moved all in for 135,000 in the hijack. Jan Krnac then reshoved for 260,000 in the small blind as action went on Grzegorz Flak in the big blind. Flak tanked for several minutes, all the while as Krnac laughed it up with Martin Kabrhel sitting at an adjacent table.

"Gamble, gamble," Kabrhel said to him.

Flak eventually folded, later saying he had 9♣7♣.

Zdenek Zizka: J♦10♠ All in
Jan Krnac: Q♠J♠

Both players had flopped two pair, but Krnac was ahead with his queens and jacks. The board ran out 8♠K♠ and Zizka was sent to the rail.

Mustafov Eliminated by Cohen

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Yosefi Cohen reluctantly called the three-bet shove by a shorter stacked Fahredin Mustafov and needed some catching up, as his K♥Q♥ was well behind versus A♦K♦.

The 8♥6♥5♥ flop left Mustafov on very thin ice and it was all over on the 9♣ turn to make the 10♣ river a formality.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Dennis Jung was all-in for around 170,000 and at risk against Serkan Kuru, in a cutoff versus button spot.

Dennis Jung: A♥Q♥ All in
Serkan Kuru: K♣K♦

Kuru had woken up with a monster, and there was no escape for Jung on the J♥J♠10♦8♣5♦ runout.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniele Sacchi just got a little richer after he sent Vagke Sagkinian on his way.

The chips seemed to get in on the turn with the board reading A♦8♦7♣3♣. Sagkinian held A♠4♠ for a pair of aces, but he was out-kicked as Sacchi held A♣Q♣ for a bigger ace.

Nothing changed on the 8♥ river, and Sagkinian was out in the closing level of Day 2.

Sklenicka Leaps Into the Chip Lead as Ertural Bluffs it Off

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Harun Ertural just bluffed off his stack to Michael Sklenicka, who appears to be the new chip leader late on Day 2.

The action was picked up on the river with the board reading 2♦2♥5♣10♦6♣. There was around 350,000 in the pot when Ertural shoved 237,000 in from under the gun. Sklenicka confirmed the count and then tossed in a few chips to make the call.

Ertural tapped the table multiple times as if to say “nice call,” then sheepishly flipped over A♣9♣ for a pure bluff. Sklenicka then revealed a pair of jacks with J♠J♥, and that was enough to send his stack soaring to around 1,500,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michael Sklenicka	1,500,000 550,000	550,000
