Tantillo Loses to Cardot and Hvam

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Fausto Tantillo raised from the button and was called by Yannick Cardot in the big blind. They checked all the way to the {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} river on which Cardot checked once more. Tantillo bet 80,000 and folded when Cardot check-raised to 225,000.

Soon after, it was Morten Hvam who had opened and they were three ways to the {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop. Hvam bet 85,000 and Tantillo called in the cutoff, while Vlado Banicevic folded on the button. The {q-Clubs} turn was checked and Hvam bet again the {8-Diamonds} river for 75,000 and Tantillo quickly called.

Hvam tabled the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} for a pair of aces and that won the pot as Tantillo took another hit.

Chisu Eliminated by Nevanlinna to Set Up Three Table Redraw

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Danut Chisu
Danut Chisu

Danut Chisu open-shoved for the last 275,000 in the small blind and he was called by the resurgent Jussi Nevanlinna in the big blind.

Danut Chisu: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Jussi Nevanlinna: {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

The {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop gave Chisu the top pair yet he was drawing dead on the {9-Spades} turn to make the {10-Spades} river a formality. With this latest showdown, the field is down to the final 24 players and they will shortly redraw to the last three tables.

Foggin Shows Turmezey a Bluff

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Hugo Pingray had raised the button and was called by Peter Turmezey and Marc Foggin in the blinds.

The {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop was checked and Turmezey bet the {4-Diamonds} turn for 70,000, earning a call from Foggin and a fold from Pingray.

Turmezey then bet the {6-Hearts} river for 120,000 when his shot clock had run down to all but one second. Foggin used one time bank extension and then raised to 325,000. Without any additional time bank extensions to think, Turmezey folded and a relieved Foggin showed the {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for the nut flush blocker.

Cervantes Out-Kicks Yaghmai

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action was heads-up with 100,000 in the pot and {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{j-Spades} on the board when Nariman Yaghmai bet 40,000 from early position. Jaime Cervantes raised to 115,000 from the cutoff and Yaghmai called to see {8-Hearts} on the turn.

Yaghmai check-called a 220,000 bet from Cervantes and the river was {2-Clubs}.

Both players checked the river and turned over their cards. Yaghmai had {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, but Cervantes turned over {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} to take the pot with jacks and deuces and the better kicker.
