Kevin Andriamahefa Eliminated in 24th Place ($19,000)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Kevin Andriamahefa
Kevin Andriamahefa

Kevin Andriamahefa was the shortest stack coming back from break and shoved from middle position for exactly 200,000. Small blind Michael Bartholomew asked for a count and then reshoved upon finding out it was ten big blinds. The big blind folded right away.

Kevin Andriamahefa: {A-Spades}{2-Spades}
Michael Bartholomew: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Spades}{K-Clubs}{7-Clubs} made Bartholomew the heavy favorite but the {5-Spades} on the turn was a scare card. The {10-Diamonds} on the river wasn't one of the cards Andriamahefa was looking for and he exited the tournament in 24th place winning $19,000. The remaining 23 players are guaranteed $24,640 from here on out.

Andriamahefa Getting Shorter

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Scott Stewart was the one opening the action with a raise to 32,000 from middle position. Big blind Kevin Andriamahefa called to see a flop heads-up.

Andriamahefa check-called a bet of 44,000 on {9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} before leading 50,000 on the {5-Spades} turn. Andriamahefa had just 209,000 behind at this point but opted to fold after Stewart raised to 128,000.

Michael Gentili Keeps Climbing

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Gentili started the day with 688,000 but dropped down to less than half of that. After winning an all in with ace-king vs the ace-ten of Scott Stewart, Gentili clawed his way back and is now in the thick of things again.

On a board reading {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, with about 200,000 in the middle already, Pedro Cabeca led out for 125,000. Gentili was in the cutoff and three-bet to 260,000. Cabeca thought about it for a moment and eventually called.

Gentili quickly tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the nut straight and Cabeca mucked his cards.

Gentili now has just shy of a million chips.

Jorge De Oliveira Lopez Eliminated by Alan Schein

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Alan Schein limped in early position and Jorge De Oliveira Lopez moved all in for his remaining 147,000 chips on the button.

Schein asked for a count and eventually called.

Schein: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
De Oliveira: {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, keeping Schein in the lead with a pair of queens.

The turn was the {2-Hearts} and De Oliveira picked up some more outs with a straight draw.

The river was the {3-Spades}. Schein's queens held and De Oliveira was sent to the rail.

Mateos Counterfeited

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened to 32,000 in middle position and got action from Marcin Kapkowski on his left, as well as the players on the button and in the big blind. Action checked to Mateos on the {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop, and he bet 62,000. Only Kapkowski stuck around to see the {9-Clubs} turn. Mateos bet again, 115,000 this time. Kapkowski called and a {3-Clubs} made a four-flush on board. Mateos had less than pot left and opted to check. Kapkowski counted out enough to put Mateos all in then ultimately checked.

Mateos showed {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a turned flush, but the river had given Kapkowski's {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} a higher flush.
