Allen Out in Two

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Players were already on a 7109 flop when Yassine Baqal raised from the cutoff and Michael Allen moved all in for around 35,000 from the big blind. Baqal called and the players flipped their cards.

Yassine Baqal: 910All in
Michael Allen: QQ

Baqal had flopped two pair and Allen was looking to improve. The K gave some hope for Allen, but he missed the straight draw when the 5 was placed on the river.

He was left with around 600 chips and was nearly forced all in on the next hand, being in the small blind.

Michael Allen: 103
Opponent: JJ

Allen quickly stood after seeing the J88 flop, and was seen leaving the tournament as the 10 turn and 8 river were placed on the table.

Three-Way Cooler Favors Moene

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Vedat Mutlu opened 2,200 under the gun, and Jelle Moene three-bet to 5,500 from a couple of spots to his left. Jan Zeuschner was in the small blind and jammed for about 12,000 before Mutlu announced all in as well, and Moene called off his stack of 42,700.

Jan Zeuschner: KK All in
Jelle Moene: AA All in
Vedat Mutlu: QQ

It was the ultimate preflop cooler, and the 87722 runout meant Moene's aces were good, sending Zeuschner to the rail and doubing through Mutlu.

Sposato's Boat Buries Berry

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Gaspare Sposato
Gaspare Sposato

Gaspare Sposato opened for 2,000 and Hector Berry shoved for his last 17,000 out of the big blind. Sposato called to put Berry at risk.

Hector Berry: JJ All in
Gaspare Sposato: A10

Berry just had to fade an ace or running straight or flush cards to stay in the tournament. However, the flop of A10Q propelled Sposato into the lead with top and bottom pair. The 4 turn and 10 river improved Sposato to a full house, sending Berry to the rail.

Alvarez's Mood Goes From Delight to Dismay as Bastida Scoops Three-Way All In

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Juan Bastida
Juan Bastida

A three-way all in pot played out between Cristian Alvarez, Nicola Spallanzani, and Juan Bastida with two of the players sharing the same hand.

Juan Bastida: AK All in
Cristian Alvarez: QQ All in
Nicola Spallanzani: AK

It was a dream scenario for Alvarez, who only needed to win a flip to almost triple up. Spallanzani had the biggest stack, but it seemed unlikely that he could scoop the pot unless the board brought some surprises.

A flop of 36J was safe for Alvarez, but Bastida did pick up the nut flush draw. An A on the turn sunk Alvarez as he was drawing to just one out, but left Bastida delighted as he was freerolling for the main pot. Bastida spiked his flush on the 6 river and thumped the table in celebration, as Alvarez was sent to the rail.

Niall Farrell

Action was followed from the river with a board of JQ9Q5. Malcolm Franchi bet 25,000 on the flop from the big blind, into at pot of around 18,000. The action was on Niall Farrell to make the call for his remaining stack.

Farrell folded and was left with around 15,000 chips. He moved all in on the next hand against a middle position open and was called.

Niall Farrell: A9All in
Middle position: AK

Farrell didn't improve on the Q3784 board, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Dogan Sends Grigoryan Home Via the Backdoor

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Hrayr Grigoryan
Hrayr Grigoryan

On a flop of 5QJ, Hrayr Grigoryan committed the last of his stack to the pot and Deniz Dogan made the call.

Hrayr Grigoryan: A4 All in
Deniz Dogan: 87

Both players had flush draws which was great for Grigoryan, but not so much for Dogan. A 10 on the turn did add a few extra outs for Dogan as he picked up a gutshot, and he spiked it on the 9 river as he completed a backdoor straight. Grigoryan couldn't believe it and took a picture of the board before he left the tournament area.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Maria Konnikova
Maria Konnikova

Three players went to the AK4 flop, and Davidi Kitai checked from the big blind to Artsiom Lasouski who fired 1,800 from under the gun. Maria Konnikova was on the button and put in a raise to 6,000, forcing Kitai out of the pot and Lasouski made the call.

The J fell on the turn and Lasouski checked to Konnikova as she continued for 15,000. Lasouski only took a couple of seconds before jamming for roughly 17,000 and Konnikova snap-called.

Artsiom Lasouski: KJ All in
Maria Konnikova: A4

Lasouski turned two pair but Konnikova had flopped aces up and the 2 river changed nothing, sending him to the rail.

Nasreddine Busts Navarro

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Lucia Navarro
Lucia Navarro

Aaron Olechnowicz opened from the hijack and Rania Nasreddine called from the small blind. Lucia Navarro jammed from the big blind and only Nasreddine made the call.

Lucia Navarro: AJAll in
Rania Nasreddine: JJ

Navarro was at risk of elimination and needed to improve to stay alive.

The 844 flop didn't help Navarro and neither did the 2 5 runout.
