Nice Read, Mister Boeken

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Noah Boeken raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and Amir Mozaffarian called in the small blind, so did [Removed:17] in the big blind. On the {9-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} flop, Mozaffarian check-raised to 49,000 and Yan check-folded whereas Boeken made a continuation bet of 19,000. The Dutchman tanked for a while and then folded, asking his opponent if he had {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. Mozaffarian later told us on the rail that he was somewhat scared, because Boeken had guessed his hand range ... the German had {10-Spades} {9-Spades}.

Rachid Choukri Eliminated in 22nd Place (€8,261)

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Rachid Choukri
Rachid Choukri

The action folded to Rachid Choukri in early position and he moved all in for 75,000. All players behind him folded except for Juha Helppi. The Finn peeked at his cards and then immediately pushed forward his stack of T-5,000 chips for the call.

Choukri: {A-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Helppi: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

The {9-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {7-Spades} flop was no good for Choukri and it was already all over on the {K-Diamonds} turn. A meaningless {K-Spades} river completed the board and the field was reduced to 21 players. Choukri was eliminated in 22nd place and takes home €8,261 for his efforts.

The {6-Spades} on the river triggered a bet of 65,000 by Visser and Brosky moved all in for what looked like 190,000.

Visser briefly considered his decision and called with {6-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} for trip sixes. Brosky had the worse kicker in {6-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} and joined the rail in 23rd place.
