Big Call Leaves Goce Mitkovski Short-Stacked

Level 13: 2000/4000 (4000)
Entries: 45/158


Goce Mitkovski faced a tough decision on the river with his tournament life nearly on the line. His opponent, Corentin Pierre Soulier, had moved all-in for around 88,000 on a board of K8Q22 and over 80,000 already in the middle. After a lengthy consideration, Mitkovski made the call, and the cards were revealed:

  • Corentin Pierre Soulier: KJ (top pair)
  • Goce Mitkovski: AQ (second pair)

Mitkovski’s call cost him nearly everything, as he’s now left with under 5 big blinds, fighting to stay in the tournament.

Corentin Pierre Soulier: 250,000
Goce Mitkovski: 22,000

Heartbreaker on the River For Martz

Level 13: 2000/4000 (4000)
Entries: 49/158


Marcel Frank Martz opened from an early position and was called by Matthieu Noel Burguiere in the big blind. The flop came 879 (rainbow), and after Burguiere checked, Martz made a small bet of 5,000. Burguiere responded with a raise to 26,000, and Martz called.

The turn brought the Q, and Burguiere instantly moved all-in, putting Martz to the test for his remaining 60,000 chips. After a sigh, Martz called and both hands were revealed:

  • Marcel Frank Martz: 99 (set of nines)
  • Matthieu Noel Burguiere: Q10 (top pair with an open-ended straight draw)

With Martz ahead, the river turned the tables as the dealer revealed the 6, completing Burguiere’s straight and delivering a crushing blow to Martz’s set. A nightmare river for the German, as Burguiere scooped up the pot.

Matthieu Noel Burguiere: 420,000
Marcel Frank Martz: 0

The Cooler Got Cooled

Level 12: 1500/3000 (3000)
Entries: 55/158

Vasyl Vorynka found himself heads-up in a 3-bet pot against Latvia’s Alexandrs Golubevs on a 1074 flop. Vorynka led out with a bet of 30,000, which Golubevs called without hesitation.

The turn brought the Q, giving Vorynka two pair. He shoved all-in for over 70,000 and his opponent snap-called – both players revealed their hands:

  • Vasyl Vorynka: Q10 (two pair)
  • Alexandrs Golubevs: AA (overpair with a flush draw)

Golubevs said, “Well, I’m gonna need a heart.” His wish was granted as the river delivered the 2, completing his flush and securing the pot, leaving Vorynka’s two-pair second best.

Alexandrs Golubevs: 320,000
Vasyl Vorynka: 0

Tastanis Turns Up the Heat

Level 11: 1000/2500 (2500)
Entries: 62/158


An intriguing hand played out between Michail Tastanis and Corentin Pierre Soulier (pictured below). Soulier opened the pot and called Tastanis’s 3-bet to 14,000, setting the stage for a strategic showdown.

The flop came 10A7, and after Soulier checked, Tastanis responded with an unusually small bet of just one blind. The turn brought the 7, pairing the board, and this time Tastanis upped the pressure with a sizable bet of 26,500. Soulier took his time but eventually made the call.

When the river 3 landed, Soulier snap-checked, and Tastanis fired out 77,000. After a few moments of contemplation, Soulier decided to muck his hand, giving Tastanis the pot.

Michail Tastani: 240,000
Corentin Pierre Soulier: 120,000

How The Tables Turn

Level 11: 1000/2500 (2500)
Entries: 70/158


Daniele Grasso went all-in from under the gun for 43,000, and Benedetto Caruso made the call from the cutoff.

Caruso was covering by only 10 big blind and they both went to showdown:

Daniele Grasso: AK
Benedetto Caruso: AQ
The flop came 93Q, giving Caruso a pair of Queens and putting Grasso on the back foot. The turn 3 offered Grasso a glimmer of hope with a spade flush draw, but the river wasn’t a spade. Instead, it brought the K, giving Grasso the winning hand and a crucial double-up.

Daniele Grasso: 91,000
Benedetto Caruso: 24,000
