Dvoress Makes Moves

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Daniel Dvoress
Daniel Dvoress

Daniel Dvoress just moved all in on back-to-back hands and picked up the blinds and antes. The Canadian pro remains among the shorter stack and he will need a double up sooner rather than later if he wants to make a run at this final table.

Franczak Surprises Stern

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The action folded around the Piotr Franczak in the small blind, and the Polish player raised it up to 55,000. Stern grabbed a slightly bigger amount of chips than he needed for the call, and threw in 125,000.

Franczak played around with his cards for a little while before sliding his entire stack forward.

Stern folded immediately and said, "I really thought you were going to fold when you started playing with your cards."

Franczak smiled and stacked his newly won chips and he's right in the middle of the pack right now.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

Sam Greenwood had 297,000 chips left when he just moved all in from the under-the-gun plus two position and the action quickly folded to the chip leader in the big blind. Dzmitry Urbanovich looked at his cards, twirled them around, looked back down at them and paused briefly before tossing in a a single 5,000-chip to make the call.

Greenwood: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Urbanovich: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Urbanovich hit three of a kind to knock Greenwood out. Extremely disappointed Greenwood exited the room and we are down to just six players.

More For Drinan

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Connor Drinan raised to 45,000 and late position and Piotr Franczak called from the blinds after which the flop brought out {Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Both players checked and the turn was the {7-Hearts}.

Franczak checked again and Drinan bet 35,000. Franczak called and on the river the {6-Clubs} hit. Franczak check-called another 50,000 and Drinan tabled {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.

That was enough to win the pot and Drinan raked in another one.

Franczak Gets Shorter

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Dzmitry Urbanovich raised from the button to 40,000 and Piotr Franczak quickly three-bet from the small blind to 95,000.

Dani Stern looked over at Nick Petrangelo's stack from the big blind before he decided to fold his cards.

Urbanovich asked how much Franczak had left behind before putting him all in. Franczak folded immediately and Urbanovich grew his stack some more while we now have three very clear short stacks.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Piotr Franczak
Piotr Franczak

Connor Drinan opened the cutoff for 46,000 and Dzmitry Urbanovich quickly folded his button.

Small blind Piotr Franczak shoved all in for around 320,000 and Dani Stern folded instantly, leaving himself behind with a very short stack.

Drinan took one extra look at his cards to make sure, and called almost in the same movement.

Connor Drinan: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Piotr Franczak: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

It was an unfair battle to begin with, and Franczak wouldn't come from behind; {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

With the departure of Franczak, who takes home €129,400, the remaining five players are guaranteed €166,000.
