Late-Night Eliminations

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Big Stacks Clash, No Blood Drawn

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Narcis Nedelcu opened to 100,000 from middle position, which saw Kenneth Svendsen respond with a three-bet to 325,000 from the hijack. The action returned to Nedelcu, who four-bet to 700,000, which Svendsen called.

Both players checked on the 3♠9♦6♠ flop, and the A♠ turn joined the board.

Nedelcu checked, prompting Svendsen to put a bet of 600,000 into the middle. After a moment's consideration, Nedelcu moved all in for 2,200,000. Svendsen didn't love the situation, but called nonetheless.

Narcis Nedelcu: A♣K♦ All in
Kenneth Svendsen: A♦K♣

As it turned out, the two players had the same hand.

The dealer completed the board with the 9♠ before chopping the pot and moving on.

Sardini on Piles, Cahill Receives Some Crumbs

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Gavin Sardini
Gavin Sardini

In the cutoff, Gavin Sardini opened to 100,000 off of a huge stack. Seamus Cahill then three-bet to 275,000 on the button, and Sardini called after it had folded back to him.

The Q♣2♠3♦ flop saw Cahill continue for 100,000. Sardini gave it some thought, but opted to muck his cards and grant the pot to his opponent.

Cendoya Latest to Fall

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jokin Cendoya raised to 650,000, leaving himself just 15,000 behind. Not realising the bet was not an all-in, Gavin Sardini called and flipped over his cards, revealing ace-king.

The floor was called, and they ruled that the hand would play as normal, just that Cendoya would have the obvious extra information of his opponent's hand.

The dealer spread a king-high 9♣K♥2♣ flop, and Sardini bet 50,000. Cendoya called for his remaining 15,000.

Jokin Cendoya: A♠J♦ All in
Gavin Sardini: A♣K♦

There was no saving grace for Cendoya, as the 4♦ turn and Q♠ river completed the board.

The End for Evers

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nils Evers committed his 475,000 chips under the gun, and was looked up by Craig MacLeod in middle position.

Nils Evers: A♣9♥ All in
Craig MacLeod: K♠K♥

Evers turned some extra outs on 3♠10♣6♦9♠, but the 10♦ river brought none of them, sending him to the exit.

Kicker Problems Leave Flanagan Short

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Barry Furlong opened to 110,000 from middle position, only to see Tomas Flanagan three-bet to 325,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Furlong, who called.

The dealer spread a K♠8♣3♦ flop, and both players checked.

Furlong led out for 250,000 on the 9♠ turn, which Flanagan called.

The Q♥ completed the board, and Furlong put 400,000 into the middle. Again, Flanagan called.

Furlong flipped over K♣J♠, which was enough to beat the K♥10♦ of Flanagan.

Preflop Cooler Spells End for Morais

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Frederico Morais was all in against Mo Xu, putting his stack of 850,000 at risk.

Frederico Morais: A♥K♥ All in
Mo Xu: A♠A♦

Morais needed runner-runner outs after the 4♣6♣Q♣ flop, but the 8♥ turn sealed the pot in the favor of Xu. Morais shared some fist bumps as the 10♥ river was dealt, and exited the tournament area.
