Sibgatova and Chisu Chop Up Wozniak

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Danut Chisu opened to 165,000 from under the gun and Alisa Sibgatova moved all in from the next seat over for approximately 900,000. Mateusz Wozniak called off from middle position for his stack of approximately 700,000 and Chisu, covering both players, made the call.

Mateusz Wozniak: 1010 All in
Alisa Sibgatova: AK All in
Danut Chisu: AK

The K34 flop left Wozniak drawing to just two outs. He couldn't catch a ten on the 5 turn or 7 river and was sent to the river while Sibgatova and Chisu chopped up the last of his chips.

Hot Start for Lybaert

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Bart Lybaert
Bart Lybaert

Felipe Ketzer opened to 125,000 from the hijack and was called by Bart Lybaert in the cutoff and Danut Chisu on the button before Maciej Komorowski raised to 525,000 from the small blind. Ketzer folded and Lybaert moved all in, covering both remaining opponents who each had approximately 1,800,000. Chisu got out of the way while Komorowski made the call to put himself at risk.

Maciej Komorowski: AxQx All in
Bart Lybaert: AQ

A chop seemed destined until the board ran out 2KK75 to give Lybaert the nut-flush and send Komorowski to the rail in brutal fashion.

Early Exits

Cankurtaranli Reduces the Field by One

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 264JK and roughly 1,800,000 already in the middle, Tahsin Cankurtaranli checked from out of position and Kemal Aslan moved all in for 400,000. Cankurtaranli made the call.

Cankurtaranli tabled AK for two pair which was enough to send Aslan to the rail and drag in a massive pot.

Stanciu Spikes the River to Double Through Pateychuk

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation Traian Stanciu found himself all in for approximately 400,000 from the small blind and was up against Andrey Pateychuk in middle position who held a covering stack.

Traian Stanciu: K10 All in
Andrey Pateychuk: A10

Stanciu was in rough shape against the bigger ten and found no help on the 264 flop. The J turn was also a brick but the K river gave Stanciu top pair to secure a full double up.

Elsewhere in the tournament area, Nenad Dukic was recently eliminated.
