Yan Comes Up One Hand Shy of Making Level 11

[user153638]

Nível 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

In the last hand before the break, [Removed:17] was eliminated from the tournament at the hands of Frenchman Sylvain Loosli.

We picked up the action on the turn with roughly 300,000 already in the pot and a board reading . Loosli moved all in, and Yan snap-called off for 194,000.

Loosli:
Yan:

It was a good call by Yan, who was ahead with top pair; however, Loosli held an open-ended straight draw with a flush draw to boot. The river gave Yan two pair, but it was no good as it also completed Loosli's straight.

Nível 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Piotr Franczak opened the button for 26,000 and Michael Rocco in the big blind called. The flop came and Rocco checked. Franczak made a bet of 30,000 and was soon facing a check raise to 82,000. Franckzak moved all in, but we couldn't count for how much it exactly was as Rocco called just about instantly and the cards went on their backs.

Piotr Franczak:
Michael Rocco:

The on the turn brought the Pole some additional outs but the on the river wasn't one of them. Franczak, who finished 6th in this event in Season 11's €25,000 High Roller, hit the rail in 38th place while Rocco now plays 80 big blinds.
