Mustafov's Full House Eliminates Furuse from the Tournament

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov opened the action with a raise to 10,000 from the hijack, and Kazuomi Furuse responded by moving all in on the button. Everyone else folded, leaving it to Mustafov, who made the call to go to showdown.

Kazuomi Furuse: AJAll in
Fahredin Mustafov: 44

Furuse needed some help from the board, and when a jack hit the flop, it gave him a glimmer of hope. But that hope was quickly crushed as a four appeared as well, leaving Furuse in a tough spot. The board eventually ran out 9J489, sealing Furuse’s fate and eliminating him from the tournament, while Mustafov stacked up even more chips.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Christian Steindel
Christian Steindel

Heads-up on a flop of 25A, Christian Steindel bet 17,000 from the small blind and Danielle Noja called in the hijack.

The turn was the Q and Steindel bet 45,000. Noja then moved all in for 121,000 and Steindel quickly called.

Steindel turned over QQ for a turned set. "Okay, nice call I guess," Noja said as he showed A7 and was already drawing dead by the 8 river as Steindel scored the early knockout.

Reichenstein Has a Short Day

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joao Tomas raised to 10,000 in the cutoff as action folded to Uri Reichenstein in the big blind. He asked the dealer what would happen if his clock ran out as he took a moment before calling.

The flop came Q75 and Reichenstein again took his time before leading out for 10,000. Tomas immediately raised enough to put him all in and Reichenstein called for an additional 6,000.

Uri Reichenstein: 33 All in
Joao Tomas: AQ

Tomas had flopped top pair and had Reichestein at risk as the board ran out K9, sending Reichenstein to the rail. "Sorry for the time. I was trying to make the jump," Reichenstein told his tablemates as he got up from his seat.

"It was worth an extra thousand," Danielle Noja replied.

Skrbic Runs Queens into Malec's Aces Early On

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Milos Skrbic
Milos Skrbic

Sebastian Malec from under the gun and Milos Skrbic from the next seat played out a pot which left the latter at risk preflop for his stack of around 150,000.

Milos Skrbic: QQ All in
Sebastian Malec: AA

Skrbic had picked up a premium, but it wasn't quite good enough as his pocket queens were crushed by the aces of Malec. The flop of 545 offered no help to Skrbic, but he did pick up a flush draw on the K turn, which peaked his interest in the pot. However, the 10 river wasn't the card he needed, and he was the first player to hit he rail on Day 3.
