Csata's Survival Trick Works For Him

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tim Baker

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

Marcell Csata got his stack of 81,000 into the middle preflop with Marek Tomes the player trying to send him home.

Marcell Csata: 9♦9♥ All in
Marek Tomes: A♥6♥

Before Csata saw Tomes' suited ace, he got out of his chair, took a swig of his large canned beverage, and refused to look at his opponent's cards or the runout, citing, "It brings me good luck."

Still, Csata didn't see that Tomes picked up some extra outs on the 10♦6♦8♣ flop by pairing his six. However, the rest of the board came Q♦4♣, and Csata doubled up.

It was only after he had dragged in his newly acquired chips that Csata asked his neighbors what hand he had been up against.

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.

Grzegorz Flak	460,000 110,000	110,000
Jan Krnac	450,000 190,000	190,000

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

Ratmir Kesidis and Leon Veehof built a pot of more than 200,000 as they went heads-up to a flop of Q♦J♣7♣. Veehof then moved all in from the hijack, and Kesidis called for 236,000 in the small blind.

Ratmir Kesidis: Q♣Q♠ All in
Leon Veehof: K♦K♠

Veehof showed two kings, but Kesidis had flopped top set with his queens. The board ran out 8♠A♥ and Kesidis earned the massive double up while his rail erupted in celebration.

"Vamos!" he shouted as he shot out of his seat and exchanged a round of high-fives with his supporters.

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.

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

Ivo Donev made it 12,000 under the gun before Gennaro Proscia three-bet the hijack to 33,000. Max Schoch four-bet jammed for 97,000 from the button, and only Proscia called to put him at risk.

Max Schoch: A♥J♦ All in
Gennaro Proscia: K♥K♦

Schoch needed to come from behind to beat Proscia's cowboys. The A♠10♦7♥ flop was exactly what Schoch was looking for, as he paired his ace to take the lead. The 6♠ turn and 4♥ river didn't change anything, and Schoch kept his seat in the Main Event.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gennaro Proscia	310,000 240,000	240,000
Max Schoch	218,000 168,000	168,000

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.

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
