Karmatckii Picks Up a Monster, Gets No Action

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Action folded around to Arsenii Karmatckii on the button who looked down at {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and raised to 1,600,000. Both Nuri Hadioglu and Hannes Jeschka quickly folded from the blinds, and Karmatckii returning his kings to the dealer after picking up the minimum.

Two hands later, Karmatckii had {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} from the hijack but again had the rest of the table fold to his 1,600,000 raise.

Yiannis Liperis
Yiannis Liperis

Yiannis Liperis moved all in for 5,550,000 with {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} from the cutoff and Steven Warburton quickly called from the button with {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

Warburton made a pair on the {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop, but Liperis hit a set of fives. "Dead," Warburton said as he started counting out the chips to pay off Liperis.

Warburton was already drawing dead after the {9-Spades} turn, and Liperis finished with quads following the {5-Diamonds} river as he doubled up.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Jeschka bet 1,800,000 and Karmatckii called. The turn was the {5-Spades}. Jeschka then fired again, this time for 5,500,000. This time, Karmatckii folded his hand to give Jeschka a decent pot to move above the other short stacks.

Arsenii Karmatckii raised to 1,200,000 from the hijack with {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}. On the button, Hannes Jeschka picked up {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and used a time bank as he looked around at the other short stacks before shoving all in for 10,250,000.

The blinds quickly got out of the way as action folded back to Karmatckii, who also threw his pocket pair into the muck.

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Koray Korkmaz
Koray Korkmaz

Action folded to Arsenii Karmatckii in the small blind who raised enough with {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} to put Koray Korkmaz all in. Korkmaz looked down at {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and committed his last 4,500,000.

"Nine," Korkmaz pleaded as he walked over to the rail to await the {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop. The {2-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Korkmaz now began calling for a five to earn himself a chop.

The {a-Spades} on the river was no help and Korkmaz was sent to the rail in sixth place.

Manuel Fritz Eliminated in 7th Place ($80,000)

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Manuel Fritz
Manuel Fritz

Steven Warburton raised to 1,200,000 from the hijack with the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Manuel Fritz three-bet to 900,000 from the cutoff with the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} which was not all in as he had a small amount left behind. Warburton called.

There was a moment of confusion as Fritz stood up as if he was all in but he still had some chips left as the flop came {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

Warburton bet to make Fritz put the rest in which he did to put himself at risk. The turn was the {j-Diamonds} and the river came the {q-Hearts} to end his night, make Warburton the big chip leader and end the seven-handed stalemate after almost four hours.
