Another flight 1/B is ready for you today at 18:00!
04:35 The flight 1A is over
In the final hand of the first flight, Marton open-shoved his 77K stack from UTG, and Martincek was ready with pocket AA and 3-bet to 130K. As no one joined, they ended up in HU, where Martincek hit his set right on the flop, and after the river, Flight 1A is over!
Martincek: A♦A♠
Marton: J♦T♠
Board: 5♥2♠A♣6♠Q♠

03:40 Minarik convincingly
He min-raised, and only Krulak joined from a late position. Minarik then c-bet the flop 6♥J♦T♦ to 24K and got called. Both checked the turn 8♠ afterwards, and the action was restored on the river 6♣, where Minarik fired 90K, which convinced Krulak to give up this hand.
03:30 Great spot for double up
Krulak started the game with limp from UTG, and Kepes on the BB 3-bet to 42K, which Krulak called. The flop came 8♥6♣3♥, and players eventually stacked against each other, as both held over pairs. Krulak with pocket 99 was behind pocket KK under Kepes's hands. Without either of the two outers for Krulak, flight 1A is still not over.
Kepes: K♣K♠
Krulak: 9♦9♣
Board: 8♥6♣3♥2♣7♦
We need one more player to be eliminated before flight 1A is over! Who will be the unlucky "bubble boy"?

03:10 Big pot for Martincek
Fabian opened to 30K and Martincek defended on the BB. Fabian then c-bet the flop Q♥8♥4♦ to 50K, and after a call, we saw an A♥ on the turn, where Martincek check-raised 170K effective after a previous 70K bet by Fabian, who called with two pairs holding AQo. It was not enough, as Martincek held nuts flush, and without pairing the board on the river for Fabian, it was over for him.
Fabian: A♠Q♦
Martincek: K♥J♥
Board: Q♥8♥4♦A♥5♦
03:05 Cerep with a lucky river
He stacked with A9o pre-flop against Twarog holding pocket QQ. Cerep needed to hit at least one of his three outs to survive and double his 111K stack.

Cerep: A♣9♠

Board: 5♦7♠T♠5♣8♠
02:50 Value on the river
Twarog opened to 25K from UTG, and Martincek on the BB defended. The flop brought A♥8♠5♣, where Twarog c-bet to 34K and Martincek called. Both then checked the turn 3♦, after which Martincek took the lead on the river K♦ and asked for 65K. Twarog went into a tank for a while but eventually called. Martincek tabled A♠J♦, which was more than enough as Twarog quickly mucked his cards.
Level 16: 5000 - 10 000 / 10 000, avg. 354,545, ent.: 11/78
02:35 The third barrel convinced
Hudacek opened to 20K and Kepes defended on the BB. The same bet was utilized on the flop 8♦9♣2♥, followed by a 30K bet on the turn K♣ and 75K on the river Q♠, which persuaded Kepes to surrender this hand and move on to another.
02:25 Top pair was enough
After two limps from Twarog and Fabian, Krulak on the BTN raised to 24K, followed by a call from Major on the SB and Martincek on the BB, as well as from Fabian. Krulak then c-bet the flop A♥J♣9♠ to 35K, and only Martincek continued to the turn K♥, where both checked.

He open-shoved his last 40K after he found K♦6♦, and Major was the one who tried to eliminate him with A♦Q♠. As the flop brought an Ace for Major and Gajdos hit just a K on the river, his journey in flight 1A is over.
Gajdos: K♦6♦
Major: A♦Q♠
Board: A♣4♥T♥T♠K♣
02:05 Bad timing
Gajdos and Krulak both reached the flop A♦4♦7♠, where Gajdos on the SB led for 35K, and Krulak quickly called. The turn brought another 7♣, which prompted Gajdos to shove his stack. Krulak did not hesitate and snap-called with a completed full house holding pocket 44. Gajdos chose a bad spot for bluffing with his 93o and doubled Krulak's 172K stack.
Krulak: 4♦4♣
Gajdos: 9♠3♥
Board: A♦4♦7♠7♣2♥
01:55 Flush for Hudacek
Cerep min-raised, and Kepes, together with Hudacek on the SB, called. The flop came K♠8♠3♦, where only Hudacek check-called the 16K bet by Kepes.

01:25 It could be a nice pot for one player
After Major opened to 11K, Lukac on the BTN and Fabian on the BB joined. Major then c-bet the flop A♦2♠9♥ for 12K, which only Lukac called.
