Patel Snipes Segebrecht

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Emil Patel raised to 6,000, Claas Segebrecht shoved for 36,500 behind him and Patel tank-called.

Claas Segebrecht: {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Emil Patel: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Segebrecht was a favorite to start with and remained ahead after the {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Patel picked up a flush draw and added more outs when the {Q-Hearts} fell on the turn.

The dealer burned and turned the {4-Diamonds} on the river to complete Patel's flush and end Segebrecht's run.

Anthony Zinno Eliminated

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau was first to act and shoved all in for 32,800. Tomi Brouk called the shove one seat over. In middle position, Anthony Zinno put 65,000 of his 85,000 stack forward.

The action was folded to Emin Aghayev in the small blind, who went all in for 155,000.

"You boys have fun," laughed Brouk, who folded his hand. Zinno committed the few remaining chips he had behind.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Anthony Zinno: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Emin Aghayev: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop helped neither player who was at risk. Aghayev also kept the lead after the {5-Diamonds} on the turn.

The {8-Spades} on the river elicited a fist-pump from Vaskaboinikau, who escaped elimination by rivering the two-outer. The side pot went to Aghayev and Zinno was eliminated.

Engel's Five-Bet With King-Jack Pays Off Before Break

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We found Ari Engel in the hijack with a three-bet of 16,500 in front of him after his neighbor opened to 5,500. That player made it 39,500 to go, and Engel used a time extension in response. He said he was all in, and his opponent double-checked his holding and called for about 135,000.

Engel: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop did nothing for either player, but the {j-Hearts} caused Engel's opponent to mutter something in his native tongue. A {j-Spades} finished out the board for good measure.

Players went on a 20-minute break afterward.
