Kaverman Continues Sheer Domination

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Byron Kaverman has taken over control of his table and plays many hands. The latest two examples saw him attack the big blinds of Bryn Kenney and Kevin MacPhee. Against Kenney, his second barrel worth 115,000 on the {9-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop worked and Kenney check-folded.

In the second hand, MacPhee check-called the {5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} turn for 80,000 and then also checked the {5-Spades} river. Kaverman fired 180,000 and was called to reveal {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for two pair, aces and nines, as winning hand.

MacPhee doubled up straight after in a battle of the blinds against [Removed:17] to almost even out their short stacks.

Dominik Nitsche had just been moved into the big blind at the table when Leslie Packer shoved his short stack into him from the small blind.

Nitsche called with {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and was ahead of Packer's {a-Clubs}{2-Spades} by a good distance. The board came out {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Packer packed his things and left.

Igor Yaroshevskyy Eliminated in 15th place (€30,150)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

One hand before, Patrick Uzan had raised to 50,000 from under the gun and claimed the blinds and antes. The very next hand the action folded around to Igor Yaroshevskyy and he shoved the small blind for 165,000. Uzan called and put his opponent at risk:

Uzan: {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Yaroshevskyy: {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The flop {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds} left Yaroshevskyy in desperate shape, though he picked up some outs on the {4-Diamonds} turn. The {6-Spades} river blanked and the Ukrainian headed to the rail.

David Peters Eliminated in 16th Place (€27,090)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Roberto Romanello open shoved for 285,000 and David Peters re-shoved for just a few chips less. The rest folded and the cards were tabled:

Peters: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Romanello: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

It was a classic cooler and Peters kept the lead through the {10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. The {j-Clubs} turn was a different story though, with Romanello taking the lead and Peters immediately dropping his head. The river brought no queen and when the {6-Clubs} fell instead, it took Peters with it.

Yan Shoves; No Call

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Byron Kaverman raised to 45,000 and was called by Kevin MacPhee in the small blind. [Removed:17] moved all in from the big blind for what looked like around 400,000 chips and MacPhee said over to the other side of the table that he had around 500,000 himself. Kaverman let go and so did MacPhee.

Senh Ung

Senh Ung got his last few chips in from the cutoff and Leslie Packer moved all in from the small blind, also on the short stack but with slightly more chips.

Ung: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Packer: {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Ung headed to the rail at the very end of the level. There is now a quick break for the redraw of the last two tables.

The Power of Chips

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Vladimir Dobrovolskiy opened to 33,000 from the small blind and Patrick Uzan called from the big blind. On the flop {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, Dobrovolskiy continued for 40,000 and Uzan called before both players checked the {3-Clubs} turn. The dealer then burned and turned the {5-Diamonds} river and Dobrovolskiy enforced a fold from his opponent with a bet of 115,000.

'You Can't Get Rid of Me'

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau

[Removed:17] made it 32,000 and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau shoved in behind him for 117,000, begging Yan to call.

Eventually he did, with the {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Vaskaboinikau's {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} had him dominated.

Vaskaboinikau held to double on a {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} run out.

"You can't get rid of me," he said. "I promise."
