Vladimir Troyanovsky

Russia's interest in this Super High Roller tournament is over after the elimination of Vladimir Troyanovsky.

Troyanovsky raised from under the gun and the action folded around to Sorel Mizzi in the big blind who shoved. Troyanovsky had 1.65m at the start of the hand and called them off after some serious thought.

Troyanovsky: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Mizzi: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The board ran {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} to confirm his exit.

Shove From Altergott

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier raised under the gun plus one and Max Altergott moved all in over the top with {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. The action was folded back to Mercier who had {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and eventually he decided to fold.

So far we've seen plenty of all-in shoves but no callers just yet. The stacks are getting quite shallow but everyone is still looking to jump up on the payout ladder.

Mercier Back into the Lead

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Jason Mercier's agression just now was enough to force Timothy Adams off a hand.

The latter opened to 125,000 from the cut-off and Mercier called from the small blind en route to a {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop. The Team PokerStars Pro led for 130,000 and Adams called to face a 345,000 bet on the {9-Spades} turn.

It was too much for him to call and Mercier picked up the poy with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Mercier: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and the pot was chopped.
