Two Pair Not Good Enough for Daniel

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Richard Hayes

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gregor Daniel opened to 40,000 from early position, and Josef Gulas defended the big blind.

The flop came 10♥6♦2♦, and Gulas check-called a bet of 50,000 from Daniel.

The same pattern followed on the 4♥ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 80,000 from Daniel.

The A♦ river completed the board, and was checked through.

Gulas tabled A♥10♠ for the rivered two pair, and Daniel let out a yelp of frustration when he saw his A♣6♣ for a lower two pair was beat, although he should be relieved he found the check back.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The shorter stack of Marko Bajic went in preflop with the A♦Q♣ and he had a mountain to climb in order to stay in contention as Max Neugebauer looked him up with the A♠A♣.

There was no escaping on the 7♠3♠3♣5♣2♠ runout to send Bajic to the payout desk.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Two of the shorter stacks got their chips into the middle and Mateusz Hajman was the player at risk on the previous feature table, up against Italy's Alberto Speranzoni.

Mateusz Hajman: J♦J♣ All in
Alberto Speranzoni: A♥K♦

The flip went to Speranzoni, who made trips on the K♠K♥3♦ flop before the Q♥ turn and A♦ river improved him to a full house.

Benjamin Huegel and Patrik Zidek were also seen exiting the tournament area from other tables.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Tzur Levy came in for a raise to 40,000 from the hijack with Heinz Traut calling on the button, and Jonas Lauck defending his big blind.

Everyone checked the 2♦9♦5♠ flop to see the Q♦ appear on the turn. Lauck checked again, and Levy fired a delayed continuation-bet of 65,000. Traut released his cards, but Lauck called.

The 5♣ hit the river and Lauck checked. Levy pushed out a bet of 230,000, which was enough to force Lauck out.

Tim Baker

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

From the button, Roland Haddad jammed for 410,000 and Luca Maccatrozzo moved all in over the top from the small blind for around 700,000. After the big blind folded, the cards were shown.

Roland Haddad: A♠8♣ All in
Luca Maccatrozzo: A♥10♠

Haddad held the inferior ace and needed to spike an eight to double up. Maccatrozzo flopped Broadway on the J♥K♠Q♥ flop and Haddad could only chop the pot with a ten. The remainder of the board came 6♦K♥ and Haddad was the next player to head to the payout desk.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Yannick Schumacher opened to 40,000 from middle position, and received a call from Josef Gulas in the next seat.

On the 8♣7♠3♣ flop, Schumacher check-called a bet of 65,000 from Gulas.

The same pattern followed on the 7♥ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 75,000 from Gulas.

The K♥ river completed the board, and Schumacher checked for a third time. Gulas jammed with the covering stack, and Schumacher, who had 240,000 behind, immediately put his head to his hands as he studied the board, looking pained.

He proceeded to burn through all his remaining four time banks contemplating the decision, and with ten seconds left before his hand was declared dead, folded.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Michael Sklenicka limped in from the cutoff and Lulei Hu stuck in a stack of chips on the button to cover the rest of the table. Catalin Pop called for 250,000 in the small blind, while Sklenicka folded.

Catalin Pop: A♥K♥ All in
Lulei Hu: A♠3♥

Both players ended up with trips on the A♣9♦7♦A♦4♦ board, but Pop's king-kicker continued to play to earn him the double up.

Jan-Willem Nijmeijer raised to 40,000 in middle position and was called by Iago Savino on the button and Martin Kabrhel in the big blind.

All three players checked to the river on a board of A♦K♦K♠5♠4♠. Nijmeijer then bet 75,000 and Savino raised to 250,000.

Kabrhel folded, but Nijmeijer came back with a reraise to 600,000. Savino quickly folded.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Selim Cimen moved all in for 245,000 under the gun and action folded around to Carlos Spoddig who reshoved for 575,000 in the small blind. Aliaksandr Shylko snap-called in the big blind.

Selim Cimen: 3♣3♦ All in
Carlos Spoddig: A♠Q♥ All in
Aliaksandr Shylko: Q♦Q♠

"How do you wake up with it every time?" a frustrated Spoddig said when Shylko revealed his queens. The board ran out 8♣5♠4♠2♦K♠ and Shylko held up to send both opponents to the rail.

"Jackpot," tablemate Bastian Gallitzendoerfer said.

"Just lucky," Shylko added.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dimitrios Gkatzas pushed all in for 295,000 on the button, and Yannick Schumacher isolated with a reshove in the next seat.

Dimitrios Gkatzas: A♥Q♠ All in
Yannick Schumacher: A♠Q♦

There was no surprise on the Q♥6♣4♦5♠2♠ board, and they chopped.

Gkatzas then opened into the big blind of Jakob Miegel, who defended, and they checked the 7♠7♥6♥ flop. Miegel led the 7♦ turn for 30,000 and the 5♣ river for 20,000. Gkatzas called the first bet and then used two time banks on the final street. He pushed all in, and Miegel folded to get shown the A♥K♣ by the Greek.
