Alexandre Vuilleumier
Alexandre Vuilleumier

After Alexandre Vuilleumier moved all in for his last 1,800,000 on the button, the small blind of Pavel Plesuv moved all in. The big blind of Sergey Baranski then overcalled all in for his last 1,400,000 and two players were at risk, with Plesuv covering both.

Sergey Baranski: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Alexandre Vuilleumier: {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Pavel Plesuv: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The Belarusian was ahead, with the other two having one of each of their outs taken. The board ran out {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} to give Baranski the best hand, with his queen kicker playing versus Plesuv. Vuilleumier was eliminated in 15th for $14,000.

Baranski Cackles While Doubling Their Stack

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Sergey Baranski moved all in from the cutoff for 603,000 and was called by Daniel Thaller in the big blind

Sergey Baranski: {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Daniel Thaller: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Thaller was ahead, but it was a favorable flop for Baranski when the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} hit the felt. When the {4-Spades} was tabled on the turn Baranski loudly went "Haw! Haw!" in the style of Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons. The {2-Spades} completed the board and Baranski more than doubled their stack.

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Mihai Niste
Mihai Niste

Mihai Niste got his last 200,000 or so in the middle from the hijack and Pavel Plesuv called from the big blind for barely anything more.

Mihai Niste: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Pavel Plesuv: {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The board of {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} gave Plesuv a pair and sent Niste out in 16th for $12,000

Each of the remaining players have now locked up $14,000. The next pay jump will come at 13th ($16,000).

Niste Left With Fumes

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Daniel Thaller moved all in from under the gun for 1,570,000 and was called by Mihai Niste in the big blind who barely covered Thaller.

Daniel Thaller: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Mihai Niste: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Niste was looking for paint but the home improvement store was empty. The board of {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts} did not give Niste a sniff of a chance of winning the hand. Thaller got the double and Niste was left with slightly over one big blind.

Yury Salikaev

WIth action on the small blind of Alexandre Vuilleumier, he put Yury Salikaev all in for his last 300,000 chips or so and the Russian player called.

Yury Salikaev: {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Alexandre Vuilleumier: {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}

The board of {5-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} gave the Swis player trips, sending the short stacked Salikaev out in 17th.
