More Main Event Eliminations

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Saaskilahti Busts Bedell, Still Not Chip Leader at His Table

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

"Do you do coaching for Tritons? I also want to win three out of four," Martin Nielsen asked Tom-Aksel Bedell.

"I'm too old for that," Bedell replied.

Chin Wei Lim then opened to 10,000 in early position and Lauri Saaskilahti three-bet to 30,000 in middle position. Bedell called in the small blind, while Lim got out of the way.

Saaskilahti bet another 20,000 on the 655 flop, Bedell moved all in for 54,000, and Saaskilahti called.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: A8 All in
Lauri Saaskilahti: AQ

Both players had ace-high, but Saaskilahti was ahead with his queen-kicker. The board ran out 9A and Saaskilahti's queen continued to play to send Bedell to the rail.

Saaskilahti moved up close to 1,000,000 with that pot, but he's still not the chip leader at this table as Nielsen has climbed up to around 1,200,000.

Emotional Roller Coaster for Guidetti

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a flop of 776, cards went on their backs with Daniele Guidetti on the button at risk for approximately 100,000 against Thomas Eychenne in middle position.

Daniele Guidetti: QJ All in
Thomas Eychenne: 97

Eychenne flopped trips while Guidetti had a flush draw. After the 5 turn, the 9 river completed Guidetti's flush. "Yes!" he shouted, before other players explained him that Eychenne hit a full house on the river. Guidetti quickly realized and was eliminated.

Tsvetanov Wins a Crucial Flip vs Hu

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Martin Tsvetanov

After some raising back and forth, Martin Tsvetanov got his stack of around 170,000 into the middle with Jinlong Hu trying to bust him.

Martin Tsvetanov: AK All in
Jinlong Hu: 99

It was a race that was pivotal for both players' future in the Event, as Hu only had slightly more chips to start the hand than Tsvetanov.

Tsvetanov took the lead on the 4AK flop by improving to two pair. The rest of the board ran out 3J and Tsvetanov doubled up.

Hu was unable to spin-up his stack and was eliminated just a few hands later.

God Only Knows What Wilson Had

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a heads-up pot between Spencer Champlin in the big blind and under-the-gun player Brock Wilson, Champlin bet on the flop of 8105 and Wilson raised. Champlin called.

Champlin checked on the K turn and Wilson bet 40,000. Champlin called. Champlin checked again on the 10 river and Wilson checked back, only to muck as Champlin showed K6 for a missed combo draw that turned into top pair.

Zingales Cracks Aces with Aces

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alfredo Zingales in the hijack and Andreas Vlachos in the small blind moved all-in preflop, with Zingales at risk for 143,000.

Alfredo Zingales: AA All in
Andreas Vlachos: AA

This situation made both players smile, but Vlacho's smile disappeared when Zingales found a flush draw on 78K3. "Oh, no," he then repeated when the 10 completed the flush, allowing Zingales to double up.

Three players saw the turn on a board of 3949 when Matin Talebi led out for 15,000 from the small blind. Konstantinos Tsikopoulos then raised to 40,000 in the big blind.

The action folded back to Talebi who reraised to 90,000. Tsikopoulos then moved all in for 182,000, and Talebi burned through a few time banks before calling.

Tsikopoulos showed 22, while Talebi was on straight and flush draws holding 65. The 7 river gave Talebi his straight and sent Tsikopoulos to the rail.

"I knew you had nothing," Tsikopoulos told him.

"You want to be up against this nothing?" Talebi replied.

"Yes, gladly," Tsikopoulos added as he went off to the payout desk.
