04:15 Limper as a "bubble-boy"
In the very last hand of today’s flight, action started with Mravec opening to 40K, followed by calls from Hermanovský and Fedor. The action ended with Limper in the BB shoving 296K. Hermanovský immediately called with pocket JJ, which Limper didn’t like to see with his pocket 77. The board didn’t bring the outs Limper needed, and we now have our first qualifiers for the Final Day.

Hermanovský: J♣J♦
Board: 8♠5♠3♠8♣T♠

04:00 Szatmari ends
Soon after, Szatmári finished the tournament, failing to get past Limper a second time. This time his Q7o couldn’t hold in a preflop all-in against Limper’s A6o, and the board K2A59 sealed his elimination.
03:55 Szatmari short
Szatmári shoved from the SB into Limper on the BB, who called with QJ. Szatmári showed AT and had the initial edge, but the board brought Limper trips with Q, doubling his 74K stack. Szatmári dropped down to a 100K short stack.

Limper: 34o
Board: 85J49
03:40 Lovasz out of the game
After Čerep opened to 25K, Majlo shoved his 250K stack from the SB. Lovasz on the BB was ready with pocket queens and snap-called, pushing Čerep out of the hand. But it was Majlo who got lucky, completing a straight with his AJo.

Board: 9J487
02:55 Gajdoš refuses to end

Gajdoš: QTo
Hermanovský: KJo
Board: 92Q94
02:45 Szabo out
In his final hand, Szabo shoved his short stack of 89K and found an opponent in Čerep. Both players held pairs, but Čerep’s pocket TT dominated Szabo’s 33. The board ran out without Szabo’s two-outer — instead giving Čerep a set — and Szabo’s tournament came to an end.

Čerep: TT
Board: 78KTA

02:35 Minárik big double-up
Martinček found himself in a preflop all-in clash that didn’t go his way. After Minárik opened to 16K, Gajdoš called from the SB, and Martinček in the BB shoved his 400K+ stack. Minárik snap-called, forcing Gajdoš out of the hand. At showdown, Minárik showed AKo against Martinček’s AQo. The board brought an Ace for both, but once again the kicker decided in Minárik’s favor and Martinček shipped 162K from his stack towards Minárk.
Minárik: AKo
Martinček: AQo
Board: A39J3
02:25 Gajdoš tried to eliminate
After Gajdoš opened to 15K, Szabo on the SB decided to squeeze with his 55K stack. Gajdoš made the call and showed 93 offsuit, but ran straight into Szabo’s pocket AA. No miracle arrived on the 74QJ8 board, and Szabo doubled his stack at Gajdoš’s expense.
Gajdoš: 93o
Szabo: AA
Board: 74QJ8
02:15 Szatmari steals on the river
Four players went to the flop after a 16K preflop entry fee. The flop came 732 rainbow, and Szabo led out from UTG for 16K, getting calls from Gajdoš and Szatmári on the BB. The turn brought another 3 and action slowed down, continuing the same way on the river 3 after two checks. Szatmári then shoved, and with no callers, he scooped the pot.
Level 15: 4000 - 8000 / 8000, avg. 226,667, ent.: 15/68
01:55 Lucky river for Limper
Limper opened to 12K and Gajdoš defended from the SB. Both saw a 949 flop, which was checked through, and action resumed on the turn J, where Limper bet 17K and Gajdoš quickly called. The river brought a crucial 10 for Limper, completing his second pair with JTo against Gajdoš’s AJo. Limper took full advantage, extracting another 21K, which Gajdoš called willingly. After the showdown, Gajdoš wasn’t thrilled as the chips went to Limper.
Limper: JTo
Gajdoš: AJo
Board: 949JT

