A Winz Wins Situation

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Berthold Winz raised to 2,000 from the hijack and got three-bet to 6,000 by Cesar Reillo in the cutoff. Winz called and the flop came A83.

Winz check-called a bet of 5,500 from Reillo before the duo each checked the J turn.

On the 4 river, Winz led for 10,000 and got a call from Reillo.

Winz showed A7 for a pair of aces and the winner.

Tocci and Kolev Eliminated

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michele Tocci doubled up to around 18,000 with A10 on the button against middle positions A6 after seeing the 2Q772 board.

On a table just across from Tocci, Thomas Eychenne raised to 4,000 from the hijack when Boris Kolev moved all in from the button. Eychenne called.

Kolev Boris: A10All in
Thomas Eychenne: AK

The 10A9JJ runout sealed Kolev's fate, and Eychenne climbed up in the chip counts.

A few hands later, despite Tocci's earlier double, he too was seen walking away from the tables after being eliminated.

Czuczor Busts a Pair

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a three-way pot on the river with the big blind, Maksim Shornikau, already all in with a nub and a side pot of about 40,000 between Ami Barer under the gun and Marton Czuczor on the button, the board read J85K10.

After Barer checked, Czuzcor moved all in, covering Barer's remaining 30,000 chips. Barer thought for a couple of minutes and then called.

Czuczor showed 55 for a flopped set of fives, which sent Shornikau's queen-high quickly to the muck as he left, with Barer following right after with QJ for a losing pair of jacks. Czuczor scooped both pots.

Kassouf Goes Out with Nine High Like a Boss

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
William Kassouf
William Kassouf

About 55,000 was in the middle on a turn board of 862A and Marte Sandberg had checked her big blind to Will Kassouf on the button.

Kassouf moved all in for his last 39,000, sending Sandberg into the tank. After over a minute of thought, she made the call, only to hear the words Kassouf made famous.

"Nine high like a boss," he proudly declared as he revealed that he indeed had his trademark hand and would need help.

Will Kassouf: 95All in
Marte Sandberg: KK

Kassouf's nine-high (like a boss) needed another spade or a seven to come on the river to avoid elimination, but the 10 fell instead, sending the pot to Sandberg and ending Kassouf's day in the tournament.

After the hand, Kassouf joked with the PokerNews live reporting team, "I need to quit doing that. It's getting me in trouble."
