Mazza-Boussemart Tumbles Down as Zanasi Picks Up Queens

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Albert Gorelik was all in for around 12,000 in middle position, Massimiliano Zanasi put in his 58,000 from early position, and Giuseppe Mazza-Boussemart had them both at risk in the small blind.

Albert Gorelik: A♣10♦
Giuseppe Mazza-Boussemart: J♠J♥
Massimiliano Zanasi: Q♣Q♠

Zanasi had woken up with queens and was poised to take down the entire pot as the board came 3♣2♠9♠4♥3♥, earning him a double up through Mazza-Boussemart while eliminating Gorelik.

"All week it's been this way for me," Mazza-Boussemart lamented as he watched his once-massive stack cut in half.

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Ren Lin raised to 3,200 in early position and Anestis Anagnostidis called in the hijack. Wooram Cho then moved all in for 28,500 in the small blind and Lin reshoved for 67,300.

"No Gamble, No Future," Lin said, tossing his patch over to Anagnostidis who eventually folded.

Wooram Cho: A♥9♦
Ren Lin: 5♠4♣

"Cooler. Good game," Lin told Cho as the 8♦3♦6♣ flop gave him a straight draw. The 10♥ turn and Q♠ river completed the board and Cho doubled up with ace-high.

"Next time," Anagnostidis added.

The next hand, Cho shoved again from the button. "Come on, Lady Gaga," Lin said as he peeked at his cards before calling for 35,000.

Ren Lin: Q♣J♦
Wooram Cho: A♥10♥

Lin hit a pair on the K♠9♠J♠ flop, while Cho missed the 4♥ turn and 3♣ river as the two players wound up right back where they started.

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Andrea Dato was all in for 18,000 from early position and up against Jessica Teusl.

Andrea Dato: A♦K♥
Jessica Teusl: 8♥8♣

Dato spiked the A♠ on the flop and it was followed by 7♠4♠10♥10♠ as he earned a double up through Teusl, who, despite that hit, has still managed to increase her stack to around 140,000.

Wooram Cho, meanwhile, busted shortly after his encounters with Ren Lin and fired his ninth bullet. He then immediately got his chips in again, this time against Vadzim Lipauka.

Wooram Cho: 10♥10♠
Vadzim Lipauka: A♠K♥

Unlike Dato, Lipauka couldn't connect with the 2♥5♠9♣2♠4♦ board as Cho's pocket tens stayed in the lead to earn him a double up and keep him in the tournament, at least for now.

Level 12 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Oliver Huber opened to 3,500 from under the gun before Jareth East moved all in for 32,000 from middle position. Arvin Vahdat also called off his stack of 17,000 from the small blind. Huber called as the covering stack.

Arvin Vahdat: 9♥8♥
Jareth East: J♠J♥
Oliver Huber: 8♣8♠

East had the best of it and remained that way on the Q♣6♣5♣ pot but Huber locked up the hand on the 9♣ turn. The 10♥ river completed the board.

The following hand, Dan Maricuta opened to 3,200 from the cutoff and Huber called from the big blind.

On the 10♣9♣4♦ bet Huber check-raised to 10,500 after Maricuta put out a bet. The latter called.

Huber fired for 17,500 on the 7♥ turn and after some thought, Maricuta called once more. Huber shoved on the 5♣ river and Maricuta snap-folded.

Level 12 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Action folded to Dimitrios Katsikas in the small blind who raised to 5,000. Oliver Heidel then moved all in for around 35,000 in the big blind and Katsikas gave the decision some thought before calling.

Oliver Heidel: Q♦5♦
Dimitrios Katsikas: 10♥10♦

"Don't kill me like this," Katsikas pleaded with the dealer. Heidel had been caught shoving light and watched as the board ran out 3♦8♦9♠2♠2♣ to send him to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Orhan Sen raised to 3,400 in early position before Daniel Kneitinger three-bet to 10,000 in middle position. Gergo Gecsek, his chips laid out in a triangle formation in front of him, then moved all in for 65,000.

Sen instantly splashed in four blue 25,000 chips to call as action went on Kneitinger, who also called for his last 40,000.

Daniel Kneitinger: Q♥Q♦
Gergo Gecsek: J♠J♦
Orhan Sen: A♠A♦

Sen had woken up with aces and left Kneitinger and Gecsek both looking for help heading to the K♠K♦4♣ flop. The A♣ fell on the turn and Sen improved to a full house, leaving both his opponents drawing dead as the 10♠ completed the board.

"No need to count," a tablemate informed the dealer as Gecsek and Kneitinger made their exit and the pot was pushed to Sen.

Level 12 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Viacheslav Svyshchov opened to 3,200 from middle position and was called by Siarhei Chudapal on his direct left. Jin-Hoon Lee three-bet to 11,500 from the hijack. Andrej Desset cold-called from the button. Svyshchov and Chudapal also called to set up a big pot.

Action checked to Lee on the A♠7♥4♦ flop. He bet 18,000 and saw Desset and Svyshchov quickly folded. Chudapal stuck around.

Chudapal then quickly check-called for 25,000 on the 7♣ turn, which brought in the 2♣ river. Chudapal, with 89,000 behind, checked and Lee announced all in as the big stack. Chudapal went deep into the tank and then open-folded A♣Q♣.

Chudapal implored Lee to show. "You wanna see?" asked Lee and tabled 5♦5♣ for a big bluff that drew gasps from the table.
