Hu Picks Off Kretschmann's Bluff

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Felix Kretschmann limped in from the small blind with 97 and Lulei Hu checked his option with 53 in the big blind.

The flop came 52Q and Kretschmann bet 500,000 Hu called with his pair of fives to the A turn, where both checked.

A Q fell on the river and Kretschmann bet 2,500,000 as a bluff, which eventually Hu called to claim the pot with his pair.

Palevic Survives

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Jose Gomez Casillas raised to 3,000,000 from the small blind and then called the shove of Rifat Palevic in the big blind, who moved all in for 3,525,000.

Rifat Palevic: A3 All in
Jose Gomez Casillas: J2

A flop of 379 gave Palevic a pair of threes and kept him in the lead, and the 6 turn put him a step closer to safety. Nothing changed on the 10 river, and Casillas sent over the chips.

Juan Velasco Eliminated in 6th Place (€40,250)

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Juan Velasco
Juan Velasco

Jose Gomez Casillas made it 5,700,000 under the gun and Juan Velasco shoved for 7,750,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Casillas, he called.

Juan Velasco: AQ All in
Jose Gomez Casillas: 87

It was a sweaty situation for both, but especially for Velasco as his tournament was on the line. He found a good flop in K410 as he picked up a gutshot and stayed in the lead. However, a 3 turn gave Casillas a flush draw and suddenly the situation wasn't so cosy for Velasco.

All eyes were on the empty slot where the river card was going to hit, and when the 7 landed, Velasco hit the rail as Casillas made a pair of sevens.

Felix Kretschmann

Felix Kretschmann made it 1,000,000 from the hijack and Juan Velasco shoved the big blind for 3,625,000. Kretschmann called.

Juan Velasco: 44 All in
Felix Kretschmann: 86

Velasco was ahead with his pocket fours and needed to win a flip to stay alive. A flop of K35 was good for Velasco, and he was one card away from safety after the J turn.

Nothing changed on the J river, and Velasco doubled up.

Daffina Finds a Double

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Claudio Daffina shoved 2,175,000 from the cutoff and Jose Gomez Casillas called in the big blind.

Claudio Daffina: A10 All in
Jose Gomez Casillas: 98

Daffina was in the lead with his ace-high, and pulled way out in front on the A45 flop after he paired his ace. Casillas needed running cards to land the knockout, but the 410 runout wasn't it, which meant Daffina doubled.
