Hecklen Eliminates Kazarian

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Gor Kazarian got his last 300,000 or so in the middle with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} but he ran into a brutal spot since Henrik Hecklen woke up with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} behind him. The {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} didn't offer much for Kazarian but he did find a {q-Hearts} on the turn. No river miracle though, as the {10-Clubs} completed the board.

Vicent Bosca was eliminated over on the other table in the meanwhile.

Holodiuk Eliminates Valiyev

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

All in and a call was shouted from Table 5, and Serhii Holodiuk had {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} in front of him under the gun, putting at risk Teymur Valiyev, who had {a-Spades}{2-Clubs} on the button. Valiyev got what he needed on the {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} flop but the {6-Clubs} turn killed his two pair and Holodiuk's kicker now played. The river was the {7-Hearts} and Valiyev sent over his last 100,000 or so.

Three-Way All-In Goes to Mette

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Armin Mette
Armin Mette

Armin Mette raised to 35,000 from the cutoff and was called by Maciej Rogacki on the button and Marcin Kreft in the big blind.

The flop came {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Kreft checked, Metter bet 45,000 which Rogacki called. Kreft now decided to shove for 199,000 in total. Mette also shoved for 340,000 in total and Rogacki snap-called,

Marcin Kreft: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Armin Mette: {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Maciej Rogacki: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Kreft and Mette had both flopped top pair with Mette holding the higher kicker while Rogacki had the overpair.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds} to give Mette two pair and have Kreft drawing dead. Rogacki needed an ace, six or four to have the higher two pair and eliminate both Mette and Kreft.

The river completed the board with the {8-Diamonds} for Mette to hold on to his lead and double up through Rogacki and take Kreft's last chips.

Evangelos Bechrakis
Evangelos Bechrakis

Evangelos Bechrakis in the small blind and Grzegorz Grochulski in middle position built a pot of about 250,000 and the flop came {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. Bechrakis fired 250,000 and Grochulski called. On the {4-Clubs} turn, Bechrakis used a time bank then slid 500,000 in. Grochulski took his turn to use time extensions — two of them — then called. On the {7-Spades} river, Bechrakis quickly jammed for 635,000 and Grochulski used another extension then called.
