Peter Jorgne Eliminated in 5th Place (€340,100)

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Peter Jorgne
Peter Jorgne

Peter Jorgne moved all in for 1,375,000 from under the gun and Aleksejs Ponakovs pondered momentarily in the big blind before deciding to call.

Peter Jorgne: A9
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 87

Jorgne was the favorite but Ponakovs picked up an open-ender on the J65 flop to bring the equities close to even. The 4 turn gave the Latvian the straight to lock up the hand and last year's runner-up left the feature table after the 3 completed the board.

Boatman and Ponakovs Trade Blows

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs looked down at A3 on the button and raised to 575,000 on the button and Barny Boatman defended his big blind with Q10. Ponakovs was checked to by Boatman on the 57A flop, after which he made a bet of 350,000. Boatman quickly laid it down, shipping the pot to Ponakovs.

The next hand, David Kaufmann raised as first to act with J7 before Ponakovs made the call from the cutoff with 66. Boatman also came along from the small blind with AJ and the trio went to a flop of 510A.

The action checked to Ponakovs, who made a bet of 450,000. Boatman made the call before Kaufmann folded his cards. Both players then checked the 5 turn and the Q river completed the board. Two more checks followed and Boatman's top pair won the pot at showdown.

Barny Boatman raised to 400,000 from the cutoff holding 33. David Kaufmann called from the big blind with 92.

The action folded to Barny Boatman on the button, who raised to 400,000. Short stack Eric Afriat called in the big blind and a flop of 1010Q was dealt.

David Kaufmann looked down at Q9 in the small blind and limped in. Aleksejs Ponakovs made it 600,000 in the big blind with 85 and Kaufmann called. On the 1063 flop, Kaufmann check-folded to a bet of 550,000.

Now on the button, Kaufmann raised to 400,000 with 109. Ponakovs called with QJ before Peter Jorgne tossed his 94 into the muck. Both players paired up on the J102 flop, and action checked through to the 8 turn. Ponakovs check-called for 800,000. The 9 river gave Ponakovs the straight, and he took in another pot after both players checked.

The following hand, Ponakovs clicked it to 400,000 with Q9. Jorgne and Boatman released their hands from the blinds.

Eric Afriat then got involved for the first time today and opened to 400,000 from under the gun with A9. Ponakovs flatted with the dominating AJ. Neither player connected on the 1082 flop but Afriat continued with the aggression with a bet of 250,000. Ponakovs made it 650,000 and Afriat ditched his cards.
