Kunze Doubles and then Busts to Briotti

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tom Kunze shoved all in on the button for 35,000 and was called by Tommaso Briotti in the big blind. Kunze held {k-Spades}{9-Clubs} and was up against the {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} of Briotti. Kunze spiked a king on the flop and held on for a double up to just over 70,000 chips.

However, in the next hand, Kunze pushed all in again for just over 70,000 this time and Briotti once again called from the small blind. Kunze was in rough shape this time with {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} against Briotti's {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Briotti held on to eliminate Kunze just one hand later.

Zeiter and Ter-Khachatryan on the Rail

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Diego Zeiter was all-in with a short stack on the button holding the {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Ladislao Dalfo Batlle rejammed in the small blind with the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and the pocket pair remained ahead throughout the [Ac5c4h5s9s board.

One table over, Vahe Ter-Khachatryan got the last 27,000 in from the small blind. Demosthenes Kiriopoulos called with the superior stack in the big blind to create the following showdown.

Vahe Ter-Khachatryan: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: {j-Spades}{2-Spades}

The {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} board improved the Canadian on flop and river to score the knockout.

Chenet Doubles Through Sfez

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Lucas Sfez defended his big blind against a raise by Laurent Chenet and check-jammed the {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop to get called by Chenet with the inferior stack.

Laurent Chenet: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Lucas Sfez: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The kicker played after the {j-Hearts} turn and {6-Diamonds} river, allowing Chenet to double for 115,000.

Shortly after, Duong Nguyen's short stack ride came to an end as the field was whittled down further.

Two Chips and a Chair for Turmezey; Robin Departs

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

Peter Turmezey more than doubled with {9-Spades}{7-Clubs} versus {a-Clubs}{3-Spades} when he was at risk for the last 10,000, as the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Spades} board delivered the required help.

Turmezey then prevailed once more before Pierrig Robin got it in with {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a short stack. Pierre Calamusa had a flip with {10-Spades}{9-Spades} and the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} board improved Calamusa.

Turmrzey was then at risk with {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} versus {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board kept the Hungarian in contention once more.

Pham Doubles Through Tantillo

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

The cards were already on their backs when Huy Pham had exposed his {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} and was at risk for the last 78,000. Fausto Tantillo had the superior stack in {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} but the {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board confirmed Pham's double.

Triple Up for Veksler

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

Pavel Veksler was already at risk out of the small blind as Andrea Rasulo and Sylvestre Ceccaldi headed to the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop. Rasulo's bet got rid of Ceccaldi and the cards were turned over.

Pavel Veksler: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Andrea Rasulo: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Veksler needed some help and got it with the {8-Spades} turn and {5-Spades} river.

Sfez Triples, Leaves Nguyen and Turmezey on Crumbs

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

The action folded to Peter Turmezey on the button who raised it up. Lucas Sfez just called in the small blind and Duong Nguyen made it 35,000 from the big blind. Turmezey shoved all in, followed by Sfez sticking in his last 88,000 and Nguyen putting in his last 97,000 chips.

Lucas Sfez: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Duong Nguyen: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Peter Turmezey: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

It was a cooler no doubt, with the last three players in the hand all picking up premiums. The board ran out {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} to give Sfez a triple up, and leaving Nguyen to collect a small side pot.

Kempe Running Short

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

Rainer Kempe raised it up from early position and was called by Danut Chisu on the button and Jeremy Saderne in the big blind. The flop came {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and the action checked around to the {5-Spades} on the turn.

Saderne led out with a bet of 10,000 and Kempe went into the tank for a couple of minutes before announcing a raise to 33,000. Chisu quickly folded and Saderne just called.

The river was the {q-Clubs} and Saderne checked to Kempe who reluctantly checked it back. Saderne flipped over {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a straight and Kempe was unable to beat it.
