Capitan Eliminated by Nemeth

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Bogdan Capitan
Bogdan Capitan

Bogdan Capitan, on the button, and Andras Nemeth in the small blind had created a 51,000 pot preflop. On the {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, Nemeth bet pot.

Capitan moved all in for around 15,000 more, and Nemeth called.

Nemeth: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Capitan: {9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Nemeth was ahead with a set of kings, but Capitan picked up a backdoor flush draw on the {10-Diamonds} turn. The {q-Hearts} river card was no good for Capitan as Nemeth improved to a house and sent last year's third-place finisher Capitan to the rail.

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

David Mezei has seen his second bullet come and go while Max Silver managed to double up moments later.

The board was down {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and Jorryt van Hoof had put his stack at risk of depletion against Silver.

Silver tabled {10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades} for a set, and Van Hoof held {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. The river fell the {7-Spades} and gave Silver the full house to seal a full double up at the expense of Van Hoff.
