After a preflop raising war, Marc Inizan found himself all in and in trouble with (again) against Konstantin Bucherl's .
The flop was a mixed bag for Inizan as he paired up, but the left him needing to fade a deck's worth of outs in order to survive.
He could not. The turn gave Bucherl the unbeatable flush, and the landed on the river just for good measure. That's what the kids call a Royal Flush these days, and it's royally flushed Marc Inizan right out the door.
He's been eliminated in 13th place, taking home just about $35,000 for his three-day effort.
Valdemar Kwaysser raised from under-the-gun and Clement Thumy re-potted to 129,000 from the big blind. Kwaysser pushed in a tall stack of 5,000-denomination chips, which Thumy misinterpreted as an all-in. Thumy said "call" and pre-emptively opened his hand, exposing . However, the amount Kwaysser pushed toward the pot wasn't enough for a raise. Kwaysser's action was ruled a call, and they went to the flop with Thumy's hand open.
The flop was . Thumy moved all-in for his last 53,000. Kwaysser began mumbling through some calculations, knowing he was behind in the hand but was trying to see if he had the right price to make the call. Kwaysser was getting close to 6-1 on his money and tossed in a call, turning up .
It turned out to be well worth it. The turn was the , but the hit the river and Kwaysser took down the pot with trip kings, sending Thumy to the rail in 12th place.
The moral of the story, kids? Always know your pot odds.
Blair Rodman opened to 60,000 from late position, and Nathan Doudney reraised all in for 137,000 total. Rodman asked for the exact count as a call represented the vast majority of his own chips. When he learned the number, he made a sighing call to put Doudney at risk. It was a good call:
Rodman:
Doudney:
There wasn't anything for Doudney to use on a board of , and he has been eliminated in 11th place.
With Nathan Doudney's elimination, we are down to our final ten players. They have redrawn seats, and everyone's been moved over here to one of the tertiary featured tables. It's a big redraw as it's the last of the event, and the players will be seated here for the rest of their respective days.
Seat 1: Valdemar Kwaysser (1,398,000)
Seat 2: Blair Rodman (282,000)
Seat 3: Tom Marchese (764,000)
Seat 4: Konstantin Bucherl (1,825,000)
Seat 5: Matt Marafioti (357,000)
Seat 6: Peter Jetten (700,000)
Seat 7: Sam Stein (1,202,000)
Seat 8: Dani Stern (537,000)
Seat 9: Alexander Kuzmin (707,000)
Seat 10: James Calderaro (328,000)
We had just a couple minutes' pause there for the move, but the cards are back in the air with about 35 minutes left in the current level.
Tom Marchese raised to 45,000 from early position, and Sam Stein made the call a few seats over. Everyone else ducked out of the way, and the two of them went heads up to a flop.
It came , and Marchese continued out with a bet of 60,000. Stein stared him down and popped it up to 155,000 after a minute or two. Marchese didn't waste much time flat-calling.
Fourth street came the , and Stein checked behind, and Marchese checked it to him again on the river. Taking his cue to fire, Stein gathered heaps of pink chips and slid forward one final bet of 245,000. Marchese just thought it over for a few seconds before calling it down.
Without a word, Stein flipped up his miss, and Marchese's was the winner. The two men have essentially traded stacks after that hand with Marchese moving his way up to 1.22 million.
Dani Stern opened for 45,000 and the action folded around to Konstantin Bucherl in the big blind. He three-bet to 130,000 and after a short tank, Stern declared a pot-sized reraise. Bucherl moved all-in and Stern called.
Stern
Bucherl
Stern flopped a set on the board and doubled up to 1,024,000. Bucherl is down to 1.3 million.
Tom Marchese opened the pot in late position, and a reraising war left Matt Marafioti all in for 337,000 in the small blind. And he was in bad shape:
Marchese:
Marafioti:
Marafioti was dominated, but things would improve in a hurry. The flop came to give him a big lead and leave him needing only to fade running cards to survive. The turn and river improved him even further, and Marafioti flushes his way to a big double up. That puts him at 694,000, knocking Marchese back down a peg to 873,000.
