Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Andreia-Elena Coman raised to 4,500 from the hijack and Luiz Hota Neto put in a three-bet to 17,500 from the cutoff.

Coman then jammed all in and Neto made the call for his tournament life and 68,000 chips after a quick tank.

Luiz Hota Neto: A♠Q♦
Andreia-Elena Coman: A♦K♦

Neto needed help but it did not arrive on the 4♥3♠6♦7♣3♣ runout. He said his goodbyes and quickly joined the many others who were sent to the rail so far in Level 12.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mengqi Chen was on the button and had a raise of 55,000 in front of him as Anatoly Korochenskiy called in the cutoff.

The flop came Q♦8♦7♣ and Korochenkiy open-shoved all in. Chen quickly called for 101,500.

Mengqi Chen: K♥K♣
Anatoly Korochenskiy: A♦K♦

"Huge pot," Korochenskiy said as he stood up from his seat. He was looking to hit his ace or complete a flush draw against Chen's pocket kings, but Chen held up through the J♣ turn and K♠ river to finish with top set and double up in the massive pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Benjamin Spragg jammed his final 15,500 chips in from the cutoff on a board of 8♥Q♣6♣A♠. There were already 28,000 chips in the pot, but his opponent, Gary Mamou in the button, made a quick fold.

Spragg was prompted to show a six but showed the J♦ instead. The next hand, Spragg raised to 4,000 from the button and both blinds folded. This time, he showed J♠J♣.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The board read 10♥10♠3♦2♦4♣ and around 30,000 was in the pot when Luis Rodriguez Cruz moved all in for 59,000.

His opponent Tomasz Gluszko went into the tank but ultimately made the call and was heading for the door when Cruz showed 5♦6♦ for the rivered straight, having also turned a flush draw.

Gluszko had 10♣7♣ for trip tens, but unfortunately for him, he had been overtaken on the river.

Table 53 received a face-lift as four players have already been eliminated. Luigi D'Alterio and defending champion Razvan Belea were already gone and the next to follow was Aliaksandr Hirs.

On a J♦8♣5♦4♥ turn, Hirs bet 15,000 from under the gun with 31,000 behind. Two seats over, Eric Sfez raised to more than 50,000 and Hirs eventually called all-in.

Aliaksandr Hirs: 10♦10♥
Eric Sfez: A♥J♣

The 4♠ on the river paired the board and Hirs also came up second-best.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Down to around 22,000 in chips, Lithuania's Aurelijus Sipavicius moved all-in and found a single caller in Gianluca Speranza.

Aurelijus Sipavicius: Q♣10♣
Gianluca Speranza: 6♣6♥

The classic flip brought just one club and no paint on the 7♥5♥2♠3♠5♣ runout to send Sipavicius out of the tournament.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Terry Vlastos raised to 4,500 under the gun before chip leader Gregory Fournier three-bet to 13,500 in the hijack. Dinesh Alt then moved all in for 52,000 on the button, Sam Greenwood reshoved for around 65,000 in the big blind, and Vlastos and Fournier both folded.

"Kings," Alt asked Greenwood.

"Aces," Greenwood replied.

Dinesh Alt: A♦Q♥
Sam Greenwood: A♠A♣

"Oh no. I need some help," Alt said, but the K♦4♥2♣6♦K♥ board didn't give him any and Greenwood sent him to the rail.

"You guys have anything," Greenwood asked Vlastos and Fournier after Alt had made his exit.

"King," Vlastos replied, saying he had king-jack.

"I had pockets," Fournier added.

Alex Kulev and Rayan Chamas are also at this table.

Gregory Fournier	400,000 40,000	40,000

No Miracle Comeback for Ghassan

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ibrahim Ghassan was all-in for the last 1,000 from under the gun and Max Neugebauer raised to 4,500. Jonathan Borenstein defended the big blind and check-folded the 9♠6♣3♣ flop to a bet of 2,500 by Neugebauer.

Ibrahim Ghassan: Q♠6♠
Max Neugebauer: A♦J♥

Ghassan was ahead and came out on top of the 3♠4♣ runout.

One hand later, Edward Yam opened to 4,000 and Ghassan called all-in for as much out of the big blind.

Ibrahim Ghassan: 10♠7♠
Edward Yam: A♥9♥

A roller coaster board of A♠K♠10♥3♥4♠ ensured another double for Ghassan.

"They are writing down your name," Andrew Hulme joked as a potential chip and a chair comeback could unfold. Unfortunately, that was not the case as Ghassan bowed out shortly after.
