O'Neill's Quest For Back-to-Back Titles Goes On as He Snaps Off Rymar

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Picking up the action on the river with a completed board of 10♠7♣K♥Q♥3♠ and around 80,000 in the pot. Gabriel Rymar moved all in for around 110,000 in the big blind.

Padraig O'Neill snap-called in the cutoff and Rymar showed A♥5♥ for a bluff. O'Neill turned over A♦J♥ for the nut straight to win the massive pot and send Rymar to the rail.

Alex Kulev also departed the tournament room at nearly the same time from an adjacent table.

Ponakovs Flattens Mulders

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joao Sydenstricker opened to 5,000, Aleksejs Ponakovs called, and action folded to Daan Mulders on the button.

He reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 18,000. Sydenstricker folded, but Ponakovs reached for more chips and produced a four-bet to 34,000.

The preflop action wasn't done there yet, as Mulders was not to be taken off his hand, reaching for chips and putting out a bet of 55,000. Ponakovs called.

On the 7♠9♥6♥ flop, Ponakovs moved all in and Mulders called off his remaining 55,000, with Mulders at risk.

Daan Mulders: Q♥Q♣
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♥J♥

Mulders was ahead with his overpair of queens but Ponakovs had plenty of outs with his flush draw.

The 7♥ rolled off on the turn to complete Ponakovs' flush, leaving Mulders drawing to a queen, and that did not arrive on the 6♠ river, sending him to the exit.

Wang Runs Into McConachie's Set, Whiffs the River

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Heads-up on a flop of J♣Q♠2♣, David McConachie bet 11,000 from the big blind and Yanfeng Wang called in the hijack.

The turn was the 8♥ and McConachie moved all in. Wang thought about it for around 20 seconds before calling for 50,000 more.

McConcahie showed J♠J♥ for a set and Wang turned over A♣Q♣ for top pair and the nut flush draw. The river was the A♦ and Wang could only make a no-good two pair as McConachie sent him to the rail.

"I thought he was going to be drawing dead when he called. I wasn't expecting that," McConachie said as he stacked up the pot.

Zoufri Joins Exit Line

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Abdelhakim Zoufri had made it 15,000 to go preflop when Jorge Ramella reraised to 36,000. Zoufri then jammed all in for 100,000 chips and Ramella snap called with the covering stack.

Abdelhakim Zoufri: K♠K♦
Jorge Ramella: A♠A♥

Zoufri suffered the ultimate hold 'em cooler but turned some hope for an escape on 4♥4♦7♦J♦. The 5♣ river did not bring in his flush, however, and he quickly vacated the tournament area.

Rantala Smacks the Flop For a Massive Double Knockout

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

"I have them convinced I never bluff. Back from the dead," Graydon Kowal said as the cards were being dealt at his table. He proved to be a mere spectator as Paul Covaciu moved all in for 24,000 in early position. Philippe Barouk called on the button, as did Eero Rantala in the small blind.

The flop came 6♠2♣9♦ and Barouk bet 25,000. Rantala called to create a side pot as they went to the 3♠ turn.

Barouk fired another 40,000 and Rantala came back with an all-in shove. Barouk tanked for a few moments before calling for around 140,000.

He showed J♠J♣ and Covaciu turned over A♥K♥. They were both behind, however, as Rantala showed 9♥9♣ for a set. The river was the Q♦ and Rantala scooped the massive pot to send both players to the rail.

"Good hand," Kowal told him.

"Thank you. Got very lucky," Rantala replied as he stacked up more than 500,000.

Satubayev Busts Sandev

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Georgi Sandev had been left short-stacked and his remaining 22,000 was in the middle and he was at risk versus Shyngis Satubayev.

Georgi Sandev: K♦Q♥
Shyngis Satubayev: A♠9♠

Sandev needed some help but he missed the 8♦J♣6♠ flop.

The A♦ came on the turn to give Satubayev a pair of aces and leave Sandev drawing to the straight, but the K♥ arrived on the river to give him second pair and send him to the exit.

Aerts Notches Up a Knockout

[user38873]

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The cards were already on their backs preflop after Pieter Aerts jammed out of the small blind and Kiryl Asaulenka called all in for approximately 25,000 behind from the big blind.

Kiryl Asaulenka: 6♥6♣
Pieter Aerts: A♦Q♥

The bigger stack improved right away on the A♣8♣7♦ flop while Asaulenka gained some equity with the 4♥ turn. However, neither the set or straight came with the 10♠ river and that spelled the end for the Belorussian.

He briefly chatted with Konstantyn Holskyi in the four seat and mentioned he would jump into the Mystery Bounty Event shortly.

Charrat Loses The Final Combat

[user38873]

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Down to the last 32,000 in chips, Younes Charrat opted to move all in from middle position. Joao Sydenstricker on the button asked for a count on the shove, then moved all in, forcing out Aleksejs Ponakovs and Giovani Torre in the blinds.

Younes Charrat: 2♦2♠
Joao Sydenstricker: 6♠6♣

Once Sydenstricker had re-jammed, Charrat was already out of his seat and shook his head, even before all action was concluded. The mighty ducks could not come from behind on the A♠7♠4♠K♣J♦ runout and that spelled the end for the local player.

Julius Joins Early Level 13 Eliminations

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Malcolm Franchi raised to 5,000 from early position before Kyle Julius pushed in 45,500 chips from the cutoff for an all-in bet.

Hans Erlandsson then reshoved from the button for 130,000 and Franchi let his hand go after some thought.

Kyle Julius: 8♥8♦
Hans Erlandsson: A♣K♣

The 4♣A♥10♣ flop gave Erlandsson top pair and also nullified one of Julius' outs. The 9♣ turn left him drawing dead as Erlandsson made a flush, and the Q♣ river was dealt as a formality.

Julius joined the rail, where many others had also gathered since the start of the level.
