Schoch Finds an Ace to Beat Proscia's Cowboys

Tim Baker

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Csata's Survival Trick Works For Him

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

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.

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.
