Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Khazret Nebezhev opened with a bet of 80,000 on the button and Vlad Darie defended his big blind.

On the A♥10♣Q♠ flop Darie check-called a bet of 55,000 from Nebezhev.

The J♦ turn was checked through by both players.

On the 5♣ river Darie led out with a bet of 225,000 and after quite some time thinking, Nebezhev folded.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised to 110,000 from early position and Aliaksei Boika three-bet to 240,000 on the button. Action folded back to Lonis, who asked for a count before announcing he was all in, which was enough to put Boika all in for approximately 800,000 total. Boika quickly called and hands were revealed.

Aliaksei Boika: J♠J♣
Jesse Lonis: 7♠7♦

Boika was in great shape to double with his overpair, but the 10♥7♣8♣ flop vaulted Lonis into the lead with a set of sevens and left Boika drawing slim.

The K♥ turn and K♦ river changed nothing and with that pot, Lonis is now over three million in chips.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Fabiano Kovalski raised to 190,000 in the hijack, leaving himself 100,000 behind, and Joao Mestre called in the cutoff. Naim Ouachekradi also called in the big blind.

The flop came 7♠7♣6♥ and Kovalski bet 90,000. Mestre called while Ouachekradi folded. The turn was the 8♦ and Kovalski checked as Mestre put in 10,000.

"It's more," Kovalski joked as he tossed in his last chips and turned over K♥8♥ for two pair. Mestre had A♦10♥ and was left paying off Kovalski after the J♦ river.

"You called me with ace-high, huh," Kovalski added after the hand.

Segebrecht Wrecks Gubler

Richard Hayes

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and Claas Segebrecht was all-in and at risk versus Thomas Gubler.

Claas Segebrecht: A♦Q♦
Thomas Gubler:A♠K♥

Segebrecht was in bad shape with a dominated ace, but the 10♣5♠J♣ flop brought some hope with a straight draw, although Gubler had one of his outs.

The 3♣ turn was a brick, but the K♠ rolled off on the river to give Segebrecht the straight and the double.

Gubler actually very briefly thought he'd won the pot, and had quietly celebrated, before his tablemates pointed out the straight.

Claas Segebrecht	2,550,000 1,150,000	1,150,000
Thomas Gubler	65,000 485,000	485,000

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 7♣K♥6♥, Renji Mao moved all in for 117,000 from the big blind and Louis Linard called under the gun.

Renji Mao: A♠7♥
Louis Linard: K♦J♥

Linard was ahead with his pair of kings as the 8♦ turn left Mao a card away from elimination. The river, though, was the A♦ and Mao improved to two pair to double up.

Renji Mao	650,000 260,000	260,000
Louis Linard	375,000 625,000	625,000

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action was folded to Valdas Tamasauskas in the cutoff, who opened to 500,000, leaving himself only 200,000 behind.

Benjamin Chalot moved all in from the button and Tamasauskas had little choice but to make the call to put Chalot at risk.

Benjamin Chalot: A♦9♦
Valdas Tamasauskas: K♦J♦

Chalot was in great shape with ace-high versus king-high, while also covering the flush draw, and the 8♥5♥9♥8♣2♥ runout confirmed Chalot's double-up with a pair of nines.

Player	Chips	Progress
Benjamin Chalot	920,000 240,000	240,000
Vladas Tamasauskas	200,000 610,000	610,000

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Candido Cappiello moved all in for his last 550,000 from the button and Sokratis Linaras called in middle position.

Candido Cappiello: A♥Q♦
Sokratis Linaras: A♣K♥

Cappiello found himself dominated as the board ran out 3♦J♠2♠5♠9♥ to give the pot to Linaras and send Cappiello to the exit.

Thomas Gubler, Vladas Tamasauskas, Denzel Spekman, and Khazret Nebezhev were also recently eliminated.

Schwaederle Makes the Right Call

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dan O'Hair

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Cedric Schwaederle opened to 100,000 from early position and was called by Michel Leibgorin in middle position and Mathias Siljander in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Siljander checked to Schwaederle on the 10♠5♦10♣ flop and he continued for 100,000. Leibgorin folded and Siljander called.

Both players checked on the A♥ turn and then Siljander led out for 450,000 after the 3♦ completed the board. Schwaederle went deep into the tank, but eventually stuck in calling chips.

Siljander tabled 5♣4♦, which was no good against Schwaederle‘s A♣7♣ for a higher two pair and Schwaederle collected the pot.
