Wilson Ousts Defending Champ in Double Knockout

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

Gonzalo Pro shoved for approximately 20,000 first to act and just behind him, [Removed:553] also went all in for slightly more. It was then folded to Chase Wilson in the big blind, who called to put both players at risk.

Gonzalo Pro: A♦J♥All in
[Removed:553]: 10♦10♠All in
Chase Wilson: A♣Q♠

The Q♥8♥4♣ flop paired Wilson's queen and left both Pro and Simon drawing slim.

The 3♥ turn nor 6♦ river changed anything and Wilson sent both players to the rail.

Simon entered and busted yesterday in Day 1a, which means a new champion will be crowned this year.

Epic Four-Way Showdown Ends in Double Knockout

Tomas Vaskunas opened the action with a raise from middle position, and Yesset Aimukhanov, sitting in the hijack, responded by going all in. Mihai Niste followed suit from the button, pushing his entire stack forward as well. But the excitement didn’t stop there—Viktors Vorobjovs in the small blind took some time before also committing his chips. When the action circled back to Vaskunas, he made the call, setting up a massive four-way all-in showdown.

Yesset Aimukhanov: 10♦10♥All in
Tomas Vaskunas: K♠K♣All in
Viktors Vorobjovs: Q♥Q♦All in
Mihai Niste: J♠J♦

The kings were in the lead, but that changed on the turn when the board ran out 6♥6♦7♦J♥, giving Niste a full house, jacks over sixes.

However, with one card to come, the dealer revealed the K♥ on the river, flipping the script once again as Vaskunas hit a full house, kings over sixes.

Vaskunas covered Aimukhanov and scooped 28,000 in chips from both Niste and Vorobjovs. Niste had more chips than Vorobjovs, so he took the side pot. Two eliminations resulted, while Vaskunas nearly quadrupled his stack.

Felipe Ketzer open-raised to 1,600 from the hijack. Salvatore Camarda then three-bet to 4,500 from the button before Florian Duta committed his stack of 25,700 from the big blind.

Ketzer quickly folded but Camarda asked for a count. He thought some more after he had received it, collected calling chips from his stack, and put them in the middle.

Florian Duta: 8♥8♣ All in
Salvatore Camarda: 9♦9♣

Camarda's better pair easily held on the 7♥5♦4♦4♠7♦ runout, sending Duta to the rail.

Pascal Hartmann shoved for his last 5,000 on the button and just behind him, Francesco Favia called from the small blind to put Hartmann at risk.

Pascal Hartmann: K♣2♣All in
Francesco Favia: A♥8♦

Hartmann would need some help, but the 6♥J♣10♦5♦A♣ runout left Favia best with a pair of aces and Hartmann was eliminated.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Uladzmir Zhyharau opened to 1,300 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 3,000 by Cindy Kerslake in middle position.

Action folded back to Zhyharau, who quickly moved all in with the covering stack. Kerslake rapidly got the remainder of her 13,800 total stack into the middle.

Cindy Kerslake: J♠J♥ All in
Uladzmir Zhyharau: A♠Q♣

Kerslake was ahead in a race, but that didn't last beyond the K♠Q♠4♣ flop, which put her opponent in front with a pair of queens.

The 3♣ turn was a brick, and the A♦ river improved Zhyharau further to two pair, sending him the pot and sending Kerslake to the rail.

Fintan Hand
Fintan Hand

Around 30,000 was in the middle already in a hand between Fintan Hand and Helma Weber, in early and middle position respectively.

The board read A♥5♣9♦5♠, and Hand fired out a bet of 12,500. After some thought, Weber called.

The 7♠ river completed the board. Hand moved all in with the covering stack and Weber quickly got her remaining 13,000 into the middle.

Hand turned over A♣K♠ for two pair aces and fives, while Weber had A♦Q♥ for the same hand, but Hand's better kicker sent him the pot, and sent the unfortunate Weber to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Atanas Pavlov opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 1,100. Seated on the button, Adrian State decided to three-bet to 2,500, prompting Pavlov to shove all in. Without hesitation, State called.

Atanas Pavlov: A♣10♣All in
Adrian State: 10♥10♠

Pavlov was looking for help from the board, but the flop didn’t provide any, coming down 4♠2♣4♦.

The turn brought the 10♦, giving State a full house and leaving Pavlov drawing dead.

The 2♠ on the river was just a formality, sealing Pavlov's fate and sending him to the rail while State added to his stack.
