Danchev Comes Over the Top

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Dimitar Danchev

On the button, Andrey Pateychuk raised to 225,000, and Daniel Neilson reraised to 465,000 from the small blind. That put him under 2 million left behind, and Dimitar Danchev put him to the test with a four-bet to 1 million straight from the small blind.

Fold-fold, and rather quickly, and Danchev picks up some dead money to put Neilson even further in the hole.

Neilson Can't Catch a Break

Whittled all the way down to about 1.6 million, Daniel Neilson got it all in before the flop with {A-Spades} {8-Diamonds}. Andrey Pateychuk came right along with {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, and he was drawing live for the knockout.

The knockout wouldn't happen, but neither would the double-up. The board ran out a sticky {J-Clubs} {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} {J-Spades} {5-Diamonds}, and the two men play the board to take their money back.

Neilson can't catch a break, and this split pot keeps him right around 1.7 million.

Daniel Neilson - 3rd Place

From the button, Daniel Neilson raised all in for 1.675 million in chips. Dimitar Danchev called from the small blind and Andrey Pateychuk folded from the big blind.

For a third time in an all-in situation, Neilson tabled a dominated ace with the {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds} to Danchev's {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Danchev's hand held up so far. The turn {7-Hearts} took away the {5-Hearts} as an out for Neilson and then the river completed the board with the {10-Clubs}. With all five community cards out, Danchev's hand was best and he eliminated Neilson in third place.

The remaining two players are now on a short break. The chip counts are below.
