Vranken Can't Hit Any Outs

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Antoine Vranken
Antoine Vranken

The action folded to Antoine Vranken on the button who ripped all in for his last 120,000. Thomer Pidun was in the big blind and called to put Vranken at risk.

Antoine Vranken: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Thomer Pidun: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Vranken picked up an open-ended straight draw to go with his two live cards. Pidun blocked the straight outs which came in handy as the {6-Spades} and {8-Clubs} runout missed Vranken altogether.

Radicchi Joins the Early Casualties in the Money

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Andrea Radicchi
Andrea Radicchi

Manuel Fischer opened to 20,000 in the cutoff and was called by Tobias Peters in the small blind. Andrea Radicchi shoved all in for 132,000 from the big blind and Fischer called. Peters got out of the way and the cards were tabled.

Andrea Radicchi: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Manuel Fischer: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Fischer was in a dominating position and the flop of {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} left it that way. The {q-Clubs} on the turn provided some chop outs but the {j-Clubs} on the river paired Fischer and Radicchi was forced to the payout desk.

Felix Trau was absent from the table for the first two hours as his starting stack was blinding away. Trau managed to make it into the money as players all around were eliminated. However, coming back from the break, Trau finally showed up and is now in his seat with 135,000 chips.

Kubenka and Rehman Exit on the Bubble

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Saeed Rehman
Saeed Rehman

At one table, Petr Kubenka was seen getting up from his seat after running into the set of eights from Milos Petakovic. With the clock paused and one player away from the money, there was an all-in at Table 6.

The flop read {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Saeed Rehman was all in for around 150,000 from the big blind. He was called by Uri Gilboa on the button and they waited for the action to finish at all tables.

Rehman turned over {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for the nut straight while Gilboa held {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a flush draw. The turn brought the {5-Clubs} to give Gilboa a flush and the field erupted as Rehman was left drawing dead to the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

All remaining 35 players are now in the money with at least €5,029 locked up.

Boat Over Boat Cooler

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

A completed board of {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} was spread across the felt and Stefan Aerts led out with a bet of 35,000 from the small blind. Timo Kamphues raised to 155,000 and Aerts just quickly called, stating only two hands could beat him.

Kamphues turned over {a-Spades}{7-Spades} for a full house but it was no good as Aerts held {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for a bigger full house.

"I just call because maybe you have aces or sevens," Aerts explained after the hand. "I don't want to be the bubble boy."

Zazian Doubles with Kings

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

Daniel Schausberger and Alik Zazian got all of their chips in the middle preflop after just a couple of raises. It was Zazian at risk for 144,500 but he woke up with the goods.

Alik Zazian: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Daniel Schausberger: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The flop came {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Zazian still held a strong lead with his pocket kings. The {4-Clubs} on the turn and the {j-Hearts} on the river changed nothing as Zazian held on for a big double up.

Big Stacks Keep Climbing

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

Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 18,000 in the cutoff and Rachid El Yaacoubi called from the small blind. The flop came {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and El Yaacoubi check-called a bet of 12,000 from Tsouloftas.

The turn brought the {5-Spades} and both players checked to the {3-Hearts} on the river. El Yaacoubi led out with a bet of 26,000 and Tsouloftas laid his hand down.

At another table, Alessandro Pichierri raised to 18,000 from under the gun and Matteo Calzoni defended from the big blind. The flop fell {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Calzoni checked to Pichierri who continued for 16,000. Calzoni called and the {2-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Calzoni led out with a bet of 41,000 this time and Pichierri dumped his cards to the muck.
