Pavel Plesuv Eliminated in 6th Place (€78,035)

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv
Pavel Plesuv

Pavel Plesuv raised it up to 125,000 in the hijack and Jun Obara re-raised to 200,000 on his left. The action came back to Plesuv who stuck in the last of his 220,000 chips and Obara called.

Jun Obara: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Pavel Plesuv: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

The flop of {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Clubs} put Obara in a dominant lead, leaving Plesuv with just one out. The {a-Hearts} on the turn nor the {k-Diamonds} on the river was good enough to save Plesuv who exited in sixth place.

Check-Raise from Obara

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jorryt van Hoof raised it up on the button and Jun Obara called from the big blind. The flop came {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Obara checked to van Hoof who continued for 40,000. Obara called and the {5-Spades} landed on the turn.

Obara checked again and van Hoof dropped in a bet of 100,000. Obara used up a time extension before pushing in a raise to 250,000. Van Hoof thought for a moment but sent his cards into the muck.

Margereson Bubbles the €25,000 Single-Day High Roller

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Scott Margereson
Scott Margereson

The action folded to Scott Margereson on the button who was the shortest stack at the table. He shoved all in for 120,000 and Timothy Adams re-shoved all in from the small blind. The cards were tabled and it was a coin flip.

Timothy Adams: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Scott Margereson: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to give Margereson a straight draw to go with his two overcards but Adams still held the lead. The {6-Spades} on the turn and the {8-Spades} on the river bricked out and Margereson was eliminated on the money bubble.

Mihai Manole

Mihai Manole was the first player awarded a Platinum Pass, back in 2017 when the PokerStars Players No-Limit Hold'em Championship was first announced. He's back in action in the Czech capital in 2019, and he's looking to walk away with another Pass for 2020.

Read a feature on Manole's efforts plus his reflection on the odd circumstances around his first win, here on PokerNews.
