zedmaster84

Niveau 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ren Lin announced a pot-sized raise and moved forward 240,000 in chips. With the big blind ante in play, the full pot was higher as inquired by Isaac Haxton, who then called for the full pot from the big blind and Lin added the additional chips.

The K♥Q♦6♦ flop saw Haxton bet the pot and Lin folded with around 600,000 behind.

In the very next hand, Lin got those chips in preflop and was looked up by Tyler Brown.

Ren Lin: 8♠7♠6♦5♥
Tyler Brown: K♦K♠J♦10♥

The A♣J♣7♦ flop brought some hope for Lin but the A♠ turn took it all but away. No miracle came with the 3♠ river and Lin bowed out in 12th place for $54,400.

zedmaster84

Niveau 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

What started as a multi-way limped pot to the K♦10♦10♠ flop saw Nikolaos Lamproulos check and Tong Li then jam for around 345,000. Tyler Brown folded and Lampropoulos instantly called.

Tong Li: A♦K♥9♦4♣
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: K♠Q♦J♦10♥

Lampropulos had flopped the goods with a full house and blocked the potential straight flush of Li, leaving his opponent on very thin ice. It was all over with the 4♥ turn and the 2♣ river sent Li to the payout desk in 13th place to collect $54,400 for his efforts.

Oliver Weis: A♠A♥10♥10♠
Nick Schulman: K♠J♠7♣6♥

The full board ran out 7♠7♦Q♦9♦K♣ and with a full house Schulman sent Weis to the rail with a cold deck.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Chad Eveslage opened in late position to 210,000 before the action moved to Nikolaos Lampropoulos on the button, who three-bet to 720,000. It was back on Eveslage, who burned a time bank and then moved all in. Lampropoulos snap-called.

Chad Eveslage: 2♥4♥A♣Q♣
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: A♠A♦J♥Q♦

The full board ran out 6♥Q♥8♠7♣8♣ and Eveslage made his exit at the hands of Lampropoulos.

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas in 16th Place ($47,600)

zedmaster84

Niveau 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With 510,000 in the middle to the K♣10♣8♣ flop, Ioannis Angelou-Konstas checked out of the big blind. Michael Moncek bet 200,000 on the button and the Greek reluctantly splashed in his short stack.

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas: Q♦10♦7♠6♦
Michael Moncek: K♦4♠3♠2♦

Moncek was ahead with the top pair against Angelou-Konstas with middle pair and a gutshot on a three-card flush flop. The J♠ turn gave Angelou-Konstas some more outs to a straight but the K♠ river only improved Moncek to trips kings.

Noah Boeken Eliminated in 17th Place ($47,600)

zedmaster84

Niveau 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Noah Boeken raised to 210,000 from under the gun with fewer than that behind. Nikolaos Lampropoulos in the big blind eyeballed his table neighbour for a couple of seconds and reraised, Boeken called all-in.

Noah Boeken: Q♠Q♥4♣4♠
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: A♣7♠7♣5♣

The J♦7♦7♥ flop left Boeken on the verge of elimination as Lampropoulos made quads, as the Dutchman suddenly went from favourite to needing the two remaining queens in the deck. It was all over on the 3♥ turn to make the 10♦ river a formality.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jonathan West raised the pot to 175,000 first to act and Imad Derwiche called on the button. The flop came J♣10♦8♦ and West moved all-in for what appeared to be 405,000, Derwiche instantly called.

Jonathan West: A♥K♦8♠3♣
Imad Derwiche: A♦Q♠3♦2♠

West was marginally ahead with his pair of eights and gutshot broadway draw but already knew he was in trouble. The 7♥ turn changed nothing but the 4♦ river ended his run in 18th place for $43,500.

Niveau 17 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Sean Winter: A♥Q♣J♦6♥
Matt Glantz: K♠7♣6♠3♣

The K♣K♥K♦ flop left Winter drawing dead as Glantz made quads, with the now meaningless 3♠ turn and 2♠ river completing the board.
