Victor Tyurin Eliminated in 15th Place (€8,000)

Level 24 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Victor Tyurin raised to 1.5 million and fellow Russian Albert Skobelev called from the big blind. On a flop of {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Skobelev check-called a bet of 1.5 million and checked again the {10-Spades} turn. Tyurin bet four million and Skobelev check-raised to eight million before Tyurin moved all in for what appeared to be 15 million.

Skobelev called to set up the following showdown:

Victor Tyurin: {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Albert Skobelev: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

The {J-Hearts} on the river restored the preflop order and improved Skobelev to a straight, eliminating Tyurin in 15th place for €8,000. "Tournaments are stupid," Tyurin said on his way out.

Gerald Karlic opened for 1,200,000 and Josef Šnejberg raised to 3,300,000.

Aleksandar Tomovic moved all in and with Karlic quickly folding Šnejberg snap called to put Tomovic at risk.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Tomovic found the double he had been patiently waiting for.

Jack Sinclair picks up a much-needed double
Jack Sinclair picks up a much-needed double

We joined the action on an {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop in a single-raised pot between Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Yair Bitoun, and shortstack Jack Sinclair. Bitoun bet out for 40,000, which got ElkY to fold, but Sinclair stuck around to see another card. Both players checked the {7-Hearts} turn, before the {j-Clubs} came down on the river.

Bitoun checked it over to Sinclair, who bet 65,000, before being set all-in for his entire 250,000. Sinclair snap-called and rolled over {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for the nut flush. Bitoun flashed {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for a rivered set, before the pot was shipped Sinclair's way for a much-needed double up.
