Querleux Sent to the Rail

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Duco Ten Haven opened under the gun to 18,000 and Robin Ylitalo called in the cutoff. Joseph Querleux shoved all in for 82,000 and Ten Haven made the call. Ylitalo got out of the way and the two players were left heads up.

Joseph Querleux: K?J?
Duco Ten Haven: A?A?

The flop of 3?2?4? gave Ten Haven's aces a straight draw and left Querleux drawing slim.

Querleux got no help on the 10? turn and he departed the field on the 6? river.

Bifarella Busts After Running Set into Set

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Teun Mulder
Teun Mulder

Teun Mulder opened to 9,000 from middle position and was called by Jose Gonzalez in the cutoff. Samuel Bifarella squeezed to 102,000 from the small blind, leaving himself just 4,000 behind, which got a call from Mulder and a fold from Gonzalez.

Gonzalez checked to Mulder, who bet enough to put Bifarella all in. Bifarella called and hands were revealed.

Samuel Bifarella: 9?9?
Teun Mulder: A?A?

The A?Q?9? flop gave both players a set and left Bifarella drawing to quads or a runner-runner flush.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 5? turn and 8? river bricked out for Bifarella and he was sent to the payout desk.

Till Suplika: 7?7?
Roman Retiere: A?J?

Retiere took the lead on the A?9?3? flop with a pair of aces, then improved to trips on the A? turn. The river was the 8? and Suplika was sent off to collect his payout.

Matrige Bubbles Main Event

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Sebastien Matrige
Sebastien Matrige

Boris Pesic opened the cutoff to 16,000. The button and small blind folded.

Sebastien Matrige, who had almost have his stack in the middle in big blind and ante, peeled his cards before placing his remaining 9,000 chips, into the pot.

Pesic called for 1,000 more. The two players turned over their cards as the cameras gathered.

Sebastien Matrige: A?Q?
Boris Pesic: 6?6?

The flop of 8?8?4? was clean for Pesic's pocket pair, and Matrige needed an ace or a queen to win.

The 2? meant that the remaining players were one card away from cashing in this record-breaking Main Event.

Matrige's fate was sealed on the 9? river. He tapped the table and bumped fists with his fellow table mates as he left the table.

Cech Soft Bubbles as Adamszki Cracks His Kings For the Second Time

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Vitezslav Cech
Vitezslav Cech

Vitezslav Cech shoved for his last 33,000 from the hijack and was called by Tamas Adamszki in the hijack to put Cech at risk.

Vitezslav Cech: K?K?
Tamas Adamszki: Q?Q?

Cech was in good shape to double up, but the 5?8?Q? flop vaulted Adamszki into the lead with a set of queens.

The 5? turn and 7? river changed nothing and Cech, who suffered cracked kings at the hands of Adamszki earlier today, was eliminated just shy of the money.

Sammer Shoves River

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ran Shahar opened to 9,000 in the highjack and Ferdinando D'Alessio calls in the cutoff.

Harald Sammer chose to reraise on the button to 32,000. Sharhar folded and D'Alessio made the call.
D'Alessio checked the flop of Q?8?4? to Sammer who continuation-bet for 20,000.

D'Alessio took a moment before making the call.

The 9? turn was checked around, then the dealer flipped the 4? and Dalessio led for 35,000.

Sammer waited for a second, before announcing all in for 108,000.

This put D'Alessio deep into the tank. He assessed his stack and pondered making the call.

Eventually he put the chips in and Sammer tabled A?Q? for top two pair. D'Alessio flipped over J?10? for a turned straight.

Sammer looked visibly confused and said "that's surprising" as he stood up from the table and left the tournament.
