Kolev Eliminated By Maquerre

Connor Richards

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nicolas Maquerre opened to 30,000 on the button and Boris Kolev three-bet to 110,000 in the big blind. Maquerre called.

Kolev bet a small 50,000 on the flop of 4♠9♣3♥ and Maquerre called. Kolev then moved all in for around 200,000 on the 6♣ turn and Maquerre called with a bigger stack.

Boris Kolev: A♥K♣
Nicolas Maquerre: K♥9♥

Maquerre had out-flopped Kolev after being dominated preflop and the 4♦ river didn't change anything to mark Kolev's elimination.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Santiago Plante opened to 30,000 from the cutoff and Giacomo Raddi defended from the big blind.

The flop came 8♠7♣3♦. Raddi checked, Plante bet 65,000 and Raddi made the call.

Both players checked through the A♠ turn to see the 9♦ river. Raddi bet 140,000 only for Plante to announce all in, putting Raddi to the test for his remaining stack of approximately 350,000. Raddi thought over his decision for approximately three minutes before making the call.

Raddi showed down 9♠7♦ for a rivered two pair but Plante tabled J♠10♦ for the nut-straight to secure the elimination and catapult up the chip counts, surpassing two million chips in the process.

Theodoros Ampelikiotis at the same table has also recently surpassed two million chips, making himself and Plante among the biggest stacks in the tournament currently.

Player	Chips	Progress
Theodoros Ampelikiotis	2,135,000

Luis Rosero Ramirez opened to 30,000 from the cutoff and Oscar Ceron three-bet to 115,000 from the small blind. It was folded back to Ramirez, who called.

Ceron continued for 90,000 on the 9♠8♣A♣ flop and Ramirez tanked for some time before making it 230,000 to go. Undeterred, Ceron shoved for 455,000 total and Ramirez let his hand go.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Martin Zamani made a large open to 80,000 from the hijack and Day 1c chip leader Theodoros Ampelikiotis three-bet to 250,000 from the small blind.

"Well obviously this was a mistake," Zamani joked, regarding the sizing he chose for his open. Shortly afterwards he made the call.

The flop came 10♦6♠2♠. Ampelikiotis bet 150,000 and was called by Zamani.

Both players checked the 3♣ turn leading to the 6♣ river. Ampelikiotis bet small this time for 60,000. Zamani made the call.

Ampelikiotis tabled A♣K♥ for the winner to take down a massive pot with only ace-high.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mihai Trofim raised to 30,000 from under the gun and Hanseok Ko called from the next seat over before Marcos Diego came along from the cutoff. Not to be outdone, Roberto Silvani shoved his last 265,000.

Trofim got out of the way but Ko went deep into the tank before he emerged with a call. Diego gave it some thought, but he thought better of it and tossed his hand in the muck. Action was heads up and Silvani was at risk.

Roberto Silvani: K♦7♥
Hanseok Ko: 8♠6♠

The board ran out 5♦5♠9♣6♦A♣ and Ko turned a six to send Silvani to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mihai Trofim	1,215,000 848,000	848,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Danilo Colomba opened to 30,000 first-to-act and just behind him, David Bourdier shoved for a bit over 200,000. Just behind him, Pierre Gineste shoved for more and everyone else quickly folded.

David Bourdier: J♠J♣
Pierre Gineste: Q♠Q♥

Bourdier was in rough shape with his jacks, and the 3♥3♣6♣7♥3♠ runout was of no help — eliminating Bourdier late in the evening.

Player	Chips	Progress
Pierre Gineste	575,000 358,000	358,000
Danilo Colomba	320,000 116,000	116,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a flop of 10♥2♠6♥, David Vital and David Santana checked before Mykhailo Gutyi bet 70,000. Vital called and Santana check-jammed a stack of 255,000. Gutyi called with a bigger stack and Vital folded.

David Santana: 10♦6♦
Mykhailo Gutyi: K♠10♣

Santana was in great shape to double up with two pair and the 6♣ turn had his opponent drawing dead before the 4♦ on the river confirmed a double for Santana.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Alexandre Mitjavila opened to 35,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 100,000 by Peter Tordai in the big blind. Mitjavila called.

Mitjavila called a downbet for 45,000 from Tordai on the 6♣Q♣2♠ flop, but folded facing another barrel of 95,000 on the A♠ turn — conceding the pot to Tordai.
