Niveau 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dario Alioto raised to 40,000 and Namhyung Kim called from the next seat, table short stack Mick Heder called from the big blind as well. The trio headed to the Q♥8♥4♣ flop on which Heder bet the pot for 150,000 with 20,000 behind.

Alioto opted to flat-call before Kim studied the stack of his table neighbour and then raised the pot. Heder called all-in and Alioto then pushed all-in. Kim wasn't going anywhere and called to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Mick Heder: 5♥5♠4♥3♦
Dario Alioto: A♦A♥J♥5♦
Namhyung Kim: A♣10♥8♣8♦

Kim's middle set was up against two flush draws and he also blocked one of the aces as well.

The 7♦ turn gave Heder straight outs but it was Alioto who got there with the 3♥ river, as he sunk back into his chair. Heder's exit in 14th place was confirmed while Alioto doubled through Kim for 1,200,000.

Niveau 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pavel Izotov raised to 40,000 under the gun and received four callers, including Dario Alioto in the cutoff, Namhyung Kim on the button, and blinds Gab Yong Kim and Tomasz Kozub.

The flop came 9♠3♥3♦ and Kozub opened the betting for 50,000. Izotov folded, but Alioto called. Both Kims folded and Kozub and Alioto went heads-up to the 10♠ turn.

Kozub checked over to Alioto who bet 75,000. Kozub then moved all in for 230,000 and Alioto snap-called, turning over J♣10♦9♥9♣ for the flopped full house.

Kozub grimaced as soon as Alioto called before even seeing his cards as he showed 5♠5♥3♣2♠. The river came the A♥ and Alioto sent Kozub to the rail.

zedmaster84

Niveau 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action started with a button raise to 60,000 by Levan Rcheulishvili and Namhyung Kim waved with his hands to see the stack of his opponent before making the call from the big blind.

Following the 9♦7♦5♥ flop, Kim bet 75,000 and Rcheulishvili pondered about it for a short while to then raise the pot. With a stack of around 390,000, Rcheulishvili then called all-in when Kim jammed.

Levan Rcheulishvili: A♠J♥J♣8♠
Namhyung Kim: J♠10♦9♣7♣

The 4♥ turn changed nothing and the 7♠ river only improved Kim to sevens full of kings, as he continued to ascend and sent Rcheulishvili to the payout desk.

zedmaster84

Niveau 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Aaron Duczak three-bet preflop and jammed the 10♣6♣2♠ flop but received an instant call by Levan Rcheulishvili, which was bad news for the Canadian.

Aaron Duczak: A♠9♠9♥6♥
Levan Rcheulishvili: A♣10♦9♣7♣

The 2♦ turn opened up some miracle back door outs for Duczak but he bricked the 4♠ river to finish in 17th place.

There will now be a 20-minute break prior to the start of the final two tables.

Niveau 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Alexi Skoulos raised the pot in the cutoff and Gab Yong Kim repotted to 184,000 in the small blind. It folded back to the Swede, who called with around 110,000 behind. Kim already bet 225,000 in the dark and Skoulos then called all-in when the flop came 10♥9♣7♥.

Alexi Skoulos: K♦J♦J♣6♣
Gab Yong Kim: K♥K♣6♥5♣

The superior pocket pair came out on top when the 7♠ turn and 7♣ river completed the board, giving Kim sevens full of kings. Skoulos was the next to depart from the very same table as the field reached 17 contenders still in the mix.

Omar Eljach: Q♠J♣J♥5♥
Quirin Zech: A♣A♠9♦2♦

The flop came 10♠2♠10♣ and Eljach didn't find anything to overcome Zech's aces. The rest of the board ran out 3♠Q♥ and Eljach's quest for a second bracelet in 2023 came to an end.

zedmaster84

Niveau 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, the turn showed K♥8♠6♥10♦ turn. Gab Yong Kim bet and Dorel Eldabach raised the pot for more than 200,000. Kim shrugged and then piled in a stack of T-25,000 chips.

Eldabach studied the board once again and eventually called it off for nearly 400,000 total.

Dorel Eldabach: Q♥10♠7♠7♥
Gab Yong Kim: 10♥9♠7♣5♠

Kim had the nut straight by then and needed to dodge hearts, Eldabach could also hit a nine to chop.

Neither came on the K♠ river and Eldabach was eliminated in 20th place for €3,916.
