Yoseph Back on Track With a Double

Christian Zetzsche

Level 28 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Elia Salerno raised to 320,000 and Istvan Toth then pushed all-in for around ten blinds on the button. Berhane Yoseph called all-in for fewer than that and Salerno instantly folded.

Berhane Yoseph: A♦J♦
Istvan Toth: A♥Q♥

The 8♦5♦4♥ flop gave Yoseph a flush draw, which he missed on the A♠ turn. However, the 9♦ fell on the river and Yoseph doubled for 1,135,000. Toth had around four blinds left after that and hit the rail shortly after, as the field was reduced to the final four tables.

Level 28 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Dragan Miljanovic moved all in from the button for 340,000 and was called by Sabri Neziri in the big blind who covered.

Dragan Miljanovic: J♥3♥
Sabri Neziri: 10♠3♠

Miljanovic was in good shape with a bigger three and remained ahead on the K♣2♣5♣ flop. Neziri took the lead when he connected with the 10♣ turn although Miljanovic could now chop with any club. The 6♥ river was a blank and Neziri took the pot while Miljanovic was sent to the rail.

On Q♦5♥8♥ with 440,000 chips in the pot, Harcharan Dogra Dogra in the small blind moved all in, and Georgios Tsouloftas went into the tank.

With only 155,000 chips left, he waited while looking at the payouts on the screens. But the clock was called, and after almost 30 seconds, he called.

Georgios Tsouloftas: 6♥4♥
Harcharan Dogra Dogra: Q♣9♦

Tsouloftas needed a seven or heart to stay in the tournament. But the 5♣ came on the turn and the 9♣ on the river, ending his run in 36th place for €6,750.

Level 28 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

In the last hand of the previous level, Daniel Lehmann in the big blind battled with Martynas Brazdžionis in the hijack. They had 500,000 invested on the 10♣4♦3♦ flop and Lehmann checked the 7♥ turn. Brazdžionis bet 500,000 and his opponent eventually folded.

"Bluffy bluffy?!" Brazdžionis exclaimed and Lehmann replied "What did you have?"

"I had a big hand," Brazdžionis declared and then nodded when Lehmann guessed it to be an overpair.

Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Daniel Lehmann limped in from early position and Alberto Cigliano limped behind in the small blind. Omar Eljach checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came K♠J♠5♠ and action checked around to Lehmann who bet 120,000. Cigliano got out of the way while Eljach made the call.

Lehmann fired a second barrel when checked to on the K♥ turn, this time for 200,000. Once again Eljach called.

The river was the J♣. Eljach checked, Lehmann bet 1,100,000 and Eljach called for a third time.

Lehmann turned over K♣Q♥ for kings full of jacks and Eljach's cards hit the muck.
