OHairDJ

Niveau 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Emil Bise opened to 3,000 from early position and was three-bet to 9,500 by Symeon Alexandridis on the button. Action folded back to Bise, who called.

Bise checked on the 8♥K♣A♣ flop and Alexandridis bet 5,500. Bise quickly check-raised to 24,000 and Alexandridis called.

Bise shoved for approximately 50,000 on the 3♦ turn and Alexandridis called to put Bise at risk.

Emil Bise: 8♣5♠
Symeon Alexandridis: A♥8♠

Alexandridis caught Bise in an ambitious bluff with his two pair, and the Q♣ river came safe for Alexandridis — eliminating Bise from the tournament.

Calderone Can Not Fade a Jack

frankvisser

Niveau 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Eros Calderone had three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind over the open of Marko Kurtes, who had called, from early position, and a flop of 9♣3♦7♦ had been dealt for the players.

Calderone then bet another 11,500 on the 9♣3♦7♦ flop, and Kurtes made the call. The J♦ turn hit the felt and Calderone slowed down with a check, after which Kurtes put enough chips in the middle to cover Calderone's stack of 52,500. Calderone instantly called and the cards were tabled.

Eros Calderone: Q♠Q♣
Marko Kurtes J♠J♥

Calderone could only shake his head in disbelief as the 7♠ upgraded Kurtes' turned set to a full house. He swiftly exited the tournament area.

Niveau 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 7♥8♣A♦Q♣ and around 20,000 in the pot, Adrian Mateos bet 15,000 from the button and Anthony Stumbo called in the cutoff.

The river was the 8♠ and Stumbo moved all in for 78,000. "Are you bluffing again," Mateos asked him as he tanked for a few minutes.

Mateos eventually called and Stumbo turned over 10♣9♣ for a missed straight draw. Mateos showed A♣K♠ for two pair to take the pot and send Stumbo to the rail.

"Very nice call. Had to be a bluff. Had to be," tablemate Ramzi Zuraikat told Mateos.

Niveau 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Quan Zhou raised to 2,200 from under the gun and faced a three-bet to 7,000 from Nikola Minkov, which he called.

Zhou then also called Minkov's 7,000 continuation-bet on the 3♣6♣4♥ flop before both players checked on the 3♥ turn.

Zhou checked for a third time on the A♠ river, and Minkov took some time before assembling a bet of 16,000. Zhou quickly folded, however, and the pot was awarded to Minkov.

While this hand was happening, Wooram Cho was seen leaving the tournament area as all of his chips had been redistributed to other players.

Niveau 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Vlado Banicevic open-raised from the button before Quan Zhou put in a three-bet from the small blind. Banicevic then jammed his final 17,500 or so chips in the middle and Zhou immediately called.

Vlado Banicevic: K♥Q♦
Quan Zhou: 10♦10♣

Zhou would win the flip when no royalty appeared on the 6♠A♠9♠5♠8♥ runout, and Banicevic quickly headed towards the exit.

On another table, Shawn Stroke was also eliminated from the Main Event.

Amichai Barer opened to 2,300 from early position and was called by Jovan Kenjic in the big blind.

Kenjic checked to Barer on the K♣3♦2♠ flop and he continued for 2,000. Kenjic then raised to 5,000 and Barer went all in for his remaining short stack. Kenjic called to put Barer at risk and hands were revealed.

Amichai Barer: Q♣Q♦
Jovan Kenjic: 5♦4♠

Barer was ahead with his queens and remained ahead on the 8♣ turn; however, the A♦ river filled Kenjic's straight draw and Barer was eliminated late in the evening.

Niveau 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Suvarna turned over Q♠Q♣, but Rcheulishvili had 7♣7♦ for a flopped set that improved to a full house on the river. Suvarna was sent to the rail, while Rcheulishvili stacked up more than 500,000 after the massive pot was pushed to him.

Niveau 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Narcis Nedelcu and Fabian Schmidt were heads-up on a flop of 4♠4♦2♦ when Schmidt bet 6,500 from the cutoff. Nedelcu then moved all in and Schmidt tossed in his last 15,000.

Fabian Schmidt: Q♥Q♣
Narcis Nedelcu: 8♣4♣

Schmidt had found a hand to get his short-stack in the middle with, but Nedelcu had flopped trips and left him needing help to avoid elimination. The board ran out 9♦A♥ and Schmidt couldn't improve as he was sent to the rail.

Miscikowski Gets an Early Christmas Present

Calum_Grant

Niveau 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Christmas may be 44 days away, but David Miscikowski received an early gift to boost his Main Event stack.

Erguen Sertkan opened to 3,800 from middle position and was called by Miscikowski and Halil Coknez from the hijack and button.

Sertkan continued for 6,900 on the 4♣3♥2♥ flop and was called by both opponents.

Sertkan fired out another 6,000 on the 10♥ turn. This time, only Miscikowski called.

The 3♦ river saw Sertkan bet 12,600, leaving him with just over 25,000 behind. Miscikowski was the bigger stack and put his opponent all in. Sertkan snap-called for his tournament life.

Miscikowski had a full house with his 2♣2♠. Sertkan had ace-high with his A♠J♥ and appeared to have tilted away any hopes of the Main Event title..

Mateos Delivers Final Blow to Dingenen

frankvisser

Niveau 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Tom Dingenen was on his second and thus final bullet of the Main Event when he got his stack of 40,000 chips in on a board of K♣3♦Q♠J♠. Adrian Mateos looked him up and the cards were tabled.

Tom Dingenen: K♠3♠
Adrian Mateos: K♥Q♥

Both players had two pair, but Mateos had the higher one. Dingenen still had a flush draw he could hit, however, but failed to do so when the river came in the 4♥.

Dingenen left the tournament area for the last time as his Main Event adventure had reached its conclusion.
