Stefan Schillhabel Eliminated

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Stefan Schillhabel
Stefan Schillhabel

Stefan Schillhabel opened under the gun plus one for 40,000 and action folded around quickly to Albert Daher in the big blind. The man from Lebanon shoved and Schillhabel snap called for about 400,000 total.

Stefan Schillhabel: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Albert Daher: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop of {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades} brought nothing to worry about for Schillhabel but the {J-Diamonds} on the turn was possibly (apart from a queen) the worst card in the deck. The {K-Spades} on the river paired up Schillhabel but made Daher's straight and the former stood up while the latter started raking in the chips.

Down to 8 players, the official bubble has started.

Mustapha Kanit

In one of the first hands of the unofficial nine-handed final table, Adrian Mateos raised to 35,000 and Mustapha Kanit defended the big blind. The flop fell {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Kanit checked, Mateos bet 30,000 and called the check-raise all in of Kanit.

Mustapha Kanit: {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Adrian Mateos: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The {Q-Spades} turn and {9-Hearts} river were both blanks and Kanit doubled for 193,000.

Schillhabel Caught Bluffing

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Stefan Schillhabel
Stefan Schillhabel

In the last hand before the unofficial final table was set, Albert Daher raised to 35,000 on the button and Stefan Schillhabel three-bet to 125,000 in the small blind. Daher called and the duo checked the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop and the {8-Clubs} turn. On the {4-Clubs} river, Daher called a bet of 125,000 by Schillhabel, who briefly showed what appeared to be a seven-trey suited.

Daher had that beat with {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and jumped up to a million in chips.

Sam Greenwood Eliminated

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

Ryan Riess opened under the gun for 40,000. Big blind Sam Greenwood shoved and Riess beat him to the pot with his calling chips.

Ryan Riess: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Sam Greenwood: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip to start the hand, but the flop would make Riess the heavy favorite: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn was a blank and the {9-Spades} on the river wasn't one of the cards Greenwood was looking for either.

Down to 9 players now, a full redraw is in the works.

Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

Orpen Kisacikoglu open-shoved for his last 176,000 and Albert Daher on the button asked for a count before announcing the call.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Albert Daher: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Kisacikoglu had a sweat on the {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, but the {8-Clubs} turn and {3-Hearts} river blanked to reduce the field to the last 10 hopefuls.

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau

It folded to Rocco Palumbo in the small blind and he shoved all in. Big blind Mikalai Vaskaboinikau thought about it for a bit, and called right when his time was up.

Rocco Palumbo: {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Palumbo moved over 136,000 of his chips.

Mateos Rising; Vaskaboinikau Doubles

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised from under the gun and found a caller in Albert Daher on the button. Picking up the action on the {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} turn, Mateos checked and called a bet og 68,000 by Daher. The {A-Hearts} on the river was checked and Mateos was first to show, rolling over the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} as winning hand.

Over on the other table, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau shoved for his last 67,000 in the small blind with the {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Sam Greenwood called in the big blind with {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. The board came {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Vaskaboinikau doubled.

Daniel Dvoress: {10-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Bartlomiej Machon: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, doing nothing for Dvoress. Machon is up to almost 700,000.
