Abdulzahra Comes Out on Top in Rollercoaster Runout

Kai Cocklin

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Valentin Schramm on the button and Ali Abdulzahra from the small blind got their chips into the middle preflop, with the former at risk for his stack of around 60,000.

Valentin Schramm: A♦10♦ All in
Ali Abdulzahra: K♠Q♦

Schramm was marginally ahead, but it was Abdulzahra who took the lead on the 6♥Q♣10♥ flop after he paired his queen. However, the A♠ turn saw Schramm regain control as he made two pair with just one card to come.

A queen or a jack were what Abdulzahra needed, and that's what he got when the Q♥ river improved him to trips, which ended Schramm's run.

Toni Kaukua moved all in for 28,000 and was looked up by Birger Larsen in the big blind.

Toni Kaukua: A♥8♠ All in
Birger Larsen: A♦9♦

Kaukua's ace was pipped but the K♠Q♠5♠ flop was a good one, giving him a spade draw. His flush completed on the 6♠ turn with the 7♠ river completing the board and Kaukua's double.

Petr Mikulacek moved all in from middle position for 34,000. Jakup Breckmann made the call from the cutoff before the button and blinds folded.

Petr Mikulacek: J♣8♣ All in
Jakup Breckmann: 7♠7♥

Mikulacek hit an eight across the 8♥10♣K♦6♠A♥ runout to secure the double up. He thanked Breckmann, who replied, "No worries, a gift for you."

Pinna Doubles Through Dahl; Filstein Spins Up From One Big Blind

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kristian Dahl raised to 10,000 from under the gun and Victor Pinna shoved from the next seat for 76,000. When the action got back to Dahl, he took his time before he dropped in the call with a stack of around 100,000.

Victor Pinna: 9♦9♠ All in
Kristian Dahl: A♥Q♣

It was a fair flip where Pinna kept his advantage through the 5♠K♠8♣ flop and even picked up a flush draw on the J♠ turn. Dahl needed to connect with the river, but instead Pinna improved to a set when the 9♣ completed the board, which earned him a double-up.

On the same table is Arik Filstein, who was down to just one big blind not too long ago, but has gone on a major spin-up and now has around 200,000 in front of him.

Player	Chips	Progress
Arik Filstein	200,000 19,000	19,000
Victor Pinna	160,000 160,000	160,000

Abrahamsson Cracks Koloszar

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Koloszar was all in for 100,000 and at risk versus Daniel Abrahamsson.

Daniel Koloszar: K♣K♦ All in
Daniel Abrahamsson: J♣10♣

Koloszar looked in great shape, but was in trouble after the 8♣5♣3♣ flop gave his opponent a flush.

Koloszar still had outs to a higher flush. The K♥ turn gave him extra outs with top set if he filled up, but the Q♥ river was a brick, sending the unfortunate Koloszar to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a board of A♥7♣8♣10♦7♦, there were around 40,000 chips in the middle when Nicolas Bokowski checked from the big blind and Aleksey Cherkasov bet 20,000 from middle position. Bokowski then shoved, which put Cherkasov to the test for his remaining stack of 40,000. Some time went by while Cherkasov tried to piece together the puzzle, and eventually he called.

Bokowski then showed a straight with J♣9♦, and Cherkasov was forced to show A♠9♠ before he departed, which left Bokowski with a stack of almost 450,000!

Nicolas Bokowski	450,000 275,000	275,000

Alex Romero was all in for 25,000 and at-risk versus Arturs Vasilevskis.

Alex Romero: A♣3♥ All in
Arturs Vasilevskis: A♥J♥

Romero's ace was dominated, and the 7♦5♦2♦10♥J♣ runout did not provide him with any salvation, Vasilevskis taking the pot with a pair of jacks.

It's Over for Degen

Maxime Taldir

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jonas Degen jammed for 25,000 from middle position. Victor Salinier in the cutoff seemed tempted, but folded. However Nico Wendlant in the small blind chose to click-back to 45,000, making the big blind fold.

Jonas Degen: K♥Q♦ All in
Nico Wendlant: A♣Q♣

The board of 5♥9♣A♠4♣10♦ was no help for Degen, who was eliminated.
