2024 Merit Poker Carmen Series
Danut Chisu opened to 165,000 from under the gun and Alisa Sibgatova moved all in from the next seat over for approximately 900,000. Mateusz Wozniak called off from middle position for his stack of approximately 700,000 and Chisu, covering both players, made the call.
Mateusz Wozniak: 10♣10♦
Alisa Sibgatova: A♠K♣
Danut Chisu: A♦K♥
The K♠3♠4♣ flop left Wozniak drawing to just two outs. He couldn't catch a ten on the 5♦ turn or 7♠ river and was sent to the river while Sibgatova and Chisu chopped up the last of his chips.

The final 30 players are now on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Felipe Ketzer opened to 125,000 from the hijack and was called by Bart Lybaert in the cutoff and Danut Chisu on the button before Maciej Komorowski raised to 525,000 from the small blind. Ketzer folded and Lybaert moved all in, covering both remaining opponents who each had approximately 1,800,000. Chisu got out of the way while Komorowski made the call to put himself at risk.
Maciej Komorowski: AxQx
Bart Lybaert: A♦Q♦
A chop seemed destined until the board ran out 2♦K♠K♣7♦5♦ to give Lybaert the nut-flush and send Komorowski to the rail in brutal fashion.

With two players seeing a board of 2♠6♦4♥J♦K♠ and roughly 1,800,000 already in the middle, Tahsin Cankurtaranli checked from out of position and Kemal Aslan moved all in for 400,000. Cankurtaranli made the call.
Cankurtaranli tabled A♣K♥ for two pair which was enough to send Aslan to the rail and drag in a massive pot.

In a preflop confrontation Traian Stanciu found himself all in for approximately 400,000 from the small blind and was up against Andrey Pateychuk in middle position who held a covering stack.
Traian Stanciu: K♣10♣
Andrey Pateychuk: A♥10♥
Stanciu was in rough shape against the bigger ten and found no help on the 2♠6♦4♥ flop. The J♦ turn was also a brick but the K♠ river gave Stanciu top pair to secure a full double up.
Elsewhere in the tournament area, Nenad Dukic was recently eliminated.
