Muehloecker Melted

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised from under the gun and was called by Paul Newey and Thomas Muehloecker to see a three-way flop of {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Petrangelo continued for 25,000 and Newey folded, but Muehloecker check-raised all in fir 77,000 out of the big blind to receive a quick call.

Muehloecker: {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Petrangelo: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

Neither the {4-Hearts} turn nor the {2-Spades} river helped the Austrian and he was sent out of the tournament.

Chidwick Shoves All In

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

From first position Stephen Chidwick made it 18,000 to go, and big blind Ivan Luca was the only caller. Luca check called 20,000 on the {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, and check called another 50,000 on the {J-Diamonds} turn.

The river came the {10-Hearts} and Luca lead out for 57,000.

Chidwick didn't need much time making up his mind, and moved all in for 384,000 total. Luca had 468,000 behind at this point, and contemplated what to do for some minutes. Eventually he folded and Chidwick raked in the sizable pot without having to go to showdown.

Nick Petrangelo

John Juanda made it 16,000 and Nick Petrangelo three-bet to 44,000. Mike McDonald then shoved in for 300,000-plus, and after Juanda released, Petrangelo turned over the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

"Alright Mike," he said, confirming he was making the call.

McDonald held the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and tens held through the {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} board to send Petrangelo packing.

Peters Busts to Smith

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The board was already completed and showed {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} with Dan Smith shoving out of the big blind for way more than the pot. David Peters on the button was in the think tank for a few minutes and eventually said "okay, I call" before then trying to muck his {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

Smith had the nut straight with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and said in table chat that the flop was checked through and a bet on the turn was called before his shove.

Quoss Busts with Jacks

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The action started with a raise by Ivan Luca in early position and Byron Kaverman then three-bet to 54,000 out of the small blind. Fabian Quoss four-bet to 125,000 and Luca announced all in, cutting out his stack of 442,000 for everyone to see. While Kaverman folded rather quickly, Quoss counted his own stack and eventually called off for less.

Quoss: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Luca: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and that was it for the German High Roller regular.

Haxton Gets The Axe

Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Issac Haxton open-shoved from early position for 117,000 with the {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Byron Kaverman was the only taker on the {a-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The board rolled out {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} to the turn, keeping Haxton ahead, but the {10-Hearts} river did him in, making Kaverman the bigger two pair.

Sammartino Pushes With 5-3

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

From the hijack, John Juanda made it 16,000 to go. Right next to him Max Silver three bet to 45,000 from the cutoff. On the button, Dario Sammartino bumped it to 106,000 and both blinds quickly released. Juanda followed suit and mucked just about instantly.

Max Silver wasn't so eager to say goodbye to his cards. He eyed Sammartino's stack, counted out his own little fortune a bit, and then made it 195,000. Sammartino didn't think too long before shoving all in for 696,000 effectively. Silver wasn't fist pumping, but he sure wasn't folding either.

Dario Sammartino: {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Max Silver: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Sammartino put his head down in disgust for a bit, but got back up when the flop came {7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Countryman Mustapha Kanit was holding his breath while the {6-Spades} hit the turn.

More outs for Sammartino, but he missed all of them with the {K-Clubs} on the river.

Silver up to almost 1.5 million, Sammartino down to just under 10% of that.

All In Preflop

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Around the same time, Max Altergott and Tobias Reinkemeier made their exit on separate tables.

Altergott got it in against Dvoress in a battle of the blinds holding {A-Spades}{2-Hearts} against {10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. The board ran out {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and Altergott was already drawing dead by the time the turn was out.

Reinkemeier had wagered his chips with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} but wouldn't out flop, -turn or -river Smith's {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Reinkemeier made his way out the door.
