Tajiou Takes it on the River

Tboss

Niveau 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Mounir Tajiou opened 6,000 on the button, and both Nozomu Shimizu and Sirzat Hissou came along in the blinds.

All three players checked to the 6♣4♠3♦7♥ turn, where Shimizu checked once more and Hissou fired 10,000. Tajiou called, while Shimizu folded.

The 10♣ landed on the river, and Hissou checked. Tajiou went into the tank, using two time chips before betting 50,000. Hissou paused for a few seconds and pitched it into the muck.

"Did you have a good hand?" Asked Hissou.

"I can't remember," Tajiou responded, "I have a fish brain."

Daubaris Busts Zarghami with Top Two

Weiss

Niveau 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Emad Zarghami opened from early position to 5,500 and got called by Deividas Daubaris in the small blind.

After it checked to him, Zarghami led out for 5,000 on the 5♣A♠4♥ flop and got called.

A J♥ hit the turn, and the Lithuanian checked it again to Zarghami, who made it 12,500. Daubaris raised to 28,000, but Zarghami made the call.

The 2♠ completed the board and Daubaris shoved all in, having his opponent covered. The Australian used up four time banks while deciding whether or not to call for his tournament life - with around 100,000 chips left. He eventually did call and saw the bad news, with Daubaris' A♦J♦ beating his A♥Q♣.

frankvisser

Niveau 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Deividas Daubaris raised to 5,500 from the button and Andras Nemeth defended his big blind. The 8♠6♥3♠ flop was then checked by Nemeth, after which Daubaris continued for 15,500. Nemeth made the call, and the 7♥ turn rolled off.

Daubaris fired 38,000 more after another check from Nemeth, and the latter called again. The 3♣ river graced the felt and Nemeth checked for a third time.

Daubaris opted for a bet of 85,000 chips, but this time Nemeth did not put in a call. Instead, he raised to 250,000. A long tank followed from Daubaris, sliding his time bank extensions forwards one by one.

Eventually, he tossed in one chip for a call.

"Straight," announced Nemeth as he tabled his 9♠5♦. Daubaris' cards quickly hit the muck, as his stack was diminished by a great amount. Meanwhile, Nemeth took a big lead over the rest of the field, sitting on more than 600,000 chips.

Nemeth Scores Some More Chips by Eliminating Boika

frankvisser

Niveau 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a flop of 7♠3♣9♠, Aliaksei Boika's stack of 40,000 went into the middle, being looked up by Andras Nemeth.

Aliaksei Boika: K♠Q♠
Andras Nemeth: A♠A♣

Nemeth was sitting on the rockets, while Boika still had outs with his flush draw. However, the 4♦2♣ runout did not bring a spade on the felt, resulting in Boika's exit.

Meanwhile, Jean-Vincent Lehut paid a late-night visit to the tournament with a fresh stack of 100,000 chips.
