Thomas Eychenne Bubbles the Super High Roller

David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Artur Martirosian raised to 115,000 under the gun and Thomas Eychenne moved all in for 875,000 on the button. Roman Hrabec gave the decision some thought but eventually folded, while Martirosian called to put Eychenne at risk.

Thomas Eychenne: Q♣Q♥ All in
Artur Martirosian: A♥K♣

It was a classic flip, and the 6♦4♣3♣4♥ board left Eychenne poised for a double up with just one card to go. The river, though, brought the K♦ and Martirosian spiked two pair to win the pot and bust Eychenne on the money bubble.

The remaining six players are now bagging up their chips for tomorrow's final table.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Daniel Rezaei put in his last 10,000 from the hijack and then Alexander Zubov three-bet from the button, for more than what Mehdi Chaoui and Thomas Eychenne had in the blinds. Chaoui called off his stack of 310,000 from the small blind before Eychenne got out of the way.

Daniel Rezaei: K♦K♣ All in
Mehdi Chaoui: A♥K♠ All in
Alexander Zubov: J♠10♥

The two short stacks had woke up with premiums, with Rezaei remaining best following the 10♣9♥6♣ flop. Zubov had top pair to put Chaoui on the verge of exit but the K♥ turn meant he was the favorite to take the side pot while Rezaei improved to a set. However, the Q♦ river gave Zubov a straight for the the double bust out.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Vicente Delgado raised to 40,000 in the cutoff, Adrian Mateos three-bet to 180,000 in the small blind, and Delgado called.

Both players checked the 9♣7♣5♥ flop. The turn was the K♦ and Mateos bet 280,000. Delgado called and the Q♠ fell on the river.

Mateos then bet 400,000 and Delgado moved all in for 1,200,000. Mateos snap-called and turned over K♥K♠ for a set of kings, while Delgado showed 5♣5♠ for a flopped set of fives as the start-of-day chip leader was sent to the rail in a massive pot that moved Mateos atop the counts going to the final table.

The remaining nine players are drawing for seats at the final table.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Biao Ding opened to 40,000 from under the gun before Adrian Mateos three-bet to 110,000 from the button.

Ding called to see the J♥6♥3♦ flop, and he check-called for 70,000, bringing in the 4♠ turn. Ding checked for a second time, and Mateos sized up to 260,000. Ding used a time bank before jamming all in for around 700,000 and was snap-called by his opponent.

Biao Ding: A♠J♠ All in
Adrian Mateos: A♣A♦

Ding had top pair top kicker, but ran into Mateos' rockets and could not find his two-outer on the 5♥ river.

Ding's departure leaves the field with ten entries, and those players are on the final table bubble.

Level 13 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 160,000 ante

Action folded to Mehdi Chaoui in the small blind who moved all in as Nikita Kuznetsov snap-called for 180,000 in the big blind. "Can I retract my action?" Chaoui joked as the cards were revealed.

Nikita Kuznetsov: A♠A♦ All in
Mehdi Chaoui: 9♦7♦

Kuznetsov woke up with aces and was a big favorite to double up, but the 10♥7♥6♣ flop gave Chaoui outs with a pair and straight draw. The 7♣ turn gave Chaoui trips and Kuznetsov was already on his way to the exit as the K♦ fell on the river.

Biao Ding: J♣J♠

The 10♣10♠8♦ flop kept Ding ahead and he held out to secure the bust out after the 7♥ turn and 7♦ river.

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded around to Vicente Delgado and Enrico Camosci in the blinds as Camosci got his last 200,000 in the middle and Delgado put him at risk.

Enrico Camosci: A♦9♥ All in
Vicente Delgado: A♠A♥

Delgado had picked up aces and Camosci was left needing a miracle to stay alive in the tournament. He instead watched helplessly as the board ran out 6♦K♦5♣J♣4♣ to send him off to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 7♥5♣3♠, Manuel Fritz bet 23,000 from the big blind and Adrian Mateos raised to 90,000 in the cutoff. Fritz then reraised to 160,000 and Mateos called.

The turn was the 4♣ and Fritz bet 125,000. Mateos called to see the K♣ river, where Fritz bet another 90,000. Mateos then moved all in.

Fritz instantly let out a deep groan as he went deep into the tank considering the decision for his last 380,000. He burned through four time banks and took several minutes before calling. Mateos showed K♥6♥ for a straight and Fritz tossed 4♦3♦ into the muck on his way to the exit.

"He was thinking it was a good card for him, but it was not a good card for him," Mikalai Vaskaboinikau said after Fritz had gone.

Roman Hrabec: A♠2♣

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened to 20,000 from under the gun and was called by Daniel Rezaei from the next seat over. The action folded to Morten Klein who was in the big blind. He jammed for 194,000. Mateos folded ahead of Rezaei snap-calling.

Morten Klein: A♣3♣ All in
Daniel Rezaei: A♠Q♥

The Q♠7♦2♠ flop left Klein drawing to runner-runner. The 9♠ turn confirmed his departure before the K♠ completed the board.
