Ficarra Fails to Connect

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

Rocco Ficarra moved all in for 11,300 from middle position with 109 and was called by Andrii Nikitin on the button, who had KJ.

The A345A runout meant Nikitin's king-high was good enough to claim the pot and elimination.

Both players hit top pair on the 48Q flop, but Appleton's king-kicker continued to play through the 8 turn and 2 river to send Bellamine to the rail.

Papazian Falls to Moursy

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

Abdelrahman Moursy raised to 2,500 in middle position before Juliane Papazian moved all in for 15,000 in the small blind. "I'm trying to get chips," Papazian said. Moursy eventually called.

Juliane Papazian: QJ All in
Abdelrahman Moursy: A4

"You're ahead," Papazian told Moursy even before the cards were revealed. The flop came 3A5 and Moursy hit top pair. The K fell on the turn, while the river was the 5 to send Papazian to the rail.

Laugt Flops a Set; Still Busts

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Quentin Laugt
Quentin Laugt

Bo Alm opened to 3,000 from early position and was called by Georgios Vrakas from middle position.

Quentin Laugt jammed for 24,000 from the hijack and then Andreas Vlachos rejammed as the bigger stack from the cutoff. Alm and Vrakas folded and the cards went on their backs.

Quentin Laugt: 44 All in
Andreas Vlachos: QQ

Laugt began leaving his seat, but a tablemate told him to sit back down after he made a set on the 843 flop. Laugt then sort of hovered as his opponent had outs to the flush. The turn was a brick, but the 5 river gave Vlachos the winner.

"Well, it was nice playing with you anyways," said the same tabelmate.

Dalfo then moved all in and Estrada called for her last 12,000. She showed KJ, but Dalfo had AJ for top pair, ace-kicker to send the PokerStars Silver Path winner to the rail.

Three-handed on a board of AQ24, Razvan Bara bet 6,500 from middle position and Richard Dromzee called in the hijack.

Timothy Chung then moved all in for 41,600 in the big blind and Bara called, while Dromzee got out of the way. Chung showed 98 for a flopped flush, but Bara had J10 for a higher flush.

Chung was already drawing dead before the 5 completed the board as Bara took the pot to climb above 200,000.

Di Pietro Runs into Aces in Back-to-Back Hands

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

Luca Di Pietro opened to 3,500 from under the gun before PokerStars Team Pro Julien Brecard three-bet to 8,000 from the hijack. Giuseppe Zarbo called from the cutoff before Di Pietro moved all in for 84,000. Brecard rejammed as the slightly bigger stack and Zarbo folded.

Luca Di Pietro: QQ All in
Julien Brecard: AA

Brecard remained ahead following the J108 flop and 7 turn, but the 9 river gave Di Pietro a straight to leave the Frenchman short. He's been eliminated shortly after.

The following hand, Di Pietro opened to 3,500 again. Michele Perego made it 11,500 and action folded back to Di Pietro. He moved all in and Perego called off the 20,000 he had behind.

Michele Perego: AA All in
Luca Di Pietro: K10

Di Pietro paired up on the KQ5 flop to give him another chance of cracking aces. The A turn left Di Pietro drawing to Broadway, which failed to come in after the 6 completed the board.

Perego breathed a huge sigh of relief and collected the pot.

Joshi Gets a Gift

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

Sachin Joshi opened to 3,000 from under the gun before Boris Angelov three-bet to 7,500 from the cutoff. Mohammed Lasheb called from the small blind and Joshi also stuck around.

On the 986 flop, Lasheb checked before Joshi led out for 6,000. Both opponents called.

On the K turn, Lasheb ripped in his big stack and then Joshi called off his stack of 28,500. Angelov folded.

Sachin Joshi: 88 All in
Mohammed Lasheb: Q10

Joshi was the huge favorite with his set of eights, while Lasheb was drawing to his double-gutter. The 2 river gave Joshi the checkmark to double up.

Lasheb was left with around 60,000 after the hand, but that quickly evaporated as he has since been eliminated.
