Barbosa to the Rail; Bicknell Doubles Up

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Joao Barbosa was all in preflop for 82,500 and at risk against Marc-Olivier Perrault.

Joao Barbosa: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Marc-Olivier Perrault: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The Portuguese media swooped in to capture one of their stars in search for a double up, but the {Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop was dreadful for them. The {10-Clubs} on the turn added the tens as outs to the aces but neither one appeared on the {8-Diamonds} river.

In the next hand at the same table, Kristen Bicknell shoved all in for 46,000. Everyone folded to Sebastian Von Toperczer in the big blind.

"Alright, let's go!" he said and called with {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Bicknell held {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and was miles ahead after the {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} flop.

"I see potential," Von Toperczer quipped but any hope of a backdoor miracle got smashed on the {3-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river to give Bicknell another double.

Wantman Straightened Out

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Bryn Kenney was eliminated on the secondary feature table and he was followed to the payout desk by Matthew Wantman, while Timo Kamphues claimed his chips.

According to Kamphues, he had raised and Wantman called on the button. Both checked the {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop and the {Q-Clubs} turn brought a check-raise from 12,000 to 38,000 by Kamphues, which Wantman called. On the {4-Clubs} river, Kamphues bet 78,000 and Wantman jammed for around double of that, the snap-call followed.

Wantman showed jacks and Kamphues had the nuts with {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}.

Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

Bryn Kenney was all in for just 20,500 and Randy Lew called from the big blind.

Bryn Kenney: {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Randy Lew: {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

Kenney was in a great spot with the king-eight but the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} path ultimately led to Lew making a straight. Kenney finished in 123rd place and collected a mincash.

Calamusa Flushes Farrell

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Pierre Calamusa raised to 8,000 and called a three-bet to 26,000 by Niall Farrell. Calamusa checked the {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop and called a continuation bet of 20,000.

Calamusa check-called another 58,000 on the {3-Clubs} turn and Farrell then got his last 130,000 in after the {2-Clubs} river. It would be the last hand of Farrell, who held {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}, as Calamusa turned over {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for the flush.

"What a waste of time bank cards, I even had the ace of clubs," Farrell sighed.

Grafton First One Out in the Money

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

With the bubble out of the way, Mike Leah raised to 10,000 in early position, Sam Grafton three-bet shoved 39,000 from the small blind and Leah called it off.

Sam Grafton: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Mike Leah: {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop kept Grafton way ahead but the {9-Hearts} on the turn was as bad as they'd come for the talkative Brit. Grafton needed a black ten to spin it up but caught the {6-Spades} instead to become the first one to collect the $17,620 mincash.

Farrell Takes From Hakim

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Niall Farrell opened to 8,000 under the gun. Jeff Hakim, on the button, called.

The flop was {4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Farrell checked. Hakim bet 13,500. Farrell took a few minutes of reflection, before check-raising to 42,000. Hakim tank-called.

The turn came the {5-Spades} and was checked around to the {k-Diamonds} river. Farrell moved all in for around 120,000. Hakim went deep into the tank but proceeded to let it go.

Four All-In-and-a-Calls; Bubble Bursts

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Hand-for-hand play was installed two places off the money, and in the first hand there were no fewer than four all-in-and-a-calls. All showdowns were postponed until every table had stopped dealing.

Stanley Lee Bubble
Stanley Lee Bubbles

Hand #1

First one up was Stanley Lee, who had open-shoved all in for 60,500 from the cutoff. Javier Zarco called the shove from the small blind, barely having Lee covered.

Stanley Lee: {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Javier Zarco: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Lee needed to catch a deuce but the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{A-Spades} board left him drawing dead by the time the turn had arrived.

Hand #2

After a raise by Mihai Manole first to act, Luc Greenwood jammed the button for 51,500 and Manole called. Once the previous hand was done, the camera crew rushed by to film the showdown.

Luc Greenwood: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Mihai Manole: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The board came {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Greenwood failed to connect, missing out on his overcards and flushdraw to ensure that the bubble would burst.

Hand #3

Kristen Bicknell opened to 17,000 with 8,000 behind and Ramon Miquel Munoz called in the small blind. The remaining chips went in after the {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop and the following cards were turned over.

Kristen Bicknell: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Ramon Miquel Munoz: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Neither the {5-Hearts} turn nor the {Q-Hearts} river were a threat and Bicknell doubled.

Hand #4

Matt Glantz, in middle position, moved all in for his last 46,000. Brian Altman, in the big blind, called.

Matt Glantz: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Brian Altman: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The board ran {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Glantz doubled up.

With that, both Lee and Greenwood were out, dropping the field down to 127. All remaining players are in the money and guaranteed a money finish of at least $17,620.

Souza Losea Flip to Segebrecht; Grafton Survives

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Down to 20,500, Sam Grafton got it in with the {A-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Scott Wellenbach called in the big blind with {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The board came {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Grafton doubled.

Ricardo Souza three-bet all in from the cutoff for 21,500 after a raise to 9,000 by Claas Segebrecht and was called by the German.

Ricardo Souza: {K-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Claas Segebrecht: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The board came {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} and the top two pair of Souza were no good, as Segebrecht rivered the flush. There are now 129 players remaining and hand-for-hand mode will start shortly.
