Dziubdziela Gets the Dub and Doubles

frankvisser

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

Mats Ullereng raised to 4,000 from the button and Marcin Dziubdziela three-bet to 16,000 from the big blind. Ullereng put in the extra chips and a flop of 10♣K♠8♣ appeared.

Dziubdziela continued for 7,000, which Ullereng called. Another bet from Dziubdziela then followed on the A♥ turn, this time for 17,000.

Ullereng took some time before committing the same amount to the pot for a call, and the 7♦ river rolled off. Dziubdziela went for it all and put his entire stack of 41,000 in the middle, and a quick call followed from Ullereng.

Dziubdziela showed K♥K♣ for a flopped set of kings, and that was enough to trump the two pair of Ullereng, who played A♠10♠.

Ullereng was left with less than ten big blinds, and they would soon be transferred to another player as well, resulting in his elimination.

Flip Becomes No Longer a Flip

frankvisser

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

Do Chung Tran got his last 12,000 chips in from under the gun and the action folded to Patricia Almeras in the big blind, who made the call.

Do Chung Tran: A♦Q♦
Patricia Almeras: 5♦5♣

Almeras flopped a set on 4♦5♠J♥ and Tran astutely noted that the hand was "no longer a flip."

The A♥ turn left him drawing dead and the A♠ river gave him trips as a consolation prize, but did not prevent his exit from Day 1c.

frankvisser

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After some preflop raises, Candido Cappiello's stack of 50,000 chips was in the middle against Torsten Pischl, who had the covering stack.

Candido Cappiello: 9♥9♦
Torsten Pischl: K♠K♥

The 10♣8♣2♦3♥A♣ runout did not save Cappiello, and the players shared a fist bump before Cappiello departed from the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Michel Molenaar, who just got second at the €10,200 no-limit hold 'em event, sat at the table with just over 11 big blinds.

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a flop of Q♦2♣10♣, Sasa Perok made a bet of 7,000, Jorge Garcia check-raised to 16,500 and Perok swiftly moved all in for approximately 43,000. Garcia quickly called with Perok at risk.

Sasa Perok: 10♦10♠
Jorge Garcia: A♦Q♠

Perok was well ahead with a set of tens against Garcia's top pair, but the Q♥ turn gave Garcia hope. A miracle A♣ river provided Garcia with a higher full house and sent Perok to the rail.

Double Knockout for Merva

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Samuel Polack and Julien Sitbon were seen leaving the tournament area together, as they were eliminated in a three-way all in and call situation.

According to Darius Merva who won the pot, he called from the small blind after Polack opened in the cutoff and Sitbon called on the button.

On a flop of Q♣J♦9♣, everybody checked to Sitbon who bet 2,500. Merva called, but Polack raised to 7,500. Then Sitbon decided to go all in for approximately 28,000. Merva called, and so did Polack, with his last 20,800 remaining chips.

Samuel Polack: K♦10♥
Julien Sitbon: A♣J♣
Darius Merva: Q♥10♣

Polack was in the lead with his flopped straight, but Sitbon still had a flush draw to win. However, Merva was lucky enough to hit a runner-runner full house thanks to the turn 9♠ and the river 9♦ to take this big pot.

Micallef Amasses More Chips

frankvisser

Niveau 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a flop of 9♥Q♣4♥, Matthew Micallef checked to Petr Zalsky, who then went on to make a bet of an unknown amount. Micallef called and the J♦ turn was dealt.

Micallef checked again and Zalsky put in 12,500 chips. Micallef responded with a jam, and Zalsky quickly threw in his entire stack of around 30,000 chips to put himself at risk.

Petr Zalsky: J♥J♣
Matthew Micallef: K♠10♦

Micallef's straight held as the 5♠ river did not upgrade Zalsky's set to a full house. Zalsky headed to the exit while Micallef chipped up further, playing more than three times the average stack.
