Lewis Wins the Biggest Flip of the Tournament

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Toby Lewis
Toby Lewis

Directly after busting Artur Koren, Toby Lewis was involved in another important clash. It was Espen Solaas who raised to 70,000 from under the gun. Lewis three-bet to 300,000 from the big blind, Solaas four-bet to 715,000, Lewis five-bet shoved 2,605,000 and Solaas called it off to create the biggest pot of the tournament by far.

Toby Lewis: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Espen Solaas: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

It was a massive flip for either player: Lewis would either go bust or become the new chipleader, whereas a Solaas hold would result in the Norwegian holding more than 1/3rd of all the chips in play with 13 players left.

The {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop brought the king to pair up Lewis and give him the lead. Solaas was looking for one of the queens but didn't find them on the {8-Hearts} turn or {9-Spades} river. Lewis is the new chipleader.

Lim Doubles Through Grammer

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Aaron Lim
Aaron Lim

Aaron Lim defended big blind from a small blind raise by Ross Grammer and he called 75,000 on {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Grammer slowed down with a check on the {k-Hearts} turn and he immediately called 125,000 from Lim. On the {6-Spades} river, Grammer checked and Lim jammed. It was about 300,000 and Grammer called more or less immediately.

Lim opened {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a rivered straight and Grammer spun his cards to the muck.

Artur Koren Eliminated in 15th Place (A$80,000)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Artur Koren
Artur Koren

Artur Koren raised to 85,000 in the small blind with {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Esper Solaas three-bet all in with {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Koren folded. Two hands later, Toby Lewis raised to 60,000 under the gun, Koren shoved 720,000 one seat over, and Lewis snap-called when it was back on him.

Artur Koren: {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Toby Lewis: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Koren got himself in a deep hole and wasn't able to wiggle his way out of it: {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{A-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The Austrian high roller made his way out off the feature stage to collect his A$80,000 reward.

Kahle Burns raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Ari Engel three-bet to 235,000 in order to force a fold. Engel raised the next two hands to 65,000 and 75,000 respectively and won the blinds and antes.

On a flop of {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Park checked and called a bet of 55,000 by Burns. The {Q-Spades} turn and {8-Hearts} river were checked and last aggressor Burns showed the {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Park had that beat with {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Engel raised to 70,000 on the button and Park called in the small blind. Kim Au shoved out of the big blind and won the pot without showdown.

Two Decent Pots to Lin

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Chen Lin opened on the button to 65,000 and Ross Grammer made it 165,000. Lin came back with a four-bet to an unknown amount. As soon as he started sliding in 100K stacks, Grammer mucked.

A bit after that, Ben Richardson made it 70,000 on the button and Lin repopped to 230,000. Richardson peeled to see {6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop but snap-folded to a bet from Lin of about 270,000.

Au Shows

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Ari Engel raised to 70,000 on the button and Kim Au reshoved a little under 600,000 from the big blind. Engel was visibly unpleased with the situation and gave it serious thought. Eventually, he open-folded the {A-Spades}.

"Pick one," Au gestured and Engel complied. Au then flipped over the {3-Diamonds}, which prompted a hearty laugh from everyone.

Engel Takes from Au

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Kim Au raised to 85,000 on the button and scooped the blinds and antes.

Au raised to 95,000 the next hand and Ari Engel defended his big blind. On a flop of {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, both players checked. Engel bet the {3-Diamonds} turn for 115,000 and Au called before the {7-Spades} river was checked through.

Engel turned over {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens and that was enough to win the pot.

Szymon Wysocki Eliminated in 16th Place (A$80,000)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Szymon Wysocki
Szymon Wysocki

In the first hand after the dinner break, Szymon Wysocki picked up {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} in the small blind. Action was folded to him and he shoved all in. Artur Koren folded in the big blind to give Wysocki the blinds and antes.

In the next hand, Wysocki shoved 355,000 on the button and Koren reshoved 545,000 from the small blind.

Szymon Wysocki: {A-Spades}{4-Spades}
Artur Koren: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop was one of the most exciting ones that could roll off, giving Wysocki the flopped wheel but Koren a flush draw. The {Q-Spades} on the turn didn't help Koren, who needed a heart to knock out Wysocki. The river was the {9-Hearts} - completing Koren's flush - and Wysocki was eliminated in 16th place.
