Schwippert Finds a Miracle to Survive

Tim Baker

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

Jan-Eric Schwippert shoved from the button for 105,000 with Renato Grossi making the call from the blinds to put him at risk.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: Q♠9♦ All in
Renato Grossi: K♠9♠

Grossi had Schwippert dominated, and when the K♥5♣9♥ flop fell to give Grossi two pair, Schwippert needed running cards to stay alive. The J♣ turn provided Schwippert with a straight draw, which he hit on the 10♣ river, keeping him in contention in the event.

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

Mathieu Goncalves opened to 75,000 from under the gun and Thomas Lilamand took around 2 minutes before making a call from the hijack.

The players went heads-up to the 10♣8♠2♣ flop and both checked to the 5♥ turn.

Goncalves bet 175,000 and Lilamand took some time, around 3 minutes, before folding and handing the pot to Goncalves.

Goncalves showed his A♦A♠ hand to the table as he scooped up the pot.

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

Pablo Brito defended from the big blind to a middle position open from Bernat Carreras.

The two players saw the dealer fan out a flop of Q♥7♠5♦. After Brito checked, Carreras put out a continuation-bet of 23,000. Brito check-raised to 90,000 and Carreras called.

Brito bet 120,000 on the 4♠ turn and Carreras called.

The 2♠ river got checked by both players and Carreras took down the pot with A♠Q♦ for top pair top kicker, while Brito turned over K♦6♦ for just a king-high bluff.

Player	Chips	Progress
Pablo Brito	880,000 542,000	542,000
Bernat Carreras	800,000 253,000	253,000

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

Kimmo Kurko opened to 100,000 from early position, leaving about 20,000 behind. Andrii Andrieiev raised enough from the blinds to put Kurko all in and Kurko called, putting himself at risk.

Kimmo Kurko: 9♠9♥ All in
Andrii Andrieiev: 5♠5♣

Kurko was in great shape to double up with the bigger pocket pair until Andrieiev drilled a set on the 5♦7♦2♣ flop leaving Kurko drawing to just two outs. Kurko was unable to catch a nine when the rest of the board ran out 4♦Q♦ and was sent to the rail while Andrieiev claimed the last of his chips.

Kai Cocklin

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

With over 300,000 chips already in the pot on a flop of Q♣2♦10♥, Giorgio Da Silva bet 65,000, and David Miscikowski raised to 175,000. Da Silva called.

A 7♣ came on the turn and after Da Silva checked, Miscikowski shoved. Da Silva had around 340,000 in his stack and clearly had a difficult decision as around three minutes went by before a player at the table called the clock. Once the countdown got to one second, Da Silva released his hand and Miscikowski was pushed the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Miscikowski	2,300,000 390,000	390,000

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

Action was followed from the 5♥K♣Q♣ flop with Natan Chauskin on the button and Saymon Dias in the big blind.

Dias check raised to 40,000 after Chauskin bet 15,000. Chauskin called and the players went to a 10♥ turn.

Dias put 100,000 chips into the pot on the turn and Chauskin made a quick call.

The A♠ river prompted a check from Dias and Chauskin moved all in. Dias folded and left Chauskin to take the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
