frankvisser

Niveau 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Traian Stanciu open-raised to 255,000 from the button before Anthony Mahaut jammed all in from the big blind for 2,525,000 chips. Stanciu immediately called with the covering stack and the cards were tabeled.

Anthony Mahaut: J♠J♦
Traian Stanciu: A♠K♠

Stanciu's rail was screaming for an ace, but the K♦8♣5♥ flop brought his other pair instead, shooting him into the lead.

It was then Stanciu's rail's turn to root for a jack, but their yells were less effective as the board bricked out with a 7♣ turn and a 2♣ river.

Losing the flip meant that Mahaut was eliminated in fifth place while Stanciu ended up in a solid second place on the leaderboard.

Niveau 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Bogdan Tilica was automatically all-in from the big blind with his last 100,000 chips. Maurice Nass then limped in from the cutoff before Duc Tuan Tran raised to 550,000 from the small blind. Nass quickly let his hand go and the other two players showed down.

Bogdan Tilica: J♥4♥
Duc Tuan Tran: A♠Q♥

Tran flopped Tilica dead on 5♦Q♠Q♦, and he even filled up on the 7♥A♣ runout to put some salt in the wound.

Tilica left the table in sixth place and was the first player to receive a five-figure payout.

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

Duc Tuan Tran opened to 160,000 on the button before Theodoor Woolschot moved all in for 2,000,000 from the small blind. Tran took some time considering his decision, making the call and turning over his hand.

Theodoor Woolschot: 8♣8♦
Duc Tuan Tran: J♣J♦

Tran cheered as he saw his jacks in the lead, cheering once more when a set appeared in the window of the J♥2♦K♦ flop. The 6♠9♣ runout ended Woolschot's run with a seventh-place finish for €7,550.

Roland Israelashvili Eliminated in 8th Place (€5,750)

frankvisser

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

Roland Israelashvili open-jammed his 640,000 chips in the middle from middle position. The action then folded to Theodoor Woolschot in the cutoff, and he put in 160,000 chips, not having seen Israelashvili's action.

A ruling was made that since Woolschot verbally declared his raise, he was forced to make a min-raise. He followed the ruling and the other players got out of the way to create a heads up showdown.

Roland Israelashvili: J♦10♦
Theodoor Woolschot: A♠10♥

Neither player hit anything on the K♥8♣3♦Q♥7♠ board, meaning that Woolschot's ace-high eliminated Israelashvili in eight place.

Israelashvili made a deep run, but it turned out to be yet another final table without a win for the all-time leader in WSOP cashes.

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

Andrzej Jedryczka opened for 130,000 chips from early position and the action folded to Duc Tuan Tran in the big blind, who put in a reraise to 300,000.

Jedryczka pondered for a while before moving in for 1,680,000. Tran snap called with the bigger stack and the cards went on their backs.

Andrzej Jedryczka: 9♠9♦
Duc Tuan Tran: A♥A♦

Tran's friends gathered around the table to watch him hold on the 3♣3♠10♦8♠6♣ runout.

He eliminated Jedryczka in ninth place and became the chipleader in the process.

Pop Makes a Move

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

Anthony Mahaut opened to 120,000 in the hijack and found calls from Sefora Pop in the cutoff and Maurice Nass on the button. Roland Israelashvili then defended his big blind to the K♥5♣4♥ flop.

All four players checked the action through to the 5♥ turn, where Pop was the first to bet. Only Israelashvili called the bet of 200,000 and the two players saw the Q♥ river.

Israelashvili checked to Pop, who announced all in. Israelashvili mucked his cards, as Pop's stack continued to grow.

Andrei Spataru Eliminated in 10th Place (€3,500)

frankvisser

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

Anthony Mahaut and Andrei Spataru had gathered 350,000 chips in the middle during a blind-on-blind encounter. The board was dealt up until the turn and read J♥9♣A♣4♦ when Mahaut put Spataru all-in for his final 300,000 chips.

Spataru sighed but called it off relatively quickly, putting himself at risk of becoming the final table bubble.

Andrei Spataru: J♦5♦
Anthony Mahaut: K♦K♣

The 2♦ river did not improve Spataru's lower pair, and he finished in tenth.

The remaining nine players converged on one final table while Spataru left to pick up his cash.

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

On the first hand after the break, the action folded to Prakash Schiefermueller in the small blind. He jammed all in for 320,000 chips and Roland Israelashvili made an instantaneous call from the big blind with the covering stack.

Prakash Schiefermueller: A♠3♣
Roland Israelashvili: A♣K♥

Israelashvili immediately paired his king on the K♠7♥8♦ flop, and Schiefermueller did not hit a runner-runner miracle on the 4♦A♥ runout.

Schiefermueller finished in 11th place, meaning that the field has reached the final table bubble.

Niveau 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Michael Gehrmann had jammed once to preserve his short stack and then claimed the blinds and big blind ante with an open raise.

Soon after, Gehrmann raised to 85,000 in the hijack and Anthony Mahaut called on the button. The 10♦8♠2♣ flop brought with it a bet of Gehrmann for 110,000, which Mahaut called.

Gehrmann then jammed the 6♠ turn and Mahaut went into the tank, carefully studying his opponent. No words were spoken before Mahaut then called.

Michael Gehrmann: A♠4♠
Anthony Mahaut: A♣8♣

Gehrmann needed a spade to double but missed the 5♣ river, bowing out in 12th place for €2,800.

Emil Bise Eliminated in 13th Place (€2,800)

zedmaster84

Niveau 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Roland Israelashvili raised and Emil Bise defended the big blind to a flop of 9♦7♦5♣ which he checked. The initial raiser asked for Bise's stack size and then splashed in his five T-100,000 chips, Bise folded.

One hand later, Bise limped the small blind and Theodoor Woolschot checked from the big blind. Bise checked the J♠5♠4♦ flop with around 400,000 behind and called a bet of 75,000 by Woolschot.

After the 9♦ turn, Bise checked again and Woolschot declared "I am all-in".

Bise briefly checked his stack and then pushed it forward.

Emil Bise: K♠4♠
Theodoor Woolschot: J♦8♦

The Swiss had bottom pair with a flush draw while Woolschot was ahead with the top pair. A blank Q♣ river followed and denied Bise the chance at winning a third WSOPE bracelet.
