Manole No More; Munoz Melts Him

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Mihai Manole was spotted heading to the rail and the cards at his former table were still showing while the chips were sent over to the other side of the table. Manole was all in with pocket fives and Ramon Miquel Munoz had that dominated with {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}. The board came {K-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and while Manole flopped a set, it was no good against the rivered straight of Munoz.

Anatoly Chen lost a massive pot to Nick Petrangelo first. He opened the cutoff for 13,000 and called Petrangelo's big blind shove for 207,000 total. Chen had the best hand with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} but saw Petrangelo river the {A-Spades} with his {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}.

Nichols and Van Putten Eliminated

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Terry Nichols got his last chips in with the {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and was called by Philippe D'Auteuil with {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}. The board of {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} brought no surprise and Nichols was gone.

At the payout desk, Jasper Meijer van Putten followed right after Nichols and said he was unable to hold up with ace-king against the ace-jack of Martin Aasen Lunde. His previous table has a host of big names with plenty of chips and they can be found below.

Hanna Makes a Move with Eight-Four, Busts

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Frederico Spilimbergo Volpe
Frederico Spilimbergo Volpe

Georges Hanna opened from middle position and Frederico Spilimbergo Volpe in the cutoff and Dimitrios Michailidis in the big blind both called.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Michailidis checked. Hanna bet 25,000 and Volpe called, Michailidis folded.

With the {4-Clubs} landing on the turn, Hanna checked. Volpe bet 75,000 and Hanna check raised to 200,000. Volpe called.

The {9-Diamonds} completed the board and Hanna announced all in, shoving for about 400,000. Volpe asked for confirmation that his opponent was indeed all in, and called upon getting confirmation. Since Volpe had 425,000 behind at that point, Hanna was the one all in.

Hanna hit the table with his fist, reason enough for Volpe to know for sure his {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} was good. Hanna mucked, but the dealer revealed his hand to be {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

Volpe Busts Camunas; Yurasov Gone

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Aymon Hata looked up the shove of Aleksey Ponakov for 139,000 and tabled {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} only to find himself up against the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} of the Russian. The board came {K-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Hata took a hit to his stack.

Sergio Alonso Camunas raised from under the gun and called the shove of massive chip leader Frederico Spilimbergo Volpe in the blinds.

Frederico Spilimbergo Volpe: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Sergio Alonso Camunas: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The board of {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs} failed to improve the regular of the Casino Barcelona and he was eliminated.

Dmitry Yurasov lost a big pot with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} against the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of Maksim Prokhorov on a board of {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} and busted soon after.

Bari and Sebu Gone; Hansen Scores Big Double

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

On the flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Alberto Bari put his hopes and last 130,000 chips on {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Pavel Nikolaev called on the button with {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. The {2-Clubs} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river changed nothing anymore and Bari was eliminated.

Marius Sebu joined the rail shortly after. After a raise in middle position, Benjamin Rolle three-bet in the small blind and Sebu moved all in from the big blind for around 60,000. The initial raiser folded and Rolle called.

Marius Sebu: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Benjamin Rolle: {8-Spades}{5-Spades}

The board came {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Sebu was gone. "I had better two pair on the flop and would not have folded," the initial raiser said.

Last but not least, Johnny Hansen doubled through Saar Wilf. The board was already completed, showing {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and Hansen shoved for 165,000. The pot was less than that and Hansen showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} only, however Wilf had hero-called with {K-}{2-} for the inferior pair to lose a big pot right before the break.
