Artur Rudziankov raised to 90,000 first to act, and Kirk Adams moved all in for what appeared to be 800,000 from one seat over. Once the action was back on Rudziankov, the Czech instantly called, and that was a bad sign for Adams.
Kirk Adams:
Artur Rudziankov:
Adams had cracked aces before to stay in contention, but this time, no miracle happened on a board of . Adams was eliminated in 11th place for $24,290, and the 10 remaining players combined to one table and moved to the secondary feature table.
Martin Kabrhel raised to 80,000 from under the gun, and Mario Prats three-bet to 205,000. Once all other players had folded and the action was back on Kabrhel, he started his usual table talk: "What are you doing, Mario. Do you want to bust?" Some further chat followed, and Kabrhel elected to call.
The flop came , and Kabrhel checked. Prats grabbed into his stack for a continuation bet, and Kabrhel said, "Much more, Mario. Make it easy for me," before the Spaniard placed his bet worth 250,000. Kabrhel moved all in, and Prats quickly called.
Mario Prats:
Martin Kabrhel:
The turn counterfit Kabrhel's two pair, and Prats doubled for 860,000 after the blank river.
Hand #1: Lee Watkinson raised to 130,000 and claimed the blinds and antes.
Hand #2: Artur Rudziankov made it 140,000 to go from the small blind and that won the pot.
Hand #3: Christian Rudolph raised to 90,000, and Martin Kabrhel was next to act. After more than a minute, Timothy Miles requested the clock on Kabrhel. "He is doing it every hand," Miles added, and Kabrhel had 30 seconds to act. After just a few seconds, Kabrhel moved all in and, all opponents, including Rudolph, folded.
Hand #4: Rudziankov's raise to 100,000 from the cutoff won the blinds and antes.
Hand #5: In the last hand before dinner, the action folded to Mario Prats on the button, and he asked both Lee Watkinson in the small blind and Scott Lychwick for their stack sizes before electing to fold.
Watkinson peeked at his cards and slid forward a stack of T25,000 chips for around 500,000 total. Lychwick moved all in for around that amount, and the cards were turned over.
Scott Lychwick:
Lee Watkinson:
There were gasps around the table by the players that had stuck around even before the flop fell . Watkinson hit two pair, while Lychwick was still alive with an open-ended straight draw. Neither the turn nor the river changed the outcome of the hand, and Lychwick was eliminated in ninth place for $31,187.
"I think I made the most stupid move in poker," Watkinson remarked while counting his chips and heading into dinner break.
Hand #6: Artur Rudziankov opened for 110,000, and John Esposito called from the big blind. The flop was . Esposito check-folded to a bet of 100,000 from Rudziankov.
