Michael Wiertzema has busted two players by taking their chips throughout several hands and one of them was Dennis Brutscher. One table over, Markus Hofer just won a small pot by check-raising the flop from 2,000 to 4,500.
Jaroslav Peter as well as Robert Schulz have also taken their seats by now. Peter took down the €330 Rozvadov Cup last night.
Anthony Ghamrawi raised to 400 and was called by two players including Alexandru Farcasanu. The player in the big blind then raised to 1,725 and Ghamrawi as well as Farcasanu both called. The flop came and the big blind checked, Ghamrawi bet 2,625 and only the Romanian called.
On the turn, Ghamrawi bet 4,600 and then folded to a raise worth 11,600 by his opponent.
Hussein Dhaini, Viorel Gabriel Gavrila and Elena Litvinyuk have all been eliminated early on as well. Dhaini fell on the table of Feryat Toprakli without sending his chips to the German. Litvinyuk has sweet memories of the King's Casino in Rozvadov after winning the Ladies Event of the World Series of Poker Circuit back in November.
On the river, Ronny Voth checked out of the small blind and his opponent in the cutoff made it 2,900 to go. Voth then squeezed to 8,900 and the player in the cutoff gave it a lot of thought before making the call. Voth showed for a full house and that scooped the pot.
Fellow German Stefan Scharer however has been eliminated.
On the turn, Dragoslav Timarac faced the check of an opponent in early position and bet 1,600 from the button. His opponent called and checked again the river. Timarac now bet 3,100 and was eventually paid off to flip over . "Just the nuts?" the opponent asked.
Timarac grinned back. "Just. Why would I bet without the nuts?"
Bahador Azad opened the action and a short stack shoved for eight big blinds. Petr Jelinek then raised from one seat over and Azad reraised with pocket aces to see Jelinek get his stack in with pocket queens. The blank board provided no help and that was it for the Czech.
Marc Radgen, who finished 13th in this event one year ago, has qualified again via PokerStars. Another Marc just entered, Goschel that is. He got into a pot on the turn when his opponent check-raised from 2,100 to 5,100. Goschel called and the river saw the check of the opponent.
Goschel moved all in for what looked like 15,000 and that enforced a fold. Two other German-speaking players are thriving right now: Jonas Lauck at the same table as well as Hannes Speiser.
