Schemion Doubles Through Chen

Level 4

The flop showed {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} when Andrew Chen got Ole Schemion all in for his tournament life holding {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Chen had a huge draw and was up against Schemion's {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river the {7-Hearts} giving Team Germany the big double up on the feature table. Chen was left behind with very little chips and he's at risk to be knocked out first after winning his previous heat.

Barer Busts First in Heat 4

Level 4
Ami Barer
Ami Barer

Ami Barer begged neighbor Oleksii Khoroshenin to have him win the hand. "I need it" Barer said. "Not this hand" Khoroshenin answered.

"He just won the last one" Selbst added about Barer who indeed was victorious in the last heat.

Khoroshenin opened the small blind for 600 and Barer three bet to 1,425 from the big. Khoroshenin four bet to 2,600 and Barer five bet shoved. Khoroshenin instantly called.

Oleksii Khoroshenin: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Ami Barer: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, giving Barer enough time to get something to eat if he hadn't already.

"You're doing great in a sense of hourly" Selbst needled. No back to back for Barer, he's the first one to bust in Heat 4.

The Good Ol' Limp Reraise

Level 4
Dan Smith
Dan Smith

Dan Smith limped under the gun for 100 and Vitaly Lunkin over limped from the hijack. Patrick Bruel limped the button and Giuliano Bendinelli completed from the small blind.

Big blind George Danzer had bigger plans, he raised it up to 700.

"Come on!" Oleksandr Gnatenko laughed, "Make it a limp reraise!"

After a few seconds Smith smiled and said, "Ok, I'll bite" before making it 2,000.

Action folded back to Danzer who called.

Both players checked {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

The {6-Clubs} on the turn made Danzer bet 1,200 and Smith folded rather quickly.

The Great Bendinelli

Level 4

Giuliano Bendinelli, who has won two and finished runner up in Heat 3 for Team Italy, was a little late.

Table two had no Italian player and George Danzer asked where he was.

Dario Sammartino, seated on Table 1, looked around and concluded "The great Bendinelli isn't here".

Bendinelli came not much later, having missed two hands tops.
