Muehloecker Gets Rid of Astapau

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Dzmitry Urbanovich opened for 28,000 from the hijack and his next door neighbor Anton Astapau moved in for 236,000 from the cutoff. The button folded but Thomas Muehloecker in the small blind was interested. He inquired about the size of the raise he was facing, and then moved in over the top himself. Urbanovich quickly released.

Anton Astapau: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Thomas Muehloecker: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{J-Spades} on the flop was still save for Astapau, but the satellite winner got hurt by the turn: {Q-Hearts}. The {5-Spades} on the river wasn't one of the outs he had left and Astapau made his exit.

Ladies Do the Trick for Thorel

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 26,000 from early position and action folded all the way around to Andres Munoz, who three-bet to 200,000 from the big blind. Thorel, who only had 209,000 total, moved all in, and Munoz called the additional 9,000.

Thorel: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Munoz: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Thorel was in prime position to double, which is just what he did after the board ran out a clean {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}.

Andres Munoz Eliminated

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Andres Munoz
Andres Munoz

Igor Kurganov opened under the gun for 25,000 and Andres Munoz was the only caller. The two of them took a flop of {5-Hearts}{K-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Kurganov fired 25,000 into the middle. Munoz made the call and the {Q-Spades} fell on the turn. Kurganov now checked, and called the 65,000 bet that followed.

The {5-Spades} on the river made for a double paired board and Kurganov checked again. Munoz shoved all in for about 210,000 and Kurganov instantly called by tossing in some 1,000 chips.

"Well, I guess I don't win" Munoz said as he revealed {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Kurganov tabled {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for the full house and Munoz made his exit.

Back-to-Back Pots for Gieles

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Luuk Gieles
Luuk Gieles

Luuk Gieles raised to 23,000 under the gun and Daniel Dvoress three-bet from the cutoff to 61,000 after which the action folded back to the Dutchman. Gieles enquired how much Dvoress had to start the hand, before announcing, "Raise."

After a while Gieles threw in 145,000 and Dvoress tanked a bit before folding.

On the very next hand Jason Mercier raised from the button to 20,000 and Gieles enquired how much his opponent started with before making the call.

The flop brought out {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Gieles check-called a bet of 18,000 after which the turn brought the {K-Hearts}. Both players checked on the fourth card, and the river completed the board with the {A-Clubs}.

Gieles threw out 55,000 and Mercier gave it some thought before calling. Gieles tabled {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Mercier aggressively mucked his cards, as he's now down to 156,000 chips.

Sammartino Takes on Reinkemeier

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Tobias Reinkemeier, on the button, raised to 23,000 and watched on as Dario Sammartino three-bet him to 52,000 from the small blind. Reinkemeier called, put on his sunglasses, and waited as the dealer spread the {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop.

Sammartino continued with a 55,000 on a flop that didn't look like it would create much action, which it didn't because Reinkemeier folded.

Former WCOOP Champ Sent to the Rail

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Fedor Holz
Fedor Holz

Byron Kaverman opened with a raise from under the gun and was met by an all-in three-bet to 119,000 by Fedor Holz in the hijack. Jeff Rossiter then four-bet all in over the top from the cutoff, which inspired the rest of the players, including Kaverman, to fold.

Holz: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Rossiter: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Holz ran smack dab into the granddaddy of all hands, and he paid for it with his tournament life as the board ran out a lowly {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Urbanovich Doubles Through Loosli

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The flop read {Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Dzmitry Urbanovich led for 46,000 from the big blind, a bet that Sylvain Loosli called from the button. Urbanovich then checked on the {5-Clubs} turn, and instantly called off his 218,000 stack when Loosli moved all-in.

Loosli turned over {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and needed some help from the river because Urbanovich held {5-Spades}{3-Spades} for two pair. That help failed to arrive as the river came the {J-Diamonds} and Urbanovich doubled.

Thorel Makes Quads to Eliminate Okhotski

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

A short-stacked Oleh Okhotski got his last last 50,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Jean-Noel Thorel.

Thorel: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Okhotski: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop gave Okhotski a gutshot wheel draw, which he hit when the {5-Hearts} spiked on the turn. Unfortunately for him, it was followed by the {5-Clubs} on the river, which gave Thorel quads for the win!
