frankvisser

Niveau 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Claudio Di Giacomo open-shoved from the hijack for his final 186,000 chips. Marton Czuczor was in the hijack and tanked for a while before announcing a minimum raise. The dealer informed him that that would put him all-in as well, and he got a second triangle out of his tray. The rest of the table folded and the players showed down.

Claudio Di Giacomo: A♣J♣
Marton Czuczor: 10♣10♦

Czuczor flopped a set on K♠10♠4♣ and faded a queen on the 5♥ turn and 2♠ river. He was one of the 65 players who have not made it past the first two levels here on Day 2.

ajlamers

Niveau 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Foued Benjima opened to 24,000 in middle position and Sandro Hauser shoved all in for 242,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Benjima who asked for a count before making the call.

Sandro Hauser: A♣Q♥
Foued Benjima: A♥K♥

The flop came K♦Q♠6♥ and both players flopped a pair with Benjima still holding the best of it. The 3♠ on the turn was a brick but the Q♣ on the river gave Hauser trip queens to double through Benjima.

Niveau 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mikhail Nikolaev, who started today in third place on the leaderboard, opened to 25,000 from middle position and got called by Andrea Ruosi from the hijack and Marian Ciurea in the small blind. Valon Olluri was in the big blind and saw an opportunity as he put in the three-bet squeeze to 116,000.

Nikolaev was not planning to let himself get bullied around and four-bet shoved, covering every other player involved in the hand. Ruosi and Ciurea quickly folded, but Olluri had to go into the tank. Eventually, the clock was called and Olluri finally let his hand go in the dying seconds of the countdown.

Djorno Goes Runner-Runner to Send Bolimowski Into a Frenzy

ajlamers

Niveau 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Luis De Faria opened to 24,000 in early position and was called by Julien Bolimowski in the hijack and Dan Djorno in the big blind. The flop came K♣7♦4♥ and De Faria continued with a bet of 32,000. Bolimowski just called and Djorno came along as well.

The turn was the 2♥ and the action checked to Bolimowski who pushed out a bet of 100,000. Djorno called and De Faria got out of the way. The A♥ landed on the river and Djorno ripped all in for 199,000. Bolimowski put his head on the table as he deliberated for a couple of minutes.

Eventually, Bolimowski made the call and Djorno flipped over K♥6♥ for the nut flush. Bolimowski was furious as he slammed his chips into the pot, rambled some French words, and was forced to take a walk around the table to cool off. He even made it back to the table to take a picture of the cooler though.
