Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With around 35,000 in the middle to the K♣6♣2♥ flop, Yunho Choi got a short stack in with the A♦K♦J♣7♠.

The J♦ turn improved Choi but the A♠ river propelled Kabrhel back into the lead with a set of aces.

More Late Night Jumpers

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Quan Zhou was eliminated once more and didn't opt to buy back in with several other contenders following suit.

On Zhou's last table, Fahredin Mustafov bet big for 75,000 on the A♠K♠Q♠A♣5♣ river and took it down uncontested.

Harry Casagrande then arrived on a re-entry before Leonid Yanovski bet the K♠J♥8♥3♥10♦ river for 10,000.

"To give to you or not ... " Mustafov murmured and settled on "I fold a set and straight," flashing 10x10x9x7x.

Alioto Felted by Kabrhel

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel on the button elected to call a pot-sized raise by Piero Alioto, who had bumped it up to 19,000 from the big blind.

Alioto bet the pot for 43,500 on the A♠8♠5♣ flop for Karbhel to call and got his last 16,000 in after the 4♣ turn, earning a silent call from Kabrhel without any speech play.

Piero Alioto: A♥K♦K♣8♥
Martin Kabrhel: K♠J♦9♠6♠

Kabrhel had a gutshot and flush draw, both of which he hit on the 7♠ river.

Sadovyi Eliminated by Gonzales

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The cards were already turned over with Oleksandr Sadovyi all-in and at risk holding the A♦K♣Q♣10♥. He was up against Inaki Gonzales with the A♥K♥K♠J♥ and picked up various straight outs on the J♦10♦7♥ flop.

However, nothing changed on the 3♦ turn and 3♣ river to knock out Sadovyi.

Zanasi Still On Top

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

While the late stages have been quite frantic unlike the earlier levels, one particular aspect has remained the same. Massimiliano Zanasi reigns atop the leaderboard by some margin and maintains the lead without engaging in any major pots.

The latest hand saw him bet 5,000 on the 7♠7♥2♦ flop and Nikolaos Lampropoulos folded.
