Tsouloftas Hero-Calls At the Wrong Time

Livello 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Hristofor Kolev raised to 60,000 and Georgios Tsouloftas called from one seat over.

The flop came J♥J♦4♦ and Kolev bet 75,000 for Tsouloftas to call.

Fast forward to the 5♠ turn, the same action repeated for 175,000 and that led them to the K♦ river.

Kolev instantly pushed all-in and that sent Tsouloftas into agony. He vaulted out of his chair, pondered about his decision for a minute and called it off for the 205,000 he had behind.

Kolev tabled the K♠K♣ for kings full and Tsouloftas' 8♠8♥ were no good, as the Cypriot headed to the payout desk.

Kolarik checked the K♣6♠7♦ flop before Awad continued for 55,000. The call was made to see the 3♥ turn, where both players checked to the 10♠ river.

Kolarik moved all in and Awad called, turning over A♥K♣ for top pair. Kolarik revealed A♠A♦ to take the pot, knocking Awad out of the tournament.

Following a limp, Tobias Krueger jammed for 60,000 and Ilija Savevski moved all-in over the top to isolate.

Krueger's K♣Q♦ chopped with the K♦Q♣ of Savevski on a 5♣4♦2♠8♣6♣ runout.

Krueger open-shoved soon after with the A♠K♦ and flipped against Savevski, who revealed the 10♦10♣.

The board ran out Q♦10♥6♥4♠4♥ to give Savevski a full house.

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Picking up the action on the 6♠5♠4♥ flop, Alfredo Vega Meister checked and Emilio Izvira bet 60,000. What followed was the check-shove by Vega Meister for around 550,000 and that sent Izvira into the tank. He eventually called for the 415,000 he had behind his bet and the cards were flipped over.

Emilio Izvira: 9♦9♣
Alfredo Vega Meister: A♠J♠

Izvira was happy to have a flip but the K♠ turn instantly sealed his fate to make the 7♦ river a formality.

Mueller Continues to Add Chips

Livello 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Thomas Maier gathered his belongings and slowly headed towards the payout desk but not before splashing his chips towards the dealer, who then pushed it to Johannes Mueller.

On a board of 7♦7♥5♥3♠4♣, the J♣J♠ of Mueller reigned supreme and that reduced the field further. Prior to the first break of the day, fewer than 180 players remain.
