Quads for Bujtas; Volkmann Out
Before the blinds went up, Laszlo Bujtas opened on the button and Bruno Volkmann defended the big blind.
The flop saw Volkmann check-raise a bet of 4,500 up to 12,000. Bujtas called.
The duo checked the turn to the river, and the rest of Bujtas' 32,000 chips went into the middle.
Volkmann held for a boat, but it was no good as Bujtas revealed for quads to take the pot, while Volkmann was left with only 4,000 chips.
On the next hand, Bujtas opened to 5,500 in the cutoff, Aleksejs Ponakovs flat-called on the button, Volkmann got his chips in, and Paul Phua defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned the flop, action checked to Ponakovs who bet 4,500, and both opponents folded.
