Dan Shak Eliminated by Juha Helppi

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We missed what happened, and just saw Juha Helppi stacking chips while Dan Shak was leaving the tournament area. Helppi was in a hand, so we asked Mustapha Kanit what had happened.

Shak, who had just lost a sizable pot to Schemion, opened to 20,000 under the gun. Juha Helppi three bet to about 55,000 from the big blind and Shak four bet to 200,000 with 100,000 behind. Helppi then jammed and Shak called holding {A-}{Q-}. Helppi had {Q-}{Q-} and the board bricked out.

Adams Continues To Climb

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Sorel Mizzi started proceedings with a raise to 16,000 from under the gun plus one. Martin Kabrhel made the call from the hijack before Timothy Adams moved all in for his remaining 233,000 in chips from the cut off.

MIzzi folded his hand. Kabrhel then went into the tank for several minutes before finally making the call as both players tabled their cards.

Kabrhel: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Adams: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Kabrhel was looking in great shape of adding more chips to his stack until the dealer spread out the {7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board. Adams had spiked a club on the river to complete a flush resulting in him winning the hand.

Adams now has 501,000 in chips. Kabrhel drops down to 321,000 in chips.

Vogelsang Busts Dirty

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Christoph Vogelsang
Christoph Vogelsang

Pablo Fernandez opened the action from early position for 16,000 and Mustapha Kanit on the button made it 42,000.

Christoph Vogelsang was in the small blind and asked Fernandez, “How much do you have?” Fernandez showed him his stack of about 170,000 which was a little more that Vogelsang had.

Close to five minutes passed as Vogelsang stared at first Fernandez, then Kanit and then his stack. The final decision was to put the rest of his chips over the line. Fernandez wasted no time in folding but Kanit quickly called to put Vogelsang at risk.

Vogelsang: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Kanit: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The flop of {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} was bang on target for Vogelsang who was looking good for a double up but the {k-Spades} on the turn meant he had to dodge further aces or kings. Kanit pointed to where the river card would land and made a little, “Pffft.” sound.

The dealer burned a card and turned over the {k-Diamonds} to gasps of disbelief.

Dan Shak said, “That’s about as dirty as it gets.”

As Vogelsang gathered his belongings an apologetic Kanit pointed at Ole Schemion opposite him and said, “He taught me that.”

Reinkemeier Upsets Kenney

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Bryn Kenney raised to 18,000 from under the gun and Tobias Reinkemeier just called to see the flop of {2-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Spades}. Kernney check-called a bet of 20,000 by the German and did so again for 50,000 on the {9-Clubs} turn. The {8-Clubs} on the river saw yet another check by Kenney and Reinkemeier bet 100,000.

The American eventually called and was then shown {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} for a set of nines before mucking his cards.

Just a Full House

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Tobias Reinkemeier raised to 20,000 from the cutoff and Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 52,000 out of the small blind. The German called and they both then checked down the board of {9-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {9-Clubs}. Troyanovskiy showed {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} for a full house and Reinkemeier rose up for a second from his massage with a big grin on his face and then said "sneaky" to his opponent from Russia.

Drinan Doubles Through Kenney

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The action folded around to Connor Drinan on the button who raised it up to 18,000. Bryn Kenney was seat to his left and bumped it up to 51,000 as the big blind got out of the way. With the decision back on Drinan, he moved all in for his last 206,000 in chips. Kenney asked for a count before making the call.

Drinan: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Kenney: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Drinan was in great shape to double up, but had to fade several outs when the flop came down {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Spades}. Fortunately for him, the board ran out the {6-Clubs} and {4-Diamonds} to see him double 430,000 in chips. After that hand Kenney drops down to 82,000 in chips.
