Netaliev Barrels it Off Against Bujtas

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Oleg Netaliev
Oleg Netaliev

Laszlo Bujtas opened with a raise to 9,000 and Jason Wheeler called one seat over. Oleg Netaliev was next to act and three-bet to 36,000. Bujtas called, as did Wheeler, to create a pot of over 100,000 already before the flop was dealt.

The {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop got checked to Netaliev, who continued for 45,000. Bujtas stuck around while Wheeler gave it up.

On the {A-Diamonds} turn, Netaliev pondered for over a minute before coming up with a bet of 95,000. Bujtas once again called the bet.

The {J-Hearts} river completed the board and Bujtas checked a third time. Netaliev thought briefly before moving in for 208,000 total. Bujtas double-checked his hole cards to be sure, then put his stack in with a loud thump.

Oleg Netaliev: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Laszlo Bujtas: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Netaliev had nothing to show for except a daring attempt with king-high, but had run into Butjas' stone-cold nuts to be left with mere dust.

After doubling his crumbs, Netaliev shoved once more for 20,500 from under the gun and got called by Andrei Boghean in the cutoff and Timo Kamphues on the button. Bujtas wanted to finish what he had begun and reshoved from the small blind to get the others out of the way. Netaliev held {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} but couldn't beat Bujtas' {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and was eliminated.

Badziakouski Stays Alive

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Viktor Blom opened from early position and was called by Mikita Badziakouski in the small blind along with the big blind. The flop came {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and the action checked to Blom who continued for 16,000. Badziakouski moved all in for 51,500 which got the big blind out of the way and Blom called.

Badziakouski turned over {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for an open-ended straight draw while Blom had the best hand and blockers with {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The turn brought the {k-Spades} to give Badziakouski a flush draw as well. The {7-Clubs} on the river completed the straight for Badziakouski as he scored a double up to stay alive.

Sekularac Doubles; Jachtmann Doesn't

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ognjen Sekularac got his stack of 161,000 in preflop with the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and had a flip against the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} of Adem Marjanovic. The board came {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Sekularac found both the king and ace on the flop to remain in contention.

One table over, Jan-Peter Jachtmann was all in and awaiting his fate. Timothy Adams and Chris Ferguson checked down the board of {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Jachtmann flashed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}, which ended up third-best to the {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} of Ferguson and the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} of Adams.

In the meanwhile, Bjorn Wiesler has also been eliminated.

Nitsche and Urban Play for It All

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Dominik Nitsche opened from the cutoff and David Urban three-bet to 30,000 on the button. Nitsche called and the flop came {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Nitsche checked to Urban who continued for 22,000. The German check-raised to 90,000 and Urban moved all in for over 200,000. Nitsche made the call having slightly fewer chips and the cards were tabled.

David Urban: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Dominik Nitsche: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Both players held a flush draw and got there on the {8-Hearts} turn card. Urban held the best flush leaving Nitsche drawing dead to the {k-Diamonds} on the river. Nitsche hit the rail while Urban stacked up over 500,000 chips.

The River Gets Aido Paid

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a flop of {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, Sergio Aido checked from the big blind and Moreno Plozza bet from middle position. Aido called and the {k-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Aido checked again and the action froze for nearly two minutes until Plozza realized the action was on him, and then he checked. The river was the {6-Clubs} and Aido led out for 32,500. Plozza quickly called only to see Aido turn over {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Plozza showed the {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} but was no good against Aido's flush.

Tabacaru Doubles Through Netaliev

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The turn showed {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Oleg Netaliev checked from early position, which prompted a bet of 37,000 by Ion Tabacaru from two seats over. Netaliev moved all in and Tabacaru was sent into the think tank.

Steven Warburton was about to call the clock on Tabacaru, when Jason Wheeler did so. Tabacaru was given 30 seconds to act and splashed in his remaining chips with three seconds left.

Ion Tabacaru: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Oleg Netaliev: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The river was the blank {10-Diamonds} and Tabacaru doubled for 114,500.

Alex Foxen

Over at table 166, the furthest table in the corner of King's Casino, Alex Foxen and Quan Zhou were tangling in a sizable pot. Earlier action bumped the pot to around 190,000 and Foxen checked to the Chinese on a {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{K-Clubs} board.

Zhou cut out a bet of 110,000 and Foxen, GPI's #1 ranked player, went in the tank for around two minutes before flicking in a single T-500 chip, indicating a call.

Zhou revealed {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a total airball and Foxen rolled over {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} to scoop up the pot.

Ramussen Takes From Kaneoya; Yu Eliminated

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On the tail end of a bigger pot between initial raiser Kristoffer Rasmussen in middle position and Renato Kaneoya, the latter checked the {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} river and Ramussen bet 100,000. Kaneoya called and was shown the {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a flopped flush, which ended up winning the pot.

Winfred Yu was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and he had sent over his stack to Jaroslav Peter. On a three-way flop of {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}, Ole Schemion checked in the big blind and Yu jammed for 64,500. Peter called on the button and Schemion let go from the big blind.

Yu tabled the {A-Spades}{7-Spades} for the nutflushdraw, while Peter had paired up with {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The {3-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river were both blanks and Yu was gone in the final level of the day.
