Third Bullet Required for Pop

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante
Catalin Pop
Catalin Pop

"No good. Tomorrow I will show up when the antes start," Catalin Pop joked after he had been eliminated. The Romanian will have to try his luck again on Day 1c after bullet one and two were not crowned by success.

Felipe Ramos and John Racener just walked in with a ticket in the hand and chatted before taking a seat, and Robert Schulz also just registered for the second starting day. Schulz final-tabled two events of the World Series of Poker Circuit here in Rozvadov a few days ago including a third place in the €5,300 High Roller, and cashed in the €1,650 Main Event.

Schulz then won the €888 Crazy Eights for €42,165, which was not a ring event and took place between the Circuit and the start of the Monster Stack.

Also in: Georgios Zisimopoulos and Aylar Lie.

MacDonnell Rivers the Nut Flush

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

There were five players with cards in front of them on a flop of {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The action was checked to the hijack who bet 725 into a pot of around 1,600. Marc MacDonnell called from early position and they went heads-up to the turn.

The {2-Clubs} paired the board on the turn and MacDonnell checked again. His opponent fired another 1,675 and MacDonnell stuck around to see the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

MacDonnell checked one more time and his opponent sat in thought for a moment before betting 3,000. MacDonnel instantly tossed in a chip to call and his opponent turned over {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. MacDonnell tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} to river the nut flush and take down the pot.

Andrej Desset

With around 8,000 in the pot, the full board was spread out and read {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Andrej Desset checked from the hijack and his opponent pushed all-in for 16,100.

Desset tanked for a couple minutes until finally putting together enough chips for a call. "If you have it, you have it," Desset said as he pushed his chips forward.

His opponent reluctantly turned over {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} while Desset showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the nut flush.

Lukac Gifted a Near Double by Camarda

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The cards were already rushed away while Salvatore Camarda left the tournament area. Emil Lukac had taken all of the Italian's chips and that was also confirmed by Kenny Hallaert. Apparently Camarda had raised from the button and Lukac called from the small blind.

According to Hallaert, the duo checked a flop of {10-}{4-}{3-} before Lukac's bet on the {J-} turn was raised by Camarda. Lukac called and also called the shove of the Italian on the {7-} river with {J-}{10-} for top two pair. Camarda only had {K-}{4-} for a pair of fours and exited early on Day 1b.

Perati Loses Small Pot

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Muhamet Perati raised to 250 and the player in the small blind called. On the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop, the small blind checked and Perati continued for 300, which picked up a call. Both checked the {7-Spades} on the turn and the bet of 600 by the small blind on the {5-Clubs} river was called.

Once Perati was shown {9-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a flopped straight, the Italian with Albanian roots mucked and dropped a few chips. Fellow Italian Domenico Gala is on the same table and Alex Foxen also just arrived in the one seat.

Castelluccio Takes from Obadia

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Until the flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, a pot of 1,600 had emerged and Jose Obadia checked out of the big blind. Sergio Castelluccio checked behind from late position and the duo headed to the {3-Spades} turn. Obadia checked once more and Castelluccio bet 1,700, which the Spaniard snap-called.

After the {K-Spades} river, Obadia checked the third street in a row and Castelluccio cut out a bet of more than 5,000. Obadia didn't ask for a count but instead snap-folded, then sighed while counting his remaining chips.
