Grossman Bubbles After Taking on Mueller

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Lukasz Szymon Grossmann
Lukasz Szymon Grossmann

After three more all in-call situations where the short-stack doubled up, Jens-Florian Mueller opened to 25,000. It folded round to Lukasz Grossman in the big blind, who shoved the rest of his stack for 119,000. Mueller called with Grossman at risk.

Lukasz Grossman: A?9?
Jens-Florian Mueller: K?10?

The flop came 7?10?5?, putting Mueller into the lead.

A K? on the turn condemned the Pole to the rail.

The inconsequential 3? came on the turn, confirming Grossman as the bubble boy. Meanwhile, Mueller scooped another pot, ensuring he ended Day 1b with just shy of 800,000.

Stiefel Out as Mueller Storms On

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Boris Angelov opened under the gun to 18,000. He was called by Jens-Florian Mueller in the small blind before short-stack Benjamin Stiefel shoved all in. Both players called and it went three ways to a flop.

It came 3?K?9?. Mueller bet 30,000 and got called.

Both players checked on the 2? turn.

It was a similar story on the river, as the Q? hit and neither player opted to bet.

Benjamin Stiefel: A?6?
Jens-Florian Mueller: K?J?
Boris Angelov: Mucked

Mueller took it down with top pair, as Angelov mucked and Stiefel tabled ace-high. The German won a large pot to put himself among the chip leaders.

Kyiak Rivers Straight to Scoop Giant Pot

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action is joined with Hrayr Grigoryan all in on the button. Mario Trattou and Adrian Kyiak both just called - building a huge pot pre.

Both Trattou and Kyiak checked the 3?K?J? flop.

A 5? on the turn brought no further action.

Trattou then checked as the 10? completed the board, before Kyiak bet 65,000. After a little thinking, the Englishman threw his hand away, leaving Kyiak to showdown with the all-in Grigoryan.

Hrayr Grigoryan: A?7?
Adrian Kyiak: A?Q?

Kyiak rivered a straight, but even so, his Armenian opponent was behind the whole way. Grigoryan was out in 75th place, while Kyiak won an enormous pot as Day 2 loomed.
