Vaitiekunas Calls Off Zukowicz

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was picked up on a turn of 8♦6♣A♥. Monika Zukowicz placed a bet of 110,000 from the big blind. Paulius Vaitiekunas called in the cutoff, growing the pot to over 450,000 in size.

The Q♦ river then completed the board. Zukowicz put Vaitiekunas all-in for his last 175,000 or so and was quickly called.

She tabled 8♥8♠ for a set of eights, besting the A♠K♣ of Vaitiekunas. His top pair was no good and he quickly vacated the tournament area.

Valentin Oberhauser raised to 25,000 in the hijack, Vladas Tamasauskas three-bet to 108,000 in the big blind, and Oberhauser called.

The flop came 6♦2♠2♣ and Tamasauskas continued for 93,000. Oberhauser then attempted to raise to 165,000 but the dealer told him he had to make it at least 186,000. Tamasauskas used up a time bank before he also min-raised, making it 279,000.

Oberhauser quickly folded and Tamasauskas, dressed in an extravagant white coat, took the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 6♦4♦A♣6♠ and around 120,000 in the pot, George Tomescu bet 68,000 from under the gun and Patrik Jaros called from the hijack.

Tomescu fired another bet for 177,000 on the 4♥ turn, sending Jaros into the tank.

Jaros burned through three time extensions before making the call. Tomescu turned over aces up with A♠Q♠ which was enough to take down a sizable pot.

Joshua Gebissa opened to 25,000 from under the gun before Viktor Blom made it 86,000 from the cutoff.

Cristian Visoiu put hin his stack of around 91,000 from the small blind. Gebissa got out of the way and Blom put in the extra few chips.

Cristian Visoiu: Q♥Q♦ All in
Viktor Blom: 5♥5♣

Blom was crushed and remained behind following the A♦7♣4♣ flop and 8♦ turn. However, his gutshot came in on the 6♦ river to give him an eight-high straight for the pot and bust out.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Niklas Astedt was all-in from the small blind for 12,000 on a flop of 3♠3♣2♠. Enrico Camosci checked from the big blind and Roman Hrabec followed suit with a check from early position. Pavel Svach bet 30,000 from the button, which forced a fold from Camosci, but a check-raise to 80,000 from Hrabec. Svach called.

The 4♠ came on the turn and Hrabec opted to check-fold to a bet of 80,000 from Svach. Svach would win the main pot and the cards were revealed, with Astedt needing a lot of help.

Niklas Astedt: Q♦2♣ All in
Pavel Svach: 5♦4♦

Astedt needed to find a queen or a deuce on the river or he would bust the Main Event. The dealer dropped a miracle 2♥ on the river to give Astedt the best hand with a boat. Astedt's response to rivering the winner was:

"The comeback is real boys"

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Fabian Gumz had raised to 24,000 in early position when Fabio Peluso tossed in a three-bet from the cutoff. The action folded back to Gumz, who four-bet jammed.

Peluso immediately called off his stack of 341,000 and the cards were flipped up.

Fabio Peluso: A♥A♣ All in
Fabian Gumz: A♠Q♣

Gum flopped a sweat on 7♥Q♠10♠, but no other queens appeared on the 8♦9♠ runout to double up Peluso in full.

David Dongwoo Ko raised to 24,000 in the hijack and Egor Procop called in the cutoff. Frederik Thiemer then three-bet to 125,000 in the small blind and only Ko called.

The flop came Q♦Q♣4♥ and Thiemer bet 55,000. Ko called to see the 9♣ turn, where Thiemer bet another 225,000. Ko again called.

The river was the 4♠ and Thiemer slowed down and checked. Ko then moved all in and Thiemer, with around 380,000 remaining, quickly folded.

"For PokerNews," Ko said as he flashed K♠10♠ while taking in the big pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brandon Sheils raised to 28,000 in the hijack before Hugues Girard three-bet to 100,000 in the small blind. Sheils then moved all in for 330,000 and Girard snap-called.

Brandon Sheils: A♠Q♥ All in
Hugues Girard: A♦K♠

Sheils found himself dominated and at risk, and the J♥5♥2♠8♣J♣ board didn't provide any help as he was sent to the rail.
