Dealer "Does It" to Pistalo

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Davor Pistalo
Davor Pistalo

Philip Joyce opened the action from middle position to 20,000. The action folded to Davor Pistalo, who put out a three-bet of 65,000 from the small blind. Everyone folded, leaving Joyce to act. After confirming the exact count of his opponent's stack and using one timebank chip, Joyce moved all in, and Pistalo snap-called.

Davor Pistalo: QQAll in
Philip Joyce: A5

Pistalo was in excellent shape, with the 9102 flop offering little danger. The 7 on the turn, however, gave Joyce a flush draw.

"Don't do it," Pistalo said to the dealer, but unfortunately for him, the river brought the 2, completing Joyce's flush and sending Pistalo to the rail.

Kitai Hits the Rail

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai

Davidi Kitai open-raised from middle position and picked up a call before Jacob Amsellem moved all in from the small blind for 365,000. Kitai called all in for around 210,000 and the two players turned their cards, with Kitai at risk.

Davidi Kitai: A10 All in
Jacob Amsellem: AK

Kitai was dominated, but the flop of 467 gave him a chance when he picked up a flush draw. The turn was the J and river the 4 and Kitai missed his outs. Amsellem held with ace-king high to win the pot and Kitai was eliminated.

Marques Melts Tedeschi’s Stack With a Set of Snowmen

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Pedro Marques
Pedro Marques

There were already around 250,000 chips in the pot on a board of 5J82 when Pedro Marques checked from the cutoff and Paul-Francois Tedeschi fired 118,000 on the button. After a while, Marques shoved his stack of 636,000 into the middle, which gave Tedeschi a decision for his remaining stack of around 300,000.

All of Tedeschi's timebanks went into the middle while he mulled it over, and after burning through three, he made the call.

Paul-Francois Tedeschi: J10 All in
Pedro Marques: 88

Tedeschi was already on his feet as he realized he was drawing dead, and there was no possible card in the deck that could save him. The 9 on the river was just a formality, and Marques was pushed the monster pot, which brought his stack up to around 1,300,000.

Sokolovsky Makes Nut Flush to Send Jorstad to Rail

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Espen Jorstad
Espen Jorstad

With action already on the flop on a board of 62J, Alexander Sokolovsky checked and Espen Jorstad bet 21,000. Sokolovsky then raised it up to 75,000 and Jorstad called.

The turn was the 9 and Sokolovsky continued his aggression with a bet of 63,000. Jorstad called again to make for an inflated pot.

On the 4 river, Sokolovsky pushed all in with the bigger stack. Jorstad didn't take too long before he flicked in a chip to make the call. Jorstad had JJ for a set of jacks, but Sokolovsky turned over A7 for the nut flush to win a huge pot, sending Jorstad to the rail.

Rudolph Flops a Straight to Bust Nanos

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Christian Rudolph
Christian Rudolph

Daniel Erlandsson raised to 20,000 from middle position with Christian Rudolph calling on the button and Konstantinos Nanos defending out of the big blind.

The 9710 flop got checked to Rudolph and he put out a bet of 25,000. Nanos check-raised to 68,000, which only Rudolph called.

Nanos bet 148,000 when the 3 dropped on the turn, and after a few moments, Rudolph shoved for Nanos' remaining 270,000. Nanos pondered briefly and then made the call.

Konstantinos Nanos: J10 All in
Christian Rudolph: 86

Rudolph was ahead with a flopped straight and could only lose if an eight was to fall on the river. However, the J came on the river, and Nanos was out of the tournament.

Sukhov Busts First Hand Back From Break

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Pawel Wojciechowski
Pawel Wojciechowski

The restart to Level 19 was delayed slightly as a table had to be broken and the players heading to the stream tabled had to get mic'd up, however, on some tables, dealing had already started. The floor announced to stop dealing on all tables, but the hands that had already been dealt were not declared as misdeals.

Play then resumed with Yevhen Sukhov already all-in from the button for his stack of 217,000. Pawel Wojciechowski looked down at his cards from the big blind and liked what he saw, then called to put Sukhov at risk.

Yevhen Sukhov: 77 All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: AJ

It was a flip that Sukhov needed to win, but he got off to a bad start on the JA5 flop as Wojciechowski hit top two pair. A 9 on the turn left Sukhov with just one more chance to survive, but he was already on his feet.

"You stood up already?!" asked Wojciechowski to Sukhov.

The stand-up equity didn't help Sukhov, though, as the 9 river meant he was eliminated in the first hand back from the break.

Hadad Runs Into Marques' Kings

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

As PokerNews reached the table, Shmuel Hadad was all-in for around 275,000 after a preflop raising war with Pedro Marques. Marques had him covered as players flipped their cards.

Shmuel Hadad: AQ All in
Pedro Marques: KK

Marques had picked up pocket kings and Hadad found no help as the board ran out 6J88J. Marques held with his two pair, kings and jacks to win the pot, sending Hadad to the exit.
