OllieGarland

Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 110,000 with two players looking at a board that read 10♥7♣10♦.

Feyzullah Karaarslan, in early position, checked the action to Sergey Baranski, on the button. Baranski bet enough to put Karaarslan all in for his effective stack of approximately 55,000, sending Karaarslan into the tank.

After several minutes of thinking, the clock was called and Karaarslan called off the bet for his tournament life.

Feyzullah Karaarslan: A♦J♥
Sergey Baranski: 6♥6♣

The turn and river fell the Q♠ and 8♠ respectively and Karaarslan was eliminated on the stone bubble. That concludes Day 1a; full recap to follow.

Calum_Grant

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Merijn van Rooij, who was just involved in a controversial hand, open-raised from under the gun before compatriot Alexander van der Swaluw three-bet to 12,000 from the cutoff. Van Rooij responded with a four-bet jam and pushed his 92,500 stack into the middle.

Van Der Swaluw, who had his opponent covered, went into the tank but eventually made the call.

Merijn van Rooij: A♦5♦
Alexander van der Swaluw: Q♦Q♠

Van Rooij needed an ace and failed to find one on the 9♥3♥K♣ flop. The 5♣ turn gave the at-risk player some more outs, but the 7♥ river confirmed his departure.

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Rona Gergely opened from middle position, but Khalil Ghassan in the hijack three-bet to 9,000. In the cutoff, Marcin Kreft looked at his cards, and went all in for 22,500.

Action came back to Gergely, who five-bet all in for 82,500. Ghassan seemed to hesitate, but he eventually called with the biggest stack.

Marcin Kreft: Q♣Q♠
Rona Gergely: A♠K♦
Khalil Ghassan: A♦10♦

Gergely hit top pair on the flop 9♦9♣K♥, but Ghassan could still win thanks to the turn 6♦ that gave him a flush draw. However, the A♥ came on the river to secure Gergely's win with two pair and eliminate Kreft.
