Kotowicz Eliminated After Huge Cooler

Frank Visser

Level 28 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sebastian Kotowicz in early position was three-bet preflop by Christian Andronico in the cutoff. Kotowicz then four-bet jammed for 2,095,000 and was snap-called by Andronico, who had him covered.

Sebastian Kotowicz: A♥K♦ All in
Christian Andronico: A♠A♦

Kotowicz was in dire shape against Andronico's rockets. He required running outs after the 10♥2♠5♥ flop, and the 7♦ turn gave Andronico the checkmark.

The stacks were carefully counted after the 9♣ river, after which Kotwicz said his goodbyes and headed to the payout desk.

Simone Avancini had raised to 80,000 from early position when Alexandre Duraes jammed in his 520,000 chips from the small blind. Avancini mulled it over a bit and then decided to call with the covering stack.

Alexandre Duraes: A♠K♦ All in
Simone Avancini: 2♥2♦

Duraes received no help on the 10♥6♣8♥9♠5♠ board. Avancini's bottom pair held, and he raked in the pot as Duraes went looking for the exit.

Level 28 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The action was caught on a turn of 3♦A♠K♦7♦, where Petre Ionescu, in a pot worth 500,000, checked from the big blind before calling the bet of 265,000 from Manel Montalban under the gun.

Montalban sized up to 750,000 on the J♠ river, about half his stack. Ionescu took some time before putting in the rest, quickly being called by Montalban.

Ionescu tabled Q♦4♦ for the second nuts but was outdone by the A♦9♦ of Montalban, who doubled up with the stones.

Level 27 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kajetan Masiewicz raised his button to 60,000, and Zoran Stojanovic tossed in a call from the small blind.

Masiewicz snap-called, and the cards were tabled.

Kajetan Masiewicz: K♠K♥ All in
Zoran Stojanovic: 7♣5♣

The 6♦ turn provided some more outs for Stojanovic, but the 6♣ river paired the board to grant Masiewicz his double-up.

Francesco Favia had defended his big blind to a raise by Christian Andronico in the hijack. The flop fell J♣5♥Q♣, where Favia check-shoved all-in for 500,000. Andronico snap-called, and the cards went face-up.

Francesco Favia: K♣10♥ All in
Christian Andronico: A♠A♦

Favia's straight draw did not complete on the 6♥8♣ runout, and he was consequently sent to the exit.

Level 27 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Terrance Reid raised to 60,000 in early position and was three-bet to 150,000 by Barnaba Perone in the adjacent seat. Besnik Lalinovci cold-called on the button, after which Reid tossed in calling chips as well.

Perone continued for another 150,000 on the 7♦8♣9♠ flop, with both opponents putting in calls. The 2♣ turn and 7♥ river were checked to showdown, and Reid tabled 8♠6♠ for a pair of eights.

Perone sent his cards to the muck, but Lalinovci tabled J♦J♣ for an overpair to take down the sizable pot.
