Higgins vs Martirosian
Higgins vs Martirosian

Simon "simon1471" Higgins limped the button and Joao "Naza114" Vieira filled up from the small blind, which then prompted a raise to 70,000 by Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian in the big blind. Higgins stuck around and called a first continuation bet of 54,285 on the {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop.

Martirosian then bet the {3-Clubs} turn for 218,680 and Higgins jammed for 838,331 only to get snap-called.

Simon "simon1471" Higgins: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Higgins needed the case trey for quads but the river was a blank {k-Hearts} to reduce the field to the final 24 contenders.

Schemion Scores Big Double Against Mateos

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Schemion vs Mateos
Schemion vs Mateos

It all kicked off without any major drama as Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos raised to 26,640 and called a three-bet to 115,200 by Ole "wizowizo" Schemion in the small blind. The flop brought {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Schemion continued for 186,000, which then prompted the shove of Mateos and the all-in call of Schemion for 741,713 total.

Ole "wizowizo" Schemion: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Even after the {k-Spades} turn, Mateos still had outs to a straight but the {a-Spades} river awarded the pot of more than 1.7 million to Schemion.

Big Doubles for Botteon and Kanit

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante
Botteon vs Boivin
Botteon vs Boivin

Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon raised to 20,000 and Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin three-bet to 95,000 in the big blind. Botteon made it 195,000 to go and called the shove of Boivin.

Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Premium pairs clashed and both flopped a set on {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, the {7-Hearts} turn and {3-Diamonds} river bricked to let Botteon double.

Scott "Aggro Santos" Margereson then raised to 22,000 on the button and "roo_400" three-bet to 95,000 in the small blind. Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit four-bet to 239,852 and was called only by "roo_400". On a {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, "roo_400" then check-shoved and Kanit called all-in for 793,584 to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
"roo_400": {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Neither the {9-Hearts} turn nor the {7-Clubs} river brought an upset and Kanit doubled into the lead.

Pedersen No More; "roo_400" Doubles Through Eibinger

Level 9 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
roo_400 vs Eibinger
roo_400 vs Eibinger

Team Pokercode has suffered two setbacks when Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin knocked out Simon "Igorkarkarof" Pedersen and Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger then doubled "roo_400" in a big pot.

Pedersen failed to hold up with {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} in the big blind as Boivin on the button with the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} got there on a {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs} board.

"roo_400" flat-called a raise to 17,600 while on the button and Eibinger squeezed to 100,000 in the big blind. Scott "Aggro Santos" Margereson called and so did "roo_400". The trio checked the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop and Eibinger check-shoved the {7-Hearts} turn for 758,583 when "roo_400" had bet 104,000.

Margereson folded and "roo_400" called.

"roo_400": {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The {7-Diamonds} river brought no upset as "roo_400" further improved to a full house.

Eibinger vs Chidwick vs Botteon
Eibinger vs Chidwick vs Botteon

Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger opened the action with a button raise to 15,400 and Stephen "stevie444" Chidwick three-bet jammed the small blind for 173,874. Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon simply stuck his stack of 900k in and Eibinger called for 507,980 total.

Stephen "stevie444" Chidwick: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Eibinger nailed a set on the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and that left Chidwick drawing dead. The {q-Spades} turn and {6-Hearts} river brought no change and Eibinger earned the huge pot of nearly 1.2 million.

Triple Knockout for Kurtkaare
Triple Knockout for Kurtkaare

Michel "FreelancerZZ" Dattani raised to 8,920 and "girafganger7" moved all in for the last 15,632 as he was left very short from a previous hand. Sergei "Futti18" Koliakov then jammed the button for 178,552 and "Kurtkaare" reshoved in the small blind for 244,500. Jareth "jareth3542" East called all-in for just shy of that and that forced out Dattani.

Double Knockout for Botteon

Javier "que_te_crio" Fernandez moved all in for just 34,471 and Georgios "Geokarak" Karakousis reshoved for 138,442 from one seat over. Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon isolated by shoving for 276,724 in the hijack and Stephen "stevie444" Chidwick then ripped it in from the small blind with the biggest stack.

Javier "que_te_crio" Fernandez: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Georgios "Geokarak" Karakousis: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Stephen "stevie444" Chidwick: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} flop provided the case ace and Botteon with the worst kicker picked up a flushdraw. The {3-Clubs} turn changed nothing but the {4-Spades} river improved the Brazilian to a flush to secure the double knockout and leave Chidwick short.

From under the gun, Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski raised to 7,200 and Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford three-bet to 21,864 on the button. Back to the Brazilian who jammed for 120,818 and Beresford quickly called.

Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Beresford had the slightly superior stack and flipped to immediately spike a set on {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Dzivielevski needed a queen but found none on the {2-Spades} turn and {3-Diamonds} river.
