Niveau 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Martynas Brazdžionis opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and Sokratis Linaras three-bet to 1,000,000 from the cutoff. Marius Gicovanu moved all in from the small blind for 3,900,000 and Brazdžionis re-shoved for approximately 5,500,000. Linaras got out of the way leaving Gicovanu all in and at risk.

Marius Gicovanu: 10♣10♥
Martynas Brazdžionis: A♦K♥

The board ran out 4♣Q♦3♠3♣Q♠. Gicovanu's pocket-tens held and he collected a gargantuan pot while making a serious dent in the stack of Brazdžionis.

An exasperated Linaras told his tablemates after the hand that he had folded pocket-jacks which would have been good for a pot worth over 12,000,000 had he called.

Niveau 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Juan Lamprea opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and Omar Eljach moved all in from the small blind for 4,350,000. Lamprea, who had slightly under 4,000,000, considered his options for a couple minutes before Eljach called the clock. As soon as the clock was called Lamprea immediately called, putting himself at risk.

Juan Lamprea: A♦K♣
Omar Eljach: A♣10♦

Lamprea was in excellent shape to collect a massive double up and remained ahead on the A♠Q♠9♠ flop. The J♣ turn brought Eljach some more outs in the form of an open-ended straight draw, which came in on the 8♣ river. Lamprea was sent to the rail while Eljach collected a colossal double up.

"Cooler" a player at the table commented.

"Semi-Cooler" Eljach joked as he scooped the pot.

Niveau 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Jamel Ghizaoui had previously chipped up significantly and added even further chips to take over the lead on the final four tables.

Guy Goossens jammed from under the gun for around 1,250,000 and Ghizaoui piled in his tower of T-500,000 chips on the button. Javier Francort called all-in out of the big blind for around 4.1 million and a three-way showdown emerged.

Guy Goossens: A♣9♦
Javier Francort: A♥K♥
Jamel Ghizaoui: A♠Q♥

The 8♣7♠3♥ flop and 2♥ turn brought Francort on the verge of a large double, but the cruel Q♠ river gave Ghizaoui the best hand and lock up a double elimination.

Niveau 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Just before the blinds went up, Zlatin Penev limped in the cutoff and Levan Rcheulishvili raised to 460,000 in the small blind. Lazare Kalebashvili called in the big blind and Penev then moved all-in for 2,680,000 and Rcheulishvili went deep into the tank.

As the clock was called on him, Rcheulishvili called at the very last second of his 30 second countdown and Kalebashvili shook his head to a fold a few seconds later.

Zlatin Penev: A♣A♥
Levan Rcheulishvili: A♠Q♦

The aces were not cracked on the Q♣6♥3♣8♦9♥ runout and Penev more than doubled.

Martinovic Runs Into Aces

zedmaster84

Niveau 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The cards of Dragoljub Martinovic were just mucked when his stack was sent over to chip leader Artiom Poddubnii.

According to Marius Gicovanu, Poddubnii had raised and received one caller before Martinovic jammed with ace-king. It was an unfortunate timing as Poddubnii held the A♣A♠ and had little to fear on a 9♦3♥2♣6♣J♦ runout.

Heinz Traut also fell shortly after as the early carnage already caused one dozen casualties.
