jnoy

Niveau 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Schayan Schakeri opened from under the gun to 130,000 and the action folded around to Frank Leykauf on the button. Leykauf three-bet to 260,000 before Maciej Kondraszuk moved all in for 690,000 in the big blind.

Schakeri took some time before making the fold, while Leykauf called and the hands were revealed.

Maciej Kondraszuk: A♥K♦
Frank Leykauf: A♣Q♣

The flop of 7♠J♣9♦ was clean for Kondraszuk, but the Q♥ turn left Leykauf in front. The 6♦ river completed the board, as Kondraszuk wished the table good luck on his way to the payout desk.

Positano Loses Flip

Niveau 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Giuseppe Positano moved all in and was called by Stefan Drusca to his immediate left. The rest of the table folded, leaving Positano at risk.

Giuseppe Positano: A♦Q♦
Stefan Drusca: 10♣10♥

The classic flip turned sharply in Drusca's favor after hitting a set on the 6♣3♣10♦ set. The K♥ turn brought Positano a straight draw, but the 2♣ river was a brick to end his deep run.

Niveau 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Three players bowed out in quick succession and two of them lost their remaining chips on the same table. Jacek Kaczmarek was the first to vanish followed by Christian Bernau.

It was Bernau who jammed for 415,000 and Zlatin Penev called. Claudiu Descultu then jammed over the top and isolated.

Christian Bernau: A♠8♣
Claudiu Descultu: J♠J♣

No ace appeared on the Q♠2♠2♣Q♦3♠ runout as the field dropped to 44 hopefuls.

Schakeri and Penev Knock Out Pop

zedmaster84

Niveau 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Cornel-Gabriel Pop was in the big blind with a severe short stack and big blind ante invested. He faced a raise to 100,000 by Schayan Schakeri and a three-bet to 250,000 by Zlatin Penev, after which he called all-in for 175,000 and Schakeri came along.

On the A♣7♠7♥ flop, Schakeri check-called for 65,000 and did so again for 250,000 on the 2♣ turn. The A♥ river was checked as Schakeri was shown the A♠Q♠ by his table neighbour. Schakeri had a dry smile on the face as his A♦7♦ had flopped a full house only to settle for a chop.

In the meanwhile, Pop's tournament ended as he stood no chance with the J♣9♦.

Kaya Eliminated by Bise

zedmaster84

Niveau 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Cemil Kaya raised to 75,000 off a stack of around half a million and Emil Bise then pushed all-in with the covering stack. That sent Kaya into the tank and he eventually called it off.

Once Bise rolled over the A♣9♥, Kaya sighed and exposed the dominated A♦6♦.

The kicker played on the 7♠7♣5♣3♣2♦ runout as Kaya failed to improve, sending Bise'e stack to seven figures.

Niveau 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alexandru Farcasanu moved all in from under the gun for 285,000 and was quickly at risk when Andras Balogh also moved all in to his left. The rest of the table folded leaving the hand heads up.

Alexandru Farcasanu: 9♣9♦
Andras Balogh: A♠Q♦

Farcasanu's pocket pair was in front, but the K♦6♦5♦ flop brought Balogh a flush draw. The 4♠ turn was safe before the 4♦ river completed the ace-high flush for Balogh, ending Farcasanu's tournament run.

Riadh Ben Farhat: J♦9♠
Damien Duquellenec: K♠K♦

Ben Farhat was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar and there was no upset in the cards. The A♠4♠3♥3♣Q♣ board provided no help to Lipauka either and Duquellenec scored a double knockout.
