Weckmann First Feature Table Elimination

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

With a board reading {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, Javier Etayo moved all in and put the pressure on Christoph Weckmann, who had about 100,000 behind. Weckmann thought for two solid minutes before calling off with the {k-Spades}{7-Spades} for a pair of sevens, but it proved unwise as Etayo held two pair with the {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Mueller Runs Into Villa-Lobos' Aces

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

A preflop raising war resulted in [Removed:203] getting his stack of 306,000 all in preflop holding the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and he was up against the {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} of Nicolau Villa-Lobos, who barely had him covered. The {8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop wasn't particularly interesting, but the {10-Spades} turn was as Mueller picked up an open-ended straight draw. Unfortunately for him, the {2-Spades} river didn't complete it. The stacks were verified and then Mueller made his way to the payout desk.

Adams Takes His Leave

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Shortly after being crippled by Dimitrios Farmakoulis, Timothy Adams hit the rail courtesy of Carla Sabini. We missed the action but arrived in time to see that Sabini had the {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts} laid out in front of her on an ace-high board. Adams' cards had already been pulled into the muck.

Farmakoulis Gets Lucky to Stay Alive

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Dimitrios Farmakoulis got his stack of 155,000 all in preflop holding the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} and was in dire straits against the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} of Timothy Adams. Farmakoulis was on elimination's doorstep, but the {3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop gave him a reprieve as he hit a set. Neither the {K-Spades} turn nor {2-Clubs} river allowed Adams to catch back up, and Farmakoulis exited the tournament area for a private celebration.

Ylitalo Eliminates Kuo

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Kitty Kuo
Kitty Kuo

Action folded to Robin Ylitalo on the button and he raised to 16,000. The small blind folded and then Kitty Kuo shoved for roughly 160,000. Ylitalo made a quick call and the cards were turned up.

Kuo: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Ylitalo: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Kup was in need of some help, but the {8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop provided little. The {Q-Diamonds} turn gave Kuo a gutshot, which prompted her to ask her opponent, "Do you want a jack."

"No," Ylitalo said with a smile. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {9-Diamonds}. Kuo made a pair but it wasn't good enough. She exited in 41st place.

Muhlocker Doubles; Yong Eliminated

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Thomas Muhlocker, who you may recall as the winner of the EPT10 Barcelona High Roller, and he opened for 16,000 from the hijack. When action reached Wai Kin Yong in the small blind, he moved all in for roughly 270,000. The big folded and Muhlocker snap-called off for 226,000.

Muhlocker: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Yong: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Muhlocker was looking to dodge an ace, and that's exactly what he did as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Muhlocker doubled on the hand while Yong was left with just 40,000.

In the very next hand, Yong got those chips in preflop holding the {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and was up against the {q-Spades}{9-Hearts} of [Removed:17]. The board ran out a clean {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Yong was sent to the rail.

Staying Out of the Locker Room

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Joey Lovelady moved all in from button and Thomas Muhlocker reshoved in the small blind. [Removed:17] quickly folded in the big blind.

The flop brought a four coming {4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Lovelady jumped ahead. The {Q-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing and neither did the {J-Hearts} river. Lovelady moved back over 200,000 and Muhlocker was left short.
