Spadavecchia Doubles Through Reijmer

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

After Matt Lichtie opened the pot to 24,000, John Spadavecchia re-raised all in for 86,000. Action folded to Daniel Reijmer in the big blind and he shoved, forcing Lichtie out.

Spadavecchia: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Reijmer: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, giving Spadavecchia a flush and upping his stack to about 200,000. Reijmer slipped to about 360,000.

Break

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

It's that time again. Another 15-minute break is here for the players.

Yuvee04 is YuveeOUT

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Daniel Reijmer and Yuval Bronshtein got all the money in preflop again, but this time it was Bronshtein the one at risk.

Reijmer: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Bronshtein: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Although Reijmer had Bronshtein dominated preflop, the flop changed things when the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} rolled off. Bronshtein picked up a great flop for his hand and looked like he was going to double up.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts} and just like that, Reijmer was back in front with a broadway straight. The river then completed the board with the {3-Diamonds}.Even despite a huge flop, Bronshtein lost the hand and was eliminated from the tournament. Reijmer moved back to 390,000 in chips.

Binger Flushed Away

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
Michael Binger - eliminated
Michael Binger - eliminated

Michael Binger moved all in for about 200,000 on a board of {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} after a bet of 46,000 from Kim Frederiksen and a call from Dmitriy Stelmak. Frederiksen then re-shoved for effectively 270,000 total sending Stelmak deep into the tank.

After a minute or two Stelmak called the clock on himself and with ten seconds remaining he released his cards.

"I might be drawing dead," Frederiksen said to Binger turning over {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

"No," Binger sighed tabling {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}. "I have top set, need the board to pair."

The dealer burned and turned the {9-Clubs} and Stelmak winced in his seat at the site of a fourth club. With only one card to come Binger needed any nine, six, four or two but found none of the above when the {3-Diamonds} rivered, eliminating him from the tournament.

Stelmak told the table that he indeed folded a club higher than ten, which was good for Frederiksen because he won the pot and is now up to 780,000 chips.

Even More Chips for Geyer

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Action folded around to Jiøí Kulhánek on the button and he raised to 18,000. David Robinson was in the small blind and three-bet to 48,000. Adam Geyer was in the big blind and flatted before Kulhánek also called.

The three players saw the flop come down {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades} and everyone checked to see the {J-Spades} come out on the turn. Robinson checked and Geyer fired 80,000. Kulhánek mucked before Robinson stuck in the call.

THe {4-Spades} hit the felt on the river and Robinson paused for a moment before checking to Geyer. The chip leader fired 115,000 with one smooth, two-handed motion. Robinson announced a call and Geyer turned up the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a set of nines. Robinson mucked his hand and was left with 250,000. Geyer is up to about 1.675 million. That's a rough estimate though as he's got a mountain of chips stacked in front of him and we can't quite see everything that's underneath on the bottom.

Lewis bet 45,000 and after about two minutes Sands called, but mucked when Lewis turned over {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.
