Chip and a Chair for Mokri

SandraBarbour

Niveau 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 150,000 for half of his stack and Nick Petrangelo then jammed for 305,000 out of the small blind.

With a very dry voice and smirk on the face, Mokri instantly said "Shit ... I think I made a huge mistake" before he called the all-in with the slight covering stack.

Nick Petrangelo:
Kayhan Mokri:

The superior pair made a set on the board and Mokri was left with fumes.

He moved all-in next and Orpen Kisacikoglu grinned a "yes" to which Mokri reminded him a premature celebration was no good for the karma.

Felipe Ketzer raised to 50,000 thereafter and Ren Lin called in the big blind. They headed to the flop on which Lin checked. Ketzer bet just 20,000 and Lin groaned "id you bluff, I will kill you" before folding.

Kayhan Mokri:
Felipe Ketzer:

Lin smirked as it was indeed a bluff by Ketzer at that point. The turn brought a sweat but Mokri quadrupled his fumes thanks to the river.

One hand later, Mokri raised to 80,000 from under the gun and everyone folded including Kisacikoglu in the big blind. "The premature yes got you," Mokri declared.

Ketzer Has to Settle for a Chop

SandraBarbour

Niveau 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Felipe Ketzer raised out of the small blind and Daniel Dvoress defended the big blind. What followed were three barrels by Ketzer worth 40,000 on the flop, 160,000 on the turn and 170,000 on the river.

Dvoress called all of them with and earned a chop, as Ketzer's was denied the entire pot on the paired board.

Mokri Eliminated on the Bubble by Brewer

SandraBarbour

Niveau 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chris Brewer opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Kayhan Mokri three-bet to 60,000 out of a stack of 105,000 in the cutoff. All players behind folded and Brewer reraised to more than 500,000 for Mokri to call all-in.

Kayhan Mokri:
Chris Brewer:

The Norwegian had best case scenario as the shortest stack on the direct bubble with his two overcards. However, he found no help on the runout to become the bubble boy.

"Too many final tables," he joked on the way out, having reached the final table in his last five tournaments with just one re-entry across all of them. All six contenders have now locked up a payday of €72,400.

Orpen Kisacikoglu Eliminated in 6th Place (€72,400)

SandraBarbour

Niveau 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 55,000 in the hijack and Orpen Kisacikoglu as the shortest stack by a small margin then announced all-in out of the small blind. Petrangelo instantly called and announced pocket kings before gently rolling the over on the felt.

"I can't beat that," Kisacikoglu replied and tossed his towards the middle of the table.

The flop instantly left Kisacikoglu drawing dead as Petrangelo hit quads, which made the turn and river runout a formality. He takes home €72,400 for the efforts and the final five are one step closer to a six-figure payday.

In a limped battle of the blinds to the flop, Daniel Dvoress and Nick Petrangelo invested 25,000 each. The turn saw Dvoress bet 70,000 and Petrangelo folded.

One hand later, Petrangelo limped his small blind and Chris Brewer made it 85,000 to go from the big blind, which Petrangelo called. The flop was checked by Petrangelo, who then folded to a bet worth 50,000.

Lin Doubles Through Ketzer and Takes the Lead

SandraBarbour

Niveau 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Felipe Ketzer raised it up to 55,000 from under the gun and was called by Nick Petrangelo on the button. Ren Lin also came along in the big blind as well.

The flop was checked to Ketzer, who bet 30,000 and Petrangelo called. Lin then check-jammed for 515,000 and Ketzer asked for a count before then moving all-in.

Petrangelo sighed visibly and sent the cards into the muck, then whispered a few words to Daniel Dvoress after the cards were revealed.

Ren Lin:
Felipe Ketzer:

Ketzer's Brazilian rail drew closer to the table to see the showdown unfold. Their favourite was behind with top pair and a flush draw, and couldn't catch up on the turn. The river only improved Lin, who exclaimed "touchdown Tom Brady, what the hell!"

Another Flop Bet Win for Brewer

SandraBarbour

Niveau 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Chris Brewer raised to 50,000 and Felipe Ketzer three-bet to 355,000 on the button for more than half of his shorter stack. It folded back to Brewer, who tossed the cards into the muck.

Daniel Dvoress then lost a small pot with one street of action versus Nick Petrangelo when the latter's were the best hand on the board.

Petrangelo's next limp out of the small blind was knuckled back by Brewer in the big blind. The flop brought very little action, as Petrangelo check-folded to a bet of 50,000.
