Spitale Takes from Beltz

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

Wouter Beltz raised from early position, gathering calls from the player in the cutoff and Giuseppe Spitale in the big blind.

The dealer provided a monotone A♥4♥Q♥, which saw Beltz continue for 15,000. The cutoff player folded, but Spitale stuck around.

Action checked through on the K♦ turn, before the 5♥ river completed the board.

Spitale took over the betting lead, putting out a bet of 115,000. Without too much time passing, Beltz folded.

Action was caught with the A♦7♣4♥8♣J♥ board on show, with around 165,000 in the pot. Keith Johnson, with 173,000, checked. Erik Eisen bet enough from the button to cover his opponent and sent the Brit into the tank.

"I've got a very good hand here," said Johnson, as he tossed two time banks into the middle. He eventually folded, and Eisen scooped in a nice pot before the break.

On the next deal, Nikolai Mamut opened to 12,000 from the button and called when Sinead Davenport put in her last 95,000 from the big blind.

Sinead Davenport: A♠10♣All in
Nikolai Mamut: 9♥9♣

Mamut had a nine-high straight after the 7♠6♦5♠ flop and 8♥ turn, leaving Davenport drawing to the two final nines in the deck. Instead, the board brought in the A♣ and Davenport departed.

Konstantyn Holskyi raised under the gun, placing 12,000 chips in the middle. Jiaming Zhao called in the hijack, as did Adria Calonge on the button.

The 3♠K♥J♣ flop was fanned, on which the action checked to Zhao. He fired 20,000, seeing Calonge call. Holskyi had other plans, however, and raised to 85,000. Zhou called, after which Calonge decided to get out of the way.

Holskyi pushed 100,000 over the line on the 10♦ turn, with Zhao calling again. The 10♠ river seemed to slow down Holskyi, as he opted to check. Zhao then bet 150,000, to which Holskyi responded with an all-in raise.

Zhoa had been put at risk for his 646,000 remaining chips, but he made a quick call, triumphantly showing down 3♥3♣ for bottom full house as Holskyi could only show K♣J♦ for top two pair.

Zhao doubled to the chiplead while Holskyi was left short-stacked as the players went on break.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Michael Lech got his 118,000 remaining chips in from the cutoff against Gary Fisher in the small blind.

Michael Lech: J♥J♦ All in
Gary Fisher: A♠10♥

Lech's jacks remained ahead on the 10♠Q♠Q♣ flop and 6♠ turn, but the 5♠ river brought a fourth spade on the board. Fisher made the nut flush, sending Lech out as the tables around went on break.

Just prior to the hand, Gianas Rege was all in and at risk at another table with pocket nines against pocket jacks. Unable to find a set, he too was eliminated from the Main Event.

Longmao Fan: K♥Q♥ All in
