Pidun Sniffs Out Gallitzendoerfer's Bluff

Tim Baker

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Catalin Pop raised under the gun to 120,000 and Daniel Pidun called from middle position. Bastian Gallitzendoerfer squeezed to 320,000 from the button, and only Pidun called.

Pidun check-called a bet of 320,000 by Gallitzendoerfer on the 8♥5♠10♣ flop.

The 3♠ turn checked through to see the 7♣ complete the board. Pidun checked for the last time, and Gallitzendoerfer fired out 700,000. Pidun used up a few of his time banks before elexting to make the call.

Gallitzendoerfer showed an airball with A♥2♥, and lost the pot to Pidun's K♠10♠ for a pair of tens.

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Aliaksandr Shylko raised to 120,000 under the gun as action went on Ivan Banic in the hijack. He used up a few time banks but ended up folding. Catalin Pop, though, three-bet to 325,000 in the cutoff. Action got back to Shylko who moved all in for 475,000, and Pop called.

Aliaksandr Shylko: A♦A♥ All in
Catalin Pop: 8♠8♣

"I knew you had aces," Martin Kabrhel said.

"You're such a good player," Shylko replied.

"I agree. He didn't know," Kabrhel added.

The board ran out 10♥K♣4♠2♠Q♥ and Shylko doubled up right before the three-table redraw.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Szabolcs Kukucska moved all in for 650,000 in the hijack, Ran Ilani reraised to 1,100,000 on the button, and the rest of the table folded.

Szabolcs Kukucska: K♥Q♥ All in
Ran Ilani: A♦K♠

Ilani had Kukucksa dominated and was poised for the knockout as the A♥ fell in the window, but it was followed by 2♥6♥ as Kukucksa flopped a flush. The 8♣ turn left Ilani drawing dead, and he handed over the double up after the 4♠ fell on the river.

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Marco Di Persio limped in from the small blind, Murilo Garcia shoved in the big blind, and Di Persio snap-called for 775,000.

Marco Di Persio: A♥Q♣ All in
Murilo Garcia: 2♥2♣

The flop came 7♥10♣3♦, while the 10♠ turn gave Di Persio additional outs to counterfeit Garcia's pair. The 3♥ fell on the river to put two pair on the board, and Di Persio's ace-kicker played to earn him a double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Bastian Gallitzendoerfer raised to 110,000 from early position and Yuhan Wang three-bet the big blind to 400,000. Gallitzendoerfer four-bet to 1,010,000, and Wang five-bet jammed for 2,635,000. Gallitzendoerfer called after a short tank, and the cards were revealed.

Yuhan Wang: Q♠Q♥ All in
Bastian Gallitzendoerfer: A♦K♠

It was a flip for over five million that Wang had to win to survive. Gallitzendoerfer took the lead on the 10♠7♦A♥ flop by drilling a pair of aces. Wang couldn't find a queen on the 2♠ turn or K♥ river, and all of Wang's chips headed over to Gallitzendoerfer.

Serkan Kuru opted to open shove for 895,000 on the button and Martin Kabrhel in the small blind asked for a count.

"That is a large bet," Kabrhel said and Kuru replied "you have to double me up" before Kabrhel declared the call a few seconds later.

Serkan Kuru: A♠J♠ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♣Q♣

The A♦9♣5♣ flop left Kuru on thin ice and he was drawing dead on the 8♣ turn to make the 8♠ river a formality, ending his run in 29th place for €35,600.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Catalin Pop had just moved tables and took his new seat in the big blind as Vlastimil Pustina opened to 100,000 in middle position. Pop called and the flop came 6♦5♣4♦.

Pop then led out for 65,000, Pustina moved all in for 510,000, and Pop snap-called.

Vlastimil Pustina: Q♣Q♦ All in
Catalin Pop: 8♦7♦

"You arrived just in time," tablemate Martin Kabrhel said as Pop showed a flopped straight and flush draw. The 6♠ turn gave Pustina some outs, but he missed the 2♠ river and was sent to the rail.

"One, two, three, four for the final table," Kabrhel said, pointing at himself, Serkan Kuru, Robert Anshelm, and Gerald Karlic. "Sorry Alex, you were unable to bust Vlasta," he added, leaving out Aliaksandr Shylko.

"I tried my best," Shylko replied.

Ferdinando D'Alessio: K♠J♦ All in
Daniel Pidun: K♥Q♣

Alberto Speranzoni: A♥K♣

Vlastimil Pustina moved all in for 275,000 under the gun, Aliaksandr Shylko reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table folded.

Vlastimil Pustina: Q♥9♥ All in
Aliaksandr Shylko: 6♠6♣

The flop came Q♦J♣8♦ to give Pustina the lead with a pair of queens, and Shylko couldn't catch up on the 2♦ turn or 5♠ river and Pustina doubled up.

Murilo Garcia then raised to 110,000 in early position, Max Neugebauer shoved for 540,000 in the big blind, and Garcia called.

Max Neugebauer: A♠8♠ All in
Murilo Garcia: A♥7♥

Neugebauer hit a pair of eights on the K♠3♣8♦ flop, and the 3♥ turn left Garcia drawing dead. The river was the 4♦ and Neugebauer doubled up.
