Jain Dusts Danchev

Richard Hayes

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Shashank Jain opened to 3,500 from middle position, and action folded to Dimitar Danchev in the big blind, who produced a three-bet to 13,500. Jain thought for a moment before four-bet jamming for around 71,000 with the slightly covering stack, and Danchev quickly got his chips in the middle.

Dimitar Danchev: A♦K♦ All in
Shashank Jain: Q♣Q♠

It was the classic race, and Danchev missed the 10♥9♦4♠10♠2♠ runout, making it a quick Day 2 for the Bulgarian.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

David Kaufmann opened to 3,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 20,000 by Farid Jattin on the button. Action folded back to Kaufmann, who called.

Farid Jattin: A♦9♠ All in
David Kaufmann: A♠10♥

Jattin's ace was dominated, and although a chop seemed possible, Kaufmann sent him to the rail after the K♠Q♦4♣7♥10♣ runout gave Kaufmann a rivered pair of tens.

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

Aleksandr Kirichenko was getting up out of his chair, looking pretty disgusted with the poker gods after losing his last 50,000, and with good reason after his A♥K♥ was bested by Aliaksandr Shylko's 10♠10♦ on 6♦4♦6♠A♣10♥, Shylko having rivered a two-outer full house to take the pot from Kirichenko's turned two pair aces and sixes.

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

Simon Mattsson opened to 4,500 and Erik Bauer shoved from the small blind for around 40,000. When it got back to Mattsson, he called.

Erik Bauer: 6♣6♥ All in
Simon Mattsson: K♦K♣

"A six is coming, I feel it," said Bauer, who won this event last month at EPT Barcelona.

The dealer didn't agree with Bauer, as the 2♥2♠7♦J♣3♠ runout meant he was eliminated, and Mattsson took the pot.

Lin Uses All Time-Banks, Comes to Wrong Conclusion

Kai Cocklin

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

Masashi Oya had opened the cutoff and Jianwei Lin three-bet from the small blind before Oya four-bet to 33,000. Lin called.

They went to a flop of 7♠6♦Q♥ where Lin check-called a bet of 18,000 from Oya to the 4♦ turn, which went check-check.

A 10♣ dropped on the river and Lin fired 35,000, leaving himself around 40,000 behind. Oya then shoved, which sent Lin deep into the tank. After using all five of his time-bank cards, Lin eventually tossed in the call, which left him at risk.

Oya flipped 9♣8♦ for the nut straight, and Lin was forced to show he made the call with K♥Q♣ for top pair, which meant he was eliminated.

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

Simeon Spasov checked the A♠4♣10♦K♥ turn from the big blind to Dmitrii Kravchenko in the cutoff. Kravchenko made a bet of 12,500 and Spasov called.

Kravchenko then jammed all in for 22,500 on the 3♠ river after another check from Spasov.

Spasov snap-called. Kravchenko tabled A♦K♦ for two pair but it was no match for the Q♠J♠ of Spasov, who eliminated his opponent with a straight.

Tim Baker

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

When it folded to Zhendong Li on the button, he shoved for roughly 40,000. Santiago Nadal looked at his cards in the big blind and snap-called with slightly more chips than Li.

Zhendong Li: K♣9♠ All in
Santiago Nadal: Q♠Q♣

Li had ran into Nadal's ladies and needed to find a king. However, the flop of Q♦2♣5♦ gave Nadal a set and left Li needed runner-runner. The 10♠ offered him one of the cards he needed, but the Q♥ on the river gave Nadal quads, and Li was out.
