Brett Slezak

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

Karl Stroemberg opened to 12,000 from early position and Sofiane Drissi flatted out of the small blind.

The two players went heads up to a flop of 7♥6♦5♣. Drissi decided to lead-jam for 72,000 effective and Stroemberg snapped it off.

Karl Stroemberg: Q♥Q♣ All in
Sofiane Drissi: 10♣7♣

Drissi had flopped top pair but ran into the overpair of Stroemberg. The board ran out 2♦9♥ which was no help to Drissi as he sent chips over in the direction of Stroemberg.

Mengshi Tian raised 12,000 from the small blind and Rafael Amos defended the big blind.

When the J♣3♦2♥ flop hit the felt, Tian continued for 10,000. Amos responded with a raise to 22,000 and Tian called.

The 7♥ landed on the turn and Tian check-called a bet of 22,000.

When the 3♠ paired the board on the river, Tian took the lead once again, pushing 42,000 across the line. Amos took about a minute before deciding to surrender the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Efrim Erdinc opened to 12,000 in early position and was called by Bogdan Tapu in middle position. Action folded to Pantazis Panagiotis in the cutoff, who three-bet jammed to 70,000. Action folded back to Erdinc, who rejammed, forcing out Tapu.

Pantazis Panagiotis: K♦Q♦ All in
Efrim Erdinc: A♣Q♥

Panagiotis was in bad shape with a dominated queen, and the 8♠6♠3♥10♣3♦ runout confirmed his exit.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tobias Antelo opened to 12,000 from the cutoff and then called when Meir Amir jammed for 50,000 from the small blind.

Meir Amir: A♦Q♦ All in
Tobias Antelo: A♣K♠

Antelo held the better of the aces and the covering stack and his advantage remained as the board ran out J♣8♠4♥6♣6♥ to send Amir to the rail as the field size ticked down.

Tim Baker

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Martin Zamani raised to 12,000 under the gun and Isidoro Barrena called from the cutoff. Calin Maris shoved for roughly 40,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Zamani, but a call from Barrena.

Calin Maris: 2♠2♣ All in
Isidoro Barrena: A♣K♥

Maris needed to fade an ace or a king (or running straight or flush cards) to stay alive in the tournament. The runout of J♥7♥3♣7♠7♦ improved Maris to a full house, sevens full of deuces, and moved his stack over 100,000.

Isidoro Barrena	275,000 85,500	85,500
Martin Zamani	140,000 85,000	85,000

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mario Trattou opened to 11,000 under the gun and was faced with a three-bet jam to 59,000 by Salvatore Senes in the cutoff. Action folded to Mathijs Mulder in the big blind, who four-bet jammed for ever so slightly more, 61,000. Trattou quickly got out of the way.

Salvatore Senes: 8♣8♥ All in
Mathijs Mulder: A♦A♠

Senes was unfortunate — Mulder had woken up with the goods in the big blind and the K♥9♣5♥2♣J♦ runout confirmed his fate.
