Labat Scores Huge Double

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

With a little under 90,000 already in the pot, Xiaosheng Zheng checked from the hijack on a Q810 flop. Antoine Labat bet 30,000 in the cutoff, and Zheng responded with a check-raise to 90,000. Labat moved all-in for 206,000, and Zheng immediately called.

Antoine Labat: QQ All in
Xiaosheng Zheng: AQ

Zheng was drawing extremely thin, and despite making a full house on the 10 turn and 10 river, Labat's superior boat secured him a huge double-up.

Lyubovetskiy Bluffs It Off

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

In a pot worth 80,000, Gerald Piton checked the 5QQ7 turn from the small blind to Andriy Lyubovetskiy on the button. Lyubovetskiy bet 25,000, which Piton clicked back to 55,000. Lyubovetskiy called to the 3 river, where Piton bet 32,000.

Lyubovetskiy spent some time in the tank before he raised all in for 126,000. Piton snapped him off, revealing AQ for trip queens. Lyubovetskiy briefly showed his A6x for an ace-high bluff, then exited the tournament area.

Ruiz Runs Into Araujo's Aces

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

Heads-up to the turn between Richard Araujo and Josep Ruiz, with the board showing 46J9. Araujo, from the hijack, announced all in, covering Ruiz. Ruiz didn't take too long to call for his remaining 80,000 or so from the cutoff, putting his tournament life on the line.

Josep Ruiz: KJ All in
Richard Araujo: AA

Ruiz looked poised to be the newest addition to the rail, as his top pair was behind Araujo's aces.

The 2 river was as blank as they come, and Ruiz's stack was absorbed into Araujo's.

Zheng Two-Outers Hilmisson to the Rail

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

Arriving on the 966 flop in a pot of 175,000, Axel Hilmisson bet 50,000 from early position. Xiaosheng Zheng then raised all in from the next seat over, and Hilmisson snap-called for his stack of 170,000.

Axel Hilmisson: KK All in
Xiaosheng Zheng: JJ

Zheng was in dire shape against Hilmisson's kings. The 5 turn was of no help, but the J river saw Zheng hit a set to eliminate his opponent. Hilmisson took the bad beat in stride and calmly exited the table.

Brum Shoves on Roche

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

Raffael Brum raised to 12,000 from the hijack and David Roche three-bet the big blind to 45,000. Pereira four-bet to 92,000, which Roche called.

Roche knuckled it over to Brum on the monotone 478 flop and Brum instantly jammed. Roche had the effective stack of about 195,000, and he had to burn through a couple of time banks before coming to the decision to fold.

Tran Set Leaves Gurrea with Crumbs

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

The action was picked up with roughly 50,000 already in the pot, and a 2510 flop face up on the felt.

After a series of bets, middle-position player Tuan Tran manoeuvred his stack of 178,000 into the middle, and the early-position raiser Miguel Gurrea called.

Tuan Tran: 55
Miguel Gurrea: JJ

Tran had flopped a set to take the lead, and when the 3 and 4 completed the board, Gurrea slid a large percentage of his stack one seat to his left and was left with just a few big blinds.
