Oterhals Busts Mariwalla

Richard Hayes

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Rohit Mariwalla limped under the gun, and Daniel Oterhals followed suit in the next seat. Francisco Benitez joined the fun on the button, and Philipp Wenzelburger checked his option in the big blind.

On the 8♦K♦4♣ flop, Mariwalla flicked out a bet of 10,000, which only Oterhals called.

The J♣ rolled off on the turn, and Mariwalla checked to his opponent. Oterhals put out a bet of 18,000 and Mariwalla quickly check-jammed for 125,000. Oterhals made the swift call.

Rohit Mariwalla: A♥10♠ All in
Daniel Oterhals: J♠J♥

Mariwalla was drawing to a queen versus Oterhals set of jacks, and it did not arrive on the 7♦ river, sending him to the exit.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

David Docherty raised to 24,000 under the gun and was called by Jeremie Zouari in the cutoff and big blind Guillermo Gordo.

The flop came A♣8♣5♥ and action checked to Zouari who bet 26,000. Only Docherty called.

Both players checked the Q♦ turn and the K♥ fell on the river. Docherty then moved all in.

Zouari burned a time bank before calling for his last 115,000. He showed A♦J♠ for a pair of aces, but Docherty had flopped a set with 8♠8♦ to send Zouari to the rail.

Mohamad El Rais was also eliminated by Jozef Cibicek at the same time on another table.

Andrea Furlanetto: 4♦4♥ All in
Benjamin Pollak: J♣J♦

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Natan Chauskin opened to 17,000 under the gun and action folded to Roman Hrabec in the small blind. He reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 70,000.

Action folded back to Chauskin, who confirmed the amount of the raise, before announcing a four-bet to 190,000. Both players had around 800,000 at the start of the hand, Chauskin having slightly more.

Hrbaec went deep into thought, and disposed of two time banks before moving the rest of his chips into the middle. Chauskin made the quick call to create a huge 1,600,000 pot.

Roman Hrabec: A♦K♠ All in
Natan Chauskin: K♦K♣

In a huge cooler, Hrabec's ace-king was in bad shape versus Chauskin's kings, and matters went further downhill for Hrabec after the K♥8♠3♠ flop gave Chauskin top set.

Hrabec threatened a miraculous escape with the A♣ turn, but the Q♦ river did not bring the ace Hrabec required, and he was sent to the rail.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Enis Rouissi opened to 16,000 from late position before Amaury Mamou-Mani three-bet to 51,000 from the big blind. Rouissi jammed as the big stack and Mamou-Mani called off his stack of 290,000.

Amaury Mamou-Mani: 9♠9♦ All in
Enis Rouissi: A♦K♣

"Nine in the window, never lose," said Mamou-Mani after the dealer put out the Q♦9♣3♦ flop.

"Don't say that," said someone at the table, insinuating that Mamou-Mani may have been speaking too soon.

The 4♦ turn gave Rouissi a flush draw, which came in on the 7♦ river to secure the sickening bust out.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Vladyslav Martynenko had a raise of around 55,000 in front of him from the cutoff before Gerard Carbo moved all in from middle position. Martynenko called for his last 200,000.

Vladyslav Martynenko: A♠J♥ All in
Gerard Carbo: Q♣Q♠

Martynenko caught his ace on the A♦2♥Q♥ flop, but it also gave Carbo a set. Martynenko was already drawing dead by the 9♣ turn, while the 3♠ river sealed his elimination.
