No Heart for Durnegger

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Gianluca Speranza raised to 50,000 on the button and picked up calls from Markus Durnegger in the small blind and Tom-Aksel Bedell in the big blind. The flop came {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and the action checked around to the {7-Clubs} on the turn.

Durnegger led out for 115,000 and Bedell raised to 250,000. Speranza folded and Durnegger called to see the {q-Clubs} on the river. Durnegger checked this time and Bedell quickly checked back. Durnegger tabled {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a missed flush draw which was unfortunate for him as Bedell had {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a pair and smaller flush draw.

Zamani Doubles Through Speranza

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gianluca Speranza opened to 45,000 from under the gun and Martin Zamani shipped all in for 475,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Speranza made the call to put Zamani at risk.

Martin Zamani: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Gianluca Speranza: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Zamani held the larger of the pocket pairs and the board of {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} ensured him of a double up.

River Helps Speranza

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gianluca Speranza raised to 45,000 in the cutoff and Markus Durnegger call on the button. Martin Zamani came along from the big blind and the three players saw the turn for free, so the community read {7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Zamani led out for 80,000 and Speranza continued to the {9-Spades} river. Zamani bet 150,000 and Speranza called fairly quickly.

Zamani showed {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} but his turned three-outer had been nixed on the river as Speranza held {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

Muehloecker Raises the River

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Thomas Muehloecker raised to 45,000 on the button and Markus Durnegger defended from the big blind. The flop fell {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and both players checked to the {2-Clubs} on the turn.

Durnegger led out for 45,000 and Muehloecker stuck around to see the {j-Spades} pair the board on the river. Durnegger fired another bet of 60,000 and Muehloecker raised to 330,000. Durnegger briefly thought about it but decided to let his cards go.

Sean Winter raised to 100,000 with 65,000 back in middle position. Tom-Aksel Bedell called in the cutoff and Martin Zamani put in 280,000 on the button. Winter stuck his remaining crumbs in, and Bedell said he was all in. Zamani quickly folded.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Sean Winter: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, no sweat for Bedell.

Davidi Kitai Eliminated in 8th Place ($112,040)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai

Thomas Muehloecker opened to 45,000 in middle position and Davidi Kitai pushed all in for his last 165,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Muehloecker who made a quick call.

Thomas Muehloecker: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Davidi Kitai: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Kitai was in a great position to double his short stack and the flop of {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} left him in the lead. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Kitai needed to fade five outs. However, the {j-Spades} on the river gave Muehloecker two pair and Kitai was eliminated.
