Taylor eliminated by Nemeth

Andy "wiisssppppaa" Taylor was in the big blind and called an additional 16,000 as Andras "probirs" Nemeth had raised from under the gun. They checked the {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop and Taylor check-called a bet of 64,500 on the {k-Diamonds} turn.

After the {q-Spades} river, Taylor check-called all in for 316,513 with {k-Clubs}{5-Spades} for top pair, however, Nemeth had the best of it with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} to earn the bounty prize.

"Kurtkaare" Jams Up the Stack; Boivin Doubles

Level 14 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Second to act, "Kurtkaare" raised and then four-bet jammed when Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson had three-bet the big blind. No call followed and "Kurtkaare" secured the pot.

One hand later, Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin defended his big blind and then jammed it in after the {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} flop, which was called by Preben "prebz" Stokkan.

Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin: {10-Spades}{5-Spades}
Preben "prebz" Stokkan: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The {9-Spades} turn improved Boivin and he held onto the lead on the {a-Clubs} river.

Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian raised to 40,000 from the under-the-gun position and table short stack Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger three-bet to 112,000 in the small blind. Martirosian simply moved all in with the far superior stack and Eibinger called for 513,228 total.

Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

It was a cold deck for the Austrian who found no help on the {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Hearts} board to leave with just $5,000 in bounty prizes.

Big Call By Mateos Rewarded With a Double

Level 15 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
Mateos Doubles Through Mattsson
Mateos Doubles Through Mattsson

Before the blinds had gone up, "Kurtkaare" had doubled through Preben "prebz" Stokkan in a battle of the blinds when their {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} hit a full house on a board of {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Hearts} as Stokkan was reduced to crumbs with the {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

The next big pot on the table featured Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos on the button and Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson in the big blind. Mateos raised to 44,400 and was called to see a flop of {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} on which Mattsson check-called a bet of 60,000.

Mattsson then check-raised the {a-Clubs} turn from 77,979 to 170,044 and Mateos tank-called with 329,910 behind. The shove of Mattsson followed on the {j-Spades} river and again Mateos tanked but eventually called.

Mattsson had to reveal {6-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a bluff and Mateos doubled with {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for third pair.

As first player to act, Andras "probirs" Nemeth min-raised to 40,000 and was called by Rinat "Zapahzamazki" Lyapin on the button as well as Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi in the big blind. Nemeth continued for 47,850 on the {j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop which just Lyapin called.

Another bet of 160,000 and call followed on the {10-Clubs} turn and Nemeth jammed the {q-Hearts} on the river, which Lyapin called for 428,064.

Nemeth tabled {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a runner runner straight and Lyapin was out of chips with {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Mattsson Eliminated by Kurtkaare
Mattsson Eliminated by Kurtkaare

Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson jammed the button with the {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin called for less than that in the small blind with the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. The {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board delivered no upset and Boivin called.

However, the bounty of Mattsson then went to "Kurtkaare" when he called Mattsson's shove for eight blinds the next hand.

Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson: {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
"Kurtkaare": {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

The {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} board left Mattsson drawing dead on the turn and he departed in 18th place.

Huge Double for Martirosian

Level 15 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
Martirosian vs Kanit
Martirosian vs Kanit

The biggest pot of the tournament so far has vaulted Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian into the top spot and the hand itself was very identical to a previous one when he flopped the best of it and was called down all the way.

His latest victim was previous chip leader Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit, who kicked off the action with a raise to 43,200. Martirosian three-bet to 200,000 in the small blind and Kanit came along. The Russian bet the {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} flop for 143,550 and checked the {2-Spades} turn. Kanit fired a bet of 395,825 and check-called the shove of Kanit on the {6-Hearts} river for 1,753,306.

Kanit tabled {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Martirosian won the huge pot with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for aces full.

Kanit tripled up two hands later when he jammed {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Martirosian called, then folded to the shove of Joao "Naza114" Vieira with the {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}. The {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board gave Kanit a straight on the turn and flush on the river.

Stokkan eliminated by Kurtkaare
Stokkan eliminated by Kurtkaare

"Kurtkaare" min-raised and Preben "prebz" Stokkan called from one seat over in the cutoff. A continuation bet on the {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop for 41,075 by "Kurtkaare" resulted in a call and a second barrel for 121,450 was also called on the {5-Clubs} turn.

"Kurtkaare" bet the {8-Clubs} river for 457,550 and Stokkan called all in for just shy of that with {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. It was no good as "Kurtkaare" had {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for kings and fives.
