There was a preflop all in between Cory Desmond and Oliver Weis at Table 71.

Valeriano Toledano Moreno raised to 1,000 from under the gun, Sven Stok three-bet to 2,500, from the cutoff, and Kazuhiko Yotsushika cold called, on the button. Moreno also called.

The 4♥ turn saw Stok slow down with a check. Yotsushika took the lead for 5,500 and Stok moved all in. Yotsushika called off for his effective stack of 17,000.

Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♥4♣ All in
Sven Stok: K♣K♦

The 10♦ river couldn't crack Stock's kings and Yotsushika was sent to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Renata Onodyova opened to 1,100 from middle position and was called by Emmanouil Zografakis in the cutoff and Kevin Hasler in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Hasler checked to Onodyova, who continued for 1,700 on the 9♣8♠Q♠ flop. Zografakis then shoved for approximately 20,000 total, which got a quick fold from Hasler and a call from Onodyova after a lengthy tank to put Zografakis at risk.

Emmanouil Zografakis: 9♦8♦ All in
Renata Onodyova: K♥K♣

Zografakis was a favorite to double and remained that way on the 4♣ turn; however, the K♠ river left Onodyova best with a set of kings and Zografakis was eliminated.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Benjamin Spragg opened to 1,100 from early position and received a call from Lucia Navarro in the big blind.

Navarro checked the J♠8♣K♥ flop, and Spragg continued with a bet of 1,400, which Navarro called. The dealer revealed the 3♥ on the turn, and Navarro check-called again, this time a bet of 5,500.

With the 4♣ completing the board, Navarro checked a third time, and Spragg pushed all his chips in the middle and Navarro quickly called.

Spragg showed A♦2♦ and was beaten by Navarro’s two pair with J♦3♦. He was left with just 200 chips and was eliminated on the next hand.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The trio of Parker Talbot, Mohamed Ameur Hammi, and Marco Di Persio all checked the J♥2♥9♥ flop.

The dealer put out the 4♣ on the turn, and Talbot led out for 1,200. Hammi folded, and Persio raised to 5,100, which was enough to put his opponent all in. Talbot snap-called.

Parker Talbot: 2♠2♦ All in
Marco Di Persio: 4♥4♠

Talbot’s flopped set fell short against the set that Persio hit on the turn, and the 3♠ completed the board, sending Talbot to the rail.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Lukasz Golczyk min-raised from the cutoff, and Milos Dzakic responded with a three-bet from the small blind. The action went quickly as Golczyk four-bet all in, and Dzakic snap-called.

Lukasz Golczyk: 9♦9♥ All in
Milos Dzakic: Q♥Q♠

Golczyk needed a nine to stay alive in the tournament, but the flop J♠5♦10♠ didn’t provide any help. The turn was the 8♠, which gave him an open-ended straight draw but also gave Dzakic a flush draw.

The dealer completed the board with the 9♣, which gave Golczyk a set. However, it wasn’t enough against Dzakic’s straight, and Golczyk was eliminated from the tournament.

Maksym Filipovskyi: K♥J♦ All in
Daniel Novak: Q♠9♠

Shlomo Angel: A♥4♣ All in
Refael Dahan: 7♥7♦

A Set of Jacks Sends Schwaederle Packing

Sava Krink

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Nikita Kuznetcov set the stage with an under-the-gun raise to 700, quickly finding a caller in [Removed:548] on the button. Cedric Schwaederle upped the ante from the small blind, three-betting to 2,800. After some deliberation and a glance at his opponents’ stacks, Phil Gross made the call from the big blind. When the action circled back to Kuznetcov, he wasted no time shoving his entire 28,600-chip stack into the middle.

[Removed:549] bowed out, but Schwaederle called for his remaining 18,600, putting the pressure squarely on Gross. With both players covered, Gross decided to take his chances and called, sending the pot to a three-way showdown:

Cedric Schwaederle: K♦K♥ All in
Nikita Kuznetcov: J♣J♦ All in
Phil Gross: Q♥J♥

The flop came 6♦3♥4♠, leaving Schwaederle's kings in the lead.

However, the turn brought the J♠, completing a set for Kuznetcov and flipping the script.

Schwaederle still had outs for a river king, but the 8♦ fell instead, sealing the massive pot for Kuznetcov. Schwaederle’s tournament run came to an abrupt end, while Gross saw his gamble fall short.

Nikita Kuznetcov	76,900
