Rudolph Gains Some Ground

Level 24 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

In a limped battle of the blinds, Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph checked the {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop and so did Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger. Rudolph check-raised the {6-Clubs} turn from 100,000 to 450,000 as Eibinger came along.

The {a-Spades} fell on the river and a bet of 750,000 by Rudolph instantly won the pot without showdown.

Badziakouski Near Even with Eibinger

Level 24 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

In a three-bet pot between the two big stacks Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger and Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski, the former made it 220,000 to go and the latter raised to 750,000, which Eibinger called to see a {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop.

Badziakouski made it 524,000 to go and Eibinger came along to the {6-Diamonds} turn. The second barrel was larger, for 1,369,605, and Eibinger folded, then typed "grrrrrrr" in table chat.

However, the Austrian stopped his downfall the next hand by taking a chunk out of the stack of Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph. They limped and checked the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop, Rudolph bet the {9-Hearts} turn for 150,000 and was called to then check-call for 809,000 on the {2-Diamonds} river.

Eibinger tabled the {q-Spades}{9-Spades} and that won the pot.

Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph Eliminated in 3rd Place ($148,058)

Level 24 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante
Christian Rudolph
Christian Rudolph

The action started with a button raise to 200,000 by Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph and Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger three-bet to 750,000 in the small blind. Rudolph then four-bet all-in for just over 38 big blinds and Eibinger made the call.

Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Eibinger had the better kicker and the {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} flop left Rudolph with even less hope. Nothing changed on the {2-Clubs} turn and Eibinger made the nut flush on the {5-Spades} river, sending Rudolph to the rail in 3rd place for $148,058.

Level: 25

Blinds: 60,000/120,000

Ante: 15,000

ICM Deal In Place; Blind Flip Agreed

Level 25 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

After playing just a few hands of heads-up, Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski and Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger quickly agreed to ICM numbers and then discussed whether or not they still had to play for any money on top. Once it was determined that it was only $10,000 to play for, both continued the chatter and a blind flip was suggested.

Eibinger: "did I ever win a flip against you?"
Badziakouski: "now is the time"

It only took a few moments for them to agreed and Badziakouski ultimately booked it with the words "ok next hand flip book and then keep going till i bust you". Stay tuned for the next showdowns.

Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger Eliminated in 2nd Place ($221,564)

Level 25 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

As agreed to, Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski and Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger went all-in preflop until one of them had all the chips and it would take exactly three hands to accomplish that.

Flip #1:
Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski: {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Board: {8-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} - Badziakouski paired his eight and doubled into a big lead.

Flip #2:
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {5-Spades}{3-Spades}
Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski: {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Board: {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Both joked about the "top of their range" and it was Eibinger that doubled, however, he was still trailing.

Flip #3:
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski: {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Badziakouski took the lead on the {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop and Eibinger needed a nine or five to get another flip. However, the {k-Spades} turn and {q-Spades} river kept Badziakouski in the lead and Eibinger had to settle for $221,564 as per the deal they agreed to. Badziakouski earned slightly more, $222,453 to be exact, and will also receive the EPT spadie for the efforts.
