Karma

Level 2
Giuliano Bendinelli
Giuliano Bendinelli

Philipp Gruissem got his chips in before the flop with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Giuliano Bendinelli was the one putting him at risk. Bendinelli showed his {K-Spades}{J-Spades} first, Gruissem showed the {J-Diamonds} and then slowly rolled over the {A-Diamonds} as accompanying card with a big grin. The whole table laughed, and Bendinelli bumped fists with Gruissem for the nice execution of the slowroll.

It would bite Gruissem in the back though as the board ran out {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, making Bendinelli a straight.

Bad Beat Sees Off Smith; Deadman Follows

Level 2

The action is wild all of a sudden on the feature table as another two players followed Marc-Andre Ladouceur out of the door. Dan Smith and Simon Deadman departed one hand after the other.

Smith flopped a straight on a {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop with {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and got his 13,075 stack in the middle. Marvin Rettenmaier was a willing customer with {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and filled up as the board ran out {10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

Deadman was down to fumes when he shoved with {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Sylvain Loosli called with {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and flopped an ace to seal the deal for the Team UK member.

Chen Busts to Kenney

Level 2

Andrew Chen had less than a big blind left, and moved all in. Bryn Kenney isolated and all other players folded.

Andrew Chen: {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Bryn Kenney: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Chen hit the rail. Team France, Russia, Germany, and USA still at tit at table 1.
