Grafton and Antonius Depart

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Sam Grafton and Patrik Antonius have both exited the EPT Prague High Roller.

Grafton moved all in for around ten big blinds from under the gun and was called by Ran Ilani on the button.

Grafton: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Ran Ilani: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Grafton took the lead when he paired his eight on the {8-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop. The turn {q-Diamonds} didn't change anything, but when the {j-Diamonds} hit on the river, Ilani hit the straight and sent Grafton to the rail with a min-cash.

On the other table, Patrik Antonius was all in with {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} and up against one opponent with {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, and Anton Yakuba with {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

The board fell {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and Yakuba won the pot and eliminated Antonius.

Corentin Ropert held {j-Clubs}{9-Spades} and was up against {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. The board fell {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and Ropert's two pair secured his double.

Grafton held {a-Spades}{6-Clubs} and was up against {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}. The board ran out {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, and Grafton held to double up.

Yankov Bubbles High Roller in Spectacular Fashion

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Krasimir Yankov
Krasimir Yankov

Krasimir Yankov opened to 20,000 and Hon Cheong Lee three-bet all in for around 250,000 from the small blind. Yankov called and was all in.

The cards were turned over, with Yankov in a good position for a double with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} against Lee's {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Lee would need an ace to burst the bubble, and he got three, with the flop coming {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} giving him quads and leaving Yankov drawing dead.

The {5-Spades}{7-Clubs} runout was inconsequential and a shell-shocked Yankov was eliminated.

The remaining players are all guaranteed €17,330.

On a {9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Spades} board Liang Xu checked and Jasper Meijer Van Putten bet 160,000. Xu called.

Van Putten showed {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight and Xu flashed {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a smaller straight.

On the very next hand Xu doubled through Van Putten with {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} against Van Putten's {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} on a {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades} board.

Addamo vs. Reard

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Michael Addamo raised to 16,000 from under the gun and saw Alexandre Reard three-bet to 55,000 from the next seat. The rest of the players folded, and Addamo called.

The flop fell {2-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn card was the {9-Diamonds}, and Addamo bet 140,000 into the 120,000 pot.

Reard called, and the river fell the {a-Clubs}.

Addamo used a time-extension to think before he bet 300,000, leaving himself 45,000 behind.

Reard went into the tank and had to use two-time extensions sat with a stack worth 500,000. After 90 seconds had passed Reard threw his two used time-extension cards followed by his hand, and Addamo picked up a sizable pot.

Hecklen Doubles Through Yosifov

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Henrik Hecklen
Henrik Hecklen

The action folded to Henrik Hecklen in the small blind, and he called. Chip leader Dimitar Yosifov then raised, and Hecklen called.

The flop fell {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, and Hecklen check-called a 19,000 bet from Yosifov. Hecklen checked again on the {9-Diamonds} turn card, and Yosifov continued for 70,000.

Hecklen paused for 20 seconds before he called and left himself with 170,000 behind.

The river card was the {q-Clubs}, and Hecklen checked for the third time. Yosifov sat silent for close to 30 seconds before he reached for a large stack of 25,000 chips and placed them into the middle, enough to put Hecklen all in.

Hecklin snap-called and Yosifov tabled {8-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a complete bluff. Hecklin flipped over {a-Spades}{5-Clubs} for trips and secured a full double up on the bubble.
