Wiese Gets Some Back

[user19964]

Two hands after his crippling, Wiese got some back. He shoved in from the hijack when the table folded to him, and Guillem Usero called the 180,000-chip shove from the big blind. Wiese was working with {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} , while Usero's {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds} was a small favorite to earn the knockout.

The board ran out {10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} , and Wiese is sticking around for a bit longer. He's back to 425,000, and another double would put him right back in the game.

Guillem Usero	2,140,000 -185,000	-185,000

Engel Under One Million; Boyaciyan with 40% of Chips

[user19964]

From the under-the-gun-plus-one spot, Ari Engel raised to 120,000. Play folded over to David Boyaciyan and he flat-called. Everyone else folded and play went heads up to the flop with Boyaciyan in position.

After the dealer burned and spread the {9-Clubs} {4-Spades} {3-Clubs} flop, Engel checked. Boyaciyan opted to check behind and for now the pot stayed at 365,000.

The {5-Hearts} came in on the turn and Engel passed the action over to his opponent once more. Boyaciyan wasn't going to give another free card and fired 210,000. A few seconds went by and then Engel called.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Engel checked. Boyaciyan reached for chips and tossed out five of the black T100,000 variety. Engel went into the tank. After a couple minutes, he began to chuckle while staring at Boyaciyan, who took a sip of his water. Engel then dug for some information, "What's the story my friend? You bluffing me?"

Boyaciyan didn't respond and Engel studied some more. He counted out 500,000 from his stack, but looked held back about wanting to put it in. Eventually, he made the call.

Boyaciyan tabled the {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} for the wheel. Engel couldn't beat or tie it and mucked his hand, slipping back under one million. Boyaciyan is now soaring with over 40% of the chips in play.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
David Boyaciyan	8,830,000 965,000	965,000
Ari Engel	900,000 -750,000	-750,000

Drobyna Drinking Double

[user19964]

David Boyaciyan opened to 150,000 under the gun, and Martin Finger flatted in position. In the big blind, though, Denys Drobyna got that squeezy feeling, and he shoved all in for 965,000 total. Boyaciyan made the call, Finger folded, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Boyaciyan: {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Drobyna: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}

Boyaciyan could not find an out on the {4-Hearts} {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} , and he's granted Drobyna a double.

Wiese was given a hearty ovation as he exited, and he'll stop by the cashier's desk to pick up a check for €90,000 on his way out the door.

Double Up for Engel

[user19964]

Ari Engel was all in preflop for 800,000 with the {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} . He was hurting against the bigger pair for Denys Drobyna who held the {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} .

The flop came down {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Clubs} and Engel picked up outs to a flush as he held the only club in the battle. The turn {A-Spades} changed nothing and left Engel hoping for the river. The {Q-Clubs} rolled off as the final card to the board and Engel had made his flush to double up.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Ari Engel	1,700,000 800,000	800,000
Denys Drobyna	1,325,000 -820,000	-820,000

Ari Engel Eliminated in 6th Place (€125,000)

[user19964]

From the cutoff seat, Martin Finger raised to 125,000. Ari Engel was on the button and reraised to 850,000 with around 700,000 behind. The blinds folded and then Finger shoved. Engel made the call and put himself at risk.

Engel: {A-Spades} {6-Spades}
Finger: {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

As you can see, Engel was dominated and things weren't looking good. The {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} flop did allow him some chop outs, but the {10-Diamonds} turn and {2-Spades} river failed to keep Engel alive. He was eliminated for €125,000 while Finger assumed the chip lead.
