Lampropulos Mines Set

Frank Visser

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Matan Krakow opened his A♦Q♥ to 40,000 in the hijack. Maria Lampropulos fancied a flop on the button with 3♦3♣ and called.

Krakow continued for another 40,000 on the 3♠J♦4♥ flop. Lampropulos just matched the bet, seeing Krakow increase his sizing to 115,000 on the K♥ turn.

Lampropulos kept up the slow-play with another call, after which the 7♥ was placed as the river. Krakow put forth all his time banks, ultimately spending one of them before deciding to give up on his bluff and check.

Lampropulos then put her opponent all-in for his remaining 220,000, but Krakow quickly got rid of his ace-high to stay in contention.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

"I was 30th in this last year," Luka Sorainen said as the field was again reduced to the final 30 players.

Xiaowen Zhao then raised to 40,000 in early position, Sorainen shoved for 350,000 in the cutoff, and Zhao called.

Luka Sorainen: K♠Q♠ All in
Xiaowen Zhao: J♠J♥

Sorainen was racing for his tournament life to avoid another 30th-place finish, but he missed the 7♣4♦3♥A♠2♠ board and was eliminated in the same spot he was a year ago.

Frank Visser

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Filippo Ragone open-raised to 40,000 under the gun and found Maria Lampropulos as the only caller.

Lampropulos called when Ragone continued for 65,000 on the 8♣Q♣6♠ flop, after which the 3♥ turn was checked by both contenders.

The 10♦ river made Ragone reaggress, firing a bet of 80,000. Lampropulos quickly called, but her Q♦J♦ for op pair was no longer good against the J♠9♠ of Ragone, who had hit a gutshot on the river to win the pot.
