Kotliar Joins the Rail

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Adrian Kyiak and Anton Kotliar were heads up on a flop of 8♣J♠2♣. With around 75,000 chips in the pot, Kotliar checked from the hijack after which Kyiak made a bet of 25,000 from the cutoff.

Kotliar called and then led all-in for 58,000 once the 3♣ turn was dealt. Kyiak tanked for a few minutes before putting in the call, putting his opponent at risk.

Anton Kotliar: J♦J♣
Adrian Kyiak: A♥Q♣

The 4♣ river gave both players a flush, but Kyiak's was higher. He busted Kotliar and chipped up to nearly 100 big blinds.

D'Alessio Does Not Survive Opening Level

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Michele Nizzardelli had raised to 17,000 from the hijack when Ferdinando D'Alessio decided to push his stack of 49,000 in from the small blind.

Nizzardelli asked for a count and called after D'Alessio's stack was confirmed.

Ferdinando D'Alessio: K♠J♠
Michele Nizzardelli: A♥10♠

D'Alessio flopped a pair on 4♣K♥3♠, but the A♦ turn dashed his hopes. He stood up while the 2♦ river completed the board, sealing the fate of his High Roller run.

Silva Chips Up by Busting Murphy

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Thomas Murphy open-raised to 20,000 from the hijack before Pablo Silva three-bet to 60,000 from the small blind. Murphy then jammed all in for 155,000 when the action was back on him, and Silva made the call with the covering stack.

Thomas Murphy: J♠J♥
Pablo Silva: K♦Q♦

Murphy flopped a set on 10♠A♦J♣, but Silva had the better hand with a straight. The board did not pair on the Q♠6♣ runout, meaning that Murphy was eliminated from the High Roller.

Logarzo Fails to Make First Break

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Giovanni Logarzo pushed in his last 52,000 chips from the cutoff and was looked up by Tamer Kamel on the button, who had the covering stack.

Giocanni Logarzo: A♦3♣
Tamer Kamel: K♥Q♦

Kamel flopped the better pair on K♠4♥3♦. Neither player improved on the J♥6♥ runout, which meant that Logarzo was forced to leave the tournament area.

Kamel, on the other hand, had quadrupled the stack he started Day 2 with in the first three levels.

Dzhura's Dead on the Turn

Ollie Garland

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

After a preflop raising war, Yevhen Dzhura in the cutoff found himself all in and at risk for his remaining 400,000, against Khazret Nebezhev, in the big blind.

Yevhen Dzhura: A♣Q♠
Khazret Nebezhev: A♦K♠

The K♣3♦8♦ was enough to get Dzhura out of his seat. The K♥ turn and 7♠ river solidified his fate nad he made his way to the rail.
