Bilic Out, Selbst a Big Stack after Aces versus Ace-King and Ace-King

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

Vladimir Dobrovolskiy opened from middle position and Alen Bilic in the cutoff shoved all in for 51,500. Action folded to Vanessa Selbst in the big blind and she called. Dobrovolskiy called as well.

Selbst checked on {10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Dobrovolskiy checked behind. The {3-Diamonds} hit the turn and Selbst checked again. Dobrovolskiy made a bet of 60,000 and Selbst shoved all in for 188,000. Dobrovolskiy went into the tank but after some minutes he called.

Vladimir Dobrovolskiy: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Vanessa Selbst: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}
Alen Bilic: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Dobrovolskiy and Bilic needed the last king in the deck but wouldn't be so lucky. Instead the {9-Spades} hit and Bilic was out while Dobrovolskiy was down to just over 70,000.

Vladimir Dobrovolskiy Eliminated

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Vladimir Dobrovolskiy was already short after the big hand against Vanessa Selbst, and moved in for his last 60,500 from the hijack just now. Stevan Chew shoved all in from the small blind to isolate and Selbst folded her big blind. "That's not good" Chew said when he saw the showdown.

Stevan Chew: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Vladimir Dobrovolskiy: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The flop brought a ten however, and Dobrovolskiy didn't come from behind: {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

Hecklen Busts in a Flip

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We're that much closer to bursting the money bubble, as we just lost three more players. Henrik Hecklen shoved all in over the top for 76,000 after a raise and two callers, and one player called to put him at risk.

Hecklen held {A-}{Q-} against Felix Bleiker's pocket fives, and the board brought him no help. Frederik Jensen and Jean Paul Zaffran have also been knocked out, and that brings us down to 50 players.

The Danger Zone

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The €10,300 High Roller is down to just 50 players, but only 47 will get paid. The following five players are the only ones with less than 100,000 chips, and that means they are in the danger zone of missing out on the money.

The first level of payouts is €17,420, and the dinner break will start at the completion of the current level. Five more levels are left to be played after the one-hour dinner break.

Cates and Selbst Clash in Five Bet Pot

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel Cates
Daniel Cates

Pavel Plesuv opened for 14,000 under the gun with around 5 minutes on the clock till the dinner break. Ihar Soika right next to him three-bet to 34,000 and two positions down action was on Vanessa Selbst. The PokerStars Team Pro made it 71,000 from the cutoff and the button and small blind both quickly released to go on dinner break.

Daniel Cates in the big blind wasn't hungry just yet and took his time figuring out what he was going to do. The break had almost started by now and he eventually decided to make it 115,000. Plesuv folded right away and Soika followed his example after less than half a minute in the tank. Selbst called however.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Cates again took his time before betting 90,000. Selbst called.

Though it took some time, both players eventually decided to check the {5-Spades} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river.

"I guess I win than" Cates said, still hesitant to show his cards. When Selbst didn't show either, he finally tabled his {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}. Selbst mucked.

While Selbst and Cates both started counting and stacking their chips, with the break already about 10 minutes underway now, the latter said "Can I pay you €100 for your hand there?" Selbst snap accepted but Cates backed out a little; "Maybe I should have started with €50" Cates said. Selbst didn't want to know of any other deal and eventually Cates grabbed his wallet, pulled out a €100 note from a wad of cash, and handed it to Selbst. "I had pocket tens" Selbst admitted.

"Maybe if I jam river on you, you fold" Selbst said while packing her bag to go on dinner. "No! I'm never folding river. I wanted you to jam the river" Cates said with a giggle. With 48 minutes left in the break, the two were finally heading for the exit.
