Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Bart Lybaert opened to 3,400 from the middle position and was called by the small blind. Hossein Ensan shoved in the big blind for around 12,000 and was called by both Lybaert and the small blind. Lybaert bet on the {a-}{2-}{3-} flop to get the other player to fold. Lybaert held {a-Spades}{3-Spades} while Ensan had {q-}{j-}. The rest of the board was completed with the {7-} on the turn and the {5-} on the river.

On the feature table, Ryan Riess raised and Alexander Norden three-bet to 15,700. Majid Bozakraft four-bet shoved for 48,000. Riess folded but Norden called.

Majid Bozakraft: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Alexander Norden: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for Norden to hold with the rockets to send Bozakraft to the rail.

Hassan Sey

Pet Munksgaard shoved from the middle position for 22,000 and Hassan Sey did the same on the button but for more. Dimitrios Farmkoulis asked for a count in the big blind and the dealer confirmed Sey had over 76,000. Farmkoulis contemplated for a bit and then folded.

Per Munksgaard: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Hassan Sey: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades} for Munksgaard to be drawing dead immediately as Sey hit quads.

The rest of the board was completed with the {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {5-Clubs} on the river as a formality as Munksgaard was eliminated.
