Jeppsson Delivers Revenge with Suck-Out

Frank Visser

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

"Revenge892" was one of the many late entries today and opened to 24,000 from the cutoff. Christian "eisenhower1" Jeppsson sat in the small blind and put out a three-bet to 78,000 before the action folded back to "Revenge892", who put in their stack of 231,400.

Jeppsson made the call and was delivered the bad news.

"Revenge892": Q♠Q♦
Christian "eisenhower1" Jeppsson: 7♦7♣

However, the A♣7♦K♣ flop saw Jeppsson turn his dominated hand into the dominating one, flopping a set to jump into the lead. No queen saved "Revenge892" on the 4♦A♦ runout and he was one of the many eliminations in the early minutes of Day 2.

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira raised to 24,438 from under the gun and the action folded to Alexandre "aminolast" Raymond in the big blind. He then shoved all in, covering Ferreira's 164,832 chips.

Ferreira made the call and the cards went face-up.

Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira: A♦Q♦
Alexandre "aminolast" Raymond: A♣K♦

Some chop outs appeared on the 3♣3♦6♥ flop, but Raymond's king kicker would remain in play on the A♥10♣ runout, sending Ferreira to focus on his other tournaments for the day.

Level 17 : Blinds 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

Laurie "LaliTournier" Tournier raised to 28,000 from under the gun and Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura three-bet all in from the next seat over for 109,500. The action folded back to Tournier, who quickly called with the covering stack.

Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura: A♦Q♥
Laurie "LaliTournier" Tournier: K♠K♦

Tournier needed to fade an ace, and she did just so when the board ran out 2♥9♦4♣6♣8♦, eliminating Moura

Tournier started today as one of the absolute short stacks, but she has managed to chip up to an around-average stack.

Level 17 : Blinds 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis raised to 30,800 on the button, leaving himself only 20,845 chips behind. Pedro "gusmaa" Gusma then put in the rest as well from the big blind and Veldhuis made the call.

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis: J♥7♦
Pedro "gusmaa" Gusma: A♦6♦

The 3♠4♠A♠ flop left Veldhuis with little hope, and the 2♦ turn sealed the deal for the popular PokerStars streamer. He could do nothing but look on as the meaningless 8♦ river completed the board, and was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The action folded to "IamMickeyBr" on the button, and they opened to 36,230 chips. Andras "probirs" Nemeth was in the big blind and opted to defend.

The flop fell 4♦9♦2♠ and Nemeth checked to his opponent, who made a large bet of 72,000. Nemeth responded with a small raise to 160,000, after which "IamMickeyBr" shoved all in for 516,768. Nemeth put in the extra chips as well and the players' holdings were revealed.

"IamMickeyBr": Q♥Q♣
Andras "probirs" Nemeth: K♦9♠

The 8♦ turn gave Nemeth a plethora of additional outs, but it was one of his original ones that came on the K♣ river, upgrading him to two pair and eliminating his opponent.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot made the minimum raise to 40,000 from early position and the action folded to Tom "7tHEcROw7" MacDonald in the big blind, who defended. The flop then fell 10♦10♥6♣ and Proudfoot made a continuation-bet of 24,200 after a check from MacDonald.

The latter then responded with a raise to 80,000 chips and Proudflop called. On the K♣ turn, MacDonald fired another 130,000 into the pot and once again Proudfoot called.

MacDonald then shipped all in for 338,536 on the 7♣ river and Proudfoot responded with a snap call. MacDonald showed A♣10♣ for the ace-high flush, but Proudfoot had the best of it with his K♠10♠ for a turned full house.

MacDonald entered Day 2 as second in chips, but had to leave before the money is in sight. Meanwhile, Proudfoot plays almost three million chips and has a comfortable spot on the leaderboard.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

"Eleres88" open-raised to 40,000 chips from under the gun before Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams made it 123,000 to go from the hijack. The rest of the table folded, but "Eleres88" four-bet jammed, covering Adams' stack of roughly 850,000 chips. Adams wasted no time in calling and the pair showed down.

Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams: A♦K♠
"Eleres88": Q♥Q♦

Adams paired his ace on the A♣J♠10♥ flop, but the detrimental K♣ turn gave "Eleres88" a straight. No chop or full house arrived for Adams on the 10♦ river and he was sent home while his opponent gathered a big stack.

Level 20 : Blinds 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

"Eleres88" made a raise to 50,000 from under the gun and Ole "wizowizo" Schemion three-bet all-in for 249,162 from middle position. The action folded back to "Eleres88", who made the call.

Ole "wizowizo" Schemion: 10♠10♣
"Eleres88": A♥10♦

All seemed well for Schemion on the 3♥4♠2♣7♠ board, but the 5♥ river made "Eleres88" the lowest possible straight, beating out the pair of Schemion, eliminating the German in brutal fashion.

Frank Visser

Level 20 : Blinds 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

"Renatbog97" played less than 20 big blinds when they raised to 50,000 from early position. Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv sat in the small blind and three-bet shoved, covering "Renatbog97" as well as "I Attack95" in the big blind, who played 20 big blinds as well.

"I Attack95" then called and "Renatbog97" quickly followed suit for a rare three-way all-in.

"Renatbog97": K♠K♣
"I Attack95": 9♦9♣
Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv: A♥J♠

"Renatbog97" flopped a set on 10♣K♥J♣, and the 4♣ on the turn was no threat for them either. The A♦ river did not change anything and "Renatbog97" won the lion's share of the pot, tripling them up, while Plesuv raked in the almost insignificant side pot.

Renatbog97	1,220,342 155,937	155,937
