Kellner Gets Some Back

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Kelly Kellner lost an all in and several hands against Lucia Martinez previously and just opened to 12,000. Martinez and Terje Sirenes in the big blind called. On the {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, Sirenes checked and Kellner bet 24,000. Martinez folded and Sirenes then check-raised to 48,000.

Kellner was having none of it and moved all in, and Sirenes shrugged before quickly folding.

Gonzalez Gets Haarala

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jani Haarala moved all-in from the small blind for just 12 big blinds with {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and was called by Jose Alberto Lopez Gonzalez with {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

The board of {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Spades}{4-Clubs} sent Haarala home and gave Gonzalez yet more chips to add to his growing pile.

Zubov Back to Square One

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Marco Speranza raised to 8,000 from the cutoff and Alexander Zubov three-bet to 23,000 on the button. Speranza moved all in and Zubov called for his last 91,000.

Alexander Zubov: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Marco Speranza: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Despite a sweat on the turn, the board came {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Zubov's kicker played. The Russian started as a big stack and dropped since, now he is back to where he was three hours ago.

Sardone Rising

Level 14 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

Alessio Sardone made it 6,500 to go from early position. Play was folded round to Alexey Dubrovkin in late position, who called. The flop of {J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} saw Dubrovkin check, but when Sardone bet 5,200, Dubrovkin was all-in. Sardone called it off.

Alessio Sardone: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Alexey Dubrovkin: {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The turn of {4-Hearts} and river {8-Diamonds} sent Dubrovkin home, but he was up on his feet waiting for the axe to fall well before the board completed.

Regonaschi, Lets Vinas Have Some

Level 14 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

Marco Regonaschi is crushing his table and just raised again, a standard pop to 7,100. The player who moved all-in over the top of his opening bet this time, Andres Vinas had six figures and that was enough to get Hamza to fold, for a rare occasion as he's busted scores in these first levels.

Vinas shows {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and she racks up 115,000, but it is Marco Regonaschi who is killing the room.

Level 14 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

Players are enjoying a 15-minute break, where some chips will be raced off.

Panchev Busts to Regonaschi

Marco Regonaschi

Hristian Panchev raised to 7,000 and picked up one caller before Marco Regonaschi three-bet to 29,000 out of the blinds. He picked up both callers and then bet the {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop for 43,000. Panchev moved all in and the third player in the hand folded, while Regonaschi quickly called.

Marco Regonaschi: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Hristian Panchev: {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The {10-Spades} turn was a sweat for the Bulgarian, but the {10-Hearts} river bricked and Regonaschi stood up to tell the good news in Italian to some friends on another table. With that, Regonaschi jumped into the lead.

Perez Gets Flushed Away

Level 14 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

Ramlal Basdeo and Roberto Perez got their short stacks in and Perez was the one at risk. Both players showed suited ace-king and Perez was asking for spades.

Roberto Perez: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Ramlal Basdeo: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

The {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop was the exact opposite, and Basdeo indeed completed a flush thanks to the {6-Diamonds} turn. This made the {10-Clubs} river meaningless and Perez was eliminated with a smile on the face. "Yesterday I cried, today not," Perez added.
