Nanos Nullifies Matei

Richard Hayes

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nicusor Matei opened to 4,500 from under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 13,000 from Konstantinos Nanos on the button.

Action folded back to Matei, who four-bet jammed for his 56,500 total stack. Nanos asked for a count and called.

Nicusor Matei; K♣K♥ All in
Konstantinos Nanos: A♠Q♠

Matei was in good shape with cowboys versus a single overcard, and he was still ahead after the Q♣4♦2♠ flop, although Nanos picked up top pair.

The 5♠ turn spelt danger, giving Nanos a flush draw, and the 7♠ hit on the river to send Matei to the rail.

Matei slammed the table in disgust at his misfortune, and beat a hasty retreat from the tournament area.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A pot of at least 100,000 had developed by the river, on a board of J♥4♠5♦4♥3♦, in a hand between Roman Krahula in early position and Simone Pegolotti in the big blind.

Pegolotti jammed for around 135,000 with the covering stack, and Krahula, with around 70,000 behind, went into the tank.

After around 90 seconds, Krahula called. Pegolotti flipped over J♣J♠ for the full house, and Krahula was off from the table, the dealer flipping his cards to show A♠A♦.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Last year at King’s Resort, Simone Andrian took down the coveted 2024 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event bracelet and a career-best score of €1,300,000.

Andrian became the 15th player in history to win the WSOPE Main Event, triumphing over a field of 768 entrants. He ultimately defeated Urmo Velvelt in a gripping heads-up duel that lasted over three hours and saw the chip lead change hands multiple times.

“It’s amazing. By far the biggest score of my career. I couldn’t be more happy” he said following his victory. "I’ve been playing here a lot and to have that kind of score here feels special.”

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

Rostyslav Sabishchenko opened from under the gun to 5,000 and Sebastien Grax shoved the button for around 40,000. After thinking a little, Sabishchenko called.

Sebastien Grax: K♠K♦ All in
Rostyslav Sabishchenko: A♠Q♥

Graz was well ahead with his cowboys, but that lead came crashing down on the J♦A♣5♦ flop as Sabishchenko paired his ace. No kings arrived on the 9♥8♥ runout, and Grax hit the rail.

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

Ioannis Angelou Konstas made it around 6,500 to go from early position and only Florian Bock called from the big blind.

Bock jammed for 14,500 on the 2♣10♠6♥ flop, and Angelou Konstas reluctantly called.

Florian Bock: Q♦10♦ All in
Ioannis Angelou Konstas: K♣8♣

Bock had taken the lead with top pair, and he managed to stay ahead through the 5♦ turn and 2♦ river, earning himself a much-needed double-up.

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

Heads-up on a flop of A♣8♣3♠, Michal Majtyka bet 11,000 from the cutoff before Samir Nacer raised to 30,000 in the hijack. Majtyka called and the 7♣ fell on the turn.

Nacer then bet another 30,000, but this time Majtyka came back with an all-in shove for 90,000. Nacer took a minute before folding, and Majtyka took the pot.

This table, which just returned to the main tournament area after spending the first two levels of the day on the feature table, also includes 2023 champion Max Neugebauer, Vivian Saliba, and Sarah Link.
