Cimbolas Doubles "pokerfrank"

Level 5 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

"pokerfrank" opened for 24,000 from middle position and was called by Aneris "TaiwanNumba1" Adomkevicius from the button and Matas Cimbolas from the big blind.

Cimbolas checked the {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop and "pokerfrank" bet 45,000. Adomkevicius folded and Cimbolas called. Cimbolas then check-called a bet of 90,000 after the {a-Diamonds} turn and check-called a jam of 152,612 after the {5-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Cimbolas turned over {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for top pair but he doubled up his opponent with "pokerfrank" holding {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for top two pair.

Salas didn't improve on the {2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} board and the rest was history.

Players in the Money

Level 4 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

The remaining players are now in the money for at least a €1,368 min-cash.

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The action is now hand-for-hand with 706 players remaining and 700 players slated to receive at least a min-cash of €1,368.

Ferreira Ousts Barer

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Alex Greenblatt min-raised from the hijack before Ami Barer jammed for 241,161 from the cutoff. Joao "Wim Hof" Ferreira cold-called from the button and Greenblatt folded.

Ami Barer: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Joao "Wim Hof" Ferreira: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Barer's sevens proved to be no good against his opponent's cowboys after the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Spades} ran out on the board and he was eliminated about a dozen spots away from the money.
