Akhundov Eliminated, Wilson Moves Up on Leaderboard

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action folded around to Murad Akhundov in the small blind, who shoved for his remaining 130,000 chips. Daniel Wilson called in the big blind and players flipped over their cards.

Murad Akhundov: {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Daniel Wilson: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Akhundov made trip queens on the flop and looked set for the double-up, but the {5-Clubs} on the river gave Wilson a full house.

Akhundov was eliminated in 53rd place. Daniel Wilson, meanwhile, moved up to around 1.4 million in chips, pulling him closer to the top of the leaderboard.

Spekman Surging, Silences Siljander

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Denzel Spekman
Denzel Spekman

Denzel Spekman raised under the gun to 30,000 and Mathias Siljander defended his big blind from a short stack.

The flop came {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Siljander moved all in for his last 95,000 which Spekman called.

Mathias Siljander: {5-Spades}{3-Spades}
Denzel Spekman: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Spekman had flopped a set of kings, but Siljander was drawing live to double with a flush draw.

The {9-Hearts} on the turn and {7-Clubs} on the river brought Siljander no further help and he became the latest elimination as just 51 players remain in the field.

Ropert Busts Lucarini

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Alexis Lucarini was all in and at risk against the bigger-stacked Corentin Ropert to his immediate left.

Alexis Lucarini: {k-Spades}{3-Spades}
Corentin Ropert: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Lucarini's king-high couldn't stay ahead as the board ran out {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to pair Ropert's queen, then give him a straight, and for Lucarini to hit the rail.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Arthur Conan raised to 30,000 and Atanas Malinov reraised to 90,000. Conan called.

Action went to the flop, which came {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Conan quickly checked and Malinov bet 50,000, which Conan called. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. Conan glanced across at his opponent before checking and Malinov also checked it back.

The river was the {j-Diamonds}, which put a flush on board. Conan led out for 60,000 and Malinov called. Conan showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a flush, the seven playing in place of the deuce of diamonds. Malinov mucked his hand and Conan scooped the pot.

Valeriano Toledano raised to 30,000 from the cutoff and Daniel Wilson reraised to 70,000 from the hijack. Toledano shoved all in and Wilson called. Players turned their cards, with Toledano at risk.

Valeriano Toledano: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Daniel Wilson: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} to give Wilson a set of kings on the flop. Toledano was drawing to a gutshot straight, in need of a jack, which never came. Wilson scooped the pot and sent Toledano to the rail in 57th place.

Four-Bet Jam Sends Silva Packing

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Eduardo Amaral Silva opened to 35,000 on the button and Konstantin Held three-bet to 140,000 from the small blind. Silva clicked it back with a four-bet jam with a stack of over 600,000 and Silva called with a bigger stack.

Eduardo Amaral Silva: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Konstantin Held: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Pulling a page from the Landon Tice playbook, Silva had re-raised with a Wheel ace only to be dominated by the Big Slick of Held, whose hand held up as the board ran out {q-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} to mark Silva's elimination.

Kamphues Gets Paid on River

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Timo Kamphues
Timo Kamphues

On a completed board of {9-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, Timo Kamphues put out a pot-sized bet of 125,000 from under the gun, leaving Karim Abdelmoumene with a decision on thehijack.

Abdelmoumene gave his decision some thought before calling to see Kamphues' {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for a flopped set and rivered full house of jacks full of nines that got full value on the end.
