Stoyan Madanzhiev Eliminated in 8th Place ($45,000); Ehsan Amiri Eliminated in 9th Place ($34,400)

Maxime Taldir

Level 23 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Jovan Kenjic opened to 800,000 from middle position with K♠Q♣, then Aleksandr Kirichenko to his left called, as well as Stoyan Madanzhiev and Ehsan Amiri in the blinds.

The dealer fanned a flop of 5♣9♣5♥, and Madanzhiev moved directly all-in for 1,800,000. Amiri shoved as well for 200,000 and Kirichenko was the only one to call both stacks.

Ehsan Amiri: Q♠9♥ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: K♣10♣ All in
Aleksandr Kirichenko: Q♦Q♥

Kirichenko and Amiri flopped two pair, but Kirichenko with the biggest stack had the best hand. Madanzhiev with a flush draw was still hoping for clubs, but the J♠ turn and the 3♦ didn't change anything so both Amiri and Madanzhiev were eliminated.

Full House for Muratov

Maxime Taldir

Level 23 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Michel Molenaar opened to 800,000 from middle position and Anvar Muratov in the cutoff called with his last 750,000 chips.

Stoyan Madanzhiev called as well, and all three of them discovered a flop of A♠4♥A♦. Molenaar bet 500,000, and Madanzhiev check-folded with K♣J♥.

Anvar Muratov: 4♠4♣ All in
Michel Molenaar: 10♠10♦

Muratov was lucky enough to flop a full house, so he doubled up after the J♠ turn and the 5♥ river.

Maxime Taldir

Level 22 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Dmitry Zakharov raised to 600,000 from under the gun with K♣Q♥, and Nikita Kalinin three-bet to 1,000,000 from two seats over. The other players folded to Zakharov, who called.

Both players checked the 9♥2♠9♠ flop, leading to the 10♣ turn where Zakharov checked again. Kalinin bet 500,000, and after a long moment, Zakharov chose to fold.

Kenjic With Two Pair

Maxime Taldir

Level 22 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Aleksandr Kirichenko in early position won the blinds, then opened to 600,000 from under the gun.

Jovan Kenjic defended from the big blind and check-called for 625,000 on the Q♦2♥6♣ flop. Kirichenko fired a second barrel of 1,700,000 on the 7♥ turn, and Kenjic check-called once again.

The 5♦ came on the river, but Kirichenko decided to give him as he checked back with K♠10♠. Kenjic had two pair with 7♦6♠, so he won this pot.

Kalinin Takes From Kenjic

Maxime Taldir

Level 22 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

After an open to 600,000 by Aleksandr Kirichenko in early position with 10♠8♠, Marcin Dziubdziela in the cutoff found A♠A♥, so he three-bet to 1,600,000, prompting Kirichenko to fold.

On the next hand, Jovan Kenjic raised to 600,000 from early position with K♦6♦, and he was called by Nikita Kalinin who defended from the big blind with Q♥7♥.

Kenjic continued for 300,000 on the 2♣9♣7♣ flop. Kalinin check-called, then both players checked the J♥ turn.

The 9♦ completed the board and Kalinin led out for 300,000. Kenjic only had king-high, so he folded.

Kirichenko Three-Bets Again

Maxime Taldir

Level 22 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev almost moved all-in from under the gun with A♣Q♣, but he only won the blinds.

On the next hand, Michel Molenaar raised to 600,000 from middle position with 9♥9♦, but Aleksandr Kirichenko three-bet to 1,600,000 from the hijack with K♣J♠. Molenaar called.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♣4♣10♥, and Kirichenko continued for 1,100,000. Molenaar didn't hit the board, so he folded at this point.
