Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a flop of 9♠5♥2♥ with 7,800 in the pot, Kerryjane Craigie in the big blind moved all in for 22,900. Bruno Bernardino, who checked from the small blind, went into the tank and eventually made the call.

Kerryjane Craigie: 7♠5♠ All in
Bruno Bernardino: A♥10♥

"Hold," Craigie said, with her pair against Bernardino's flush draw. The 3♦ didn't change anything, but the A♠ river gave the best pair to Bernardino, sending Craigie to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Daniel Zadok open-raised to 2,500 from middle position and picked up two calls before Philipp Wood moved all in from the button for 25,000. Only Zadok called and had the covering stack as players flipped their cards.

Philipp Wood: 7♣7♦ All in
Daniel Zadok: 8♣8♠

Wood was dominated and found no help as the board ran out K♦A♠K♠5♦4♠. Zadok held with his pocket eights, making two pair with the kings on board to win the pot, while Wood was eliminated as the tournament reached the last level of play.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Felix Schlott had a shot at a 100,000-chip stack, but instead was eliminated in the penultimate level of the day.

The full board of 6♠10♥9♦5♥Q♣ was already showing with Schlott's Q♥J♥ having rivered a pair of queens after missing an open-ended straight draw. However, Mohamad El Rais had flopped a set of sixes with 6♥6♣, and after the stacks were counted down, Schlott had just 700 remaining.

Those 700 found their way into the middle in the next hand and Silvio Vitelli rivered a flush, which dispatched Schlott.

Mohamad El Rais	100,000

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After Ran Ilani, under the gun, bet 15,100 and was called by Alen Sabic to his left, PokerStars Team Pro Barny Boatman in the small blind three-bet all in for 69,500. Ilani jammed with the 14,000 he had left and Sabic called, finding himself at risk for 53,500.

Ran Ilani: A♥K♣ All in
Alen Sabic: K♦10♦ All in
Barny Boatman: 8♠8♦

Sabic flopped two pair on 10♥K♠3♥, and the runout kept him in the lead so he tripled up while Ilani was eliminated. Moments later, Boatman was seen walking away as well.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Leo Worthington-Leese raised from late position and Vanessa Kade three-bet to 7,500 from the button. Worthington-Leese then pushed all in for 67,000 and Kade didn't hesitate for long before she made the call. Worthington-Leese was at risk as players flipped their cards.

Leo Worthington-Leese: A♦3♦ All in
Vanessa Kade: Q♣Q♠

Kade further improved as the board ran out 4♣K♦Q♥5♥8♥ to give her a set of queens on the flop. She scooped in a massive pot and Worthington-Leese exited the tournament.

Players commented on how Kade had just joined the table and was eliminating players left, right and center. Kade laughed as she added the chips to her stack.

Gianluca Cammarata: A♠4♠ All in
Ludovic Geilich: K♦J♠

There was no hope for Cammarata as on K♠J♥J♣A♣6♠, Gellich flopped a full house to scoop the pot.

Kabrhel’s Gut Instinct Sends Lauck Out

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Martin Kabrhel made it 2,400 from the hijack and Jonas Lauck shoved for almost 19,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Kabrhel, he took his time to think it over, then made the call with his stack of just over 30,000, which put Lauck at risk.

Jonas Lauck: J♣J♥ All in
Martin Kabrhel: 10♣8♣

Lauck was in a great spot to double up, but suddenly didn't feel too comfortable upon seeing the 8♥6♣7♠ flop, as Kabrhel made a pair and picked up a straight draw. A 10♠ on the turn improved Kabrhel to two pair, which meant Lauck had one chance to survive.

The 8♠ river wasn't the card Lauck needed as Kabrhel improved to a full house, which sent the Austrian player to the sidelines.

As Lauck made his way to the exit, he couldn't resist a parting quip to Kabrhel, "How did you know?"

Matt Warburton

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In the first of two consecutive hands, Dean Hutchinson moved all in from the button for 8,600 and Marcin Zawadzki called in the big blind with a slightly bigger stack. The cards were turned.

Dean Hutchinson: 7♣6♣ All in
Marcin Zawadzki: A♠8♠

Zawadzki had his opponent dominated, but the board ran out 9♦8♥9♣5♦J♣ to give Hutchinson a straight on the turn. He won the pot and Zawadzki was left with just 7,000.

The next hand, Simon Wiciak raised to 2,000 from late position, then Peter Jaksland three-bet to 6,000 from the button. Zawadzki moved all in for his last 7,000 and both other players called.

Wiciak and Jaksland checked back the 10♣K♥J♣ flop, then then turn came the 6♠ and Wiciak bet 1,000. Jaksland raised to 5,000 and Wiciak folded.

Zawadzki had 9♦9♣ for a pair of nines, but Jaksland had K♠10♠ for two pair, kings and tens. The river was the 6♠ and Jaksland held, which busted Zawadzki from the tournament.
