Koenig Falls to Francort

Kai Cocklin

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Dominik Koenig had his stack of around 800,000 in from the button and was put at risk by Javier Francort from the big blind.

Dominik Koenig: J♣10♦ All in
Javier Francort: A♦8♣

Francort pulled further into the lead on the A♣5♦6♠ flop, but Koenig picked up a few outs on the J♦ turn. Only a jack or ten would do for Koenig, but the 5♣ river wasn't it, which left him on the sidelines.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

From under the gun, Javier Francort raised to 160,000 with Sascha Hausner calling on the button, and Virgil Marculescu defending his big blind.

Marculescu and Francort knuckled the action over to Hausner on the 8♠A♥3♠ flop, and he opted to bet 140,000. Marculescu folded, but Francort called.

A 2♠ hit the turn and Francort checked for a second time. Haunser bet 270,000, which was enough to force Francort to fold.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Milorad Stojisavljevic pushed all-in for the last 240,000 and was called by Amiel Gamliel in the next seat, all other players folded.

Milorad Stojisavljevic: A♥8♦ All in
Amiel Gamliel: A♦9♦

A split pot was likely preflop and after the K♥K♠4♦ flop, but the 9♣ turn left Stojisavljevic drawing dead prior to the 10♠ on the river to end his run on the final five tables.

Spataru Cracks Aces to Survive

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Andrei Spataru shoved from under the gun for around 400,000 and Martin Vittek made the call from the small blind.

Andrei Spataru: K♣5♣ All in
Martin Vittek: A♠A♣

Spataru had run into it, but could see an escape path as the 6♦3♦7♣ flop gave him a gutshot. That came in on the 4♥ turn, which left Vittek drawing to a chop. No sharing was going to happen on Spataru's watch, though, as the 10♠ river meant he doubled up.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sarah Link raised to 120,000 in middle position and was called by Asish Ghosh and Cheng Zhao in the blinds.

Link continued for 80,000 on the A♣2♠9♠ flop and only Ghosh called. The turn was the A♠ and Link bet 340,000.

Ghosh again called, and both players checked down the 8♠ river. Ghosh showed 6♦6♠, but Link had Q♦J♠ for a rivered flush to win the pot.

Javier Francort made it 120,000 from the hijack with Alexander Fetsch calling out of the small blind and Sascha Hausner defending his big blind.

After two checks on the K♥7♣5♦ flop, Francort bet 125,000, which only Hausner called.

Both players checked the 10♦ turn to see the 8♣ roll off on the river. Hausner bet 325,000 and got an instant fold from Francort.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Cheng Zhao opened the hijack to 125,000 and was met with a three-bet by Michal Szczeblewski to 255,000. That wasn't enough for Zhao, as when it got back to him, he four-bet to 625,000. Szczeblewski called.

On the 3♠3♣2♦ flop, Zhao continued with a bet of 400,000, which Szczeblewski called to see the 7♦ turn. After some time, Zhao checked, then Szczeblewski moved all in. Zhao had around 1,400,000 behind, but didn't want to invest another chip as he quickly folded.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Robin Meyer bet 250,000 from the big blind on a flop of 10♦6♥2♥ before Ignazio De Rosa moved all in for 800,000 in middle position. Vagke Sagkinian then reshoved for 1,300,000 in the hijack, and Meyer called to put both players at risk.

Ignazio De Rosa: Q♣Q♥ All in
Vagke Sagkinian: A♣A♦ All in
Robin Meyer: A♥9♥

Sagkinian was ahead with his aces, but he needed to dodge Meyer's nut flush draw as they both took out their phones to capture the action. The turn was the 3♦, while the 5♠ river was safe for Sagkinian to scoop the entire pot. He doubled up off Meyer, while De Rosa was sent to the rail.

Vagke Sagkinian	3,500,000 1,900,000	1,900,000

Skipper Stunned as Consecutive Hands Leave Him Out

Kai Cocklin

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Two hands in quick succession just ended the run of Daniel Skipper.

First, Vladimir Martynov shoved the hijack for 535,000 and Skipper put in the call from the big blind.

Vladimir Martynov: 6♠6♥ All in
Daniel Skipper: K♣J♣

The flop of 2♠4♣3♣ triggered Skipper to let out an early celebration as he clenched his fist in delight, only to realize that he hadn't flopped a flush. He did still have plenty of outs, but the early claim of the pot angered the poker gods as the runout of 10♥7♠ meant Martynov doubled up.

In the very next hand, Skipper got to the turn from the small blind on a board of 9♦8♥3♥A♣ and bet 130,000, only for Sarah Link to raise to 300,000 from the big blind. Skipper three-bet to 600,000, Link shoved, and Skipper called off the 500,000 he had behind.

Daniel Skipper: A♠3♠ All in
Sarah Link: A♦8♣

Both players had turned two pair, but it was Skipper that needed help as he was way behind. A 10♣ on the river sealed his fate, as Link's stack rocketed up to around 4,000,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sarah Link	4,000,000 1,200,000	1,200,000

Vladimir Martynov	1,150,000 650,000	650,000
