Aleksandr "Evnomiya" Mordvinov Unlucky on the River

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Russias Aleksandr "Evnomiya" Mordvinov is no more in this $2,100 Super XL High Roller. Folded around to Austrian player "88TIGER889" in the small blind he put Mordvinov to the test for 34,656 chips. The Russian woke up with {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and called it off, but a {7-Clubs} on the river improved the {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} of "88TIGER889" to the winning hand, and Mordvinov exited just a few spots shy of the money.

Lawrence "cjacksallin" Cheung Lets it Go

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Romanian player "glezna23" raised it up to 8,000 from early position and only Lawrence "cjacksallin" Cheung in the small blind called. The flop landed {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and now Cheung led for 8,000, before calling the raise of 14,000 from his opponent.

The turn came {K-Clubs}, and this time Cheung opted for a check-minraise to 45,400. "glezna23" thought about it for a few seconds before jamming for 113,353 total, and that was enough to take down the pot.

Hand-for-hand Play Commenced

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 625 ante

Argentina's "progree69" has just left the tournament in 29th after getting the money in preflop with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} against the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} of "pintofbeer44" and not getting there. The remaining 28 players are now hand-for-hand.

Power Poker

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 625 ante

The bigger stacks have really turned up the aggression since the hand-for-hand mode was announced, and especially Fabrizio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez is thriving at this point in time.

First he four-bet to 62.500 over a raise from Jonathan "chut_up" Van Fleet and a reraise from Pim "SuprNintend0" de Goede, and the very next hand he took a big lunch out of Pascal "Paeffchen" Hartmann, when the {9-Spades}{3-Spades} of Gonzalez made trips on the turn and got paid on two streets.

Pascal Hartmann

Pascal "Paeffchen" Hartmann is the bubble boy at this Event #28 $350,000 Gurantee - High Roller at the 2017 Super XL Series on 888poker.

Preflop Hartmann got his 20 big blinds in with {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}, but the aggressive Fabrizio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez had found {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} this time around, and the aces held up for the big pot.

After that pot Gonzalez is by far the biggest stack, with almost twice as much as Marton "WorldIsOurs" Czuczor in second place.
