Sergej Barbarez Eliminated in 8th Place ($21,172)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Sergej Barbarez

Chun Law raised to 75,000 from the cutoff. Sergej Barbarez three-bet to 270,000 on the button, more than half his stack. Law called and both players saw the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop appear.

Law checked, Barbarez put the rest in and Law snap-called.

Barbarez: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Law: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Both players had flopped trip aces with Barbarez holding the lead with ace-king. The former professional soccer player improved to a full house with the {2-Clubs} on the turn. Law could still win by pairing one of his kickers and did so with the {J-Hearts} on the river.

Barbarez stood up from the table and held his hands against his head in disbelief. The German with Bosnian roots, who played 47 matches for the Bosnian national soccer team, will have to try another time to capture his first bracelet. He received $21,172 for his deep run.

Silow Nearly Triples

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Oskar Silow opened from late position to 105,000, leaving only 65,000 behind. Loren Klein called on the button, as did Chun Law in the big blind.

The flop fanned out {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Silow moved all in. Just Law called.

Silow: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Law: {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The board completed with {q-Spades}{2-Spades} and Silow made a backdoor flush to double up.

Klein: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Batow was the only one to pair up with his hole cards.

Loren Klein raised to 90,000 from under the gun and Timothy Batow defended his big blind. The flop was {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Batow lead out with a pot-sized bet of 200,000, nearly all of his remaining chips. Klein called in position to see the {K-Spades} land on the turn.

Batow committed his last 50,000 and Klein called.

Batow: {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Klein: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Batow's two pair were the underdog against Klein's nut flush, and the {2-Diamonds} river brought no help.

The 2015 Dragonball Z TGC world champion and World of Warcraft TGC champion's run proved his merit in yet another cardgame, and he received $28,066 for his seventh-place finish.

Jordan Spurlin

With the Run it Up Legion behind him, Jordan Spurlin was unable to get any help from the board and has been eliminated in fifth place, earning his second career WSOP cash, worth $51,559.

Spurlin raised pot preflop and was three-bet by Jeff Williams, enough to put Spurlin all in. Spurlin called.

Spurlin: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Williams: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Spurlin took his leave, joining his friends on the rail.
