a_sad_goat

Niveau 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation Evan Sparling found himself all in from the small blind for approximately 1,100,000 against Ami Barer in the big blind who covered.

Ami Barer: A♦A♣
Evan Sparling: A♥9♥

Sparling found some outs in the form of a flush draw on the J♣4♥7♥ flop but the flush never materialized on the 4♠ turn or Q♦ river and he became the first to be sent to the rail today while Barer took down a nice pot.

Viktor Herr Eliminated in 22nd Place ($11,300)

Niveau 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Viktor Herr jammed from under the gun for his last 500,000 before action folded around to Yuzhou Yin on the button who raised to 1,000,000. The blinds got out of the way and the cards were turned up headed to the runout with Herr the player at risk.

Viktor Herr: 8♥5♦
Yuzhou Yin: Q♣J♦

The board ran out a very unhelpful 9♦7♥3♥9♣7♦ for Herr who would stand to make his exit from the tournament area in 22nd place good for $11,300.

Niveau 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

With two players seeing a board reading 5♣J♣Q♠4♠, Caio Teixeira got his chips all in against Yuzhou Yin who had a covering stack.

Caio Teixeira: A♠2♠
Yuzhou Yin: A♦Q♥

Yin was well ahead with top pair but had to fade some outs from Teixeira in the form of the nut-flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. The 8♥ river was a brick and Teixeira made his exit from the tournament area while Yin took down a sizable pot.

Scott Allen Eliminated in 20th Place ($11,300)

Niveau 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Scott Allen raised to 850,000 from early position, leaving himself only 50,000 behind. Action folded around to Luis Faria in the big blind who announced all in to put Allen's last 50,000 in the middle. Allen obliged, calling it off to set up a runout with himself the player at risk.

Scott Allen: 8♣7♣
Luis Faria: Q♠J♦

The board ran out Q♦7♦2♥J♣4♠, making Allen second best as he stood up to make his exit from the tournament in 20th place for $11,300.

Niveau 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Beverly Grindle moved all in from the hijack for her last 750,000. Josef Snejberg called from the button before Rene Majed re-shoved for approximately 3,800,000, folding out Snejberg to leave Grindle at risk.

Beverly Grindle: 7♦7♥
Rene Majed: 10♠10♥

Majed was ahead with a bigger pocket pair and remained so on the 3♦4♠K♦3♣4♥ runout to send Grindle to the rail in 19th place.
