Two Double Outs Just Before the Break

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Josip Simunic
Josip Simunic

In the last hand of the level, two players were sent to the rail on neighboring tables.

After an under-the-gun raise, Eric Sfez called out of the small blind and Sebastian von Toperczer moved all in from the big blind for what appeared to be 65,000. The initial raiser folded and Sfez called.

Sebastian von Toperczer: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Eric Sfez: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The board came {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Sfez paired his queen to eliminate the German.

One table over, Josip Simunic raised to 9,000 first to act and was called by Andre Haneberg in the small blind and Antal Roth in the big blind. The flop came {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and action checked to Simunic, who continued for 13,000. Only Roth called to see the {9-Clubs} turn and the Hungarian checked, then called a second barrel for 40,000.

After the {8-Spades} river, Roth moved all in for around 65,000 and Simunic snap-called to get shown {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} by Roth. Simunic rolled over the {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flush and raked in the big pot.

David Peters Has All the Chips; Lew and Cygan Eliminated

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
David Peters
David Peters

In-credible.

In the biggest setup of the tournament, David Peters has scooped up a pot of over 1 million chips and ascended to a monster chip lead, taking all of Lukasz Cygan's and Randy Lew's in the process. The action started with Cygan opening to 10,000 in middle position and Lew calling from the cutoff.

David Peters three-bet to 45,000 from the small blind and Cygan called. Then, everything went haywire. Back on Lew, he opted to move all in for 323,000, which brought the action back to Peters who also shoved.

Cygan was visibly displeased with the situation at hand but couldn't get away from it. He called it off after ten seconds for his total stack of 420,000 to create the monster pot.

Randy Lew: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Lukasz Cygan: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
David Peters: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

It was the mother of all setups and Peters found himself in a dream spot. The board stayed low and ran out {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} to end Cygan and Lew's tournament life on the spot. Lew shook Peters hand, while Cygan just walked away in disbelief over what just happened.

Peters soared to a huge stack worth 1.6 million, double the amount of his nearest challenger.

Two Double Knockouts in Quick Succession

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Pasquale Braco pushed from early position and Jack Salter did so from one seat over, while the action folded to Mark Teltscher in the big blind. The Brit verified with the dealer that both players were all in, peeked at his cards and called instantly.

Pasquale Braco: {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Jack Salter: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Mark Teltscher: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

"Ace from space," Salter joked but the {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop immediately crushed all hopes. "Give me that sweet four," Salter added but was left drawing dead on the {2-Spades} turn to render the {10-Diamonds} river to a mere formality.

The table was next to break, however another double elimination took place before that happened.

Short stack Makram Saber pushed, as did Boris Kuzmanovic, and Adrian Mateos, who had been down to 15,000 not long ago, called with the superior stack.

Makram Saber: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Boris Kuzmanovic: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Adrian Mateos: {A-Hearts}{k-Spades}

With the board running out {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, the second double elimination took place and Mateos suddenly jumped up to an average stack.

Gyorgyi Cracks Aces to Send Barthelemy Packing

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Pierre Barthelemy three-bet all in out of the big blind for what appeared to be 66,000 out of the big blind and initial raiser Krisztian Gyorgyi snap-called.

Pierre Barthelemy: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Krisztian Gyorgyi: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

"I am all in," Barthelemy said in French to a friend one table over, and the {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop changed nothing yet. On the {7-Hearts} turn, Gyorgyi asked for a jack and his wish was granted with the {J-Clubs} river. The Hungarian jumped out of his seat and repeated "jack, jack, jack," a few times. Eric Sfez in the small blind said "I had a jack" to Barthelemy, who left the tournament area quite gutted.

Overpair Holds for Cygan; Beresford Out

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After a raise and a call, Lukasz Cygan three-bet to 36,000 from the blinds and online legend Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford called in position. Beresford called a bet on the {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop and called off the rest of his chips on the {Q-Hearts} turn, around 95,000.

Conor Beresford: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Lukasz Cygan: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

Beresford needed a queen or diamond if he was to survive but bricked the {6-Clubs} river to end his Main Event run.

"Nice hand, good luck guys," Beresford said as he made his way to the exit.

Son Among Next Batch of Casualties

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Arianna Son
Arianna Son

Among the next players to head to the payout desk for a min cash were Ryan Riess, Francois Evard, Matthias Tikerpe and Arianna Son.

Son pushed for what appeared to be 80,000 in the cutoff and big stack Mazin Khoury moved all in over the top from the button to isolate against two shorter stacks in the blinds.

Arianna Son: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Mazin Khoury: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and the kicker played to eliminate Son in 103rd place.

Mincash for Chicheportiche

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After Gary Hasson had raised to 9,500 in middle position, Benjamin Chicheportiche moved all in for 70,000 from the small blind. Gary Miller ran out his 30-second clock before reshoving all in, getting Hanson out of the way.

Benjamin Chicheportiche: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Gary Miller: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Chicheportiche picked up some additional chop outs on the {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop but didn't get there on the {10-Diamonds} turn and {5-Clubs} river.
