Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Stefan Toderita
Stefan Toderita

With around 130,000 in the pot, Alexander Ivarsson checked from early position on the 9♠K♥8♦4♦ board and Alexandru Toderita bet 35,000 from the button. Ivarsson check-raised to around 175,000, which Toderita called.

The board-pairing 4♣ came on the river and Ivarsson checked. Toderita used a time bank before carving out a bet of 225,000. Ivarsson called pretty quickly and was shown 8♥8♣ by Toderita for a full house.

Ivarsson mucked, and Toderita increased his stack even further.

Unfavorable River for Rizov

Miroslav Rizov raised to 20,000 on the button, which both Barbara Akemi and Alexandru Toderita called in the blinds.

When the action checked to Rizov on an 8♣A♥4♣ flop, he continued for 25,000. Akemi folded, but Toderita called. It was the same sequence on the 3♥ turn, as Toderita check-called a bet by Rizov, this time for a more substantial 110,000.

The board was completed by the 5♦, and Toderita switched tactics, this time leading out for 120,000. Rizov didn't hesitate to call, but was shown bad news. Toderita tabled A♦2♠ for a rivered wheel straight, and a frustrated Rizov flipped over 8♠8♦, showing that his flopped set had been run down.

Marius Kudzmanas raised to 90,000 in middle position, leaving only 2,000 behind. Simon Wiciak called in the cutoff, and the flop was fanned 3♥A♣10♠.

Marius Kudzmanas checked it over to Wiciak, who put his opponent all in. Kudzmanas spent some time banks before calling for his tournament life.

Marius Kudzmanas: A♠9♠ All in
Simon Wiciak: A♦Q♠

Kudzmanas remained outkicked on the 5♦ turn and 7♥ river, spelling the end of his tournament.

No Way Back for Ahuja

Ankit Ahuja

Ankit Ahuja raised to 20,000 from early position, and Eduardo Kalil defended his big blind.

Kalil checked in flow on the 6♦Q♦4♠ flop, and Ahuja bet 12,000. Kalil check-raised to 48,000 before facing a three-bet from Ahuja to 110,000. Kalil responded with a four-bet all-in, and Ahuja snap-called.

Ahuja had the lower of the two stacks with roughly 500,000, and as such, was the player at risk.

Ankit Ahuja: A♠Q♣ All in
Eduardo Kalil: 6♥4♥

Kalil had flopped best with two pair, and when Ahuja found no relief on either the K♠ turn or 5♥ river, his Main Event run came to an end.

Dwyer's Main Event is Done

John Dwyer
John Dwyer

With about 250,000 in the pot and with John Dwyer all-in, Paolo Boi checked from the big blind on the Q♥8♣7♣ flop, and Brock Wilson checked behind on the button.

Both players checked again on the 5♥ turn and A♠ river. Dwyer showed king-high with K♣10♥, Wilson a pair of sixes with 6♦6♥, but it was Boi who had the best hand with A♣10♣ for a pair of aces.

Boi dragged in the pot, sending one of the Dwyer brothers to the rail.

Barbara Akemi opened to 16,000 in the hijack. It folded to Kalidou Sow in the big blind, who moved all in for 287,000. Akemi requested a count, then called with the covering stack.

Kalidou Sow: A♠J♠ All in
Barbara Akemi: 10♥10♣

The Q♥5♦6♣2♠8♣ flop remained free of aces and jacks, deciding the flip in Akemi's favor and sending Sow to the exit.

Pocket Rockets Boost Ruijs to Over the Milly Mark

Joris Ruijs
Joris Ruijs

Facing a raise preflop, Joris Ruijs three-bet the button to around 60,000, and Davide Marchi cold four-bet the big blind to 130,000. The initial raiser folded, but Ruijs five-bet to 220,000. Marchi used a time bank and then six-bet ripped it in for about 590,000. Ruijs beat him into the pot with a call.

Davide Marchi: J♣J♥All in
Joris Ruijs: A♥A♣

Ruijs had the preflop nuts with pocket rockets, and whoever won this pot would see their stack climb to over a milly and near the top of the leaderboard.

The Q♥5♣2♥ flop didn't contain the paint card Marchi needed, and neither did the Q♠ turn.

Marchi needed a two-outer to survive and leave Ruijs on dust, but it never came as the 3♥ completed the board.

Marchi wished the players good luck as he headed to the rail, while Ruijs' stack soared to around 1,250,000.

Mark Teltscher
Mark Teltscher

Heads up in a pot of roughly 100,000, Jose Quintas checked from early position to Mark Teltscher on the button. Teltscher bet 35,000 on the 4♠6♦9♠ flop, which Quintas raised to 115,000.

After some thought, Teltscher then moved all in for 372,000. Quintas snap-called with the covering stack.

Mark Teltscher: A♠7♠ All in
Jose Quintas: 10♠10♦

Quintas hit a set on the 10♣ turn to take away some of Teltscher's outs, but it did not matter in the end, as Teltscher's flush draw completed on the K♠ river, awarding him the sizable pot.

Dorian Dizy raised to 32,000 from the small blind and Nazar Buhaiov called from the big blind.

Dizy fired 22,000 on the 2♣A♦4♣ flop and 70,000 on the K♥ turn, with Buhaiov calling both bets.

The 5♠ on the river caused Dizy to check. Buhaiov left himself one chip behind, sliding out a bet of 180,000. Dizy instantly tossed in one chip to call.

Buhaiov turned over the nuts with 6♣3♣ for a straight, and Dizy shook his head as he mucked his cards.
