"Everyone Loves a Chop-Pot!"

Level 15 : 800/1,600, 240 ante

Igor "lechuckpoker" Kurganov raised his button to 4,000 and small blind "bencb789" three-bet to 13,600. Kurganov called in position after Haxton folded his big blind.

Both of them checked the board of {8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and the {Q-Hearts} hit the turn. "bencb789" bet 20,000 into 30,240 and Kurganov called.

"bencb789" checked the {Q-Clubs} on the river and Kurganov checked behind after some time thinking about it. "bencb789" showed {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Kurganov rolled over {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Last Year's Champ Send Home: Tollerene Eliminated by Kurganov

Level 15 : 800/1,600, 240 ante

Action folded to Ben "Ben86" Tollerene who opened to 4,000. Big blind Igor "lechuckpoker" Kurganov called and the two got a flop of {4-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs} to work with. Kurganov check-raised Tollerene's 5,600 continuation-bet to 15,800. Tollerene pushed and Kurganov called to create a 102,608 pot.

Ben "Ben86" Tollerene: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Igor "lechuckpoker" Kurganov: {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn made matters worst for Tollerene and the {7-Clubs} on the river was a blank. Exit for Tollerene, last year's $51,000 Super High Roller champion.

Doubling Each Other Up

Level 14 : 600/1,200, 180 ante

Daniel "Oxota" Dvoress and Christoph "26071985" Vogelsang doubled each other up in back to back hands.

First Dvoress doubled to 34,216 getting it in with {9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} against the {A-Spades}{2-Spades} of Vogelsang. The board ran out {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Dvoress doubled.

The next hand the two of them got it all in before the flop again. Dvoress pushed the button and Vogelsang called all in from the small blind. Dvoress had {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and was out flopped (and turned) by Vogelsang's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} on the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} board.

Kanit's Aces Cracked, Busts

Level 14 : 600/1,200, 180 ante

"bencb789" raised to 2,700 and Kanit flatted in the cutoff. Small blind Tollerene squeezed all in for 34,685 and big blind Bodyakovskiy and initial raiser "bencb789" both folded.

Kanit wasn;t following their example though, he had flatted with aces and not made the call. Tollerene was in trouble with sevens.

Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Ben "Ben86" Tollerene: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The flop ({K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}) and turn ({10-Clubs}) were of no harm to Kanit, but the {7-Diamonds} on the river was. Set for Tollerene, the role of short stack for Kanit.

He was left with 6,539 and busted to "bencb789" not much later. Kanit got it in with ace-five again queen-jack and saw his Swedish opponent make a straight on the river.

One More Double Up

Level 14 : 600/1,200, 180 ante

Under the gun, Thuritz raised to 2,640 and Nikita Bodyakovskiy moved in for 19,560. Big blind Kanit reshoved and Thuritz got out of the way.

Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Nikita "fish2013" Bodyakovskiy: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The flop gave Bodyakovskiy top set: {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The {5-Clubs} on the turn was a blank, and so was the {K-Clubs} on the river. Another double up for Nikita Bodyakovskiy.
