Bussmann Calls Down Sklenicka

David Salituro

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Iryna Tsikhanskaya raised to 5,000 in the cutoff and Michael Sklenicka and Daniel Bussmann came along from the blinds.

The flop came K♦J♣4♦ and Sklenicka led out for 5,500. Bussmann called, while Tsikhanskaya got out of the way.

Sklenicka bet another 19,000 on the A♠ turn, and Bussmann again called. The river was the 4♥ and Sklenicka bet 21,000. Bussmann snap-called.

Sklenicka showed A♣9♣ for two pair, but Bussmann had A♦J♦ for aces and jacks to win the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Michal Majtyka opened to 5,000 under the gun, and received calls from Vivian Saliba on the button, and Catalin Pop and Samir Nacer in the blinds.

The K♣Q♠5♥ flop was checked through to the 6♥ turn, where Nacer led out with a bet of 17,500 when Pop checked. Majtyka and Saliba both called to see the 5♣ river.

Nacer fired again with a bet of 35,000, which only Majtyka called.

Nacer tabled A♥2♥ for the missed flush draw, and Majtyka took the pot with K♦J♣ for top pair kings.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

When the action folded around to Benedikt Zeyher in the small blind, he shoved, and Shaun Deeb called for his stack of around 32,000 in the big blind.

Shaun Deeb: A♦6♦ All in
Benedikt Zeyher: Q♠9♠

Deeb was ahead, but the flop of 7♠5♠2♦ made things a lot sweatier as Zeyher picked up a flush draw. It was all over on the 10♠ turn as Zeyher improved to an unbeatable flush. A meaningless 9♣ fell on the river, and Deeb made his exit as Zeyher raked the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

From under the gun, Shashank Jain made it 5,000 to go. Patrik Jaros called from the next seat and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer defended his big blind.

Gallitzendoerfer checked in the dark before seeing the 5♠2♣J♥ flop. Jain placed out a continuation-bet of 6,000, which only Jaros called.

Jain slowed down and checked the 3♠ turn, which allowed Jaros to bet 11,000. This was enough to earn Jaros the pot, as Jain returned his cards to the dealer.

Bastian Gallitzendoerfer	480,000 80,000	80,000

Markus Jordan was all-in for around 50,000, and at risk against Dragoslav Timarac.

Markus Jordan: K♦K♥ All in
Dragoslav Timarac: 8♠8♥

Jordan had Timarac crushed, and there were no surprises on the 9♦7♠5♦K♣2♠ runout, Jordan turning top set, and dodging Timarac's gutshot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jakub Koleckar raised to 5,000 in the cutoff and was called by Rutger Hennen on the button, as well as Lorenzo Montanera and Josef Gulas in the blinds.

The flop came 7♠10♣4♥ and Koleckar bet 13,500. Hennen then raised to 35,000 and the blinds folded, while Koleckar put in his last 38,000 and Hennen called the extra amount.

Jakub Koleckar: K♠10♥ All in
Rutger Hennen: A♣10♠

Both players had flopped top pair, but Hennen was ahead with his ace-kicker. The 4♠ turn left Koleckar a card away from elimination, but he caught the K♥ on the river to make two pair and earn the double up.

Josef Gulas	320,000 50,000	50,000

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 80,000 already in there on a 9♣J♠10♥J♣ board, Iago Savino checked from the big blind and called a bet of 30,000 from Diego Montone, who was in the cutoff.

A K♠ dropped on the river and after Savino checked it over, Montone opted to knuckle it back. That proved to be a good decision as Savino rolled over a full house with K♥K♣, which earned him the pot as Montone mucked.

Dimitrios Gkatzas opened to 5,000 under the gun, and received calls from the button and small blind, before Ivan Banic produced a three-bet to 30,000 from the big blind.

Gkatzas quickly four-bet to 62,000, and all of his opponents, including Banic, swiftly folded.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With Said Madani all-in from the small blind, Cheng Zhao fired out a bet of 22,000 from the big blind on a flop of 4♥Q♦2♣. Istvan Pilhofer, who was seated in the cutoff, called to see a turn.

Zhao slowed down and checked the 10♥ turn, prompting Pilhofer to bet 38,000. Zhao took a few moments, then check-jammed, putting Pilhofer all in for his stack of around 100,000 total. Pilhofer let out a long sigh, sat back in his chair, then made the call to put himself at risk.

Said Madani: A♠8♥ All in
Istvan Pilhofer: 4♠4♣ All in
Cheng Zhao: 10♣10♦

Pilhofer had flopped a set of fours, but Zhao spiked a higher set on the turn. The 7♣ completed the board, and Zhao collected all of Pilhofer's and Madani's chips.
