A huge hand has just played out on Table 19 resulting in our first 200,000 stack in the room.
Action started with Ignacio Sole Aparicio who opened 2,500 from middle position. Kalietina Diana smooth called from the hijack before Petrus Brandt reraised to 11200 from the button. Aparicio then four-bet to a total of 20,000, Diana folded and Brandt made the call.
On the flop both players opted to check and the turn came . Aparicio slid out a bet of 17,000 and Brandt called.
The river card was the and Aparicio bet 90,000 which was enough to put Brandt to a decision for his tournament life. Brandt took his time before giving up the hand and Aparicio dragged the chips and is now one, if not the, chip leader in the room.
In a pot of just over 11,000 on a flop of , Rene Zaffran led out from the small blind to 2,000 and Narcis-Gabriel Nedelcu elected on a raise to 7,000.
Without much thought, Zaffran put in the three-bet raise to 15,000 and Nedelcu smirked as he tossed his cards in the muck, sending the pot over to Zaffran.
Youness Ait Hssain three-bet to 6,100 from the cutoff before Allan Tirel re-raised to 18,800 in the small blind. Hssain called, then called another bet of 11,000 on the flop.
Both players checked the turn. The river brought the and Tirel shoved for around 40,000.
Hssain snap-called and showed for two pair. Tirel could only turn over and headed for the exit.
On a board that read Kasper Nielson bet 7,500 from the button and was check-called by Alberto Meran in the big blind.
The river came the which saw Meran check and Nielson bet again, this time for 12,000. Meran thought about it for a second before he slid out calling chips.
Nielson sheepishly turned over for queen high but was shocked when Meran rolled over for a monstrous king high to scoop the pot.
"Wow nice call, man," Nielson told Meran as he fist-bumped him.
