Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Maria Lampropulos
Maria Lampropulos

Samuel Ju was all in for 85,000 in the hijack and was looked up by Maria Lampropulos in the cutoff.

Samuel Ju: QQ All in
Maria Lampropulos: AK

It was once again time for hold'em's classic flip. Lampropulos took the lead on the K43 flop and made trips on the K9 runout to bust Ju and add to her monstrous stack.

Zamani Pays Schuh's Mortgage

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Michal Schuh
Michal Schuh

Under the gun, Martin Zamani placed a bet of 41,000 into a pot that had grown to 150,000. There was a completed board of 342Q2 on the table and Michal Schuh sat in the tank.

After a little while, he jammed all in for 197,000. Zamani talked, mostly to himself, for several minutes until a table mate called the clock.

However, no floorman was needed as Zamani quickly tossed in a call. Schuh tabled 33 for a full house, besting the AQ of Zamani and raking in the huge pot.

Kabrhel, Endres, Shumeiko Play Three-Way All-In Pot

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Yehor Shumeiko
Yehor Shumeiko

A three-way all-in pot that involved Martin Kabrhel couldn't go unnoticed on the poker floor of King's Resort, as everybody heard Kabrhel screaming for a snowman.

Kabrhel, Steffen Endres, and Yehor Shumeiko were all-in preflop with the board of 2927A already showing on the table.

Shumeiko held AA for a rivered set of aces, which earned him a triple-up. Endres had AK for a pair of aces, which must have beaten Kabrhel for the side pot as his hand was already face down in the muck. By the screams of "snowman dealer, where is my snowman?" from the local player, it's likely that he held pocket eights.

Bye-Bye, Bedell

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Tom-Aksel Bedell
Tom-Aksel Bedell

Tom-Aksel Bedell was seen tossing his final 51,000 into a pot of 20,000 from the cutoff. The flop read JK9 and Jacob Powers made the call in the small blind.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: K10 All in
Jacob Powers: Q10

Powers had flopped the nuts, and that remained the case on the A5 runout.

"Bye-bye," Bedell jovially said as he chuckled and headed to the exit.

Big Slick Helps Madanzhiev to a Double-Up

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Stoyan Madanzhiev
Stoyan Madanzhiev

Stoyan Madanzhiev made it 8,000 from early position and Alessandro Pichierri three-bet to 50,000 out of the big blind. Manadzhiev had around 90,000 to start the hand, and shoved them all into the middle. Pichierri called.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: AK All in
Alessandro Pichierri: JJ

Madanzhiev needed to win a flip to survive, and did just that after he paired his ace on the 48A78 runout, which secured him a double-up just after dinner.

Wieckenberg Survives, Bensimhon Rattled by Ko

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
David Dongwoo Ko
David Dongwoo Ko

Jan Wieckenberg was all-in and at risk against big-stacked David Dongwoo Ko for his stack of around 65,000.

Jan Wieckenberg: A10 All in
David Dongwoo Ko: KQ

Both caught a piece of the QAJ flop but it was Wieckenberg's pair of aces that was in the lead, and it stayed that way after the 5 hit the turn. Wieckenberg managed to survive as the 7 on the river earned him a double-up.

Eyal Bensimhon sits on the same table and had some questions for PokerNews during the hand.

"Do you know this guy? If you don't recognize him, this is good for me," in reference to Ko.

"He plays so fast, I can't keep up," Bensimhon added.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Cecile Ticherfaine
Cecile Ticherfaine

Belarmino De Souza had opened from the cutoff and Cecile Ticherfatine three-bet her small blind. De Souza called, creating a pot of 56,000. Ticherfatine continued for 16,000 on the K85 flop, which De Souza called.

The 7 turn checked through to the 2 river. Ticherfatine put in a big bet of 80,000. De Souza needed several minutes before dropping calling chips in the middle.

Ticherfatine tabled K2 for two pair, leaving De Souza to nod his head and pay what he owed.

Kabrhel Offers Rezaei Some River Advice

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Daniel Rezaei raised to 5,500 in early position and Oleksii Kovalchuk called in the small blind. Martin Kabrhel then three-bet to 22,000 in the big blind and only Rezaei called.

Both players checked the 1093 flop and the 3 fell on the turn. Kabrhel checked, Rezaei bet 18,500, and Kabrhel called.

"Sexy," Kabrhel said as the 6 fell on the river.

"Sixty?" the dealer asked him.

"No, I said sexy. That's a joke. Somebody smile. No takers," Kabrhel said. He then bet 48,000.

"Yes, no snap-call. Winner," Kabrhel said, raising his arms in the air as Rezaei went into the tank. Kabrhel started his own personal clock on Rezaei and counted down from five. "Okay, dead hand," he said. He eventually did call the clock.

"You want advice from me? Pay her €20 and I'll tell you," Kabrhel offered Rezaei if he paid the dealer. "If somebody bets on the river, it's never a bluff," he added.

Rezaei eventually folded. "You want to see for the spectators? Tomorrow," Kabrhel said as he tossed his cards into the muck and took in the pot.

"Anyone have change for a €50," Rezaei asked, and Dietrich Fast came over from another table to give Rezaei change so he could pay the dealer.

Sklenicka Is a Spin Up Wizard

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Sklenicka
Michael Sklenicka

Michael Sklenicka moved all in for 24,000 in middle position and Cedric Schwaederle called on the button.

Michael Sklenicka: 1010 All in
Cedric Schwaederle: KQ

Schwaederle hit top pair on the Q97 flop, while the 8 turn gave Sklenicka outs to a straight. "Jack," he pleaded, but he instead caught the 10 to make a set. "Ten is good too," he said as he doubled up.

"In the Mini Main I was down to two big blinds, spun it up, went down to two big blinds, spun it up. I ended up cashing," Sklenicka told his tablemates.

"Thanks for telling us that min-cash story," Andras Nemeth replied.

"I was going to come here for that, but I thought there was no way I could stay here that long," Nick Palma added.
