Schweinstetter's Sigh of Relief

Livello 31 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Roland Schweinstetter opened to 260,000 on the button and Iman Ghashayar defended in the big blind to see the 2♣8♥J♠ flop.

Ghashayar checked and called when Schweinstetter continued for 200,000 to the 4♥ turn. The action repeated, this time with a bet of 625,000 from Schweinstetter.

Schweinstetter then moved all in for around 850,000 on the K♥ river and Ghashayar went into the tank. After taking a few minutes, Ghashayar slid his cards into the muck.

Schweinstetter took down the pot, showing a grin and letting out a sigh of relief while adding to his stack.

Emil Bise faced an open-shove by Alessandro De Michele, who put his last 1,790,000 on the line for slightly more than eleven blinds.

Soon after that, Bise raised and folded to a shove by De Michele, flashing the A♠.

Frank Leykauf Eliminated in 21st Place (€3,700)

Livello 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

What started with a battle of the blinds with an open raise to 370,000 by Frank Leykauf would turn into a lengthy hand as Stanislav Koleno stuck around in the big blind.

Leykauf bet the A♠K♣10♣ flop for 340,000 and Koleno called before the former checked the 4♣ turn. Koleno bet 550,000 and Leykauf reluctantly called.

After the 5♦ river, Leykauf checked and Koleno bet 2,000,000 for most of his stack. That sent Leykauf into agony and he tanked for four minutes before he tossed in a single chip for the call.

Koleno tabled the Q♣5♣ for a flush and Leykauf's K♦3♣ were shown before his stack was counted. Leykauf only had 1,950,000 at his disposal and was thus eliminated in 21st place.

Livello 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jiri Kun open-shoved a shorter stack from an early position and Alessandro De Michele did so from the button to isolate.

Jiri Kun: A♠Q♥
Alessandro De Michele: Q♠Q♣

Howington Gets a Shove Through

Livello 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Scottie Howington had lost two pots to drop below ten blinds and then found the Q♠Q♣ to raise it up to 360,000. Alfredo Vega Meister called in the big blind with J♠10♠ and spiked a gutshot on the 8♣7♦3♦ flop.

Vega Meister pondered about his move and checked. Howington jammed for the size of the pot and Vega Meister folded to get shown the overpair.
