Missed Opportunities and a Bust Out

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Vladas Tamasauskas
Vladas Tamasauskas

Perica Maric started the action with a raise to 2,200, only to face an all-in from Vladas Tamasauskas for 7,600 right next to him. Daniel Sulz then entered the fray by calling the all-in, which brought the action back to Maric. In a bold move, he four-bet to 23,200. However, Sulz responded by shoving all-in for over 150,000, leaving Maric to contemplate his next move. After a moment of hesitation, Maric reluctantly folded his pocket queens, clearly frustrated by how things unfolded.

Vladas Tamasauskas: 9?9?
Daniel Sulz: K?K?

The board came down A?10?2?J?K?, giving Sulz a winning pair and sending Tamasauskas to the rail.

Maric, on the other hand, was left feeling frustrated about the chance he let slip away.

Dmytro Stetsiura
Dmytro Stetsiura

Alf Martinsson raised to 1,800 under the gun before Stoyan Madanzhiev three-bet to 5,500 in early position. Dmytro Stetsiura then four-bet to 11,500. Martinsson got out of the way, but Madanzhiev moved all in for around 70,000 and Stetsiura snap-called.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: K?K? All in
Dmytro Stetsiura: A?A?

Madanzhiev had run his kings right into Stetsiura's aces and the 2020 Online Main Event champion received no help on the Q?J?J?Q?8? as he was sent to the rail.

"Felt like it," Madanzhiev said.

Martin Zamani
Martin Zamani

With three players seeing a board of 10?6?7?J? and around 6,000 in the middle, Lorenzo Arduini bet 5,000 from the small blind and received a call from Samuel Ju in the big blind before Martin Zamani raised to 35,000 from the button. Arduini quickly got out of the way while Ju made the call.

On the K? river Ju checked and Zamani moved all in. Ju, who had around 160,000 behind and was slightly covered, went into the tank.

A few minutes went by before Ju mucked his hand and Zamani earned a sizable pot without showdown.

Gigolashvili's Turned Full House Crushes Lehmann's Nut Flush

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With around 35,000 chips in the pot on a board of 10?J?5?5?, Denis Lehmann had fired 10,000, Dinesh Alt folded, and Vladimer Gigolashvili called.

A 6? dropped on the river and Lehmann put out another bet of 25,000, which sent Gigolashvili into the tank. Gigolashvili was thinking for so long that Lehmann called the clock, and as soon as he did, Gigolashvili shoved. Lehmann had around 50,000 remaining in his stack and snap-called.

Gigolashvili flipped J?J? for a full house, and Lehmann revealed A?Q? for the nut flush, then made his way to the exit.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Alexandre Vuilleumier
Alexandre Vuilleumier

Radek Honl made it 1,200 from the cutoff and Alexey Mishuk called on the button. Vito Vella came along from the small blind before Alexandre Vuilleumier three-bet the big blind to 7,500. Honl called, Mishuk folded, and Vella called.

On the flop of 8?5?5?, Vella checked and Vuilleumier made a continuation-bet of 6,000. Honl and Vella both called.

All three checked the 4? turn to the Q? river where Vella checked and Vuilleumier shoved for 74,300. Honl quickly folded, and Vella went into the tank. Vella had around 140,000 remainnig in his stack so could definitely afford it, and after a while of trying to piece together the puzzle, he elected to call.

Vuilleumier showed K?9? for just king-high, and Vella flipped 10?10? for a pair of tens to scoop the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Metodi Peychev
Metodi Peychev

Felix Neubauer limped in from early position, and Metodi Peychev raised 1,500 in the hijack. Jiri Kotvas on the button, along with Nils Pudel in the big blind and Neubauer, all decided to call.

The flop came down 7?10?Q?, and the action was checked around to Peychev, who bet 3,000. Kotvas, however, had other ideas and raised to 6,500, forcing Pudel and Neubauer to fold. Not backing down, Peychev made it 16,000, and Kotvas called.

On the 3? turn, Peychev fired a hefty bet of 30,000, which Kotvas called again.

Both players checked the J? river, and Peychev showed Q?Q? for a set of queens, taking down a massive pot after Kotvas mucked his cards.
