Sklenicka Busts Krzyminski

Richard Hayes

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Michael Sklenicka opened to 160,000 under the gun, and was faced with a three-bet to 500,000 from Michal Krzyminski in the cutoff. Action folded back to Sklenicka, who thought for a bit before pumping it up to 950,000.

Kryzminski didn't take long before five-bet jamming for 2,205,000 total, and didn't look pleased when Sklenicka snapped with the slightly covering stack.

Michal Krzyminski: J♦J♠ All in
Michael Sklenicka: A♣K♣

Krzyminski was ahead in a race, but that didn't last long after the flop came A♦K♥4♥, giving Sklenicka top two pair. Kryzminski was down to two outs, and they didn't arrive on the 5♣3♠ turn and river.

Andro Scarpa was seen departing another table, having also busted.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 9♥5♣A♠, Martin Kabrhel on the button bet 80,000, then fired a second barrel of 420,000 on the 7♥ turn. Miki Vea Garcia in the big blind check-called both times.

The J♣ completed the board and after Vea Garcia checked, Kabrhel decided to move all in. Vea Garcia snap-called, being the player at risk for 1,975,000.

Miki Vea Garcia: A♦9♦ All in
Martin Kabrhel: 6♦3♣

Kabrhel bluffed and was called by Vea Garcia who flopped two pair and doubled up.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Around 1,600,000 was in the middle on a flop of A♠10♠Q♣ and Martin Tsvetanov jammed his last 70,000 from the big blind, receiving a call from Michael Sklenicka in the cutoff.

Martin Tsvetanov: A♥10♥ All in
Michael Sklenicka: A♣4♣

Tsvetanov had flopped two pair and Sklenicka required runner runners, but the 8♠ turn was a brick, the 4♠ river making Sklenicka a rubdown irrelevant two pair. "There's the four" he said, smiling as Tsvetanov raked in the pot.

Dan O'Hair

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel opened to 100,000 from under the gun and action folded to Nils Pudel, who shoved for a bit over 700,000 on the button. Kabrhel quickly called to put Pudel at risk and a showdown was held.

Nils Pudel: Q♥Q♦ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♥A♦

It was a cooler for Pudel, and the Q♠A♠4♠9♥7♣ runout improved both players to a set — leaving Kabrhel best and eliminating Pudel from the tournament.

"Set over set... there was nothing you could do!" Kabrhel joked as he collected the pot.

Larsen Celebrating Again

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Short-stack Matthias Auer (120,000) and Birger Larsen (945,000) were all-in and at risk versus Andris Rasins.

Matthias Auer: 7♠3♠ All in
Birger Larsen: Q♥Q♦ All in
Andris Rasins: J♣J♦

Larsen was in great shape with the overpair queens, and he was again celebrating enthusiastically after the 9♥4♥4♣7♦3♥ runout.

He walked away from the table pumping his fist as the stacks were being counted, and one of his tablemates jokingly shouted "You lost bro", in reference to the 7♦3♥ turn and river. For a moment a look of horror was on the face of Larsen but he peered again at the board and realized the joke, sitting down again to a stack of over 2,000,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Birger Larsen	2,100,000 75,000	75,000
Andris Rasins	735,000 -945,000	-945,000

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Magnus Persson opened to 80,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 235,000 by Krzysztof Krawczyk in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Persson, who called.

Persson check-called a 180,000 bet from Krawczyk on the A♣7♥7♦ flop and checked again after the 8♣ fell on the turn.

Krawczyk announced he was all in for approximately 1,000,000 total and Magnus quickly called to put Krawczyk at risk.

Krzysztof Krawczyk: A♥K♦ All in
Magnus Persson: 7♣6♣

Krawczyk found himself drawing to two outs against Persson's trip sevens, but the 4♥ river bricked out and Persson collected the rest of Krawczyk's chips.

Dan O'Hair

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kasper Mellanen opened to 60,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 155,000 by Matthew Micallef on the button. It was folded back to Mellanen, who verified the amount before sticking in a four-bet to 400,000 total. Micallef called.

Micallef called a 300,000 bet from Mellanen on the 6♦J♦7♣ flop and then bet 575,000 after being checked to on the 5♥ turn.

Mellanen announced he was all in and Micallef let his hand go — conceding the massive pot to Mellanen.
