Dario Sammartino Eliminated

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

In one of the first hands of the new level, cutoff Julian Stuer raised to 70,000. Dario Sammartino called from the big blind and the two took a flop of {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Sammartino check-called a bet of 55,000 before checking again on the {2-Spades} turn. Stuer moved all in for 535,000 effective (18 big blinds) and Sammartino called after some tanking.

Dario Sammartino: {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Julian Stuer: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The river {A-Clubs} gave both players trips, but Stuer's kicker played and Sammartino made his exit from the tournament.

Back to the Limping

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

In the last hand of the previous level, Manuchehr Khangah limped in and Leo Yan Ho Cheng called on the button. Igor Kurganov filled up from the small blind and Timothy Adams checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and was checked through. On the {5-Diamonds} turn, Kurganov bet 77,000 and Adams folded, Khangah called and Cheng folded. After the {10-Diamonds} on the river, Kurganov checked and Khangah bet 100,000. Kurganov quickly called and his {K-Clubs}{3-Spades} won the pot, as Khangah only had {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

The level moved up and Khangah limped in again. Cheng limped, Adams filled up from the small blind and Davidi Kitai checked in the big blind. The entire board of {K-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Spades} was checked down and Adams won the pot with {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Chouity Cracks Aces to Stay In

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Mike McDonald raised to 55,000 from the hijack and the action folded around to short stack Nicolas Chouity in the big blind. He pushed forward his entire stack and McDonald quickly called. "Aces?" Chouity asked and McDonald just nodded before flipping over the cards.

Chouity: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
McDonald: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

The {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop gave Chouity a flush draw. While the {J-Clubs} turn changed nothing, the {6-Diamonds} river indeed completed the flush and Chouity doubled. Connor Drinan added "I folded {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}" while the Lebanese stacked his chips.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy Eliminated In 24th Place

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy
Vladimir Troyanovskiy

Hand 1
Alexandros Kolonias shoved 261,000 from early position. Everyone folded around to Vladimir Troyanovskiy in the big blind, who instantly called.

Alexandros Kolonias: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Vladimir Troyanovskiy: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

A classic race, which got decided in favor of the Greek: {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Troyanovskiy was left severely crippled after the hand.

Hand 2

Philipp Gruissem shoved 300,000 from middle position, and Troyanovskiy called with his few remaining chips all in from the small blind. Gruissem had {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} against Troyanovskiy's {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and spiked two kings on {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Clubs} to send the Russian to the rail.

Manuchehr Khangah Doubles Through Davidi Kitai

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Davidi Kitai, Sylvain Loosli and Manuchehr Khangah saw a flop of {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. It checked to Khangah who bet 70,000. Kitai called and Loosli folded.

The turn brought the {q-Diamonds} and Kitai checked to his opponent, who moved all in for 185,000. Kitai thought for a while before calling. Khangah turned over {a-Hearts}{2-Spades} for an ace-high bluff, while Kitai held {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens.

The river was the {a-Spades} and Kitai's head fell as his opponent rivered salvation and double his chip stack to nearly 600,000

Adams Gets Value

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Manuchehr Khangah limped in from the hijack, Leo Yan Ho Cheng limped on the button, Igor Kurganov completed his small blind, and Timothy Adams checked his option. All players checked the {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop and {A-Clubs} turn.

On the {10-Clubs} river, Kurganov checked, Adams bet 32,000, Khangah raised to 90,000, Cheng and Kurganov folded. Adams, however, put in another raise, this time to 182,000.

"How much more is it?", the businessman from Azerbaijan asked, before he committed the extra chips.

Adams showed {Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for the broadway staight, and Khangah folded his hand.
