Day 1 Chip Leader Hodaj Crashes Out Due to Kraft Work

Niveau 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Florian Kraft bet 25,000 from the hijack and was met with a huge all-in from Besmir Hodaj on the button for 380,000. Kraft made the call to put the over night chip leader at risk.

Besmir Hodaj: A♠J♠
Florian Kraft: K♠K♣

Kraft was the favorite to win the hand and the runout of Q♥8♥3♦6♦Q♣ provided no help for the Italian to send him crashing out of the tournament. Kraft is now amongst the chip leaders.

Niveau 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Another three players were eliminated including Andrea Dato, Sascha Minerva, as well as Maksim Vaskresenski. The latter was flipped out by Frederik Thiemer when 7♦7♠ could not hold up against A♥K♥ on a board of K♣4♦4♠Q♦10♣.

Jorge Ufano also ended up at risk but had the best of it with A♣A♥, as Joao Tomas only revealed the 10♥10♦ in one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.

There was no upset on the J♦6♦3♥6♥2♠ runout for Ufano to double.

Koleckar Puts Hodaj to the Test - Mao Takes Out Martinovic

Niveau 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There were 230,000 in the middle on the completed board of 10♦6♠4♦Q♠5♥, and Jakub Koleckar moved all in for 252,000 from the big blind.

Hodaj went deep into the tank. If he made the wrong call he would have been severely short-stacked. In the end the overnight chip leader folded.

Whilst the Italian was deep into the tank Dragoljub Martinovic was all in against Renji Mao. Mao's pocket queens held against Martinovic's pocket tens and the Serbian headed to the exit.

Wilke Bad Beats Gehrmann

zedmaster84

Niveau 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dennis Wilke raised to 20,000 and Michael Gehrmann three-bet to 95,000 in the big blind with about as much behind. That brought the four-bet of Wilke for more than 250,000 and Gehrmann instantly tossed his cards face-up to the middle.

"That's a fold?" Wilke grinned as he was shown the A♠Q♦. Gehrmann had, however, called all-in and was ahead versus Wilke's A♥J♥.

The 9♣8♦3♥10♦7♣ board delivered a jack-high straight and Gehrmann snapped a picture of the bad beat with his smart phone before leaving.

Niveau 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Toni Ravnak three-bet jammed with the A♣10♦ only to get snapped off by Ramo Balic with the A♦A♥. There was no upset on the J♠6♥4♠6♣4♥ board and Ravnak was sent to the payout desk.

Several other contestants followed including Ruslan Volkov, who saw his ace-king outflopped by the K♠8♦ of Renji Mao in the big blind.

Niveau 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a completed board of Q♣10♥7♥5♠K♦, Joao Tomas pushed all-in and Dan Maricuta eventually called it off.

Tomas revealed his J♦9♦ for the second nuts and Maricuta mucked his cards. According to the all-in showdown rule, the K♥5♥ of the Romanian were exposed before he headed to the payout desk.

Peluso Eliminated by Gehrmann

zedmaster84

Niveau 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Gehrmann jammed into Fabio Peluso and the Italian called it off, having previously seen his stack decimated to fewer than ten big blinds.

Fabio Peluso: J♥10♣
Michael Gehrmann: A♥2♦

The K♦7♦3♠9♥K♥ board missed both players and ace-high was good to eliminate Peluso.

Niveau 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Soon after his double-up, Andrej Desset was spotted on his way to the payout desk. He was joined there by Jannis Bode, who failed to run up a short stack.

Bode's final hand saw his J♠J♥ dominated by the Q♥Q♠ of Joao Tomas, as no help came on the 8♣6♣2♦3♥7♦ runout.

Dahan Eliminated by Covrig

Niveau 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Refael Dahan was all-in and at risk for what appeared to be around 130,000 preflop and his pocket pair was dominated by Sergiu Covrig.

Refael Dahan: 8♠8♣
Sergiu Covrig: J♥J♣

It was almost all over on the J♠10♥2♠ flop as Dahan needed running cards to stay alive. The 4♣ turn sealed his fate and the 5♦ river was a mere formality.

Turchi Stays in Contention

zedmaster84

Niveau 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Bernhard Güntner had just been eliminated over on table 139 and the next clash of two short stacks on the same table followed right after.

Virgile Turchi was all-in for the last 30,000 with the K♦6♣ and Jannis Bode looked him up holding the A♣7♦.

Both hit their weaker kicker on the 7♠6♥2♣ flop but the K♣ turn pulled Turchi ahead. Nothing then changed with the 2♠ river and Turchi doubled.

Virgile Turchi	70,000 -60,000	-60,000
