Turchi Eliminated by Caridade

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

Virgile Turchi moved all-in for the last 43,500 and was called only by Ricardo Caridade in the small blind, one of the larger stacks at the table.

Virgile Turchi: KJ
Ricardo Caridade: AK

The 862 flop was a tease for Turchi but he failed to get there on the 9 turn as well as the Q river.

Mamut Eliminated by Ahoor

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

Parham Ahoor raised to 5,000 and then faced the three-bet shove for 34,500 by Nikolai Mamut. The reluctant call followed and Mamut was ahead going into the following showdown.

Nikolai Mamut: JJ
Parham Ahoor: A2

The suited ace instantly got there with the AK9 flop but Mamut gained some outs with the 10 turn. No jack or queen followed, instead it was the 5 river that ended Mamut's run.

"At Least I Don't Have to Speak English Anymore"

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

Action folded around to Eric Wetzel, who shoved all in from the small blind for around 35,000. Alexandru Lupuleac made the call in the big blind and had Wetzel well covered as players flipped their cards.

Eric Wetzel: 88
Alexandru Lupuleac: A8

The board ran out 51047A. Wetzel was well ahead with pocket eights, until Lupuleac paired his ace on the river. Wetzel let out a gasp and then stood to take his leave.

"At least I don't have to speak English anymore," said Wetzel.

Delafontaine Plays for It All

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

The pot stood at 24,500 with two players looking at a board of 3J79.

Adrian Ibanescu, in the big blind, check-called a bet of 13,000 from Jean-Archibald Delafontaine, in the cutoff.
