Nicholls Sent Home by Gude

Tim Baker

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

On a flop of 8♥2♠8♣, Matthias Gude had 30,000 plaecd out in front of him and Kai Nicholls had jammed for around 120,000. Gude thought for a while before electing to make the call to try to eliminate Nicholls.

Kai Nicholls: 7♣7♥ All in
Matthias Gude: 9♣9♦

Gude had made the correct call with pocket nines, as he had Nicholls' two sevens in bad shape with two cards to come. There was no miracle seven on the 10♣ turn or 5♣ river, and Nicholls headed home a little earlier than planned.

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

Artem Kobylynskyi raised to 12,000 in middle position, Mario Boos three-bet to 32,000 in the hijack, and Kobylynskyi called.

The flop came 8♣6♥4♥ and Boos continued for 30,000. Kobylynskyi called to see the 5♦ turn, where he led out for 35,000. Boos called.

The river was the Q♣ and Kobylynskyi moved all in. Boos had around 220,000 remaining and took a few minutes before folding.

At another table, Seyed Dezfooli was all in for 105,000 and up against Dinesh Alt.

Seyed Dezfooli: K♦Q♦ All in
Dinesh Alt: A♦K♠

Both players ended up with top pair on the J♣3♥8♥K♣4♠ board, but Alt's ace-kicker earned him the pot and sent Dezfooli to the rail.

Christian Zetzsche

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

There was a three-bet to 41,000 in front of Johannes Franz out of the small blind and Zoltan Szarka on the button then four-bet to 95,000. Franz went into the tank and then moved all in for Szarka to beat him into the pot.

Johannes Franz: J♦J♠ All in
Zoltan Szarka: A♥A♣

Franz instantly exclaimed a loud "fuck" and jumped out of his chair while a friend on the rail was cheering for him, predicting "it will come.”

Franz asked for a jack before the 10♦8♦7♦ flop gave him a gutshot straight flush draw. No help arrived with the K♥ turn, but the 4♦ river secured his double for 318,000, causing vivid celebrations by the German.

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

Alessandro Pichierri made it 12,000 to go from middle position with Lukas Pazma calling from the cutoff and Aleksei Vandyshev calling on the button. Shay Rozenbaum squeuezed it up to 65,000 from the small blind, and only Pazma called to see a flop.

As soon as the dealer fanned out the 7♥J♦4♦ flop, Rozenbaum overbet jammed for 347,000. Pazma, went deep into the tank for roughly five minutes. In the end. Pazma slammed in the call for almost half of his stack.

Shay Rozenbaum: A♣K♥ All in
Lukas Pazma: K♣J♣

Pazma had come to the right decision with top pair, as Rozenbaum just had ace-high and was drawing thin.

The 10♣ on the turn offered Rozenbaum with a straight draw, but the 2♠ river was brick. Rozenbaum hit the rail, and Pazma's stack grew to around 1,300,000.

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

Georgios Zisimopoulos opened the hijack to 13,000 and Florian Thumm called on the button. Iago Savino also came along from the big blind.

They saw a flop of J♣4♥6♥ and when it got to Zisimopoulos, he made a continuation-bet of 21,000. Thumm called, then Savino pumped it up to 60,000. Zisimopoulos three-bet the flop to 105,000, which got Thumm to quickly fold.

Savino wasted no time in moving all in, and with around 110,000 behind, Zisimopoulos made the call for his tournament life.

Georgios Zisimopoulos: K♠K♥ All in
Iago Savino: 6♣4♣

The disappointment was evident in Zisimopoulos' body language as he was behind to two pair, but there was still a runout to sweat where he could catch up. Unfortunately for him, there would be no catching up as the Q♠7♣ runout meant his kings were no good.

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

Around 240,000 was already in the middle as Timofey Asmolov and Vlad Andrusca went to the turn on a board of 3♥Q♦8♠9♥. Asmolov then bet 100,000 from the small blind.

While Andrusca was considering the decision, Asmolov offered to show his cards if he folded. Tablemate Marcell Csata objected and claimed they shouldn't be allowed to discuss the hand. A tournament official had to be called over to resolve the issue.

"It's no problem," Andrusca said.

"I'm okay with it if they have no issue," Csata replied, and the matter was dropped. Andrusca then called and the 4♣ fell on the river.

Asmolov moved all in and Andrusca, with around 120,000 remaining, let out a loud sigh and quickly folded. Asmolov offered to show, but Andrusca turned him down.

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

Elia Salerno three-bet to 35,000 in the cutoff and was called by Vikrant Mangal in the small blind and Gerald Karlic under the gun.

The flop came A♦6♣4♠ and Salerno bet 35,000. Both opponents called and the Q♦ fell on the turn. Salerno then moved all in for 176,000.

Mangal quickly folded, but Karlic went into the tank. A few minutes went by before another player at the table called the clock.

"Still same hand? Ridiculous table," Martin Kabrhel, looking up from his phone for the first time in a while, said.

Karlic eventually called and Salerno showed 8♦6♦ for a pair and flush draw, while Karlic had A♠J♦ for top pair.

The river was the 2♠ and Karlic held on to send Salerno to the rail.

"Slow roll. I would've done the same, but I would've taken six more minutes for maximum pain," Kabrhel told him.

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.

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

Andras Halasi was in the cutoff with a raise of 27,000 in front of him before Marcello Miniucchi moved all in for 225,000 on the button. Halasi tanked for a few minutes, but he eventually called to put Miniucchi at risk.

"Wow, big call," tablemate Michael Adam said.

Marcello Miniucchi: A♥Q♦ All in
Andras Halasi: 9♠9♥

Miniucchi was flipping for his tournament life, and he found an ace on the A♣K♥6♣ flop to take the lead. Halasi buried his head in his hands as the board ran out 5♠4♦, forcing him to hand over the double.
