Suliman Flips for a Double

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After a couple of preflop raises, Or Suliman and Giedrius Breive got all of their chips in the middle with Suliman at risk for 178,000. The cards were face up and the two players were off to the races.

Or Suliman: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Giedrius Breive: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The flop of {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} left Suliman in the lead with his pair of jacks. The {4-Spades} and {8-Spades} runout changed nothing and Suliman scored a healthy double-up.

Kim and Niederreiter Chop Up Bithell's Bounty

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Oliver Bithell was forced all in from the big blind so Fabian Niederreiter made it 50,000 from under the gun and picked up a call from Namhyung Kim on the button.

Niederreiter jammed as the big stack on the {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop and Kim called.

Oliver Bithell: {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Namhyung Kim: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}
Fabian Niederreiter: {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Neiderreiter and Kim both had a pair of sevens but the former had a superior kicker. However, the board ranout with the {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, which resulted in a chopped pot between Kim and Niederreiter.

Armougom Falls Short on the Bubble

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jimmy Armougom
Jimmy Armougom

The action folded to Gerard Cortes in the hijack who shoved all in as the big stack. Jimmy Armougom was forced all in for 6,000 in the big blind and the cards were tabled.

Jimmy Armougom: {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Gerard Cortes: {k-Spades}{8-Spades}

Armougom was happy with two live cards but the flop of {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades} left him drawing slim after Cortes hit a pair of kings. The {j-Diamonds} on the turn provided some chop outs but the {8-Diamonds} on the river sent Armougom to the rail on the money bubble. The rest of the field has now guaranteed themselves a min-cash of at least €3,100.

Liperis Pressures Angelov on the Bubble

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Boris Angelov raised to 13,000 in the cutoff and Yiannis Liperis called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Angelov check-called a bet of 22,000 from Liperis.

The {j-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn and Angelov checked again. Liperis sized up a bet of 46,000 this time and Angelov still called. The {3-Clubs} completed the board and Angelov checked for the third time. Liperis announced all in which sent Angelov into the tank for a couple of minutes before he gave up his hand.

Schwecht Doubles on the Bubble

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action was caught on the board of {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} with around 48,000 chips in the middle. Big blind Tobias Schwecht checked to Sunho Yoo on the hijack, who put out a bet of 27,000. Schwecht called the bet and the two saw the {a-Clubs} river appear.

Schwecht led for 17,000 and Yoo decided to put maximum pressure on the bubble by going all in, covering Schwecht's 133,000 chips.

Schwecht called and after waiting for the other tables to finish their hands, their cards were shown down.

Tobias Schwecht: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Sungho Yoo: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Yoo picked a bad time to bluff Schwecht, who was sitting cozily with the king-high flush. Schwecht doubled up, and the bubble continues.

Simon Mattsson
Simon Mattsson

Oleksii Koiev raised to 12,000 from under the gun and was called by Denis Simionel in the hijack. Simon Mattsson was forced all in for 3,000 in the big blind which created some action in a side pot.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Spades} and Koiev led out with a bet of 10,000. Simionel raised to 31,000 and Koiev just called. The turn brought the {4-Spades} and both players checked to the {6-Hearts} on the river.

Koiev jammed all in on the river and Simionel quickly mucked his cards. Koiev turned over {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for the nut flush while Mattsson was left with {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} which sent him to the rail.

Nahmyung Kim: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

A flip for Hocquaux to stay alive in the tournament, with the money bubble on the horizon. No sweat for Hocquaux, as he flopped a full house on {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}. He evaded the runner-runners on {4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and doubled up, surpassing Kim in stack size.
