Nashar Bubbles the Warm Up

Niveau 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The bubble has burst before hand-for-hand play could even begin!

Everybody folded until the action got to Hassan Nashar in the small blind, who bumped it up to 90,000 from his stack of around 550,000. Konstantin Kvashin was in the big blind with a stack worth around double, and he shoved. Nashar, not one to shy away from risky situations, called for his tournament life.

Hassan Nashar: Q♦J♣ All in
Konstantin Kvashin: K♥Q♠

Kvashin was well ahead with a dominating hand and got a safe flop when the dealer fanned 7♣10♥2♠. There wasn't much for Nashar to work with and he didn't pick up any extra outs when the 4♦ landed on the turn, which meant he had to find a jack on the river to survive. No jack appeared as the 8♦ rolled off, which meant Nashar was the last person to leave empty-handed.

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

A crazy hand just played out on Table #9 with Danielle Noja giving us the lowdown on what happened preflop.

Noja had opened from under the gun and Farbod Nazari called from the next seat. The player on the button also called before Damien Gayer made it 205,000 from the small blind. Dmitrii Kopyl then shoved for 230,000 from the big blind, Noja folded, Nazari shoved for almost 800,000, the button folded, and Gayer went deep, deep into the tank. After thinking for some time, Gayer eventually elected to fold.

Dmitrii Kopyl: A♣A♠ All in
Farbod Nazari: K♣K♠

It was no surprise to see such premium hands after the preflop action, and the aces of Kopyl held on the 10♠8♠8♦6♥7♣ runout to earn him more than a triple-up!

Joueur	Jetons	Progression
Damien Gayer	900,000 20,000	20,000
Dmitrii Kopyl	800,000 590,000	590,000

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

Andrey Pateychuk has lost around half of his stack since the day began after just tangling in a pot with Damir Gabdullin.

Pateychuk opened from middle position to 40,000 and Gabdullin three-bet from the small blind to 90,000. When it got back to Pateychuk, he called.

They went to a flop of K♥J♦7♠ where both checked to the 2♥ turn. Gabdullin led out for 35,000, and Pateychuk called.

A 6♠ hit the river and both players took their time to knuckle to showdown, where Gabdullin showed A♦7♣ for a pair of sevens to claim the pot.

Joueur	Jetons	Progression
Damir Gabdullin	750,000 90,000	90,000
Andrey Pateychuk	180,000 185,000	185,000

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

It was a short Day 3 for Viktor Aleksandrov, who was eliminated by Kyosuke Nagami in one of the opening hands.

Aleksandrov had committed his stack of 250,000 into the pot from late position and Nagami put his opponent at risk.

Viktor Aleksandrov: A♣J♣ All in
Kyosuke Nagami: Q♦Q♠

Sets of queens seem to be trending so far today as the Q♥5♥6♦ flop gave Nagami a huge lead in the hand and left Aleksandrov needing running cards to survive. No such miracle occurred, though, as the 6♥ turn gave Nagami an unbeatable full house. Alexsandrov was already on his feet when he watched the K♣ land on the river, and he made his way to the exit.

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

Cedric Schwaederle started the day off as the shortest stack with only 70,000, but found an early double that gave him a glimmer of hope at running up a stack.

Schwaederle shoved from middle position and Jenya Gavrilovich looked down at his cards from the big blind and flicked in the call.

Cedric Schwaederle: Q♥Q♠ All in
Jenya Gavrilovich: J♦9♣

Schwaederle was a big favorite and despite flopping a set, he wasn't out of the woods yet on the 4♣10♦Q♦ flop as Gavrilovich flopped a straight draw. The turn gave Schwaederle more outs to dodge as the A♦ gave Gavrilovich a flush draw, but the 2♥ bricked off, earning Schwaederle the pot.

Joueur	Jetons	Progression
Jenya Gavrilovich	600,000 100,000	100,000
Cedric Schwaederle	170,000 100,000	100,000
