Elul Chips Up Through Farber

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

With 2,300 in the middle, Konstantin Farber checked the {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop and then called a bet worth 700 by Ori Elul. The {k-Diamonds} on the turn was checked and the {3-Spades} fell on the river. Farber now bet 1,300 and Elul called to win the pot with {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, as Farber only had the {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a missed straight draw.

Rohm Wins Three-Way Pot

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Three players were fighting for a pot of about 3,800 on the turn. The board looked like {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

From under the gun, Holger Rohm led for 2,000. Cedric Schwaederle made the call on his left. On the button, Michal Mrakes folded his hand.

Two way to the river, it came an {a-Diamonds}. Rohm slowed with a check. Schwaederle bet about 15 percent pot with a bet of 1,100. Rohm called immediately.

Schwederle showed {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the missed combo draw, and Rohm showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for top pair on the river.

Bryksin Already down Heaps

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The floor was called over to table 16 as Ivan Bryksin had a question. He inquired how many times it is possible to participate in the event as he was down to around one third of the starting stack already. Only a single re-entry option was pointed out to him and he took a break from the table shortly after.

Earlier on, he had even jokingly suggested to go all-in blind so he could maybe late register before the restart of the €50,000 Super High Roller. "Sure, we can do that and if I lose, you give me €5,000 ... or €50,000 to play in the other event," Julien Sitbon replied.

While Sitbon didn't seem to have gotten any of Bryksin's chips, that is most likely the case for Valerii Kalynych as he leads the way on the table.

Simos Drills Turn and River

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Action began on the turn with two players fighting for about 2,000 in the pot. The board showed {q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

Michail Simos bet 1,800 from the button. Michael Bartov went for the check-call from the cutoff.

The river came the {4-Hearts} and Bartov checked again. Simos fired for 3,000, sending Bartov into the tank. After about two minutes, he made the call.

Simos showed {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, a gutshot on the flop, pair on the turn, and two pair on the river for the winner.

Finck Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Jerome Finck raised to 300 and was called by Nick Fu from one seat over. The {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop was checked by both before they invested 400 on the {6-Hearts} turn. Finck bet the {2-Spades} river for 2,500 and Fu folded.

After the hand, Saar Wilf complained that he has only seen cards below a ten so far to which Finck replied "the last cards were pretty good, no?"
