Calum_Grant

Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mark Helou, with 10♦9♦, opened to 60,000 from under the gun. Ramon Collilas called from the button with A♦K♣ before Sebastian Schulze defended the big blind with K♥7♥.

Helou continued for 80,000 on the 9♣6♦5♥ flop and only Schulze called. On the 7♦ turn, Schulze led out for 60,000 and was called.

The Q♣ confirmed the checkmark for Helou and he called when Schulze jammed for 215,000.

Lupuleac Bites the Dust in Wild Pot

Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jon Kyte raised to 65,000 from under the gun before Marle Spragg three-bet to 200,000 from the next seat over. Serge Chechin then called cold from the hijack before the action went to Alexandru Lupuleac, who jammed all in for 800,000.

Kyte asked for a count and tanked for a while before he folded, and Spragg quickly followed suit. Chechin, on the other hand, stuck in a call relatively quickly, with the covering stack.

Alexandru Lupuleac: A♥Q♥
Serge Chechin: 10♠10♦

"Come on, one time," Lupuleac begged while the 9♦9♣5♥ flop fell. The 3♠ turn did not help him either, and the 2♦ river sealed his fate.

Lupuleac finished in 26th place, meaning the Main Event is one elimination away from a three-table redraw.

Kyte Flies High With Big River Bet

Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jon Kyte raised to 60,000 in early position and Serge Chechin called in the cutoff.

The flop came 5♦5♥5♣ and Kyte bet 65,000. Chechin called to the 10♥ turn as Kyte slowed down and checked.

Chechin then bet 150,000 and Kyte raised to 420,000. Chechin used up two time banks before calling to see the 6♣ river.

"How much," he said to Kyte as he began tapping the felt.

"One point two million," Kyte answered, sliding in a massive tower of chips. Chechin instantly folded.

"If you didn't say that I was going to bet 800. I was sure you were calling," Kyte said.

Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Grigorii Rodin opened to 60,000 from the hijack and was called by Alexandru Lupuleac from the button. Jon Kyte three-bet to 215,000 from the small blind and only Lupuleac called.

Kyte continued for 210,000 on the J♥8♦6♣ flop and was called. He then shoved for 820,000 on the 3♥ turn. Lupuleac asked for a count and called once Kyte's stack size was confirmed.

Jon Kyte: K♥J♦
Alexandru Lupuleac: A♣J♣

Kyte was outkicked and on the verge of exit until the K♣ river gave him the winner with two pair.

"Oh my god," Lupuleac repeated a few times as the pot was shipped to his opponent.

Colillas Busts Gognjavec, Plays Hundred Big Blinds

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Andraz Gognjavec open-shipped for 420,000 chips from the cutoff and the action folded to Ramon Colillas in the big blind, who asked for a count.

After the dealer gave Colillas the correct number, Colillas stuck in the call to put Gognjavec at risk.

Andraz Gognjavec: A♣J♠
Ramon Colillas: K♦Q♥

Colillas paired his queen on the 3♣2♣Q♠ flop, but Gognjavec turned a straight flush draw with the 5♣. However, the 9♦ river bricked out, and he swiftly left the tournament area while Colillas chipped up to over 100 big blinds.

Odani Runs into Zhao's Aces

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Cheng Zhao raised to 50,000 from the button, then Takumi Odani three-bet shoved for 300,000 from the small blind. Jiri Kocab hesitated, but eventually folded. And he was right to do so as Zhao snap-called with the best hand possible.

Takumi Odani: A♦9♦
Cheng Zhao: A♥A♣

Odani found a flush draw on the 6♦Q♦3♣ flop, but Zhao hit a set on the turn A♠. The river 9♠ didn't change anything, and Odani was eliminated.

Rodin' River Shove Gets Paid by Garcia

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Heads-up in a blind versus blind battle, Grigorii Rodin bet 75,000 on a flop of 3♦10♥9♣ and Cesar Garcia called.

The turn came the 2♣ and Rodin bet 250,000. Garcia again called and the A♥ fell on the turn.

Rodin then attempted to bet 645,000, leaving one 5,000 chip behind, before the floor made him put in his last chip as well. Garcia tanked for a minute before calling.

Rodin showed 10♣9♠ for two pair and Garcia's J♠10♦ hit the muck as Rodin doubled up.

"Nice one, sir," tablemate Umberto Ruggeri told Rodin.

Guyon Eliminated as Spragg Folds Aces

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Marle Spragg open-raised to 55,000 from under the gun and found callers in Umberto Ruggeri on the button and Adrien Guyon in the small blind.

The flop fell 3♠2♣4♠ and the action checked to Ruggeri, who fired a bet of 60,000. Guyon then raised to 200,000, and Spragg called cold.

The action was back on Ruggeri, who three-bet all in for 1,000,000. Guyon called for his stack of 800,000, while Spragg folded her A♠A♣ face-up to create a heads up showdown.

Adrien Guyon: 7♠2♠
Umberto Ruggeri: 4♥4♣

Spragg would have made her wheel on the 5♣ turn, and the 7♣ river gave Guyon two pair.

However, Ruggeri's flopped set remained the best hand between the two players still in the pot, and he knocked out Guyon while shipping a monster pot of around 90 big blinds.

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

With around 175,000 in the pot on a board of 5♣9♦2♥Q♥, Andraz Gognjavec bet 100,000 from the small blind and Ramon Colillas called in middle position.

The river came the 5♥ and Gognjavec bet 175,000. Colillas quickly called and Gognjavec showed 5♦4♦ for trip fives.

Colillas, though, had 9♥8♥ for a rivered flush as Gognjavec shot back in his seat before giving up the pot.

Zhao Takes Out Esposito

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Cheng Zhao raised to 50,000 in middle position and Jiri Kocab called in the cutoff. Ettore Esposito then moved all in for 275,000 on the button.

Ran Ilani asked for a count in the small blind and tanked for a moment before folding as action went back on Zhao, who also took around 30 seconds before he called. Kocab quickly got out of the way.

Ettore Esposito: 5♥5♠
Cheng Zhao: 8♠8♦

The board ran out A♥4♣6♥3♥10♠ and Zhao's eights stayed in the lead to send Esposito to the exit.
