Montalban Shoves on Rajkovic; Noja Not Good at Bustouts

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Adi Rajkovic raised to 12,000 under the gun, Manel Montalban three-bet to 38,000 in middle position, and Rajkovic called.

Montalban continued for 35,000 on the 746 flop and Rajkovic came back with a raise to 77,000. Montalban called and the 10 fell on the turn.

Rajkovic checked to Montalban who moved all in. Rajkovic, with around 150,000 remaining, snap-folded.

At another table, Valeriano Toledano was all in for 60,000 from middle position as Danielle Noja went for the knockout in early position.

Valeriano Toledano: AK All in
Danielle Noja: 99

Noja remained in the lead on the 5103 flop, but Toledano caught the A on the turn to make top pair. The river was the 3 and Toledano doubled up.

"You're better when you're at risk. You're that kind of player," tablemate Mateusz Moolhuizen joked with Noja after the hand as Noja laughed off the beat.

Rauhut Rivers Straight to Bust Chevalier

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Thomas Rauhut open-shoved from late position with a relatively short stack and was looked up by Pierre Chevalier in the big blind, who had him covered, as players flipped their cards.

Thomas Rauhut: AQ All in
Pierre Chevalier: A10

Rauhut had Chevalier dominated and not much changed as the flop was dealt JK3, with neither player holding a spade. The 8 turn was a blank and Rauhut was one card away from a double up.

The river, however, came the Q, which gave Rauhut a pair but completed Chevalier's straight.

"Oh, come on!" said Rauhut, before politely adding, "Pleasure playing with you all."

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Juan Pardo
Juan Pardo

Manig Loeser bet 10,000 from under the gun on a flop of J3A and Adrien Favre-Felix called in the big blind.

Favre-Felix showed Q3, while Loeser had AQ for a flush to win the pot.

The previous hand at this table, Juan Pardo had moved all in from the small blind on a board of 108K46 and Nicolas Betbese called for his last 30,000 in middle position.

Betbese showed KJ for top pair, but Pardo had 88 for a set to win the pot and send Betbese to the rail.

Demydenko Cracks Tepeh's Kings

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded around to Tjan Tepeh, who moved all in from the button for around 90,000. Mykhailo Demydenko made the call in the big blind with the covering stack and players flipped their cards.

Tjan Tepeh: KK All in
Mykhailo Demydenko: AQ

Tepeh was in great shape and wasn't too fazed when Demydenko picked up a pair on the Q29 flop. The turn was the 7, which also gave Demydenko a flush draw. The sweats were on.

The river came the 5 and Demydenko completed his flush, cracking Tepeh's kings and sending him to the exit.

Montalban Pulls in Huge Pot After Schlueter Shoves Turn

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Manel Montalbán
Manel Montalbán

Jamil Wakil opened the pot with a raise to 12,000 from under the gun. Heinz Schlueter called in the hijack and Manel Montalban called on the button.

On the 3610 flop, action checked to Montalban, who made a bet of 25,000. Wakil called before Schlueter check-raised to 77,000. Montalban called and Wakil folded.

By the time the 9 turn was dealt, the pot was already worth around 200,000, giving Schlueter a pot-sized shove. Schlueter pulled the trigger, pushing 192,000 into the middle and leaving Montalban with a game-changing decision to make.

Montalban called and Schlueter showed KQ for a flush draw with overcards. At this point, Schlueter probably thought he had a lot of outs, until Montalban flipped over A10 for a higher flush draw and pair of tens.

Schlueter needed a king or queen to pull ahead, but couldn't find what he was looking for as the river came the 10 to further improve Montalban's hand to trip tens.

Montalban scooped in a huge pot of around 400,000 and Schlueter was eliminated from the tournament.

Jeremie Zouari: AK All in
Gianfranco Iaculli: 1010

Zouari picked up additional outs on the JJQ flop, while the A turn gave him two pair and the lead. Zouari improved to a full house on the J river and Iaculli handed over the double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Andrija Robovic moved all in for 45,000 under the gun, Manuel Cortada reshoved in the hijack, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Andrija Robovic: A2 All in
Manuel Cortada: 99

Robovic picked up a flush draw on the K7J flop, but he improved no further on the 5 turn and 5 river as Cortada's nines held up to send Robovic to the rail.

Rony Halimi: KK All in
Thomas Rauhut: KQ

Rauhut had flopped top pair, but he was still trailing Halimi's kings as the board ran out 710 to earn Halimi the double up.
