Snejberg Comes Out Ahead in Blind Versus Blind Spot

Niveau 34 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Action folded to Josef Snejberg in the small blind who limped. Ami Barer checked his option in the big blind to see the flop come K♣A♦J♥.

Snejberg led out with a bet of 500,000. Barer thought briefly before putting in the call and watching as the 10♦ hit the turn.

Action checked through relatively quickly to bring the K♠ out on the river.

Snejberg led once more, this time for 1,000,000. Barer checked his cards again and paused before deciding to toss his cards toward the muck, conceding the pot to Snejberg without showdown.

Nazar Buhaiov Eliminated in 10th Place ($21,800)

Niveau 34 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Jackson Santos opened to 1,000,000 from early position and Nazar Buhaiov three-bet to 2,500,000 from the hijack.
Josef Snejberg then put in a four-bet to 7,500,000 from the cutoff, sending Santos deep into the tank.

Santos considered his options for over three minutes before opting to fold. This time it was Buhaiov's turn in the tank. Buhaiov thought about his decision for an additional five minutes, occasionally sneaking a quick peek at his hole cards. Eventually another player called the clock and shortly afterwards Buhaiov five-bet shoved for roughly 12,000,000 total. Snejberg, who covered Buhaiov slightly, snap-called to put Buhaiov at risk.

Nazar Buhaiov: A♠K♦
Josef Snejberg: A♥K♥

A chop seemed immenent until the Q♥8♦7♥ flop gave Snejberg a flush draw. Buhaiov dodged a heart on the 7♠ turn but the 5♥ river gave Snejberg the ace-high flush. Buhaiov became the first final table casualty of the day while Snejberg dragged in the largest pot of the tournament so far.

Josef Snejberg: 9♦9♣

The board ran out 2♦5♥A♣8♠8♥, offering no help to Wei who finished the tournament in ninth place for $27,700.

Niveau 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Josef Snejberg opened to 1,000,000 from under the gun and Liviu Bartha defended from the big blind.

The flop came 6♣5♠4♠. Bartha checked, Snejberg fired a 750,000 continuation bet and Bartha check-raised to 3,000,000, leaving approximately 3,000,000 behind. Snejberg moved all in with a covering stack and Bartha snap-called, putting himself at risk.

Liviu Bartha: 4♣4♦
Josef Snejberg: 6♦6♥

Both players had flopped a set but Snejberg had the best of it with top set in what could only be described as a brutal cooler. Bartha was left drawing to one out and couldn't find the case four on the K♣ turn or 7♠ river, resulting in his elimination while Snejberg continued to dominate the final table.
