Aliev Eliminates Post; Soars Into Chip Lead

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Freerk Post opened to 32,000 before the flop only to have Dashgyn Aliev three-bet to 85,000 from the button. Action came back around to Post who cut out a four-bet to 205,000.

Aliev quickly announced all in and Post called for his tournament life only to find that he was beind.

Post:{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Aliev: {K-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board came down {10-Hearts}{A-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and thought he didn't need it, Aliev ended with a full house. He sent Post packing as the first victim of the final three tables and has increased his stack to 3.405 million.

Not Nguyen-ing

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Thang Duc Nguyen checked dark, the dealer fanned {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, and Alexander Helbig checked behind. The turn was the {k-Hearts}, Nguyen fired 110,000, and Helbig called.

The river was the {j-Hearts}, Nguyen fired another 150,000, and Helbig called. Nguyen showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a pair of fours, but they were no good against Nguyen's {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Buddiga Bounces

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Alexander Helbig opened to an unknown amount from early position and it folded all of the way around to Pratyush Buddiga who three-bet from the big blind. Helbig four-bet him all in in and Buddiga snapped him off.

Helbig: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Buddiga: {A-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The board dropped down {6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Buddiga was unable to improve. His elimination prompted a full re-draw for the final three tables of eight.

Ohlsson Rudzians Artur's Day

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Emil Ohlsson opened for a raise in middle position, and a very short-stacked Artur Rudziankov three-bet all in for around 140,000 from the small blind. The big blind released, and feeling pot-committed, Ohlsson called.

Ohlsson: {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Rudziankov: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Ohlsson made a pair when the dealer fanned {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}, and held as the turn and river came {q-Diamonds}, {10-Hearts} respectively. Rudziankov was eliminated, and Ohlsson now as 880,000 chips.

Julian-Simon Cracks Koskenkorva's Queens

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Faced with a raise from Thomas Julian-Simon, Harri Koskenkorva moved all in for around 250,000. Julian-Simon made the call.

Julian-Simon: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Koskenkorva: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

There was a ten on the {5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop, giving Julian-Simon a set of tens, and prompting Koskenkorva to lurch back in his chair. The {j-Diamonds} turned, giving Koskenkorva an open-ended straight draw, but the {5-Diamonds} bricked on the river.

Koskenkorva was eliminated, while Julian-Simon is now flirting with a million-chip stack.
