Connor Richards

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Anton Suarez opened to 30,000 in the hijack and Panagiotis Pantazis called on the button before Thales Morelli three-bet to 120,000 in the small blind. Suarez folded and Pantazis called.

Morelli bet 90,000 on the flop of 2♦J♦Q♠ and Pantazis called. Morelli then bet 150,000 on the 6♠ turn and Pantazis again called.

The 10♠ river completed the board and Morelli fired a final bet of 225,000. Pantazis removed his sunglasses and stared his opponent down as he used through a few time banks. Eventually, he folded.

Elsewhere, American pro and poker coach Brock Wilson was eliminated.

Ramon Colillas opened to 40,000 from under the gun but Oskar Jonsson to his left three-bet to 85,000. All the other players folded to Collilas who called.

The dealer fanned a flop of 7♣9♠6♠ and Colillas led out for 40,000. Jonsson then raised to 160,000 and Collilas went deep into the tank.

It took two minutes so three time banks for Colillas to fold. Jonsson showed A♥3♥ for ace high and scooped the pot.

David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Julien Sitbon moved all in for 190,000 under the gun, Ferdinando D'Alessio put in a reraise in the hijack, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Julien Sitbon: 9♦9♥ All in
Ferdinando D'Alessio: A♦Q♦

The 4♦3♦J♥ flop gave D'Alessio a flush draw to go with his overcards, and he spiked his flush on the 5♦ turn. Sitbon was already drawing dead before the Q♣ fell on the river, sealing his elimination.

At the same time at another table, Thomas Eychenne and Julian Pineda Lozano arrived at the river on a completed board of 8♠3♥A♥Q♥2♦ with around 200,000 in the pot. Eychenne then bet 85,000 from early position and Pineda Lozano raised to 375,000 in the cutoff.

Eychenne used a few time banks before calling, and Pineda Lozano showed 9♦9♥. Eychenne turned over A♠Q♠ for two pair as he took down another big pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Heitor Maciel raised from under the gun to 30,000 and Yohan Rascar three-bet to 95,000 from the next seat. Karl Karlsson was on the button and cold four-bet to 250,000, which got Maciel to fold. Rascar then five-bet to 550,000, and after some time, Karlsson shoved 1,340,000. Rascar snap-called.

Karl Karlsson: Q♠Q♥ All in
Yohan Rascar: A♠A♣

Karlsson had run into the rockets of Rascar, but there were still five cards to come to try and salvage something. However, there was nothing for Karlsson to work with on the 4♣8♦2♦ flop, which left just two shots at the two remaining queens.

None of which appeared on the 7♠9♥ runout, and after the stacks were counted down, Karlsson was eliminated.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

While the tournament director was stopping the clock to randomly break a table with 64 players left, Ben Jackson under the gun with 160,000, Antonio Asaro in the cutoff with 240,000 and Rifat Palevic in the big blind who had them covered moved all-in preflop.

Ben Jackson: K♠K♣ All in
Antonio Asaro: 7♦7♠ All in
Rifat Palevic: J♥J♣

Jackson was on his way to triple up, but Palevic flopped a full house on 8♥8♣J♠ to take the lead. The 10♥9♣ runout changed nothing and Palevic eliminated both of his opponents.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Javier Tazon was all in for around 900,000 from the big blind against Thomas Eychenne in the cutoff.

Javier Tazon: K♣K♦ All in
Thomas Eychenne: A♥K♠

The flop of 6♠10♣J♠ kept Tazon's kings ahead, but the Q♦ turn had him drawing to just a chop as Eychenne made Broadway before the 6♣ river bricked off to mark Tazon's elimination.

Three-way on a board of 6♣3♦Q♦, Damien Gayer in middle position bet 45,000 and he was called by Firoz Mangroe on the button and Alfredo Zingales in the big blind.

All three of them checked the K♥ turn leading to the 4♦ river where Zingales led out for 115,000.

Gayer folded, but Mangroe raised to 300,000. Zingales snap-called with 10♦6♦ for a flush, but he ran into Mangroe's nut flush with A♦J♦.

Rascar Pushes Karlsson Off the Best Hand

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Tobias Leknes made it 30,000 from under the gun and Karl Karlsson called from the next seat with 10♠10♦. Yohan Rascar was in the small blind holding A♣K♣ and three-bet to 120,000, which got Leknes to fold. Karlsson called.

They watched the flop of 9♠5♣5♠ hit the table and Rascar fired out a continuation-bet of 80,000. Karlsson grabbed calling chips and stuck them in the pot to see the 2♦ fall on the turn.

Rascar showed no signs of slowing down and bet 300,000, and after some deliberation, Karlsson folded his pocket tens.
