Bohn and Zouari Get Shoves Through

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jeremie Zouari defended the small blind against an open raise by Alexandru Papazian and led the {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop for 50,000. Papazian raised to 175,000 and received a call as they headed to the {8-Diamonds} on the turn. Zouari now moved all in and Papazian asked for a count but folded once it was deemed to be for 670,000.

Over on table three, Hugo Bohn raised to 100,000 and Simeon Spasov three-bet to 275,000 in the cutoff. The four-bet shove by Bohn followed and Spasov folded.

The turn came {2-Spades} and the river was the {9-Clubs}.

Hugo Bohn
Hugo Bohn

Mehdi Chaoui raised from an early position to pick up a call by Portugal's Hugo Bohn in the big blind. On the {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop, Bohn opted to check-call for 90,000 and he did so again for 300,000 on the {9-Spades} turn.

After the {5-Hearts} river, Bohn checked the third street in a row and Chaoui announced all-in with the covering stack. Only a few seconds passed before Bohn called for the 660,000 he had behind.

Chaoui confidently rolled over the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} but Bohn had that beat with the {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two pair to score a large double.

M¨¢rton Czuczor
M��rton Czuczor

Marton Czuczor was holding on for dear life during the last orbit, sitting on less than one big blind and waiting for the moment to put his remaining chips in the middle. That moment came when he was under the gun and he went all in for 40,000. Mehdi Chaoui raised to 150,000 and Jon Kyte reraised to 1.5 million. Chaoui folded and two players flipped their cards.

Marton Czuczor: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Jon Kyte: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board came {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Kyte's nines held up. Czuczor was eliminated in 21st Place for �10,250.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Alexandru Papazian raised to 100,000 from under the gun. It folded to Jeremie Zouari on the button and he went into the tank with several other shorter stacks around on the other two tables.

The clock was called on him and he then pushed for 370,000. Papazian asked for an exact count and took around 30 seconds before making the call.

Jeremie Zouari: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Alexandru Papazian: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Zouari spiked two pair for the double.

A Few Chips and a Chair for Czuczor

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Marton Czuczor raised to 600,000 in the cutoff and Ladislao Dalfo Batlle in the small blind pushed his chips in.

"Do you have more than six hundred?" Czuczor inquired and the Spaniard shrugged. Once the chips were counted, Dalfo Batlle was already all-in for 585,000 and they turned over the cards.

Ladislao Dalfo Batlle: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Marton Czuczor: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board left Czuczor with a chip and a chair. With the big blind first and fast approaching, he will have to make a move very soon.
