Thomas Muehloecker

Bartlomiej Machon called a bet of 50,000 by Daniel Dvoress in the big blind with the completed board showing {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and mucked when Davoress showed {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for trips aces.

It was Muehloecker that shoved from under the gun for his last 126,000 and Machon called out of the big blind.

Thomas Muehloecker: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Bartlomiej Machon: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel opened the cutoff for 25,000 and saw big blind Bartlomiej Machon shove all in. We're unsure how much Thorel called for exactly, but he did so quickly.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Bartlomiej Machon: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Spades}{5-Spades} and Thorel hit the rail. With his departure, the tournament is down to 16 players and a full redraw is in progress.

Machon Doubles; Luca Doesn't

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ivan Luca
Ivan Luca

While Ivan Luca was unable to spin up his last three big blinds as soon as the blinds went up, Bartlomiej Machon was more successful in his all in showdown against Thomas Muehloecker. Both went at it in a battle small blind (Muehloecker) versus big blind (Machon), and it was a flip for the Polish player to remain in contention.

Bartlomiej Machon: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Thomas Muehloecker: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The Austrian flopped well on {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, but the {9-Clubs} turn and {8-Spades} river gave Machon a straight and the double up for 234,000.

Luo Eliminates Kho

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Kitson Kho
Kitson Kho

From early position, Xiaoyang Luo opened for 17,000. Kitson Kho shoved for 57,000 from the cutoff and Luo called.

Xiaoyang Luo: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Kitson Kho: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

Kho flopped top set on {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} but it would not be enough. The {3-Hearts} on the turn did nothing but the {8-Diamonds} on the river gifted Luo the flush and Kho was done for.
