Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso
Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso

Over on the feature table, Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso was all in and at risk with the {K-Spades}{J-Spades} and Max Silver had the bigger stack and slightly better hand preflop in {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. However, the board ran out {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs} to send Silver on the short stack.

Greenwood Felts Kotelnikov

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

On a flop of {6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Andrey Kotelnikov check-raised all in for 120,000 out of the big blind and Sam Greenwood gave it some thought. He had made a continuation bet worth 26,000 and eventually called with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Kotelnikov was on a double draw, holding the {4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and bricked as turn {3-Spades} and river {9-Clubs} completed the board.

Kempe Vanquishes Vagner in 49th Place

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

A short-stacked Stefan Kempe moved all in for 101,000 from the cutoff and action folded to Rainer Kempe, who was in the big blind. He hit the tank for nearly two minutes before dropping in a call.

Kempe: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Vagner: {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Vagner was behind and looking for help, which he found on the {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop. Unfortunately for him, his time in the lead was short lived as the dealer burned and turned the {8-Spades} to give Kempe trips. The {5-Diamonds} river failed to help Vagner, and he bowed out in 49th place.

Lodden Attacks The Big Stacks

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

Johnny Lodden appears to be attacking the bigger stacks at his table and it's working out quite nicely for the Team PokerStars Pro.

First he made it 20,000 from early position into Kitty Kou's big blind and she defended. After Kuo checked the {5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, he continued for 28,000. Kuo called and the turn brought the {9-Diamonds}. She checked again, then folded with a smile when Lodden bet 69,000.

A hand later he was at it again, making it the same 20,000 from under the gun into big stack Sam Greenwood's big blind. Greenwood defended and they went heads-up to {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop. Both players checked and the {9-Spades} came on the turn.

Greenwood checked again, before calling a 25,000-chip Lodden bet.

The river came the {q-Clubs}, bringing another Greenwood check with it. Lodden bet 65,000.

"I can't beat a straight," Greenwood said, calling regardless.

Lodden turned over the {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} having turned a straight and rivered a bigger one.

Jagucsik Doubles Through Kotelnikov

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

In a battle of the blinds, Adam Jaguscik open-shoved for 112,00 and Andrey Kotelnikov called from one seat over.

Jaguscik: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Kotelnikov: {Q-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Jaguscik pumped his fist in celebration, also exchanging some words in Polish with fellow countryman Pawel Brzeski on the same table.

Heinry Busts to Geissert

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

From the button Ludovic Heinry moved all in for less than 10 big blinds and Bjorn Geissert looked him up from one seat over in the small blind. Geissert had the dominating {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} while Heinry was looking for a seven, holding the {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. The board ran out {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and that ended Heinry's tournament.

Chien and Jann Bust Straight After the Restart

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

Almost at the same time, Peter Chien and Patrick Jann were eliminated.

Jann lost a flip for his last 60,000 with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} of Niall Farrell on a board of {2-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

Chien got his short stack in with {A-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Sam Greenwood called with the dominating {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. It was all but over after the {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{J-Hearts} flop and the {6-Spades} turn confirmed the bustout, making the {3-Hearts} river a formality.
