Sgorrano Pays a Big Price For a Hero Call

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

Leon Zeaiter raised to 75,000 in the cutoff and Jerome Sgorrano called on the button.

Zeaiter checked the 982 flop and Sgorrano bet 65,000. Zeaiter then raised to 215,000 and Sgorrano called.

The turn was the A and Zeaiter bet 400,000. Sgorrano called again to see the 4 river, where Zeaiter moved all in.

"Are you bluffing or not, my friend?" Sgorrano said as he went deep into the tank. He eventually emerged with a call and Zeaiter made sure he put the chips in before slamming down AA for a set. Sgorrano mucked 109 and Zeaiter doubled up.

"I have more time banks than chips," Sgorrano said as he put in his last 15,000 (less than the big blind) the next hand. Action folded to Malcolm Franchi in the big blind, who automatically put him at risk.

Jerome Sgorrano: J5 All in
Malcolm Franchi: 106

Franchi hit a pair and flush draw on the 6Q7 flop, but Sgorrano made a pair of jacks on the J turn. The river was the 6 and Franchi improved to trips to send Sgorrano to the rail.

Fahredin Mustafov: KK All in
Andreas Goeller: JJ

Shevliakov Holds With Aces to Double Through Jungevicius and Bust Gaehl

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

Aleksandr Shevliakov open-raised from early position, Kestutis Jungevicius called in the small blind, then Sebastian Gaehl moved all in from the big blind for 430,000. Shevliakov called and Jungevicius also called to bring the pot to over 1,200,000 preflop.

Action slowed down as the flop came 997, both players still with chips opting to check. The turn came the 8 and Jungevicius pushed all in with a covering stack. Shevliakov quickly called for his last 420,000 and all three players revealed their hands.

Sebastian Gaehl: K10 All in
Aleksandr Shevliakov: AA All in
Kestutis Jungevicius: 108

Gaehl and Jungevicius both had straight draws, while Jungevicius also had a pair of eights. Shevliakov was in great shape with his pocket aces, though, and just needed a clean river to win a huge pot.

The river came a complete blank, the 3, so Shevliakov held to win the pot, doubling through Jungevicius to bring his stack close to 2,000,000 and eliminating Gaehl from the tournament.

Obreshkov Picks Off Barbero

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

Action folded to Nacho Barbero in the small blind who shoved all in for 270,000. Stoyan Obreshkov was in the big blind and called to put Barbero at risk.

Nacho Barbero: Q6 All in
Stoyan Obreshkov: A8

Obreshkov hit top pair on the AJ2 flop and Barbero was left drawing thin. The 5 turn meant Barbero was drawing dead going to the K river and headed off to the payout desk.

Rafael Navas was also eliminated shortly after losing most of his chips to Mateusz Moolhuizen.

Tytgat Survives With Short Stack, Then Busts in Big Blind

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

Nicolas Tytgat had 20,000, less than one big blind, which he put in the middle from the hijack. Fahredin Mustafov completed his small blind for 25,000 in the small blind and Diego De Martino checked in the big blind.

Mustafov and De Martino then checked it all the way down on the flop, turn and river on a board of 8KQ3J and players revealed their hands.

Somehow, Tytgat had what he needed to survive. He flipped over AQ for a pair of queens. De Martino had a pair of queens with weaker kicker and Mustafov had nothing much. Tytgat tripled up, but he wasn't out of trouble yet and still had just a few big blinds.

A couple of hands later, following an open-raise to 50,000 from early position, De Martino three-bet to 170,000 from the button. Tytgat was in the big blind and commited to making the call for 60,000. Players flipped their cards.

Nicolas Tytgat: 93 All in
Diego De Martino: AA

The board ran out Q71042 and De Martino held with his pocket aces to win the pot, sending Tytgat out of the tournament.

[Removed:526]: 33 All in
Nicolas Tytgat: KK

Tytgat had woken up with two kings and had [Removed:526] crushed going to the flop, but [Removed:526] spiked a set on 753. The rest of the board ran out 6A and [Removed:526] doubled up, leaving Tytgat with less than one big blind.

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

Three-handed on a flop of 106Q, Khossein Kokhestani bet 70,000 from the hijack and Alexandros Kolonias called in the cutoff. Leon Zeaiter then raised to 200,000 on the button and only Kokhestani called.

The turn was the 5 and Zeaiter bet another 300,000. Kokhestani quickly called and the 3 fell on the river. Kokhestani then put his hood over his head and announced he was all in for 800,000.

Zeaiter took around two minutes before calling as Kokhestani turned over A8 for the rivered nut flush. Zeaiter slammed his chips on the table in frustration as he showed Q10 for two pair before handing over the massive pot.

Coppola showed J10 for a flopped straight and Engel tossed 109 into the muck on his way to the exit.
