Dijkkamp Felted by Papazian

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

Dutchman Lennart Dijkkamp had reached the final six tables with a short stack and would get the remainder of it into the middle soon after, facing Alexandru Papazian in the following showdown.

Lennart Dijkkamp: {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Alexandru Papazian: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

On a board of {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Papazian made trips fours and that sent Dijkkamp to the rail.

Ut Tam Vo and Abdelhakim Zoufri were the next to fall as the field was whittled down to just 51 contenders.

Haiche Doubles Through Kyte

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

Mehdi Rebsai raised to 30,000 and Jon Kyte three-bet to 75,000. Idir Haiche then jammed for just 170,000 and Rebsai sigh-folded after plenty of consideration. Kyte verified the all-in amount and took around 30 seconds before making the call.

Idir Haiche: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Jon Kyte: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} board let the kicker play and Haiche doubled much to the delight of his French rail.

Ha Has the Last Laugh

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Mauricio Ferreira Pais
Mauricio Ferreira Pais

Nariman Yaghmai and Mauricio Ferreira Pais were all-in and at risk preflop with the latter being the slightly bigger stack on around 250,000. They were both looked up by Woojong Ha, who entered the showdown with the worst pocket pair.

Nariman Yaghmai: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Mauricio Ferreira Pais: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Woojong Ha: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

As the Germans keep on saying especially after the 2014 EPT Barcelona Main Event, "it is always coming seven".

Both shorter stacks remained ahead on the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop and {a-Spades} turn. However, the {7-Clubs} river improved Ha to a full house and that ensured a double knockout.
