Bergstrom Sends Camosci to the Rail

Tim Baker

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Anton Bergstrom raised to 50,000 from middle position and Enrico Camosci three-bet to roughly 400,000 from the big blind with only 25,000 remaining. Bergstrom shoved, and Camosci called for the rest of his stack.

Enrico Camosci: A♦J♣ All in
Anton Bergstrom: Q♥Q♠

Camosci needed to find an ace to beat the pocket queens of Bergstrom. However, the board came 8♦3♥J♦7♦9♥ which kept Bergstrom's Ladies ahead the whole way. Camosci was sent to the cashier's desk, and Bergstrom pulled in the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action folded to Luka Sorainen in the small blind, and he limped in, prompting Dimitrios Gkatzas to check his option in the big blind.

The flop came 9♦10♣9♣, and Sorainen led out for 25,000. Gkatzas responded with a raise to 80,000, and Sorainen made the call.

The 6♥ landed on the turn, and after Sorainen checked, Gkatzas moved all-in. With a stack of around 400,000, Sorainen snap-called.

Luka Sorainen: 8♥7♥
Dimitrios Gkatzas: 9♠4♠

Gkatzas had flopped trips, but Sorainen's turned straight put him in a prime position for a double-up. However, the river still held potential drama, and it delivered as the 4♣ gave Gkatzas a full house. An unfortunate river for Sorainen, whose tournament run ended in 30th.

Kai Cocklin

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sebastien Compte moved all in for his last 350,000 from middle position and Anton Bergstrom called in the cutoff.

Sebastien Compte: J♣J♠ All in
Anton Bergstrom: A♥A♣

Compte had ran into the bullets of Bergstrom and needed to find a jack, otherwise his Main Event run would be shot down. The flop of 2♥K♥4♦ didn't offer much help, and neither did the K♦ turn. With one card left to come, Compte couldn't improve as the 8♠ filled out the board, ending the Frenchman's Main Event journey.

On another table, Josef Schusteritsch was also eliminated.

Tim Baker

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With the board showing 3♠Q♠7♣10♣, Ken Oberlieben checked from the big blind and then faced a bet of 50,000 from Joshua McSwiney out of the cutoff. Oberlieben check-shoved for roughly 250,000, and McSwiney snap-called.

Ken Oberlieben: 10♦7♥ All in
Joshua McSwiney: Q♦J♥

Oberlieben had turned two pair against the top pair of McSwiney and was in great shape to double up if he could fade the river. However, the board-pairing 3♦ dropped on the river to give McSwiney a higher two pair. Oberlieben wished the table good luck as he was sent to the payout desk.

Tim Baker

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

When it folded to Lasse Hansen in the small blind he shoved for roughly 200,000 with only Pawel Wojciechowski to get through in the big blind. Wojciechowski looked at his cards and called to put Hansen at risk.

Lasse Hansen: J♠8♣ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: K♠2♥

Hansen needed some help from the dealer to stay alive. He got it on the J♥8♥5♥ flop as he improved to two pair, but Wojciechowski had a flush draw. The K♦ turn gave Wojciechowski even more outs, as the 7♥ peeled off on the river to give Wojciechowski the winner with a flush. Wojciechowski pulled in the pot and Hansen was out.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Paul Runcan opened from under the gun to 60,000 and Pascal Vos shoved from the next seat for 275,000. When it got back to Runcan, he debated for a while, then called.

Pascal Vos: 9♠9♥ All in
Paul Runcan: J♦10♥

Runcan was pleased to find himself in a flip, and even more pleased after he paired his ten on the 4♥A♥10♠ flop. Only a nine could save Vos, but neither the 5♠ turn or K♠ river could save him, and he was out in 25th.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stanislaw Grodek moved all in for 540,000 from the cutoff, and the action folded to Tjenno Eskes in the small blind. Eskes asked for the exact count before moving all in as well, prompting the big blind to fold.

Stanislaw Grodek: 7♥7♣ All in
Tjenno Eskes: 10♠10♣

Grodek needed a seven to stay alive, but the 10♥8♣4♥ flop left him in tough position as Eskes improved to a set. The 8♦ on the turn sealed Grodek's fate with Eskes making a full house, and the 3♦ river confirmed Grodek's elimination in 24th place.

Christian Rudolph opened to 60,000 from middle position, and Tjenno Eskes responded with a three-bet to 185,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Rudolph, who moved all in, and Eskes snap-called.

Christian Rudolph: A♠K♣ All in
Tjenno Eskes: Q♥Q♦

Another classic race was underway, but the 4♥9♥Q♠ flop left Rudolph in a dire spot as Eskes improved to a set. The 7♥ on the turn sealed Rudolph's fate, and the 6♠ river confirmed his elimination in 23rd place.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Arjel Daci raised from the hijack to 80,000 and Umberto Ruggeri called in from the cutoff. Barak Oz also called from the big blind.

The flop came 9♥Q♣3♦ and Oz checked, then Daci fired 125,000. Ruggeri got out of the way, and Oz bumped it up to 300,000. After a while, Daci shoved for around 900,000, and Oz snap-called.

Arjel Daci: K♣Q♥ All in
Barak Oz : Q♠9♠

Daci had flopped top pair, but was way behind to the two pair of Oz. An A♥ on the turn did have Daci a few more ways to survive, but the 7♦ river wasn't one of them, and he was out in 22nd.

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Paul Runcan opened to 80,000 from the cutoff, and Adrian Mack three-bet to 210,000 from the button. Action folded back to Runcan, who responded with a four-bet to 480,000. Mack, with not much left behind, moved all in, and Runcan made the call.

Adrian Mack: 7♦7♣ All in
Paul Runcan: A♠A♦

Mack found himself in a difficult position, and his hopes dimmed further when the dealer put out the 8♠A♣J♣ flop, giving Runcan top set. The 10♣ on the turn provided Mack with plenty of outs, but the 4♠ on the river was not one of them and Mack was eliminated in 21st place.
