Bogdanov Busts to Lehut

Ben Weiss

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was joined with short stack Yulian Bogdanov all in for his tournament life against Jean-Vincent Lehut.

Yulian Bogdanov: A♦J♠
Jean-Vincent Lehut: 2♦2♣

Bogdanov missed the 9♠7♥10♣ flop but did gain extra outs.

A 10♦ kept Lehut in front but gave the Bulgarian further outs, with Lehut's deuces at risk of being counterfeited.

But the 3♣ river was a good one for the Frenchman and Bogdanov bust in 12th place.

"Always Coming Seven"

Tyler Foran

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop, and it was Fahredin Mustafov at risk for about 150,000 against Sirzat Hissou.

Fahredin Mustafov: K♣K♦
Sirzat Hissou: 7♠7♣

The A♣A♥Q♣ flop looked promising for Mustafov, as did the 10♦ turn, but the 7♦ river gave Hissou a full house to send Mustafov to the rail.

"It's always coming seven," Said Niklas Astedt as Mustafov left the room.

"I was thinking the same," replied Hissou.

Nemeth Busts O'Dwyer to Break a Million

Ben Weiss

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Pablo Silva opened to 18,000 from the hijack. He was called by big stack Andras Nemeth from the cutoff, before Steve O'Dwyer shoved over the top from the button. Silva folded, but Andras couldn't let his hand go and the Irishman was at risk.

Steve O'Dwyer: K♣Q♣
Andras Nemeth: A♥Q♥

O'Dwyer hit the flop, as it came K♦4♠5♥.

But the A♣ turn swung the hand back in the favour of the Hungarian.

A 10♣ completed the board, knocking out O'Dwyer while making Nemeth the first player in the tournament to reach the illustrious one-million-chip mark.

Tyler Foran

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Eduardo Pereira opened 16,000 in early position before Andras Nemeth announced all-in, a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back to Pereira and he called off his stack of about 233,000.

Eduardo Pereira: A♦K♣
Andras Nemeth: 8♥8♦

It was a race but the 10♠8♠5♠ flop gave Nemeth a set of eights to have Pereira nearly drawing dead. The 4♦ turn sealed his fate and the 7♦ river was just a formality as he tapped the table and said good luck to the players.
