Walker Flops Top Two and Busts Cerny

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Markus Cerny
Markus Cerny

Under unknown circumstances we've just lost Markus Cerny at the feature table. Cerny was all in holding {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} versus Chris Walker's {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, and the board showed {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{K-Hearts} when we arrived on the scene.

Cerny shook his head and exited the tv set while Walker chipped up nicely during the last level of the night.

Ainsworth Busts McDonald

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Mike McDonald was the shortest stack in the room, and he handed his chips to his neighbor just now. Action folded to McDonald in the small blind and he moved in for his last 150,000. Jude Ainsworth in the big blind made the call.

Mike McDonald: {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Jude Ainsworth: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board totally blanked out and queen-high won it for Ainsworth.

McDonald, after making the final table in the €25,000 Single Day High Roller (5th for €257,000) earlier this week, now 43rd in the Main Event (€22,840).

Anthony Zinno: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
John Juanda: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Zinno made his exit.

Wetemans Out, Eichardt Grabs a Big Lead

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Jasper Wetemans
Jasper Wetemans

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 60,000 under the gun and Peter Eichhardt called two seats to his left, after which Dutchman Jasper Wetemans moved all in for 294,000 from the small blind. Both Vaskaboinikau and Eichhardt made the call, creating a big pot heading to the flop.

The flop brought out {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and both players checked. On the turn the {K-Hearts} hit and Vaskaboinikau check-called a bet of 225,000. The river brought the {7-Clubs} and Vaskaboinikau check-folded after a long time on a bet of 325,000.

Eichhardt showed {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a straight, and that was enough to take down the pot. Wetemans' {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} was tabled, but he was already on his way to the payout desk.

Rui Sousa opened for 65,000 and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau three bet to 150,000. Sousa shoved for 688,000 total and Vaskaboinikau called.

Rui Sousa: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: {J-}{J-}

The board came {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Sousa doubled.

"How can you go all in with ace queen?" Vaskaboinikau asked.

"I don't know" Sousa replied.

"You don't know? You must fold, it's easy!" Vaskaboinikau said with a serious voice.

Cold Five Bet Shove

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Oleksii Khoroshenin opened under the gun for 60,000 and his neighbor Diego Casco Del Riego three bet to 144,000. Frederik Jensen cold four bet to 325,000 from the cutoff and Mario Lopez in the small blind pushed all in for 989,000. For a minute it looked like Stuart McDonald in the big blind was thinking what to do, but it turned out he forgot he had cards and folded right after that.

Khoroshenin and Del Riego folded straight away and the decision was on Jensen. He tanked for a bit, asked the dealer to pull in the 325,000 to see how much it was to call (664,000), and cut out those chips to see how much he would have left if he called and would lose (450,000).

He eventually folded and without a flop Lopez became a lot richer.
