"030786" Hits Zero

Blinds: 100,000/200,000/25,000

Janne Peltoniemi raised to 700,000 from the cutoff and "030786" called from the big blind to see a {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. "030786" bet 763,750 and then called off 1,877,464 after Peltoniemi raised.

Janne Peltoniemi: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Spades} (20.67%)
"030786": {k-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} (79.33%)

"030786" was ahead with a set, but disaster struck when the {10-Clubs} turn gave Peltoniemi a Broadway straight. The {8-Clubs} river failed to pair the board for "030786" and they were dispatched in 21st place for $5,516.89.

Simao Flops Flush But Drawing Dead on Turn

Joao Simao
Joao Simao

Blinds: 80,000/60,000/20,000

Janne Peltoniemi raised to 560,000 from the cutoff and Joao Simao defended his big blind to see a flop of {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Both players checked, the {4-Hearts} appeared on the turn, and Simao checked. Peltoniemi bet 320,000, Simao check-raised all in for 967,263, and Peltoniemi called.

Joao Simao: {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Janne Peltoniemi: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Simao had flopped a flush but was drawing dead as Peltoniemi had flopped the nut flush. The meaningless {10-Clubs} was run out on the river and Simao hit the rail in 26th place for $4,755.94.

Drinan Wins a Monster w/ a Lackluster Two Pair

Blinds: 60,000/120,000/15,000

A preflop raising war resulted in "HAUKKA" getting their stack all in against two players for a 2,765,332 main pot, while Connor Drinan was at risk against Wei-Jie Weng in a side pot worth another 4,102,172.

Wei-Jie Weng: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
"HAUKKA": {7-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Connor Drinan: {8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Weng was out in front with aces, but Drinan took the lead when the {6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop gave him two pair jacks and deuces. Neither the {3-Hearts} turn nor {5-Spades} river changed a thing and Drinan more than doubled while "HAUKKA" was bounced in 37th place for $3,534.63.

Weng was left with crumbs and busted a short time later in 35th place, albeit with a pay jump to $4,100.12.

Ikonen vs. Pisarenko: Only One Will Survive

Blinds: 50,000/100,000/12,500

Olli "JeffBloss" Ikonen raised to 250,000 from the cutoff and Maksim "IReadB00ks" Pisarenko jammed for 489,787 from the big blind. Ikonen called and the hands were turned up.

Olli "JeffBloss" Ikonen: {5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} (63.49%)
Maksim "IReadB00ks" Pisarenko: {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} (36.51%)

It was an aces-versus-kings hand, and Pisarenko failed to get lucky as the board ran out {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} to keep the aces out in front. Pisarenko was dispatched in 40th place for $3,534.63.

Diamonds are Drinan's Best Friend

Blinds: 35,000/70,000/8,500

Connor Drinan raised the cutoff to 150,000 and Wayne "ElGuapoTime" Harmon responded by three-betting to 510,000 from the small blind. Drinan called, the flop came down [9d6j3s], and Harmon bet 3,898,259. Drinan called off for 512,828 and the hands were turned up.

Connor Drinan: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} (30.73%)
Wayne "ElGuapoTime" Harmon: {10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs} (69.27%)

Drinan was in trouble, but the running {4-Diamonds} turn and {3-Diamonds} river gave him new life as he made a diamond flush to ship the seven-figure double.

Mezhenkov Hits the Rail

Blinds: 25,000/50,000/6,000

Oleksii Mezhenkov raised all in for 136,635 from the button and "good viking" called from the small blind. Pawel "PawelLegend@" Babicz came along from the big blind and then both active players checked it down as the board ran out {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Oleksii Mezhenkov: {9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
"good viking": {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Pawel "PawelLegend@" Babicz: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Babicz had trip eights, and that was good enough to win the 445,905 pot. It also meant Mezhenkov was eliminated in 70th place for $2,626.99.
