Boivin Doubles Through Liberto

Level 25 : 15,000/35,000, 35,000 ante

On a {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop Thomas Boivin checked and Justin Liberto bet 135,000. Boivin check-raised all in for 940,000 and after using one time extension, Libero called.

Thomas Boivin: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Justin Liberto: {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The turn {9-Spades} and river {8-Hearts} changed nothing and Boivin held on to double up.

Flush Over Flush Eliminates Metaal

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Govert Metaal
Govert Metaal

Josip Simunic raised it up from the hijack and was called by Govert Metaal on the button and Sergio Aido in the big blind. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Aido checked to Simunic who continued for 100,000. Metaal and Aido both called to see the {7-Diamonds} on the turn.

Aido led out for 225,000 this time and Simunic quickly folded. Metaal shipped all in for around 625,000 and Aido quickly called. Metaal turned over {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} but it was no good against the {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} of Aido. The insignificant {10-Spades} completed the board and Metaal was eliminated.

Deyra Counterfeits Grafton

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ivan Deyra pushed all in for 650,000 from the cutoff and Sam Grafton called on the button. Rainer Kempe gave it a mere thought but folded his {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} face up.

Ivan Deyra: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Sam Grafton: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} which would have given Kempe the best hand. But as it was, Grafton held a marginal lead. The turn was the {8-Spades} to give Deyra even more outs and he found the dirtiest way to win on the {8-Hearts} river that counterfeited Grafton's small pair.

Quads for Deeb

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A sizeable pot had amassed between Freddy Deeb and Justin Liberto with 1.4 million in the middle on a {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} river. Liberto had checked to Deeb who bet 1,100,000.

Liberto thought before calling.

"Four threes," said Deeb showing {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Liberto mucked. Liberto is now down below ten big blinds.

Simunic With An Agonizing River Fold

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Two players checked to Josip Simunic on a {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop and he bet 125,000. Tom Marchese check-raised to 280,000 and Simunic was the only caller.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}. Marchese bet 240,000 and Simunic called.

The river was the {5-Spades} and Marchese moved all in. Simunic burned through all three of his time extensions before folding.

Loeser Eliminated; Three Table Redraw

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov opened to 90,000 and got called from Jeremy Pekarek. Manig Loeser then three-bet all in for 1,000,000 and Mustafov called.

"I'm glad you have something," said Pekarek, folding what he said was {a-}{j-}.

Manig Loeser: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Fahredin Mustafov: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

The {4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} was thoroughly seven-less and Loeser was eliminated. The remaining 24 players are being redrawn around three tables.
