Diac Triples, Shahar Bluffs Amsellem for the Side Pot

Kai Cocklin

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ran Shahar made it 50,000 from under the gun and Catalin Diac shoved in the hijack for 125,000. Jacob Amsellem then four-bet to 200,000 in the cutoff, and when the action got back to Shahar, he called.

Both active players checked the J♦4♠4♣ flop and Shahar fired 100,000 on the 3♦ turn. Amsellem called.

When the 6♠ hit the river, Shahar fired 155,000, and Amsellem snap-folded.

Shahar showed Q♦9♦ for just queen-high, but still won the side pot. Diac flipped 6♥6♣ for a rivered flush to scoop the main pot and give himself a lifeline.

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jacob Amsellem raised the button to 55,000 and Joerg Schneegass defended from the big blind.

They both went to a flop of J♠10♥K♠ where Schneegass check-called a bet of 55,000 from Amsellem.

Both checked the A♥ turn to see the Q♥ river, which put a Broadway straight on board. Schneegass checked, then Amsellem shoved. Schneegass had 335,000 remaining in his stack and snap-called, then showed J♥4♥ for a flush. Amsellem couldn't beat that and laughed to himself as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Joerg Schneegass	900,000 335,000	335,000

Michele Tocci: A♠Q♦ All in

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

De Han Kim raised to 55,000 in middle position and Tiberiu Tirca called on the button.

Kim checked the A♥A♣5♦ flop and Tirca bet 40,000. Kim called and both players checked the A♦ turn.

Kim then led out for 200,000 on the 3♠ river and Tirca moved all in for 720,000. While this hand was taking place, the other table was waiting for a player to fill the seat of the departed Rubin Okotie. As the minutes continued to burn off the clock as Kim tanked, they pleaded with a tournament official to pause the clock but to no avail.

Kim eventually folded. "Quads. Show one time, it's a small tournament," Martin Kabrhel said, but Tircu returned his cards face down.

Sylejmon Jusaj Eliminated in 23rd Place (€1,690)

Kai Cocklin

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Joerg Schneegass shoved from the button for around 350,000 and Sylejmon Jusaj called in the small blind for his stack of around 150,000.

Sylejmon Jusaj: A♣10♠ All in
Joerg Schneegass: Q♣J♣

Jusaj was a runout away from doubling up, and got off to a good start as he paired his ten on the 10♦8♠8♥ flop, which also gave Schneegass a straight draw. The 3♥ was a brick, but the J♦ river paired Schneegass, which sent Jusaj to the rail.
