Jorgne Hits Not One, But Two Aces to Finish Off Rutherford

David Salituro

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

Soon after losing the massive pot to Kostadin Kostadinov, Timothy Rutherford opened to 16,000 in middle position and Peter Jorgne three-bet to 40,000 in the hijack. Rutherford then moved all in for 372,000 and Jorgne used a time bank before calling.

Timothy Rutherford: K♣K♦
Peter Jorgne: A♥K♠

Jorgne found an ace on the 3♥J♥A♣ flop to take the lead, while the board ran out 8♥A♠ to improve him to trips and send Rutherford to the rail.

"Sorry man," he told Rutherford.

"No worries bro," Rutherford replied as he came by to give Jorgne a fist bump before making his way to the exit.

Byron Kaverman made it 16,000 to go in the cutoff and Sergio Coutinho jammed for 126,000 from one seat over. Both blinds folded and Kaverman called.

Sergio Coutinho: 5♥5♠
Byron Kaverman: A♠Q♦

The J♣9♦4♣ flop was safe for Coutinho but the Q♥ turn improved Kaverman, who also remained ahead on the 9♣ river.

He exited in 124th place for €13,100.

Gheorghe Fedorca open jammed for 51,000 from the cutoff and David Tous Rosich called in the small blind.

Gheorghe Fedorca: K♠K♣
David Tous Rosich: A♣4♣

"No ace please!" asked Fedorca as the dealer spread the 9♥2♠8♦ flop. However, the A♠ turn and Q♥ river was enough to end his deep run.

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

Timothy Adams was in the small blind and pushed the rest of his 140,000 into the middle as Clement Kerrien put him at risk from the cutoff.

Timothy Adams: A♥10♣
Clement Kerrien: J♣J♦

Adams needed to improve against Kerrien's jacks as the flop came 7♣8♠K♠. The Q♥ turn left Adams drawing only to an ace or one of the last two jacks in the deck to make a straight, but he instead saw the 7♦ fall to end his tournament.

Gheorghe Fedorca raised to 17,000 from middle position, Olivier Rebello moved all in for 160,000 from the hijack and Gonzalo Almeida cold-called in the small blind. Fedorca folded and the hand went to a showdown.

Olivier Rebello: K♥Q♥
Gonzalo Almeida: 9♣9♠

The board ran out 10♦4♠8♠6♣A♠; the king-high for Rebello couldn't get there against Almeida's pocket nines and his deep run came to an end.

Dan O'Hair

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

Sirzat Hissou opened to 16,000 on the button and just behind him, Gregory Fournier three-bet to 56,000 from the small blind. Hissou thought a bit and shoved for approximately 200,000 more. Fournier snap-called to put Hissou at risk.

Sirzat Hissou: K♠6♠
Gregory Fournier: A♠A♦

It was bad timing for Hissou, and the 8♦9♥5♥A♥A♣ runout needlessly improved Fournier to quads for the elimination.

Bernat Capdevila Montes: Q♥Q♣
Antoine Camors: K♣K♥

Neugebauer Rivered to the Rail by Barer

Christian Zetzsche

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

Ami Barer raised to 16,000 from an early position with the K♥9♣ and table short stack Max Neugebauer defended the big blind with the Q♦5♥. The Q♠10♠4♦ flop gave Neugebauer top pair and he checked, Barer bet 9,000.

Neugebauer check-raised to 22,000 and earned a call from Barer. The 6♠ followed on the turn and Neugebauer only had 34,000 behind, which he moved into the middle. Barer visibly went through the possible combinations, shook his head and called.

Only a king or jack could knock out Neugebauer and the J♥ river ended his run on the new feature table right after coming back from the break.