On the river 2, the action heated up: Haľko bet 5K, Slavik raised to 15K, and after Szatmári folded and Haľko moved all-in. Slavik wasn’t feeling like calling and folded, and Haľko face up shows pocket QQ.
01:10 Another set
Martinček continues to build his stack, aided by his sets. In the next hand, he faced Limper and extracted a hefty sum. On a 396 rainbow flop, Martinček hit another set with his pocket 33, and the pot gradually grew until the river. Limper paired an Ace with A7 offsuit and, after Martinček’s 10K bet, he raised to 40K — Martinček made call with his set. Limper’s stack took a serious hit, dropping him to a short stack.
Level 13: 2500 - 5000 / 5000, avg. 188,889, ent.: 18/68
00:55 Meety ends
In his final hand of the tournament, he opened to 8K and found a caller in Martinček. Both saw a J74 rainbow flop, where Meety c-bet 14K and Martinček called. On the turn K, Meety fired a second barrel of 36K, again called by Martinček. The river A brought a 65K squeeze from Meety, which Martinček snap-called with a set of 44. Meety showed 98s and was eliminated from the tournament.
Meety: 98s
Martinček: 44
Board: J74KA
00:50 Slavik unlucky vs Gajdoš
Meanwhile, Gajdoš had dropped significantly in chips and needed to win some back. On a 947 rainbow flop with 20K in pot, he faced a 11K bet from Slavik, which Gajdoš raised to 30K. Slavik responded with an all-in, and Gajdoš called without hesitation. Gajdoš showed 94o against Slavik’s pocket tens. Although Slavik was already behind, Gajdoš hit a full house on the turn 9, and the river didn’t help Slavik either, allowing Gajdoš to double up.
Gajdoš: 94o
Slávik:55
Board: 9479J
00:35 Rubi out
Action waited for Majlo on the BTN who opened to 8K, but Rubi on the SB was ready to shove his 65K stack. Majlo snap-called, and it was Rubi’s pocket 55 against Majlo’s AKo. This time the pocket pair didn’t hold, as Majlo hit the board 2QQK8. Rubi didn’t make it from Flight 1A to the Final Day, handing his 65K stack over to Majlo.

The board ran out T49J checked to the river K, where Gajdoš bet 25K, Szatmári responded with a squeeze, and Gajdoš folded.

Meety: AQo
Szatmari: AQo
Board: T49JK

Gajdoš called, showing 9♥3♥, while Sadovyi revealed his A♥A♦. The turn 4♥ completed Gajdoš’s flush, though Sadovyi still had his chance with the nut flush draw.

Gajdoš: 9♥3♥
Sadovyi: A♥A♦
Board: K♥8♣6♥4♥7♦

22:20 Hermanovský double-up
Po pre-flop akciách, ktoré pekne nafúkli pot sa na flop dostali Hermanovský a Sadovyi. Na flope T95 rainbow ako prvý rozbehol akciu Hermanovský stávkou 15K, čo Sadovyi doplatil. Na turne sa hermanovský rozhodol pre shove jeho 44K stacku, čo jeho súper rýchlo platí. Hermanovský ukazuje QQ a Sadovyi AJo a potrebuje trafiť svoj trojouter alebo skompletizovať postupku. River 8 nepriniesol nič z toho a Hermanovský tak doubluje svoj stack.
Hermanovský: QQ
Sadovyi: AJo
Board: T9588
22:10 Gajdoš in the tank
Hermanovský opened fo 3,200 preflop and found three callers — Pavúk, Limper, and Gajdoš.

The turn 9 went check-check, but on the river another king landed, and Pavúk squeezed out all-in for 41K. Gajdoš went deep into the tank, and after the time was called on him, he eventually folded his hand and shook his head.

21:50 Pavúk gives up
After Sandl limped, Limper raised to 4,700, and both Pavúk and Sandl called. The flop came T♠3♦2♠ and was checked all the way to Limper, who fired a c-bet of 6,300. That was enough to push Sandl out, leaving Pavúk to see the turn K♣. Limper fired a second barrel for 12.2K, which Pavúk called once more. On the river 3♥, Limper launched a third barrel of 31K, finally forcing Pavúk to fold. Limper counts his chips.
21:35 Majlo eliminates
The hand kicked off with the main protagonist opening to 2.5K, Rubi made the call, but Medvec came in with a raise to 10K. Action back on Majlo, who moved all-in for an effective 40K against Medvec’s stack. Rubi got out of the way, and Medvec snap-called with QQ against Majlo’s suited AK.

However Gajdoš decided to raise for 15K and only Hermanovsky called. Turn Q♣ Hermanovsky check-calls 15k. River A slowed the action and after checks from both players Gajdoš shows pair of 88. After that Hermanovsky mucked his cards and Gajdoš takes a big pot.
19:40 Kicker problem
In this game, Merta and Lovasz get to the flop with KKJ. After slower start and check from both players, action started on turn 2, when Merta bet 2500 which was called by Lovasz.

Orosz: Tx
Kot: AJ
Board: TA982
19:05 Pay if you want to play
