Ruijs Overtakes Pak in Big Three-Bet Pot; Sandvik Eliminated in Mystery Hand

Frank Visser

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joris Ruijs
Joris Ruijs

Joris Ruijs made it 60,000 to go first to act. Edward Pak was in the cutoff, and he three-bet to 150,000. The action made its way back to Ruijs, who called.

Ruijs checked the 9♣3♠9♥ flop to Pak, who continued with a bet of 95,000. Ruijs did not deem it enough, as he raised to 280,000. Pak flicked in calling chips, and the 5♠ turn was dealt.

Ruijs reverted to checking, prompting Pak to retake the initiative with a bet of 725,000. Ruijs just called this time, after which the 7♣ river was checked to showdown.

Ruijs revealed J♠9♠ for trip nines, causing Pak to send his J♦J♣ to the muck in defeat.

Meanwhile, at the other feature table, Espen Sandvik was eliminated in a hand that did not make its way to the stream.

Edward Pak: A♣J♦

Neither player connected with the K♦7♦3♣4♣7♣ board. Pak's kicker remained the deciding factor, ending Zabrodotskyi's roller-coaster ride.

Jose Criado raised to 60,000 in early position. Mark Teltscher was in the small blind, and he three-bet to 180,000. Criado then moved all in, and Teltscher snapped off his stack of 575,000.

Mark Teltscher: Q♥Q♦ All in
Jose Criado: K♠K♥

The 10♠10♣9♦J♣6♠ flop was of no consequence to either player, meaning the 2005 EPT London champion was sent to the rail in the final level of the night.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Level 23
Blinds: 10,000/25,000 (25,000)

Alexander Luciani raised almost all-in from the cutoff, betting 385,000, leaving only 10,000 behind. Jose Criado jammed more than 3 million in middle position. Being pot-committed, Luciani tossed in his last 10,000.

Alexander Luciani: K♦7♦ All in
Jose Criado: A♥J♠

Luciani had no outs remaining after the 2♣10♠2♥A♠ turn, and he walked away from the table as soon as the Q♦ river completed the board.

Joshua Boulton moved all-in for 265,000 from middle position and was at risk when Nicolas Chouity called from the button.

Joshua Boulton: K♦9♦ All in
Nicolas Chouity: A♣Q♥

The 3♦3♥5♦ flop provided Boulton with a flush draw, but the 3♠ turn and J♠ river offered no further help, seeing Boulton fall in one of the final few hands of the night.

Brock Wilson: K♦J♣ All in

The 2♠10♠K♣ flop and 8♠ turn left Wilson drawing slim. The 9♠ river completed Tekle Mariam's flush, causing Wilson to quickly depart the feature table.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fabricio Nociolini raised on the button, and when Min-Sung Lee moved all-in from the small blind for 550,000, Nociolini called.

Min-Sung Lee: 8♥8♣ All in
Fabricio Nociolini: A♥Q♣

The 3♥3♦2♣ flop did not affect the standings, but the A♠ turn that followed it left Lee looking to hit a two-outer to survive. The deck was unforthcoming, as the 4♦ completed the board, ending Lee's Main Event run in Barcelona.

Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)

Raffael Brum opened to 40,000 in the cutoff, and Henok Tekle Mariam flat-called on the button. Tiago Souza spent a time bank before moving all in for 500,000 in the small blind, getting Brum to fold A♥6♣.

Tekle Mariam had other plans, and he called after eyeing Souza's stack.

Tiago Souza: Q♥10♥ All in
Henok Tekle Mariam: A♦J♦

Neither player received help from the K♣7♥4♣2♠4♥ board, spelling the end of Souza's tournament.
