Briffard Earns a Miracle Double

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Victor Briffard
Victor Briffard

Yuliyan Kolev raised to 24,000 in early position as action folded around to Victor Briffard in the small blind. He used a few time banks and looked up at the tournament clock before reraising to 191,000, leaving only a few chips behind. Kolev then moved all in, and Briffard again took his time before calling for 207,000.

Victor Briffard: A4 All in
Yuliyan Kolev: AA

Kolev showed Briffard the bad news when he turned over his aces, but the K44 flop gave Briffard trips and the lead. The board ran out 92 and he doubled up.

"Sorry," Briffard said after the hand.

"Don't say sorry if you win," tablemate Joachim Meisolle told him.

Abreu Ascends the Rankings

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jorge Abreu
Jorge Abreu

Big blind Cesar Garcia and Jorge Abreu in the hijack had built a sizable pot of 425,000 when they saw the 102A5 turn. Garcia checked to Abreu, who fired a bet of 155,000.

Garcia wanted to call, but accidentally put in too many chips. He claimed he had audibly announced his call, which was corroborated by one other player at the table. After some debate, his action was ruled a call.

The 2 then hit the river. Garcia led out for 250,000, causing Abreu to go deep into the tank. After a few time banks, Abreu raised all in for 505,000.

Garcia gave it some thought, but quickly shook his head and let his hand go in defeat.

Leo Worthington-Leese

Thomas Cazayous raised to 25,000 in middle position before Alex Keating three-bet to 80,000 in the cutoff. Leo Worthington-Leese then moved all in for 264,000 in the small blind and Cazayous folded, while Keating called to put Worthington-Leese at risk.

Leo Worthington-Leese: JJ All in
Alex Keating: AQ

Worthington-Leese needed his jacks to hold on to keep his tournament hopes alive, but he quickly fell behind as Keating hit two pair on the Q33 flop. The rest of the board ran out 210 and Worthington-Leese was sent to the rail.

Ojeil Hangs On to Bust Fazio

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Olivier Fazio
Olivier Fazio

Paul Runcan raised to 24,000 in middle position and was called by Felix Schneiders in the cutoff, as well as Olivier Fazio and Chady Ojeil in the blinds.

All four players checked the 965 flop. Ojeil then bet 75,000 on the 10 turn, and the table folded around to Fazio who moved all in. Ojeil snap-called.

Ojeil showed 1010 for a set, while Fazio had KJ for straight and flush draws. The 2 river was no help, and Ojeil secured the pot.

The stacks were counted down, and Ojeil had Fazio's remaining 300,000 covered to earn the knockout.

"Celebrate a little bit," Runcan said to Ojeil after the hand.

"I'm always happy," Ojeil replied.

Fours Are Kolev's Lucky Hand

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Boris Kolev moved all in for 101,000 in middle position and Grzegorz Kozieja called in the big blind.

Boris Kolev: 44 All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: A9

The 886 flop gave Kozieja outs to counterfeit Kolev's pair, while the turn was the K. Kolev held on through the J river, and he earned the double up.

"Coming back," Kozieja told him as he handed over the pot.

"I'm only playing fours from now on," Kolev replied.

Manuel Carvalho kicked off the hand with a raise to 27,000 under the gun. It folded to Paul Runcan on the button, who upped the ante to 74,000.

Carvalho put in a small four-bet to 154,000 in response, which Runcan called. Carvalho then continued for 65,000 on the 555 flop.

Runcan called to the 2 turn, where he eventually folded when Carvalho made an all-in bet worth 214,000.

Always Coming Seven For Carvalho to Send Out Rich

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Angelina Rich
Angelina Rich

Angelina Rich got in her last 100,000 from the button, and Manuel Carvalho put her at risk in early position.

Angelina Rich: AQ All in
Manuel Carvalho: 77

Rich took the lead on the KQ3 flop with a pair of queens, while the 8 turn left her a card away from a double up. The river, though, came the 7 and Carvalho spiked a set to send Rich to the rail.

"Always coming seven," tablemate Felix Schneiders said.

"That was from like three years ago," Carvalho replied.

"Still applies," Schneiders added.

Meisolle's Small Bets Get Job Done

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Bruno Fuentes opened to 25,000 in the hijack. Small blind Joachim Meisolle three-bet to 77,000, and Fuentes called once he confirmed the amount.

Fuentes called Meisolle's continuation-bet of 30,000 on the 6910 flop, but he mucked his cards to give up on the pot when Meisolle fired 35,000 on the A turn.

Tsugunari Toma three-bet to 78,000 in the big blind and Casimir Seire called in middle position. Michael Perrone then moved all in for 383,000 in the small blind.

Toma tanked for a minute but eventually gave up his hand, while Seire took a look back at the tournament clock before calling to put Perrone at risk.

Michael Perrone: 99 All in
Casimir Seire: 1010

"One under. Eights," Toma admitted as Seire had Perrone dominated with his tens. The board ran out K53AQ, and Seire remained in the lead to send Perrone to the rail.

"I fold if you call," Seire said to Toma after the hand.
