Zaffran Eliminated

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

On a board of {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} Nicholas Palma made it 9,500 and got a call from Jean Paul Zaffran. Action was then on Luc Greenwood who raised to 35,000. Palma folded but Zaffran moved all-in. Greenwood called.

Greenwood: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Zaffran: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Greenwood had flopped a set, but Zaffran had both straight and flush outs in his favour, but the {j-Hearts} on the turn, and the {7-Spades} on the river meant he exited midway through day 2

Hadad From Hero to Zero

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Or Hadad
Or Hadad

Within two hands, the stack of Or Hadad went from well above average to zero. He first stacked Christoph Vogelsang for 78,200 on a flop of {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} with {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} versus {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} when both the {10-Diamonds} turn and {J-Diamonds} river blanked.

Then, he got into a raising war with Sergey Lebedev. The Russian three-bet to 26,000 out of the big blind and Hadad squeezed to 78,000. Lebedev five-bet and Hadad jammed for more than 200,000 with the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

"You got aces?" he asked and Lebedev just nodded, flipping over {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Spades} and that sent Hadad to the rail.

Bleiker Busts Frey; Doubles Arruda

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Kyle Frey
Kyle Frey

Within two hands, the stack of Felix Bleiker fluctuated quite a bit. First he got the stack of Kyle Frey, who had shoved {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} into his {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} on the flop {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} and failed to improve with {4-Spades} turn and {10-Spades} river.

Then, William Arruda doubled for 29,000 with {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} against the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} of Bleiker with the board running out {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

Nitsche Wins Flip to Bust Kurganov

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Igor Kurganov
Igor Kurganov

Dominik Nitsche opened to 7,000 from under the gun and Igor Kurganov then made it 41,000 out of the small blind before calling off his stack of around 180,000 to the shove of Nitsche.

Kurganov: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Nitsche: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and the pair of nines held for Nitsche to send Kurganov to the rail.

Let's Shove the Small Blind

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

The action folded all the way around to Sylvain Loosli and he open-shoved into Luc Greenwood. The latter tank-called for his tournament life and last 73,300 chips with the {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Loosli was slightly ahead with {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds} but Greenwood got there on a board of {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

One hand later, Greenwood shoved into Fernando Brito and the Portuguese called with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Greenwood only had the {A-Clubs}{2-Spades} and the cruel board of {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{K-Spades}{2-Clubs} busted Brito.

Adams Makes the Right Call

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

A pot of 75,000 had emerged to the {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} river and Timothy Adams faced the shove of Ariel Celestino, who held the far bigger stack. Adams took his time and eventually called off for his last 54,400 to reveal {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Celestino bluffed and was caught with a busted flush draw, holding {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Drinan Doubles Duarte

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Connor Drinan
Connor Drinan

On a turn of {7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} Luiz Duarte lead for 32,100 and Connor Drinan made the call. On the river which was the {5-Spades} Duarte moved all-in for his remaining 68,000 chips into a pot of roughly 90,000. Drinan thought before making the call. Duarte showed {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flush.

"He has to show," said Day 1 chip leader Dominik Nitsche, and Drinan reluctantly turned over {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a failed hero call with just top pair.

Family Pot before Table Breaks

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Sylvain Loosli raised from under the gun and all his six opponents made the call to create a family pot to the flop {K-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The action was checked around and Connor Drinan then bet the {4-Diamonds} turn for 15,000. Ibrahim Ghassan and Sam Chartier were the only two callers before the {6-Spades} fell on the river.

Drinan continued for 25,000 and Ghassan raised, but only put in 40,000 chips. The dealer reminded him to make it at least 50,000, to which the Lebanese obliged. Chartier folded, Drinan gave it some thought and called to then muck to the {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} of Ghassan.

Right after, the table broke after Rafael Moraes three-bet shoved for 70,000 and ran his pair of eights into the higher pair of Samuel Vousden.
