Ufano Takes Out Zurcani

Tim Baker

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Halil Zurnaci got his last 80,000 into the middle preflop just after the break with Jorge Ufano making the call to try and bust him.

Halil Zurnaci: K♦10♠ All in
Jorge Ufano: A♦K♥

Zurnaci needed to find a ten if he was to beat the Big Slick of Ufano. The board ran out J♦4♦8♣8♦Q♦, which didn't help Zurnaci and he was sent to the cashier's desk.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Eugene Katchalov raised to 24,000 from the hijack and Romain Retiere defended in the big blind.

The J♦9♠6♣ flop saw Retiere check-call a bet of 16,000 from Katchalov.

The 7♥ turn saw Retiere play in flow. Katchalov moved all in and was met with a snap-call.

Eugene Katchalov: A♠A♣ All in
Romain Retiere: J♣9♥

Katchalov was behind the flopped two pair of Retiere. The J♠ river improved Retiere to a full house to send Katchalov to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mathieu Di Meglio opened to 24,000 from the cutoff before Fabian Schmidt three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind. Di Meglio called.

Schmidt fired out a bet of 20,000 on the 5♦A♠7♠ flop and Di Meglio called.

Schmidt opted to check when the dealer dropped the 9♣ turn. Di Meglio bet 48,000, which forced a fold from Schmidt.

As Di Meglio pulled in the pot he flipped over Q♣6♣ for a complete bluff.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Fintan Hand raised to 25,000 from the hijack and was called by Arsenii Karmatckii in the big blind. Karmarckii check-called Hand's continuation-bet of 15,000 on the 8♥7♥A♥ flop before the 10♥ turn went check-check.

Karmatckii then bet the minimum of 12,000 on the 7♠ river. Hand piled in a stack of T-25,000 chips to put Karmatckii all-in for 68,000.

Karmatckii spent some time mulling it over. Eventually, he called off. Hand showed K♠Q♥ for the second nut flush, leaving Karmatckii's 6♥5♦ second-best, resulting in his elimination.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Levente Szabo had made a raise to 24,000 in the cutoff when Grzegorz Popiolek three-bet all in for 190,000 in the big blind.

Grzegorz Popiolek: A♥8♣ All in
Levente Szabo: A♣10♦

Popiolek was behind but took a big lead on the 3♣A♠8♥ flop. His two pair remained best on the 6♠ turn, but Szabo secured the pot on the 10♣ river, giving him a higher two pair and eliminating Popiolek.

Vladimir Malyarchuk: 10♣10♥

This flip fell firmly in the favour of Malyarchuk on the A♠4♠10♠ flop, giving him a set. The 5♥ turn and K♠ river could change nothing and Sonmez was sent to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mathieu Di Meglio raised to 24,000 from early position, Steven Warburton three-bet jammed for 178,000 from the button and Alexey Kostyukhin, in the small blind, called off the bet for his effective stack of 89,000. Di Meglio folded.

Alexey Kostyukhin: A♣K♣ All in
Steven Warburton: 10♦9♦

The 5♦8♣A♥ flop paired Kostyukhin's ace, however, the 6♦ turn wasn't a safe one, giving Warburton a flush draw. The 4♥ river was clean for Kostyukhin and he doubled up.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Gonzalo Leal raised to 25,000 under the gun. Mathias Moutaoukil then three-bet jammed for 170,000 and Valeriy Fokin called for 110,000.

Gediminas Uselis sat on the button and four-bet all-in himself, forcing out Leal and putting the other opponents at risk.

Valeriy Fokin: A♥Q♥ All in
Mathias Moutaoukil: J♥J♣ All in
Gediminas Uselis: A♦K♣

Moutaoukil shot ahead on the Q♣7♣J♦ flop, giving him a set. The 10♦ turn gave Uselis a straight as he looked to score a double knock-out.

The K♥ river gave Fokin the same straight, however, and the pot was split between him and Uselis. Moutaoukil was left with nothing and left the tournament.
