Camosci Applies Pressure on River

Matt Warburton

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

Action was on the turn on a board of 3♣K♥2♣3♠ and Barak Oz checked. Enrico Camosci bet 80,000 and Oz made the call.

The river came the 3♦ and Oz checked again. Camosci bet 160,000, which sent Oz into the tank. He eventually folded and Camosci scooped in the pot.

Elsewhere, Alberto Lorenzon was seen leaving the table, eliminated when his opponent tabled pocket queens and held on a king-high board.

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

The flop 4♥8♥A♣ was already dealt, and Philip Joyce had a bet of 75,000 in front of him, enough to put his opponent, Eduard Rau, all in. Rau used some of his timebanks, and when he was sure he secured a pay jump he made the call.

Eduard Rau: K♥10♣ All in
Philip Joyce: Q♦J♣

Rau's king-high was ahead of Joyce's hand. The 10♠ on the turn improved Rau to a pair but also gave Joyce many new outs with a double-gutter. The dealer revealed the J♦ on the river, giving Joyce a pair of jacks to eliminate Rau and further climb the leaderboard.

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: A♠Q♠ All in
Pedro Marques: K♦K♥

Marques had picked up pocket kings and Hadad found no help as the board ran out 6♥J♦8♣8♠J♣. Marques held with his two pair, kings and jacks to win the pot, sending Hadad to the exit.

Sukhov Busts First Hand Back From Break

Kai Cocklin

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

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: 7♦7♣ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♦J♦

It was a flip that Sukhov needed to win, but he got off to a bad start on the J♠A♠5♦ 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.

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

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 9♣7♦10♦ 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: J♦10♥ All in
Christian Rudolph: 8♠6♠

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.

Christian Rudolph	1,250,000 522,000	522,000

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

With action already on the flop on a board of 6♦2♠J♠, 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 J♣J♥ for a set of jacks, but Sokolovsky turned over A♠7♠ for the nut flush to win a huge pot, sending Jorstad to the rail.

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

There were already around 250,000 chips in the pot on a board of 5♠J♠8♣2♥ 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: J♦10♦ All in
Pedro Marques: 8♠8♥

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.
