Ferreira Eliminated by Steifel

Ben Weiss

Level 11 : Blinds 600/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action is joined on a flop of A♣J♣10♠, as João Roque Mestre Ferreira checked in middle position. Benjamin Stiefel, who was on the button, opened to 5,500 and got a call.

Ferreira once again checked as the 7♠ hit the turn. This time Stiefel made it 11,000 but Ferreira stayed to see a river.

A 7♥ came before the Mexican checked a third street. Stiefel made it 20,000, putting his opponent all in to call. He did, and mucked his hand in disappointment as Stiefel showed the A♠J♠.

Ben Weiss

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Robin Berggren opened to 2,500 in middle position and got called by the small blind and Fabrice Maltez in the big blind.

The small blind and Maltez both checked as the flop came 9♥10♠2♠. Berggren bet 3,600 which pushed the small blind out. Maltez then shoved all in, with Berggren covering him. The Swede called with top pair and was up against Maltez's flush draw and middle pair.

Fabrice Maltez: 9♠8♠
Robin Berggren: K♣10♥

The turn sealed it for Maltez, with the 3♠ completing his flush.

A 5♣ on the turn was a formality and the Frenchman doubled up.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kubanychbek Abakirov opened to 2,500 from the hijack, and Daniel De Sousa defended from the big blind.

The 5♥ landed on the river, but De Sousa slowed down and checked. Abakirov took this opportunity to bet 18,000, almost all his stack. And he made De Sousa fold.

Kuru Knocks Out Messouat

Ben Weiss

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A five-way pot preflop started with the under-the-gun player opening to 2,000. Serkan Kuru and Zahir Messouat called in the hijack and on the button respectively, before the small and big blinds also called.

The flop came 10♥3♦2♦, and after the small blind, big blind and under the gun all checked, Kuru led out for 6,000. Messouat was next to act and he raised to 18,000, prompting all other players to instantly fold apart from Kuru. The German tanked, then shoved all in and got the call from Messouat, who was at risk.

Zahir Messouat: 10♠8♥
Serkan Kuru: A♥10♦

With Messouat being outkicked, the 4♣ on the turn offered no help to the Frenchman.

His exit was confirmed on the river, as the 4♦ landed, scooping Kuru the pot.
