Garagnani Clips Vogelsang

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Tom Vogelsang shipped all in for 206,000 in early position and Pedro Garagnani asked for a count from the big blind before making the call.

Tom Vogelsang: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Pedro Garagnani: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Garagnani grabbed a stranglehold on the hand with top pair and the best flush draw. The {5-Hearts} and {2-Spades} runout was no help to Vogelsang who was sent to the rail.

At an adjacent table, Gilmar Lima ran into the pocket kings of Felipe Ketzer and a king-high board gave no hope to Lima as well.

Short Stack Double for Navarro

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Pablo Navarro raised to 110,000 and kept 2,000 chips behind. It folded to Kayhan Mokri from two seats over and he reraised to 475,000, forcing out all players behind to go for yet another bounty prize.

Pablo Navarro: {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Kayhan Mokri: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

It was a classic flip and Navarro got there on the turn of a {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades} board.

"You see how bad I run?" the current chip leader and master bounty hunter exclaimed, who has already redeemed two €25,000 bounty prizes.

"Adios Amigo" - Ketzer Culled by Lin

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Felipe Ketzer
Felipe Ketzer

It folded all the way to Felipe Ketzer in the small blind and he pushed all-in, then instantly vaulted out of his chair and was ready to leave. Ren Lin glanced at his cards and called, exclaiming "adios amigo" in table chat.

Ketzer suggested to reveal one card after the other, which both did with a grin on the face.

Felipe Ketzer: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Ren Lin: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Lin had one of his "Lady Gaga" cards once again and remained ahead on the {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, though, Ketzer picked up a gutshot. The Brazilian asked for a four but his wish wasn't granted with the {10-Diamonds} turn and {a-Clubs} river.

Volkmann Goes Down and Back Up

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Bruno Volkmann raised to 40,000 in middle position and was called by Pablo Navarro in the small blind. The flop came {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} and Volkmann continued with a bet of 25,000. Navarro check-raised to 85,000 and Volkmann jammed all in. Navarro quickly called off his stack of 185,000 and the cards were on their backs.

Pablo Navarro: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Bruno Volkmann: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Navarro flopped a combo draw and the {10-Hearts} on the turn made his straight to leave Volkmann drawing dead to the {3-Diamonds} on the river.

A couple of hands later, Andre Marques raised to 40,000 on the button and Volkmann three-bet to 140,000 from the big blind. Marques snap-called and tabled {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} against the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} of Volkmann.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Volkmann made a full house to double back up.

Hissou Back in Business

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Sirzat Hissou

Julien Sitbon raised to 40,000 and Tom Orpaz called. On the button, Erik Seidel pushed all-in and Sirzat Hissou called all-in. When it was back on Sitbon, he instantly inquired "can I have those counts, please?".

Hissou was all-in for 75,000 while Seidel's shove was for 370,000. Sitbon folded and Orpaz also let go, exposing an ace.

Sirzat Hissou: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}
Erik Seidel: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Hissou a pair and flush draw. No upset followed thereafter with the {j-Diamonds} turn and {7-Clubs} river as Hissou leaped back into contention.

Kuznetsov Busts Chaoui; Draws Large Bounty

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui
Mehdi Chaoui

Bruno Volkmann raised to 50,000 on the button and Mehdi Chaoui let his shot clock run down to five seconds before he pushed all-in for 230,000 out of the small blind. Nikita Kuznetsov in the big blind went over the top and Volkmann released his cards into the muck.

Mehdi Chaoui: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Nikita Kuznetsov: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop was of not much help but the {9-Clubs} turn provided a mandatory sweat for Chaoui. However, the {4-Hearts} river came a blank and the young Frenchman departed. Kuznetsov went on to redeem his bounty shortly after and picked the envelope with the largest prize left in contention: €50,000.

"Sorry guys," he said with a grin on the face after revealing the prize to all remaining opponents.
