Gutierrez Guts Chidwick as Bubble Arrives

frankvisser

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

Stephen Chidwick put in his last 200,000 chips from under the gun and was looked up by Elias Gutierrez in the small blind.

Stephen Chidwick: A♥Q♠
Elias Gutierrez: J♠8♦

The 10♠8♠5♠ flop gave Gutierrez a pair, but Chidwick was still live with a flush draw and overcards. However, neither the 6♣ turn nor the 10♦ river brought him relief, and he quickly sought the exit.

Fourteen players remained after the completion of this hand, meaning that play would go hand-for-hand as 13 players receive a cash payout.

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

Mike Watson raised to 40,000 from under the gun before Joakim Andersson three-bet to 90,000 from the next seat over. The action folded back to Watson, who made the call.

Andersson continued for 45,000 on the 2♥9♥Q♦ flop, and Watson followed with a check-call. On the 10♦ turn, Watson checked again after which Andersson jammed all in for his remaining 160,000 chips.

Watson snap called with the covering stack, leading to a showdown.

Joakim Andersson: A♥A♣
Mike Watson: K♦J♦

Watson had turned a straight and the fate of Andersson's aces was already sealed. The K♥ river rolled off as he was the first player to head to the payout desk.

Atanas Malinov: K♠Q♣
Elias Gutierrez: A♥9♠

Malinov stood up from his seat as the flop came 8♠Q♦6♠, giving him top pair. The 3♥ turn kept him in the lead, but the A♦ fell on the river to give Gutierrez a pair of aces and sent Malinov to the rail in 12th place.

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

Thomas Boivin raised to 40,000 from under the gun, receiving a call from Quan Zhou in the small blind. Serg Reixach then squeezed in a three-bet to 180,000 from the big blind, after which Boivin moved all in for 765,000.

Zhou quickly got out of the way but Reixach instantly called as the cards were flipped over.

Thomas Boivin: K♦K♣
Sergi Reixach: A♦A♣

The ultimate cooler had happened, and it was looking like Reixach would scoop up the monster pot when the board ran out 6♦Q♦2♦10♣. However, the K♥ river saw Boivin hit one of his two outs to claim it all.

Reixach was left with 20 big blinds to play with while Boivin obtained 80 of them.

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

Mike Watson raised his button to 55,000 and got both blinds Sirzat Hissou and Elias Gutierrez to come along with him. The flop was spread 10♠6♦2♥ and the action was checked to Watson.

He fired a bet of 50,000 chips, which Hissou raised to 130,000. Gutierrez quickly folded, but Watson stuck around and called.

The Q♥ turn saw Hissou revert to a check, after which Watson elected to bet 200,000 chips. Hissou slid in the same amount for a call before the 5♥ river was checked down by both.

Hissou tabled K♥10♣ for a pair of tens and it was enough to rake in the pot as Watson's hand hit the muck.

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

Adrian Mateos raised to 50,000 in the hijack, then called when Elias Gutierrez moved all in for 675,000 in the small blind.

Elias Gutierrez: A♥K♦
Adrian Mateos: 8♥8♦

Mateos remained ahead on the 5♠Q♥Q♣ flop, but Gutierrez hit the A♠ on the turn. The river was the 4♦ and Gutierrez doubled up, leaving Mateos on an extreme short stack.

Mateos recouped some of those chips the next hand when he defended his big blind against a raise of 50,000 from Mike Watson under the gun.

The flop was Q♥A♣5♠ and Watson continued for 25,000. Mateos called and the Q♠ fell on the turn. Mateos led out for 25,000 and Watson called.

The river came the K♦ and Mateos moved all in for 75,000. Watson called with A♦7♣, but Mateos showed J♥10♣ for a rivered straight to double up.

Jakob Miegel raised to 60,000 on the button and Aurelien Russo called in the big blind.

The flop came 6♣5♥K♠ and Miegel continued for 30,000. Russo called and the 9♣ fell on the turn.

Miegel then moved all in and Russo tanked for a minute before calling for his last 100,000. He showed 9♠7♠ for a pair of nines, while Miegel had Q♦10♣ for a straight draw.

The 8♣ turn failed to improve Miegel and he handed over the double up.

Jean-Noel Thorel: A♦2♦

Boivin then moved all in and Miegel called for his last 330,000 with A♠10♦ for a full house. Boivin, though, had K♥Q♦ for a higher full house to send Miegel to the rail.

The remaining nine players are drawing for seats at the final table.
