"LuxonTrustWallet" Crosses Eight Figures

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Arriving on a A7A3 turn, "Kianator" checked from the small blind to "LuxonTrustWallet" in the big blind. "LuxonTrustWallet" added 450,000 to the pot of around 1,000,000, and "Kianator obliged with a call.

The 7 was dealt as the river. "Kianator" checked again, after which "LuxonTrustWallet" upped their sizing to 1,300,000. "Kianator" used two time banks to think things through, eventually settling on a call.

"LuxonTrustWallet" tabled A1032 for a full house. "Kianator" could only sigh as they added their hands to the muck, losing the big pot to their neighbour.

"LuxonTrustWallet", meanwhile, chipped up to about five times the average stack.

Sebestyen Balint
Sebestyen Balint

In a limped pot to the K98 flop, Sebestyen Balint led for a bet of 125,000 from the small blind. "Plato" put him all-in in the big blind for 595,000, and Balint quickly called off.

Sebestyen Balint: QJ107 All in
"Plato": KQ88

"Plato"s set became quads on the 8 turn, leaving Balint without outs. The meaningless A river was dealt as a formality as Balint tapped the table and took his leave.

Vihikainen Triples With Runner-Runner Quads; Harry Casagrande Eliminated in 21st Place (€10,900)

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Aki Vihikainen
Aki Vihikainen

Aki Vihikainen, Sebestyen Balint, and Lucas van den Belt got their chips in on a 783 flop. Vihikainen was the player at risk with 820,000, Van den Belt slightly covered him with 900,000, while Balint was the biggest stack of the trio.

Aki Vihikainen: QJ83 All in
Lucas van den Belt: KK65 All in
Sebestyen Balint: AJ22

Vihikainen made a full house on the 3 turn to become a huge favorite. With Balint already drawing dead, Vihikianen just needed to fade a king to triple up.

The 3 river did more than that, improving Vihikainen to four of a kind to secure the pot. Van Den Belt won the small side pot to stay alive, being pushed just over three blinds for after dinner.

While spectators gathered in awe and the chips were carefully counted, Harry Casagrande was quietly eliminated from another table, being the last player to depart before the dinner break.

Puk Nabuurs: AK106 All in
"Kianator": AAJ6
