Niveau 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

All the chips went into the middle preflop when Timo Kamphues moved all in from the big blind for 400,000 and was called by Zlatin Penev in the hijack.

Timo Kamphues: Q♠Q♣
Zlatin Penev: K♦K♥

Penev was in the lead and after the flop of K♣Q♦6♥ both players made a set. Kamphues could not find his one-outer though as the 7♥5♦ completed the board to move Penev towards the top of the chip rankings, while Kamphues headed for the exit.

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.

Rollercoaster Two Hands for Wilke

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

In a blind on blind confrontation, Robert Burlacu bet 70,000 from the small blind leaving only 4,000 behind. Dennis Wilke in the big blind made the call.

A monotone flop of 9♣7♣2♣ saw Wilke bet 4,000 to put Burlacu at risk. Burlacu waited out as long as he could to try to ladder a pay jump before he was forced to call.

Robert Burlacu: Q♦2♦
Dennis Wilke: J♠J♥

Wilke dominated and after the 5♦ turn Burcalu only had three outs. He tossed his queen next to the river slot and the dealer duly obliged by tabling the Q♥ to complete the board and gave Barcalu top pair. Wilke jokingly shouted "How dare you!" at the dealer for dishing out a bad beat.

The very next hand Wilke was in another blind on blind all in situation with Aaron Duczack in the big blind. The Canadian was art risk for 160,000.

Aaron Duczak: A♠J♣
Dennis Wilke: K♣10♠

Duczak was ahead preflop but a king on the flop on the completed board of K♠Q♠3♦8♠5♣ spelt curtains for the Canadian who headed to the paycage.

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.

Butnoras Gets Revenge on Peluso

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

There was an all-in and a call preflop with Deividas Butnoras at risk against an old foe in Fabio Peluso. The Italian barely covered the Lithuanian.

Deividas Butnoras: A♣Q♥
Fabio Peluso: A♦9♥

Peluso was behind and virtually drawing dead after a lady in the window on the board of Q♦10♠5♥5♠8♣ gave Butnoras two pair and ensured a double up leaving Peluso with less than ten big blinds.

Cohen Eliminated by Shahni

zedmaster84

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

Ali Shahni raised to 16,000 and Dragoljub Martinovic called on the button. Yehuda Cohen then jammed out of the big blind for 58,000 and Shahni called, Martinovic folded.

Yehuda Cohen: A♠10♠
Ali Shahni: K♥Q♦

Cohen wished for an ace on the flop but instead, it came K♣K♠10♥ as the massage parlour owner gasped an "what the fuck is this shit?!" The 7♠ turn gave Cohen a flush draw but the 10♦ river only improved Shahni to the superior full house.

Munteanu is the Stone Bubble of the 6-Max

Niveau 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Andrea Dato bet 12,000 from the cutoff and Bogdan Munteanu moved all in from the big blind for 43,000 which was called by the Italian.

Bogdan Munteanu: A♣J♥
Andrea Dato: A♥6♦

While the players were waiting for the floor to come over for the showdown, Munteanu's friend on the other table shouted "Do you hate money?" as a player on the table only had one big blind remaining.

It was a terrible flop for Munteanu as Dato hit a six on the completed board of Q♠6♠2♣8♦8♣ for two pair. Munteanu headed to the exit as the bubble boy.

Pazma Falls Close to the Bubble

Niveau 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Lukas Pazma bet 50,000 from the button only leaving 10,000 behind. Adem Marjanovic made the call from the small blind.

The flop came 8♠7♣3♣, and Marjanovic bet 10,000 to put Pazma at risk. Pazma waited until the clock was called on him and put his chips into the middle.

Before the floor asked the players to turn their cards over, Pazma kissed his hand for luck. Marjanovic said "I will make a counter-kiss!" and kissed his own hand.

Lukas Pazma: A♣J♥
Adem Marjanovic: 10♣10♠

Pazma was behind but had two over cards. He gained additional flush and gutshot outs on the 9♣ turn, but the 9♦ ended his tournament and it sent to the rail two places before the money.
