Eliminations in Quick Succession

Level 11 : 1,750/3,500, 450 ante

Brazil's "obina9" got their stack in preflop from under the gun with the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} and Tomi "elmerixx" Brouk in the big blind called with the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

On a board of {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}, only one jack was not enough to keep "obina9" in contention.

Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker, Daris "DEX888" Pedes and "patapong" were the next to bust and "kimokh" barely lasted a few minutes to depart. They were left short and doubled twice, then ran with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} into the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} of Chris "ImDaNuts" Oliver, who made top set on the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop, the {9-Spades} turn and {9-Clubs} river brought a full house for good measure.

Ustimov Doubles Koliakov; Busts to Plesuv

Level 11 : 1,750/3,500, 450 ante
Astedt vs Pateychuk
Astedt vs Pateychuk

Viktor "papan9_p$" Ustimov defended the big blind against a raise by Sergei "Futti18" Koliakov and check-raised to 18,000 on the {k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop, which Koliakov called. The {q-Clubs} turn was checked by both and Ustimov check-called an all-in for 69,780 on the {8-Spades} river.

Koliakov tabled the {a-Spades}{7-Spades} for the nuts and Ustimov was left with crumbs as he only had {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for the top two pair.

One hand later, Ustimov got it in with {q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} out of the small blind and Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv called with {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} in the big blind.

There was no miracle on the {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} board to send Ustimov to the rail.

Astedt Loses Flip to Pateychuk

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 375 ante
Astedt vs Pateychuk
Astedt vs Pateychuk

Niklas "Lena900" Astedt in-raised to 6,000 from the hijack and Andrey "ThePateychuk" Pateychuk three-bet to 15,600 in the cutoff. Astedt jammed for 64,173 and was called right away.

Niklas "Lena900" Astedt: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Andrey "ThePateychuk" Pateychuk: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop left Astedt in dire shape as he needed running kings or aces to survive. It was all over on the {j-Clubs} turn and the {2-Diamonds} river was a formality.

Beresford doubles Through Greenwood

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 375 ante

Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford was all in before the flop with the {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} in the cutoff and faced the {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} of Lucas "YRWTHMELTHR" Greenwood in the small blind.

On a board of {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, Greenwood almost got there but the aces held up.

Not as fortunate in their final showdown were Bruno "great dant" Volkmann, "milennial" and Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon as they all departed.

Vezhenkov Busts Kelopuro

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 375 ante
Kelopuro vs Vezhenkov
Kelopuro vs Vezhenkov

Not long ago, Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov had doubled through "Sintoras" when his suited connectors rivered a flush against the set of fives of the German.

Vezhenkov then won another big pot when he sent Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro to the rail. Kelopuro defended the big blind and check-raised the {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop from 5,321 to 16,500, which Vezhenkov called. Kelopuro then check-called 16,211 on the {10-Diamonds} turn and check-called the {3-Hearts} river for the last 60,454 with {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for the top pair only to see Vezhenkov table {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for the superior kicker.

Shakerchi Eliminated by "SmilleThHero"

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 375 ante
Shakerchi vs SmilleThHero
Shakerchi vs SmilleThHero

Right before the blinds had gone up, it was Alexandru "steakaddict." Papazian that raised to 5,050 and Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi jammed for the last 61,121 on the button. Out of the small blind, "SmilleThHero" jammed for more than 250,000 and Papazian was forced out.

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
"SmilleThHero": {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The board brought {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} and Shakerchi headed to the rail.

New Entries and a Bustout

Level 9 : 1,250/2,500, 325 ante

Mike "SirWatts" Watson saw his hopes vanish as the Canadian was sent to the rail whereas several new players have entered recently to boost the field up to 68 entries with 48 players still in contention.
