Simao Doubles Through Veksler

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joao Simao
Joao Simao

In the very first hand after coming back from the break, Joao Simao jammed his last 230,000 from the small blind and Pavel Veksler instantly called out of the big blind.

Joao Simao: {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Pavel Veksler: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop gave both players top pair, but Simao had the flush draw on top. "Always a sweat," Chino Rheem chimed in.

Simao immediately got there thanks to the {5-Hearts} turn, which made the {9-Spades} river a formality.

Vogelsang Leaves Camosci With Dust

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang shoved all in for 415,000 from the small blind. Enrico Camosci called all in for 445,000 from the big blind.

Christoph Vogelsang: {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Enrico Camosci: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades} to give Vogelsang the winner with a pair of eights on the river.

"Ahh, sh*t," Camosci sighed, who was left with a single big blind.

Enrico Camosci Eliminated in 17th Place ($69,220)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Enrico Camosci
Enrico Camosci

In the very next hand after losing all but one big blind, Enrico Camosci was in the small blind and Christoph Vogelsang on the button raised to 60,000. Camosci called all in for 35,000 and Brian Altman called in the big blind. The remaining two active players checked the {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop and Altman's bet of 175,000 on the {7-Spades} turn forced a fold from Vogelsang.

Enrico Camosci: {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Brian Altman: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The Italian rail was asking for an ace, but their wish wasn't granted with a blank {Q-Spades} river. Camosci was eliminated in 17th place for $69,220 and the remaining 16 players will now redraw to the last two tables.

Joao Simao Eliminated in 16th Place ($69,220)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joao Simao
Joao Simao

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 65,000 in middle position, Joao Simao three-bet shoved 460,000 from the blinds and Vogelsang instantly called it off.

Joao Simao: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Christoph Vogelsang: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari was on the rail to cheer for his countryman on and the Brazilians saw the {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop add a flush draw to the outs. The {10-Hearts} on the turn meant Simao could only win with a flush, but the river was the {10-Diamonds} instead to deliver him death by quads.

Rheem Rivers the Nuts

Chino Rheem
Chino Rheem

Matthias Eibinger in the big blind faced a raise to 60,000 by Chino Rheem and flat-called to see the {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, on which he then called a bet of 75,000. Eibinger checked the {K-Clubs} turn and Rheem checked behind.

Eibinger bet the {Q-Hearts} river for 210,000 only to face a quick raise to 600,000 by Rheem. After some consideration, the Austrian called and was shown the {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight to lose a decent chunk of his stack.
