Lee and Andersson Bust to Bubble the Tournament

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

There were two all in and calls during hand for hand play. In the first one, Hon Cheong Lee opened from middle position to 15,000 and Ange Besnainou called on the button, as did Thomas Lilamand from the big blind.

After it checked to Lee on the Q83 flop, he fired out a bet of 20,000 and was met with a shove all in for 105,000 by Besnainou. Lilamand folded, but Lee made the call for his last 60,000.

Hon Cheong Lee: AA All in
Ange Besnainou: QQ

Besnainou had flopped top set and had Lee drawing to just two outs. The 9 turn and 9 didn't give Lee the ace he needed to stay alive, and he had busted just shy of making Day 2.

At the same time on another table, Fredrik Andersson got his 185,000 into the middle preflop with Salvatore Camarda making the call to put him at risk.

Fredrik Andersson: AK All in
Salvatore Camarda: 88

The flop of 8K5 gave Camarda a set of eights and Andersson had to hit running cards to make it to Day 2. The 9 turn and 10 river sealed Andersson's exit from the tournament at the hands Camarda.

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

In a preflop confrontation Tom Vogelsang was all in from the button for around 100,000 and up against Bradley Harwood who covered him from early position.

Tom Vogelsang: JJ All in
Bradley Harwood: AA

The best preflop hand held up on the 9Q6102 runout and Vogelsang was sent to the rail three spots shy of making the money while Harwood took the pot.

Meanwhile at another table, Eric Joss was all in from under the gun for around 75,000 and up against Dominique Franchi who covered him from the big blind.

Eric Joss: AJ All in
Dominique Franchi: KQ

The board ran out 8Q663 giving Franchi queens up to send Joss to the rail two spots shy of making the money.

Players are now hand for hand on the stone bubble.

Larrosa's Big Slick Busts Deveson

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

Max Deveson got his last 95,000 into the middle preflop with Cristian Espineira Larrosa being the player to try and eliminate him.

Max Deveson: AQ All in
Cristian Espineira Larrosa: AK

Deveson needed to find a queen if he was to remain in the tournament. However, the J5956 runout didn't improve either player and Larrosa's ace-king high had sent Deveson to the rail.

Rahmouni Flops an Ace to Stay Alive

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

Fabiano Kovalski was all-in from early position for 33,000 and Ali Rahmouni had shoved over the top for 81,000. Cagdas Ersoy had them both covered and called to try and get the double knockout.

Fabiano Kovalski: 33 All in
Ali Rahmouni: AQ All in
Cagdas Ersoy: KK

Ersoy was ahead with kings, but the JA8 flop gave Rahmouni top pair and catapulted him into the lead. The 7 turn and 6 river didn't change anything, and Rahmouni won the pot, while Kovalski busted.

Spragg Runs into Rockets

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Benjamin Spragg
Benjamin Spragg

Benjamin Spragg opened to 10,500 from middle position and Henok Tekle three-bet to 23,000 from the hijack. Spragg, who covered Tekle slightly, four-bet shoved for around 90,000 and Tekle called, putting himself at risk.

Henok Tekle: AA All in
Benjamin Spragg: KQ

Spragg failed to crack the aces on the 476Q4 runout and was left with just 9,000 chips while Tekle scored a full double up. Spragg managed to double up his short stack at least once but it was not enough and he was sent to the rail shortly afterwards.

Coles Runs Into Aces

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jean Coles shoved for 35,000 from middle position and was only called by Christophe Pommier in the seat to his direct left.

Jean Coles:AQ All in
Christophe Pommier :AA

The flop of 4K8 meant that only running cards could help Coles crack Pommier's aces. It didn't happen though as the rest of the board ran out 22 and Pommier's pocket aces ended Coles' tournament.
