MaximeTaldir

Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On Table 10, cards went on their backs on a board of J♣K♦3♣J♥. With 335,000 chips and the shortest stack, Pavels Spirins in the hijack was facing Karl-Heinz Metz in the small blind.

Pavels Spirins: A♥A♣
Karl-Heinz Metz: A♠J♦

Spirins' aces were cracked by Metz, who hit trips on the turn. The river 6♦ didn't change anything, and Spirins was eliminated just a few minutes before the end of the day.

Glogar Doubles Through Chisu

OHairDJ

Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Alexander Glogar shoved for a bit over 500,000 from the hijack and was called by Danut Chisu to be put at risk.

Alexander Glogar: A♦K♠
Danut Chisu: A♣J♣

The Q♦9♠Q♣ kept Glogar in front, but the 7♣ turn gave Chisu additional outs to a flush.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the Q♠ river left Glogar best with his big-slick and he doubled up.

"It's always a sweat," Glogar said as he collected the pot.

Chisu was left with a bit over 100,000 following the hand and busted shortly after.

Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Hrayr Grigoryan: 9♣9♠
Michael Smith: A♣J♣

Smith flopped two pair on the 8♥8♠A♦6♣10♠ board, so he sent Grigoryan to the rail.

Eights Hold for Schneiders

Weiss

Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action is joined late with Konstantinos Stroulis all in on the button for his tournament life. Felix Schneiders calls in the small blind, with both players short on chips.

Konstantinos Stroulis: 5♣4♣
Felix Schneiders: 8♠8♥

The flop came 9♦2♠6♠, giving Stroulis a straight draw - needing a three to beat Schneiders pair.

An A♣ on the turn didn't help Stroulis as he faced exit from the tournament.

The J♣ river confirmed the hold for Schneiders, gaining some much-needed chips as the end of Day 2 crept up.

Tim Schmitt: Q♥Q♦

No bad beat happened as Schmitt's ladies solidly held on the A♥10♣7♠A♠6♠ runout, and he sent Kun on his way to the payout desk.

Lucky River for Chisu

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Everybody folded to Danut Chisu who shoved for 320,000 in the small blind. Bartlomiej Basiaga in the big blind looked at his cards and eventually called.

Danut Chisu: Q♣9♣
Bartlomiej Basiaga: K♠Q♥

Chisu found a straight draw on the J♦4♦8♦ flop but was still on the edge of elimination after the turn 3♥. Fortunately, luck was on his side as his straight was completed with the river 10♠.

Down to 55,000 chips, Basiaga was eliminated a few hands later.

Siden Tens Send Schulz to the Rail

Weiss

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Anton Siden opened to 40,000 from the button and after a little deliberation, Robert Schulz shoved all in in the big blind. Siden, who covered the German, made the call.

Robert Schulz: A♣5♦
Anton Siden: 10♣10♥

Schulz didn't hit his ace on the flop, with the board running Q♠J♣8♦.

The turn was a 7♠, meaning Siden needed to fade three outs to scoop an important pot.

He did, with the 8♥ landing on the river, which sent Schulz to the rail just before the break.
