Kolmakova Busts Elder; Tarlev Shoves Into Cauteruccio

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

At almost the same time and on different tables, Josito Bordas and Thomas Elder have been eliminated while Petru Tarlev took a big pot off Giovanni Cauteruccio.

Elder shoved for around 44,000 with the {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} from under the gun and found a caller in Ekaterina Kolmakova in the big blind. It was a classic flip, as the Russian had {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and the board of {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{A-Hearts} failed to improve Elder.

Two tables over, there were plenty of chips already in the middle with the turn showing {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Cauteruccio checked from early position and Tarlev shoved from the cutoff. "Is it more than 80,000?" Cauteruccio asked and the dealer counted Tarlev's remaining stack, which amounted to more than 100,000. The Italian was not happy and mucked his cards with quite some force.

Tarlev very briefly flashed his cards but no player on the table saw them, followed by a big grin on the face by Tarlev.

Cazali Eliminated; Lebahr Doubles

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Harcharan Dogra Dogra moved back to more than average while Robert Cazali was eliminated. Patrick Lebahr escaped from that very same fate after he doubled for his last 44,600 with {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} versus {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, the Frenchman made a set on the board {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Grieco Eliminated

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

From early position, Nicola Grieco moved all in for 45,500 and Carlos Vidal Barrios reshoved from two seats over for what looked like 57,000. The action folded to Ekaterina Kolmakova in the big blind, and she asked for a brief count on the bigger stack before folding and forfeiting her big blind.

Carlos Vidal Barrios: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Nicola Grieco: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

There was no surprise on the board {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Grieco was eliminated.

Leoni Among Last Casualties

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Matteo Leoni
Matteo Leoni

Less than 60 players remain and below are assorted chip counts. Matteo Leoni had started well, but dropped below average. The turbo structure did the rest and the Italian ran out of chips.

Sola Vall Takes the Lead

Level 12 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

Younesse Oualgasi opened to 10,000 and Xavier Sola Vall three-bet to 40,000 from one seat over. The next player to act then moved all in for around 75,000 and the action folded back to Oualgasi, who folded. Sola Vall snap-called with {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and only had to fear queens or clubs as the player at risk showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

The board came {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} and the aces were not cracked, vaulting Sala Vall into the top spot.

No Miracle for Hauser

Level 12 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

Silvano Hauser had lost all but 3,600 chips in a flip with {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} against the {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} of Sergio Camunas on a board of {Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.

The next hand, a player in late position raised to 8,000 and Nicola Grieco called on the button, Hauser called all in from the small blind. On the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} flop, the action checked to Grieco and his bet of 15,000 forced a fold from the initial raiser. Hauser turned over {6-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Grieco had a bluff with {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. The {3-Spades} turn and {5-Diamonds} river brought Hauser a flush.

He was then all in the next hand from the big blind with {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, facing two other all ins. The initial player that moved in had {8-Spades}{7-Spades} and Aitor Martinez turned over {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. The board came {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Martinez scooped the pot with the nut flush, sending two opponents to the rail.
