Izotov Doubles With Aces

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Pavel Izotov
Pavel Izotov

Pavel Izotov shoved his 35,500 remaining chips in from the cutoff against Aki Vihikainen on the button, and was called.

Pavel Izotov: AAJ4 All in
Aki Vihikainen: KK86

Izotov hit top set on the 10A7 flop, but Vihikainen had a flush draw to contend. Neither the 3 turn nor the Q river brought another heart, however, seeing Izotov find a vital double-up.

Usterud Leads Into Cowen as Krzesinski Sits Down

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Picking up the action on a 4532 turn, Stian Usterud checked from the small blind to Robert Cowen in the big blind, who fired a bet of 30,000.

Usterud called to the 3 river, where he promptly led for a pot-sized bet of 91,000. Cowen needed one time bank before he called; however, he started shaking his head as Usterud tabled 7722 for a rivered full house.

Cowen's cards eventually hit the muck. In the meantime, Tomasz Krzesinski had taken his seat as the newest entry of the tournament.

Kraft Books Another Exit

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Florian Kraft
Florian Kraft

Csaba Fenyvesi limped in from early position, and "Gypsy Baron" followed suit in middle position. Florian Kraft then raised to 16,500 in the cutoff, which only "Gypsy Baron" called.

"Gypsy Baron" called Kraft's bet of 26,000 on the 724 flop before the K fell on the turn. Kraft announced a pot-sized bet of 98,500, and "Gypsy Baron" instantly check-raised all in.

Kraft spent some time banks as he had already put about half his stack in, but ultimately decided he could not fold and called off.

Florian Kraft: AAKJ All in
"Gypsy Baron": K876

"Gypsy Baron"'s two pair remained the best hand on the 9 river as Kraft was eliminated for the second time today.

Aleksic Fares Best on Dutch Table

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Marcus Dieleman limped in from the hijack before he called the raise to 13,500 from Filip Aleksic on the button.

Dieleman checked to Aleksic on the 949 flop. Aleksic bet 11,000, and Dieleman called. Aleksic then sized up to 30,000 on the Q turn.

Dieleman abandoned the pot and mucked his cards, after which the three Dutch players at the table started discussing dinner plans.

Amot Annihilated by Nielsen's Aces in Huge Pot

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Martin Nielsen opened the action with a raise to 10,500 in the hijack. Mads Amot three-bet to 36,000 in the cutoff, to which Nielsen responded by four-betting to 113,500.

Amot just called to the 2910 flop, where he called off his remaining 200,000 or so when Nielsen put him all-in.

Mads Amot: Q876 All in
Martin Nielsen: AA42

Amot found no improvement on the 49 runout, eliminating him as he saw his stacks of chips being added to Nielsen's towers.

Yanovski Yeeted Again

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Leonid Yanovski
Leonid Yanovski

Leonid Yanovski open-raised to 12,000 in early position. Bharath Janardhan three-bet to 40,000 in the next seat over, and Yanovski made it 126,000 to go in response.

"Okay, let's go," Janardhan said as he slammed in a tower of T-25,000 chips. Yanovski quickly called all in for 180,000, revealing the cards.

Leonid Yanovski: AKJ7 All in
Bharath Janardhan: AQQ10

Yanovski flopped multiple draws on 6108, but none of his outs came in on the 8 turn or 3 river. Yanovski grimaced as he moved his chips over to his neighbor, then took his exit for the second time today.

"Gypsy Baron" Nearing Seven Figures

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Martin Nielsen checked to "Gypsy Baron" on a completed board of 710526. "Gypsy Baron" fired a pot-sized bet of 180,000, which sent Nielsen into the tank.

Eventually, Nielsen flicked in a reluctant call. "Gypsy Baron" showed AQ73 for the nut flush, and Nielsen groaned as he mucked his hand and lost the big pot.
