Dan Shak
Dan Shak

Jean-Noel Thorel and Dan Shak, who was on the button, each put in about 350,000 preflop. Thorel checked the {10-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop and Shak shoved for 355,000. Thorel called with {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for a gutter and had a bunch of outs against Shak's {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. The turn and river brought running {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} to counterfeit Shak.

Ognjen Sekularac Over 3 Million

Level 14 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Ognjen Sekularac is over 3,000,000 in his effort to make his second final table of this WSOP Europe. He just eliminated Max Altergott when Altergott went all in with {q-Spades}{j-Spades} and Sekularac called with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Neither player connected with the board and Sekularac won the hand. He opened the next hand to 100,000 and Dennis Yu defended from the big blind, but check-folded to a c-bet from Sekularac on the {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop.

Sylvain Loosli
Sylvain Loosli

We didn't see the exact details but Sylvain Loosli just doubled through Philipp Gruissem. It was blind-versus-blind and it looked like Gruissem shipped it with {k-Spades}{5-Spades} and Loosli called with {a-}{3-}, winning with a pair of threes when Gruissem did not improve.

Gruissem Applies the Pressure

Level 13 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Philipp Gruissem was in the small blind and asked for a look at Sylvain Loosli's remaining stack. Loosli was in the big blind and had about 480,000 remaining.

Gruissem limped and Loosli checked his option. The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Gruissem bet 50,000. Loosli called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Gruissem bet again, this time making it 125,000 to go. Loosli called.

The river was the {a-Clubs} and Gruissem bet 500,000. Loosli had only 390,000 behind and went into the tank. He took very close to the maximum allowed time before deciding to fold.

Martin Kabrhel limped under the gun and Sam Grafton raised to 95,000 from the hijack. Kabrhel called and the pair saw a {4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop.

Kabrhel checked and Grafton continued for 135,000. Kabrhel called.

The unusually quiet pair checked the {9-Spades} turn and the {8-Spades} river. Kabrhel showed {j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for a pair of jacks while Grafton showed {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for a pair of queens and took down the pot.
