Rodriguez Gets One Through

Tim Baker
Tim Baker
Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Arturo Rodriguez raised to 22,000 from middle position and Yuri Maron three-bet the small blind to 60,000. Rodriguez came along with a call.

Maron knuckled it over to Rodriguez on the A♥3♣K♣ flop, and Rodriguez bet 75,000. Maron folded, showing J♣J♠ as he did.

Rodriguez was about to slide his cards face down to the dealer, but noticed the cameras and media were on him. He quickly changed his mind and windmilled 9♠9♦ across the table, showing Maron that he had folded the better pair.

Zheng Puts Ten Cate in Tough Spot

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

A blind-on-blind battle had created a pot of 300,000 when Xiaosheng Zheng checked the K♠2♥J♣5♦9♠ river to Jonas ten Cate. Ten Cate added 170,000 to the pot with a bet, only to be raised to 525,000 by Zheng.

Ten Cate tanked for several minutes before he decided to fold, conceding the pot to Zheng.

"Don't show me a bluff," Ten Cate said to Zheng as he raked in the chips, and Zheng obliged by returning his cards face down.

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.

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.

Three-way to the 7♦4♣2♦ flop, Yudhishter Jaswal pushed in his last 70,000 from the big blind. Button Jose Criado called, while Simon Wiciak check-folded from the small blind.

Yudhishter Jaswal: 9♦3♦ All in
Jose Criado: A♣7♠

Jaswal's flush draw failed to materialize on the J♣ turn or 3♣ river, eliminating him from the tournament.

Calio Can't Hold On

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

Xiaosheng Zheng raised from early position, and when Giuseppe Calio moved all-in for 111,000 from the big blind, Zheng called.

Giuseppe Calio: J♠J♦ All in
Xiaosheng Zheng: K♥J♥

The 2♣3♣A♥ flop was safe for Calio, but the K♣ turn left him drawing to just one out. It wasn't to be for Calio, as the 6♦ completed the board, and his stack was shipped across to Zheng.

Matteo Cecchetti raised under the gun to 20,000 and Michel Molenaar three-bet from middle position to 75,000, leaving himself just a few chips behind. Oleh Pritsak cold-called from the big blind before Cecchetti shoved. Molenaar called for his 92,000 total, while Pritsak folded with about 400,000 behind.

Michel Molenaar: 7♥7♣ All in
Matteo Cecchetti: A♥Q♥

Molenaar had the chance to almost triple up and was flipping for his tournament life.

Molenaar's sevens stayed as the best hand after the dealer spread the 6♦2♠3♦4♦10♠ runout, allowing him to avoid heading out for an early burger.

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.
