Nahas Exits

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Antoine Nahas opened for 8,000 and it folded round to Vitaly Lunkin who raised it up to 20,000. Nahas moved all in and Lunkin made the call. Nahas turned over {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and was exasperated to see the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. He called for the queen but it didn’t come as the board ran out {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Lunkin had him well covered and For Nahas the tournament was over.

Soshnikov Stay Alives

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Ivan Soshnikov
Ivan Soshnikov

Ivan Soshnikov, who you may recall won the High Roller event at the EPT10 Prague, moved all in under the gun and received a call from Alex Kravchenko in middle position. Action folded to Sam Trickett in the big blind, and he seemed interested. Trickett thought for nearly a minute, but finally folded.

Soshnikov: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Kravchenko: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Upon seeing the cards tabled, Trickett indicated that he should have called with {8-}{8-}. Indeed, if he had, then he would have won the pot because neither Soshnikov nor Kravchenko improved. As it was, Soshnikov's big slick did the trick and scored him a double.

Jin Drowns in Lakemeier

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Cailin Jin
Cailin Jin

On a flop of {7-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Cailin Jin got his chips all in holding the {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and was ahead of Jens Lakemeier, who was drawing to a flush with the {k-Spades}{q-Spades}.

A {K-} on the turn improved Cailin to a bigger two pair, meaning all he needed to do was dodge a spade on the river to stay alive. That proved easier said than done though as the dealer burned and put out the {A-Spades}.

Lakemeier made his spade flush and Jin was sent out the door.

Finger Broken

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We missed the action as it unfolded, but we can confirm that Martin Finger was just eliminated from the tournament.

From what we could piece together, Finger three-bet preflop with {9-}{9-} and then barreled every street as the board ran out {q-}{10-}{x-}{q-}{j-}. Finger ended up moving all in on the river, and Oleh Okhotskyi called with {a-}{k-} for a rivered Broadway straight.

Daurov Done and Dusted

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

After Pratyush Buddiga opened, a short-stacked Aslan Daurov moved all in from the big blind. Buddiga made the call and Daurov was in big trouble.

Daurov: {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Buddiga: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop was no help to Daurov, and the {5-Clubs} turn actually left him drawing to one out. Daurov needed the {6-Clubs} to stay alive, but it wasn't in the cards as the {7-Spades} blanked.
