Zereg Wakes Up With Queens to Bust Verhagen

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

Johannes Verhagen moved all in for 260,000 from early position as action folded to Youssef Zereg, who had only just taken his seat at this table, in the big blind. He took a peek at his cards and snap-called.

Johannes Verhagen: A♥J♥
Youssef Zereg: Q♠Q♥

The flop came Q♦3♣2♣ and Zereg hit top set, leaving Verhagen drawing dead after the J♦ turn. The inconsequential river was the 4♠ and Zereg scored the knockout.

"Welcome to the table," a tablemate told him.

Hand of the Day Goes to Barer

Calum_Grant

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

Lorenzo Arduini opened to 55,000 from under the gun and Ami Barer called from the hijack. Action folded to Levente Szabo in the big blind, who moved all in for 425,000. Arduini asked for a count and called to put the action on Barer. The Canadian, who started with 1,415,000, back-raised to 825,000 and snap-called for his tournament life after Arduini jammed in his covering stack.

Levente Szabo: Q♣J♣
Ami Barer: A♥A♦
Lorenzo Arduini: A♣K♣

Barer was the favorite to drag in the huge pot and remained so after the Q♠8♣2♠ flop. Szabo had outs to trips and two pair, while Arduini would need to find running cards to seal the checkmark. The 4♣ turn brought in a big sweat as Arduini picked up a flush draw but the 10♦ river was a brick, ensuring the spoils for Barer.

"Sick hand," whispered Dimitar Danchev as the chips were being exchanged.

Plaza, Hjulstroem Next to Fall

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

Eliot Hudon raised to 50,000 under the gun, then called when Jose Plaza moved all in for around 300,000 in the big blind.

Jose Plaza: A♦10♦
Eliot Hudon: K♠K♥

Hudon hit top set on the 9♦5♠K♣ flop, and Plaza was already drawing dead following the 4♠ turn as he went around the table exchanging fist bumps with his tablemates while the dealer exposed the 8♥ river.

At the same time at another table, Aleksejs Ponakovs bet 90,000 on a board of 2♦K♦J♥K♣ and Linus Hjulstroem called in the cutoff. The river was the 2♠ and Ponakovs, on the button, moved all in.

Hjulstroem had 220,000 remaining and burned through several time banks before calling. Ponakovs then showed A♥J♣ for two pair and Hjulstroem instantly mucked his cards on his way to the exit.

Bradley Regrets Flipping Decision

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

David Kaufmann raised to 50,000 under the gun before Ian Bradley made it 225,000 to go on the button.

The action then folded back to Kaufmann, who shoved all in, covering Bradley's stack of roughly 1,000,000 chips.

"Do I want to flip?" Bradley pondered out loud. Ultimately he decided he did as he tossed in a call.

Ian Bradley: J♠J♥
David Kaufmann: A♣K♠

The 3♣8♣7♣ flop gave Kaufmann a flush draw in addition to his overcards, while the J♣ turn saw his flush come in. The board did not pair on the 4♥ river, resulting in Bradley's elimination from the Main Event.

Stone Runs Into Aces to Bust

[user38873]

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

Jacob Stone open-jammed on the button for 450,000 and Omar Lakhdari had an easy call in the big blind.

Jacob Stone: A♠4♠
Omar Lakhdari: A♥A♣

The Q♣Q♠5♦ flop brought not much help yet but left some back door equity. One of them came with the 10♠ turn but the 4♦ river ended Stone's run in 43rd place for €22,900.

Van Luijk Misreads His Stack, Still Busts Lipp

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mathias Sijander raised to 50,000 in the cutoff before Matthias Lipp three-bet to 400,000 in the small blind, leaving himself 50,000 behind. Derk van Luijk called in the big blind, while Siljander folded.

"You just call, right," Lipp asked as the flop came 3♥J♣6♣. Lipp checked to Van Luijk who then moved all in. Lipp called off his last chips.

Matthias Lipp: A♦9♦
Derk van Luijk: K♣K♥

Van Luijk was ahead with his kings and Lipp couldn't catch up on the 8♣ turn or 3♣ river to hit the rail.

"I didn't think I had him covered," Van Luijk explained as Lipp headed off to collect his payout.

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Clement Michaud opened to 40,000 from the hijack. Matthias Lipp and Gregory Fournier called from the cutoff and small blind respectively.

Michaud bet 50,000 and 100,000 on the flop and turn, with Fournier being the only caller on both occasions.

With the A♦8♦7♥4♣5♠ board on show, Fournier moved all in as the big stack. Michaud had 270,000 behind and called for his tournament life after spending nearly three minutes in the tank.

Fournier tabled 7♦5♦ for sevens and fives and Michaud tapped the table to signal he had been beaten. He had called with A♥Q♣ and headed to the payout desk.

Kaverman Loses Flip

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Byron Kaverman raised to 40,000 from middle position and the action folded to Mathias Siljander in the big blind, who put Kaverman all in for 350,000 chips.

Kaverman quickly called and a showdown was ordered.

Byron Kaverman: Q♥Q♣
Mathias Siljander: A♥K♣

The 8♥10♠J♠ gave Siljander some extra outs and the A♣ turn saw him make top pair to take the lead. He faded Kaverman's straight draw on the 5♠ river and raked in the pot while Kaverman headed to the exit.

On other tables Atanas Pavlov was also eliminated from the Main Event.

Jamil Wakil: A♦J♦
Krasimir Neychev: 9♣9♥
