Kai Cocklin

Level 26 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

The action folded around to Garik Tamasian in the small blind, who took one peek at the stack to his left and shoved. Bernard Larabi was in the big blind and with around 6,500,000, he called.

Bernard Larabi: A♦9♦ All in
Garik Tamasian: K♣5♠

Larabi was ahead and the J♠2♠2♥ flop looked good for him. However, the 5♣ turn gave Tamasian a pair and left Larabi with just one chance to hit. He couldn't find any of the cards he needed as the 10♣ rolled off on the river, sending him to the rail.

Level 26 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Dawid Smolka made it 1,400,000 to go from the small blind and Dmitry Kataev shoved for 8,500,000 from the big blind. Smolka snap-called.

Dmitry Kataev: K♣2♠ All in
Dawid Smolka: K♦K♥

Kataev had gotten himself in the worst possible spot preflop with king-deuce versus the Cowboys of Smolka.

There was no sweat for Smolka on the 6♣J♠8♣9♠7♥ runout, and the start of Day 3 chip leader was out in 15th place.

Level 26 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Garik Tamasian opened to 1,200,000 from the hijack and Zorlu Er shoved the small blind for 3,200,000. When it got back to Tamasian, he made the call.

Zorlu Er: A♠10♣ All in
Garik Tamasian: A♣J♣

Er was behind and didn't like to see the Q♠3♣2♣ flop as Tamasian picked up a flush draw. The 5♣ on the turn completed the flush and confirmed Er's elimination as the meaningless 2♠ filled out the board.

Level 26 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

The action was picked on the river of a board showing J♦10♥Q♦6♦3♦ and with around 4,500,000 in the pot. Lars Kamphues was first to act with just 75,000 remaining in his stack. He checked and Milad Oghabian Langar bet 600,000 from the cutoff. Daniel Thaller folded the button, but Kamphues called.

Lars Kamphues: 5♣4♦ All in
Milad Oghabian Langar: 5♥5♦

Kamphues had a flush with the four of diamonds, but was pipped by one as Langar had a higher flush with his five. The pot was sent to Langar and Kamphues was out in 17th.

Level 26 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Alexandros Kolonias shoved for 7,800,000 from under the gun and Milad Oghabian Langar called from the hijack with a slightly covering stack.

Alexandros Kolonias: 10♦9♦ All in
Milad Oghabian Langar: A♥J♦

Kolonias had live cards and an action flop of 7♦A♠8♦ gave him an open-ended straight flush draw and Langer top pair!

A 4♥ on the turn was a brick, and the 8♠ river cemented Kolonias' place on the rail.

Level 26 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Bernard Larabi limped from the small blind and Daniel Heredi checked his option from the big blind.

Larabi checked the 10♠9♠6♥ flop and Heredi bet out for 1,400,000. Larabi called.

Larabi opted to lead out for 1,500,000 when the dealer put out the 6♠ on the turn. Heredi made the call.

The 8♦ landed on the river and Larabi checked. Heredi shoved for Larabi's remaining 9,9750,000, and Larabi went into the tank. Larabi burned through a few time banks before eventually opting to fold 10♣7♣ for a straight. Heredi was kind enough to show he had the goods with 9♦6♣ for a turned boat.

Level 25 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Anthony Spinella shoved for just over 5,000,000 from under the gun and Alexandros Kolonias shoved for 15,000,000 from the cutoff. Andreas Mavromoustakis was in the big blind and with around 11,000,000, he put himself at risk.

Anthony Spinella: 10♥10♦ All in
Andreas Mavromoustakis: J♥J♣ All in
Alexandros Kolonias: A♦K♣

Mavromoustakis has the best of it preflop but Kolonias had a chance to send two players to the rail in one swoop if his Big Slick could win the hand.

On the 8♥9♥6♣ flop, Mavromoustakis kept his advantage and even improved to a flush draw on the Q♥ turn. No drama fell on the river as the 9♠ kept Mavromoustakis in the lead, almost tripling his stack. Spinella hit the rail, and Kolonias was left with just a few big blinds.
