Lykov Is the King of the Kastle

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Casey Kastle
Casey Kastle

Maxim Lykov raised to 4,000 and the hijack called. Casey Kastle peeked at his cards and announced "I raise" loud and clear before tossing in his last 4,500 chips from the cutoff. "Everybody get out if you know what's good for you," the American joked. Christoph Richter was having none of it and shoved for around 25,000 right behind him, and Lykov called, forcing out the hijack.

Casey Kastle: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}
Christoph Richter: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Maxim Lykov: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Lykov sent both short stacks to the rail.

Felipe Ramos

There was just over 20,000 in the pot on a board reading {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Rene Crha led out for 6,800 in the small blind and Felipe Ramos shoved all-in for 26,400 in the big blind. Crha made the call and the cards were tabled.

Ramos: {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Crha: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Ramos turned a straight and left Crha drawing dead to the {a-Clubs} on the river. Ramos got a full double up to an above-average stack nearing the end of Day 1B.

Petleshkov Rising

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Viliyan Petleshkov's raise from under the gun was called by Andrej Desset in the big blind and both checked a flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Desset bet the {8-Diamonds} turn for 6,600 and Petleshkov called before Desset checked and called a bet worth 20,000 by Petleshkov on the {3-Diamonds} river. The Bulgarian showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and that won the pot.

Right after, Alexander Schlien won a flip with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} against the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} of Desset on a board of {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} before a short stack shoved for 10,500. Petleshkov called on the button and held up with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} versus {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} in showdown, as the board came {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Down to 49 Players

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The entertainment program over on table 83 has suddenly stopped as Martin Kabrhel first squeezed into four limpers and lost more than half of his stack against Krasimir Yankov. Soon after, Kabrhel shipped his remaining chips over to Rene Crha and the table was suddenly silent.

According to the screens, there are just 49 players remaining in the penultimate level of the night.

Stoyan Obreshkov

Stoyan Obreshkov raised to 3,600 from the cutoff and Rene Crha called in the big blind. The flop fell {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Crha led out for 3,300. Obreshkov called and the {7-Hearts} hit the turn.

Crha checked and Obreshkov took his turn to fire out a bet of 4,400. Crha made the call and the {a-Clubs} landed on the river. Crha checked again and Obreshkov shipped all-in for around 35,000, a little more than a pot-sized bet. Crha quickly tossed his cards away and Obreshka scooped the pot.

Add On for Adomkevicius

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Aneris Adomkevicius
Aneris Adomkevicius

The player that had doubled Richard Pfeffer previously scored two miracle double ups in quick succession, with {6-}{4-} versus ace-king and {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} against the same hand, before Aneris Adomkevicius put an end to the comeback story. On the heads-up flop of {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Adomkevicius called the shove for 33,100 with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and was shown {A-Hearts}{8-Spades} only.

The {4-Spades} turn locked things up for the Lithuanian, making the {10-Clubs} river a formality. "I think he was tilt," Adomkevicius said in table chat while raking in the pot. Aleksandar Tomovic had been eliminated from the same table before.

Lars Kamphues shoved from late position and James Hoeppner called all in for 16,100 from the big blind with {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Kamphues only had {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}, and despite flopping best on {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Hoeppner got there with the {4-Hearts} turn and {2-Hearts} river to double his short stack and leave Kamphues on life support. The German lost the remaining few chips soon after.

Pfeffer Remains In Contention

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The board came {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and the kicker played to let the Hungarian double.

Pfeffer doubled to just shy of the average and there are 56 players remaining for Day 1b.
