Sarwer Eliminated by Ricci

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Eduardo Moreno Cardigo raised to 8,000 in the cutoff and Ettore Ricci called from one seat over on the button. Jeff Sarwer in the small blind jammed for just 27,000 and Cardigo folded, Ricci called.

Jeff Sarwer: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Ettore Ricci: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop gave Ricci top pair, the {5-Hearts} turn was a blank and Ricci even made trips on the {a-Clubs} river to send Sarwer to the rail.

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Norberto Lopez
Norberto Lopez

The board read {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and Alexander Ivarsson had 23,000 in front of him in middle position with over 40,000 in the pot. Norberto Lopez had 80,000 in front of him from the big blind and Ivarsson called.

The {7-Diamonds} river card completed the board and Lopez checked to Ivarsson. The Swede fired a big bet of 100,000 leaving himself with just 54,000 behind. Lopez then announced all-in, covering Ivarsson.

Ivarsson let out a big sigh and took a moment before he let go of his hand.

Green Doubles Through Metaal

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The cards were already on their backs with Brian Green all in and at risk out of the big blind for fewer than 20 big blinds, facing Govert Metaal on the button.

Brian Green: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Govert Metaal: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

On a {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board, the pocket pair of Metaal was counterfeited and Green remained in contention.

Liu Doubles Through Tarmakov

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The board already showed {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Spades} with a pot containing around 40,000 when Kliment Tarmakov checked and faced an all-in bet from Jiayuan Liu for 57,500.

Tarmakov tanked for a few minutes and ended up throwing a chip for the call. Liu turned over {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for two pair and Tarmakov mucked his hand, revealing {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a lower two pair.

Nyberg Still Leading

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Louis Nyberg
Louis Nyberg

A simple continuation bet on the {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop won the pot for Louis Nyberg, who continues to remain at the top of the leaderboard. Andres Korn has come close since, while several other notables are approaching half a million in chips.

For Nicola Grieco, the exact opposite is the case as the Italian has lost a big portion of his stack. In the latest hand, he check-called a pot-sized bet by Govert Metaal on the {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} turn and checked the {8-Clubs} river. Metaal bet 64,000 and Grieco reluctantly folded the {a-Hearts} face up.

Triple Up for Katz

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Cary Katz
Cary Katz

Weiyi "Wayne" Zhang opened and Cary Katz pushed his last 24,000 in the middle from the button. Alexis Ibarrola called in the blinds and so did Weiyi Zhang.

The two remaining active players checked on the flop {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and the {7-Hearts} was dealt on the turn. Ibarrola fired a bet worth 40,000 and Weiyi Zhang let it go.

Cary Katz: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Alexis Ibarrola: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Katz had hit the nut flush while Ibarrola had a set of sevens. The river {5-Hearts} didn't change anything and Katz got his triple up. "I really liked that flop!" said Katz while grabbing the pot.
