Thomas Lange Sends Drab to the Rail

Level 19: 10000/20,000 (20,000)
Entries: 140/2045

Thomas Lange opened to 40,000 from the cutoff, and Przemyslaw Kacper Drab responded by shoving his last 250,000 into the pot. With the action back on Lange, he tossed in a single chip to call, revealing some unfortunate news for Drab:

  • Thomas Lange: 77
  • Przemyslaw Kacper Drab: A5

The flop 58K gave Drab a glimmer of hope with a pair of fives, and the 4 on the turn added more outs with a flush draw. But the river 9 dashed his hopes, leaving Lange’s sevens to hold for the win.

Thomas Lange – 560,00
Przemyslaw Kacper Drab – 0

Pocket Kings – No Bueno For Tries

Level 18: 8000/16,000 (16,000)
Entries: 146/2045


Ernst Tries opened from under the gun to 35,000, only to be met with a 60,000 click-back raise from Ippazio Manno. With action folded around, Tries opted to shove all-in, and Manno decided to call. The cards were turned over:

  • Ernst Tries: KK
  • Ippazio Manno: A8

The flop brought disaster for Tries, coming down 1010A and giving Manno a pair of aces. The turn 4 and river 3 changed nothing, leaving Manno with the winning hand. After a careful count, Manno’s 287,000 stack just left Tries with a few big blinds remaining. Tries busted the next hand as he was “forced all-in” on the big blind.

Ernst Tries – 65,000
Ippazio Manno – 607,000

Andrew Corbin’s Run Comes to an End

Level 18: 8000/16,000 (16,000)
Entries: 153/2045

Andrew Corbin shoved his last 11 big blinds, only to face an isolation raise from Davide Gelardi for 22. June Jenkins peeked down at pocket sevens and decided to fold, leaving Corbin and Gelardi to battle it out in the showdown:

  • Andrew Corbin: 99
  • Davide Gelardi: AK

The flop of 10Q8 brought some big cards but kept Corbin in the lead. The turn 3 was safe for him, but the river J dashed his hopes as it completed Gelardi’s straight.

Corbin heads to the rail, earning €1,100 for his impressive run in the tournament.

Davide Gelardi – 630,000
Andrew Corbin – 0

Level 17: 6000/12,000 (12,000)
Entries: 194/2045

Lise Kristiansen, sitting with a stack of 175,000, made an opening raise to 36,000. Action folded to Stef Koning on the button, who came over the top with a re-raise, setting up a big clash. The chips went in the middle, and the cards were revealed:

  • Lise Kristiansen: AQ
  • Stef Koning: AA

It was a tough spot for Lise, facing the dominating pocket aces. The flop came down 446, offering little help. Hopes for a flush draw were dashed and the turn brought the 8, the K on the river sealed the deal for Koning.

Kristiansen exits after a valiant run, but this time she couldn’t break the aces. Koning scoops the pot and adds to his stack.

Stef Koning – 540,000
Lise Kristiansen – 0

You Know The Malta Poker “Fish” Likes To Flip

Level 16: 5000/10,000 (10,000)
Entries: 238/2045

A raise from early position and a call from the button led Malta’s well known poker player Antoine Degiorgio to also call the 20,000 bet. But Lucien Jouanneau had other plans for the pot, shoving his stack of 235,000 all-in. The first two players folded, and Antoine, feeling like “it’s flipping time,” made the call!

Lucien Jouanneau: A10
Antoine Degiorgio: KJ

The flop came 426, staying safe for the Frenchman, and the 4 turn and 5 river sealed it. Lucien takes down a pot worth over the average stack! Antoine of course took the lost flip with the huge smile, that he always wears!

Polish Duel: Falkowski Takes the Chips

Level 16: 5000/10,000 (10,000)
Entries: 256/2045


Jaroslaw Falkowski opened the pot to 20,000 from a stack of only 137,000 and got called by Marvin Dubau on the small blind. Another Polish player, Przemyslaw Drab, was in the big blind and raised it up to 80,000, which led to Falkowski going all in. Dubau folded, and Drab made the call. They revealed their hands: Falkowski held QQ while Drab showed AQ.

The flop came 410K, giving Drab a few more outs as every J would now complete a straight. The 4 on the turn was safe for Falkowski, and the 9 river sealed the deal, letting him scoop the pot from his fellow countryman.

Jaroslaw Falkowski – 204,000
Przemyslaw Drab – 360,000
