Safwane Bahri was all-in with a short stack holding the A♠J♣ and Marius Gicovanu looked him up with the Q♦Q♠.

Rocco Valuebluffs Szekeres Out of the Main Event

Nível 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action was caught when the completed board of A♠Q♥K♠5♥K♦ was already dealt. Michael Rocco had bet 374,000 chips, exactly enough to put his opponent Carsten Szekeres all-in.

Szekeres pondered his options for a while before announcing "I can't fold". Rocco tabled A♦3♥ for two pair, aces and kings, and Szekeres had to show his 3♠3♣ for a daring herocall.

"I guess he's not folding an ace," Rocco dryly remarked after Szekeres had exited the tournament area.

Nível 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jovan Kenjic was left short and jammed around eight blinds with king-ten. He was up against the K♦K♥ of Hyunsup Kim and spiked a gutshot on the J♣9♠2♥ flop. The K♠ turn gave Kim a set of kings and no queen came to the rescue on a blank 6♣ river.

One table over, Hael Al Labani was sent to the payout desk as well.

Yulian Bogdanov opened to 32,000 on the button and Al Labani made it 127,000 to go in the small blind. Bogdanov clicked it back to 227,000 and then called the shove by his table neighbour on the other side of the dealer for what appeared to be 637,000.

Hael Al Labani: A♥Q♥
Yulian Bogdanov: A♦K♦

The kicker played on the J♣9♦6♣8♥A♣ runout as the rich got richer.

Nível 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The tournament clock ticked to just 98 players remaining and the last two contenders to bust were Adrian Strobel and Zaki Hamani. The latter never recovered from losing a big pot to Salih Atac and then found his master in Alexander Tkatschew.

Hamani put his hopes on K♦8♦ and was up against A♦10♦. The 10♠9♦3♦ flop had given them a flush draw before the 3♣ turn and 8♣ river sealed his fate.

Hamani was visibly upset and jumped out of his chair, tossing over a glass in the process before storming out of the tournament area.
