Obermaier, Uebefeldt Chop Up Adamczewski; Kretschmann Takes a Chunk Off Velasco

David Salituro

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

Lukasz Adamczewski moved all in for 205,000 in the hijack and Josef Obermeier reshoved in the small blind. Ducardo Ueberfeldt then called for 800,000 in the big blind.

Lukasz Adamczewski: 10♠10♣ All in
Ducardo Ueberfeldt: A♠K♣ All in
Josef Obermeier: A♣J♦

The flop came 8♥3♠4♣, while the 5♥ turn kept Adamczewski in the lead and left him poised for a triple up. The river was the 2♥ and Adamczewski raised his fist in the air to celebrate his triple up.

"You lose," tablemate Antonello Ferrauiolo told him.

"F**k," Adamczewski replied, realizing that Obermeier and Ueberfeldt had both made a wheel to chop the pot and send him to the rail.

At the same time, at another table, Felix Kretschmann bet 150,000 from the hijack on a board of Q♥7♣Q♠5♦ and Juan Velasco called in the cutoff.

Kretschmann bet 500,000 on the 8♦ river and Velasco again called. Kretschmann showed 9♦6♦ for a rivered straight, and Velasco mucked.

Maxime Taldir

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

The action was picked up on a board of 9♥10♥9♠6♦J♥ with roughly 1,300,000 in the pot.

Alexey Mishuk in early position checked, and Manig Loeser went into the tank. He eventually checked back, so Mishuk thought he had the win with K♠J♣ for two pair.

Loeser however had a better two pair with J♦10♦ and won the pot to reach the 4,000,000-chip mark.

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

There was a four-bet pot with around 1,700,000 in the middle on a flop of 8♠8♦9♣ between Viorel Gavrila on the button and Marius Gicovanu in the small blind.

Despite the heavy preflop action, it was checked all the way to showdown on the 2♠4♣ runout, where Gicovanu tabled A♦K♣ for ace-high. Gavrila couldn't beat that and mucked, which left him with just 2 big blinds.

Ioan Taizs opened to 160,000 from early position, and Antonello Ferraiuolo defended the big blind.

Ferraiuolo check-called in the face of a bet of 100,000 from Taizs on the K♥9♥4♦ flop, leading to the A♣ turn.

Ferraiuolo checked once more, and folded in the face of a double-barrel of 275,000 from Taizs.

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

Marian Kubis jammed for 915,000 from middle position. Antonello Ferraiuolo called off his last 470,000 from the cutoff and the button folded, followed by the blinds.

Antonello Ferraiuolo: A♥J♦ All in
Marian Kubis: 6♥6♣

Elimination was close for Ferraiulo on K♣5♦4♣, but the 10♠Q♥ runout gave him a runner-runner straight to double up.

Kai Cocklin

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

Claudio Daffina shoved 985,000 from middle position and when the action got to Ivan Fedor in the big blind, he took a little time before he called.

Claudio Daffina: A♣K♥ All in
Ivan Fedor: A♦Q♠

Daffina was in the lead with his big slick, and got a pretty dreamy flop of 9♥A♥4♥, which gave him a flush draw and removed one of Fedor's outs. The 3♥ completed Daffina's flush and earned him the pot, with the 6♦ filling out the board.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ivan Fedor	3,000,000 600,000	600,000

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

Viorel Gavrila moved all in from under the gun for 160,000, and Sergiu Cornea rejammed from the small blind. Frederic Delval was in the big blind, and he moved his stack of roughly 650,000 into the middle, creating a three-way all-in.

Viorel Gavrila: A♠4♥ All in
Frederic Delval: J♠10♦ All in
Sergiu Cornea: K♠7♠

Gavrila was ahead, but Cornea hit the front after the K♥Q♥2♠ flop, and there was no alteration of the position on the 8♦ turn or 6♣ river.

In the next hand, Amza Cantec was also seen exiting from the table.

Kretschman is Unstoppable

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

David Salituro

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

Felix Kretschmann raised to 160,000 in early position, Dorian Melchers moved all in for 1,000,000 in the big blind, and Kretschmann snap-called.

Dorian Melchers: Q♠10♠ All in
Felix Kretschmann: A♠K♠

Kretschmann had picked up another big hand and was poised to collect yet one more bustout as the 6♥5♠2♣J♥8♣ board offered no help to Melchers, sending him to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Ioan Taizs had shoved from the cutoff and Ducardo Ueberfeldt called in the big blind.

Ioan Taizs: K♥2♠ All in
Ducardo Ueberfeldt: 9♦9♣

The 8♠Q♥3♥4♥Q♦ board kept Ueberfeldt in the lead with his nines and secured him the pot. The stacks were counted down, and Ueberfeldt had Taizs' remaining 730,000 barely covered to earn the knockout.
