Zawadowicz Puts a Big Dent in Amsellem's Stack

Kai Cocklin

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jacob Amsellem made it 25,000 from the small blind and Pawel Zawadowicz called out of the big blind.

On the flop of J♣8♣6♦, Amsellem continued with a bet of 25,000, and Zawadowicz made it 80,000. Amsellem then shoved, and Zawadowicz called for his stack of 217,000.

Pawel Zawadowicz: 10♣6♣ All in
Jacob Amsellem: J♠7♣

Zawadowicz had a pair plus a flush draw and didn't need to wait long to connect as he improved to a flush on the 4♣ turn. There was no card in the deck that could save Amsellem, as he watched a meaningless 2♥ fill out the board.

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ran Shahar and Marek Kopec went to the turn with the board showing Q♣6♦8♣8♠ where Shahar bet 40,000 from middle position. Kopec then raised to 100,000 in the big blind.

Shahar came back with an all-in shove and Kopec snap-called for 180,000, turning over 6♥6♠ for a full house. Shahar could only show K♦Q♠ for two pair, but the Q♦ fell on the river to give him a better two pair and send Kopec to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Marius Schneider and Ron Jeda were heads-up on a flop of 10♥9♠9♥ where Schneider bet 16,000 from the hijack. Jeda then moved all in from the small blind and Schneider took a peek at the tournament clock before calling for 136,000.

Marius Schneider: J♣J♥ All in
Ron Jeda: J♦8♣

Schneider was ahead with two pair, while Jeda was on a straight draw. The K♣ turn was safe for Schneider, while the A♥ river secured him a double up.

"Easy call. Very well played. Especially on the river. I see no mistakes," Martin Kabrhel told Schneider after the hand.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Marius Schneider opened to 20,000 from the cutoff and was called by Marco Leigheb from the small blind. Bogdan Tilica then clicked it to 40,000 from the bi blind, leaving 13,000 behind.

Schneider got out of the way but Leigheb was very confused by the raise.

"What are you doing, man?" laughed Leigheb. He ended up putting Tilica all-in and the latter put in his last few chips.

Bogdan Tilica: 10♠8♦ All in
Marco Leigheb: K♦J♥

Tilica was all smiles and laughs as he exited the tournament following the 7♠6♣2♠5♦Q♥ runout.
