Bernard Larabi Eliminated in 10th Place ($27,000)

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Bernard Larabi opened to 300,000 under the gun, seeing Yiannis Liperis call in the seat next to him. It folded to Konstantin Voronin in the small blind, who piled in a three-bet to 1,700,000.

Larabi then spent one time bank before moving all in for 4,300,000, and Voronin called with the covering stack after Liperis had folded.

Bernard Larabi: A♥A♦ All in
Konstantin Voronin: K♠K♦

It was hold 'em's ultimate cooler. Voronin shot up from his seat when the K♥5♦6♥ flop gave him a set, putting him in prime position to crack Larabi's aces.

Voronin officially won the pot when the 7♣ turn and 3♣ river could not save Larabi, who took a sour exit in tenth place.

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Maksim Shornikau was down to 800,000 chips, which he shoved in from the cutoff. Nichan Khorchidian in the big blind snap-called, revealing the hands.

Maksim Shornikau: A♣Q♣ All in
Nichan Khorchidian: 3♠3♣

"Too many outs," Khorchidian said after the K♠9♣7♠6♣ turn gave Shornikau a flush draw to go with his overcards.

The 9♥ river indeed missed Shornikau, resulting in his exit in 11th place.

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Oshri Lahmani raised to 250,000 in the hijack, which Alessio Isaia three-bet to 800,000 in the cutoff. Small blind Aren Bezhanyan then tossed in his last 1,620,000, folding out Lahmani.

Isaia made a quick call, however, and the cards were opened.

Aren Bezhanyan: 9♠9♣ All in
Alessio Isaia: A♣10♠

The players were flipping, and the 4♥5♥Q♣ flop remained clean for Bezhanyan. The 10♦ turn did not, as it paired up Isaia. The 2♥ river did not save Bezhanyan, who said his goodbyes in 12th place.

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Bernard Larabi opened to 250,000 on the button. Dzmitry Budai sat in the big blind and three-bet to 1,150,000, after which Larabi moved all in. Budai's stack of 3,750,000 was slightly covered, and he called off to put himself at risk.

Dzmitry Budai: 10♥10♦ All in
Bernard Larabi: J♠J♥

Budai was heavily dominated. The K♠9♦Q♦ flop reversed the players' outs, but the 6♥5♦ runout brought none of them. Budai headed to the exit with a sad demeanor, while Larabi as good as doubled up.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Kirill Shcherbakov was all in on the button for 875,000, at risk against Vedat Yilmaz in the hijack.

Kirill Shcherbakov: A♦J♣ All in
Vedat Yilmaz: 6♥6♣

It was Shcherbakov's flip to lose after the 7♥J♦8♥ flop paired him up, but that is exactly what he did when Yilmaz rivered a full house after the 8♣ turn and 6♦ river, sending a muttering Shcherbakov to the exit.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Nichan Khorchidian put Mikalai Vaskaboinikau all-in from the small blind, with the latter quickly calling off his 750,000 chips in the big blind.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: Q♣10♥ All in
Nichan Khorchidian: Q♠4♠

Vaskaboinikau's domination did not last long, as the 7♠4♥3♣ flop paired Khorchidian's four. The 6♣ turn and 9♥ river could not save Vaskaboinikau, who quickly departed from the tournament as two tables remained.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Nichan Khorchidian raised to 160,000 in the cutoff and was met with a three-bet to 475,000 by Mikalai Vaskaboinikau on the button. It folded back to Khorchidian, who flicked in a call.

He then checked the 8♣Q♥4♥ flop to Vaskaboinikau, who continued for 375,000. Khorchidian called to the 8♥ turn, which he also checked.

Vaskaboinikau upped the ante to 525,000, which Khorchidian raised to 1,800,000. Vaskaboinikau then made a massive shove, and Khorchidian snapped off his 4,050,000 chips.

Nichan Khorchidian: A♥10♥ All in
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: K♠Q♦

Vaskaboinikau needed a queen or eight to best the flush of Khorchidian, but the river came the 9♥ instead. Khorchidian doubled to a gargantuan stack of eight figures, leaving Vaskaboinikau with just over ten big blinds.

Mohamed Mokrani committed his final 450,000 on the button. Oshri Lahmani then reshoved in the small blind, and Yury Artamonov immediately called off his stack of 700,000 in the big blind.

Mohamed Mokrani: K♦4♥ All in
Yury Artamonov: 10♥10♦ All in
Oshri Lahmani: A♦Q♣

The 6♣8♣J♠9♣ turn brought Lahmani some more outs, and he hit his flush draw on the 7♣ river to take the pot and eliminate his two opponents.

Alessio Isaia made it 125,000 from the hijack and Natan Chauskin shoved for around 1,100,000 from the small blind. Isaia snap-called.

Natan Chauskin: 10♥10♦ All in
Alessio Isaia: A♠A♦

Chauskin was crushed by Isaia's aces. The runout of 5♦K♣2♠7♦K♠ didn't help Chauskin, and was out in 18th place.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Three-way to a flop of A♣J♣7♥, Roman Stoika checked from the big blind to Dzmitry Budai in middle position. He fired a bet of 200,000, which Konstantin Voronin called on the button.

Stoika then spent a few time banks before announcing his all-in for 865,000. Budai quickly reshoved, forcing Voronin to fold his A♠4♠.

Roman Stoika: A♥3♥ All in
Dzmitry Budai: K♣7♣

Budai locked up the pot on the 5♣ turn, with the 10♣ river giving him an extra club for show. Stoika tossed his cards in the muck before he left the tournament area, muttering to himself.
