Kim Catches Broadway

Frank Visser

Level 18 : Blinds 250,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim raised to 105,000 before Johan Guilbert moved all in for his last 455,000. Kim took most of the shot clock before making the call, leaving Guilbert at risk.

Johan Guilbert: J♣J♦
Gab Yong Kim: K♠J♠

Guilbert was squarely in front before the 10♣Q♣5♦ flop delivered Kim some additional outs. The A♥ turn completed Broadway for Kim, while the 4♣ river changed nothing to send Guilbert out.

Josh Noy

Level 18 : Blinds 250,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

James Chen opened to 100,000 on the button and called when Fahredin Mustafov moved all in for 1,200,000 in the small blind.

Fahredin Mustafov: A♥8♥
James Chen: A♠Q♠

Mustafov found sound help on the 4♥9♥Q♦ flop, picking up a flush draw while Chen hit top pair. The K♣ turn and 10♠ river did not improve Mustafov's hand, sending him out as the remaining players formed the final three tables.

Hagstrom Hits the Rail

Josh Noy

Level 18 : Blinds 250,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jerry Odeen opened from middle position to 105,000 and Jonas Hagstrom defended his big blind to the J♦K♠10♥ flop.

Hagstrom checked and moved all in after Odeen continued for 50,000. Odeen made the quick call and the hands were revealed.

Jonas Hagstrom: K♦8♦
Jerry Odeen: A♥Q♥

Hagstrom was left drawing thin and the 2♣ turn cemented his exit. The K♣ river was of no consequence, as Odeen took the last of Hagstrom's chips.

Heath's Hopes Crushed

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ben Heath ripped in his last 630,000 chips form middle position and Tamas Adamszki was the only caller, with the covering stack.

Ben Heath: A♣J♥
Tamas Adamszki: A♦K♦

Admaszki was way in front, and when Heath failed to hit a jack on the 9♦10♥2♠A♥K♣ board, he was sent to the exit.

On another table, Santhosh Suvarna was also eliminated.

Ketzer Spikes the River; Shylko Busts

Josh Noy

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Felipe Ketzer moved all in for his last 190,000 from early position. Leonard Maue called on the button and called again once Aliaksandr Shylko shoved in the big blind.

Felipe Ketzer: A♦3♦
Aliaksandr Shylko: K♣Q♦
Leonard Maue: K♥K♦

The 7♣8♠Q♠ flop left Shylko in great shape, staying ahead after the 9♦ turn. Ketzer was saved by the A♣ river, tripling his stack. Shylko won the small side pot of just 70,000, which he lost one hand later to hit the rail.

Andersson Departs as Barbero Doubles Up

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Nacho Barbero got his final 410,000 chips in against Ole Schemion in a preflop confrontation.

Nacho Barbero: A♦K♣
Ole Schemion: A♠Q♥

No danger appeared on the board for Barbero, and he raked in the double-up once the 6♣5♦9♥4♥6♦ was fully dealt out.

On another table, Joakim Andersson's 10x10x could not beat the AxKx of Michael Rocco, and he joined the rest of the eliminated players on the rail.

Maue Busts Brewer

Josh Noy

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Leonard Maue opened from middle position and called when Chris Brewer moved all in from the big blind.

Chris Brewer: 8♠8♥
Leonard Maue: J♣J♦

Brewer was in bad shape and could not close ground on the K♦K♥10♥ flop, while the A♥ turn brought a flush draw. The 7♠ river was safe for Maue, knocking out Brewer midway through Level 17.

Quan Zhou and Eelis Parssinen also saw their stacks disappear.

Bogdanov Busts

Frank Visser

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Johan Guilbert kicked off the action with a raise to 65,000 from the hijack. Patrik Jaros then called from the button, as did Yulian Bogdanov from the big blind with a very short stack.

The flop of 3♣9♦Q♥ was checked to Jaros, who made a bet of 65,000. Bogdanov then put in his final 95,000 chips and Guilbert got out of the way before Jaros made the call.

Yulian Bogdanov: Q♥8♦
Patrik jaros: Q♣9♣

Jaros was way ahead with his two pair, and Bogdanov did not improve to a scoop or chop on the K♦J♣ runout, resulting in his exit from the tournament.

Martin Kabrhel opened to 60,000 from middle position before Stephen Chidwick moved all in for his stack of 510,000 on the button. Ren Lin called in the small blind, while Kabrhel got out of the way.

Stephen Chidwick: A♣J♦
Ren Lin: 10♠10♦

Lin's pocket pair remained ahead on the 7♦5♠8♣9♥9♣ runout to send Chidwick to the rail.

Daniel Rezaei, Wing Po Liu, Giuliano Bendinelli and Jens Lakemeier were also eliminated at nearby tables.

Blom Among First to Exit After Three-Way Cooler

Frank Visser

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Viktor Blom, Leonard Maue, and Niklas Astedt had gotten all of their chips in preflop. Blom was the one with the shortest stack, while Maue played the starting stack of 500,000 and Astedt covered them both.

Viktor Blom: A♠K♠
Leonard Maue: A♦A♣
Niklas Astedt: K♥K♣

Astedt claimed he liked his chances, but the final king did not show itself on the 10♣2♥7♣3♦Q♠ runout. Maue's aces held without a sweat, and he tripled up while Blom headed for an early exit.

On another table, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier was also eliminated.
