Schemion and Schindler Eliminated

Level 8 : 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

Ole "wizowizo" Schemion busted his next bullet when he got it in with the {a-Spades}{2-Spades} from the small blind and was called by Christian "eisenhower1" Jeppsson with the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} in the big blind.

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Schemion re-entered soon after.

Soon after, "Kurtkaare" raised to 15,750 and was called by Jeppsson on the button and Jake Schindler in the big blind. Schindler check-shoved the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop for 88,532 and "Kurtkaare" made the call.

Jake Schindler: {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}
"Kurtkaare": {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {4-Clubs} turn and {3-Clubs} river provided no help.

Eibinger Skyrockets Into the Lead

Level 8 : 3,500/7,000, 875 ante
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.

Schindler Doubles Mulder

Level 8 : 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

Jake Schindler raised to 15,000 and called a three-bet to 42,000 by Teun "tinnoemulder" Mulder on the button. Schindler check-raised the {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop to 240,000 and Mulder called all-in for less than that.

Teun "tinnoemulder" Mulder: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Jake Schindler: {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The {2-Clubs} turn gave Schindler some more outs but he bricked the {a-Hearts} river.

A few hands later, the table also featured the double up of Andy "wiisssppppaa" Taylor with {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} against the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} of Christian "eisenhower1" Jeppsson, who missed out on his live cards and a flush draw on the {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades} board.

In a battle of the blinds the raising war between Claas "ssicK_OnE" Segebrecht and Dinesh "NastyMinder" Alt sent all the chips in preflop with Segebrecht at risk and dominated.

Dinesh "NastyMinder" Alt: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

On a board of {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, "Sintoras" was drawing dead on the turn to vault Botteon to an even bigger stack.

Shakerchi Above Half a Million

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

Liviu "0human0" Ignat opened the action with a raise to 13,260 and was called by Dinesh "NastyMinder" Alt and Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi in the big blind. On a flop of {k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} all three players checked and Shakerchi bet the {8-Spades} turn for 20,488, Ignat called and Alt folded.

The {5-Clubs} followed on the river and Shakerchi bet once more, making it 37,698 to go. That proved to be too much for Ignat who surrendered the pot.

Pedes vs Gonzalez
Pedes vs Gonzalez

Within the last three minutes, five players have been eliminated as the stack sizes are swinging back and forth rapidly.

Ole "wizowizo" Schemion was gone on the second bullet while Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker rivered trips jacks with {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} only to see Maxime "Daghemuneguu" Chilaud turn over {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a full house on the {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{j-Hearts} board.

Andres "wisopekeño!" Gonzalez got his chips in with the {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Daris "DEX888" Pedes, who had also re-entered, looked him up out of the small blind with the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. The board brought {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} as Pedes rivered the king.
