Rolle Sends Dvoress and "vino la iubi" Out on the Bubble

Level 21 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel "Oxota" Dvoress jammed for 202,567 from middle position. Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle called from the cutoff. "vino la iubi" put in a little more for their stack of 203,658 and Rolle called this as well

Daniel "Oxota" Dvoress: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
vino la iubi: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Rolle was the only one with a diamond in his hand and this proved to be helpful in nailing a flush on the {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board to eliminate two players on the money bubble.

The final 13 players are in the money for at least a min-cash of $21,412 and the day will end when there are nine players remaining.

Hand-For-Hand After Kovalski Hits the Rail

Level 21 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

"kZhh" opened for 100,000 from early position and was called by Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski from the big blind.

Kovalski check-called for 50,000 on the {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop before check-calling again for 124,780 on the {j-Diamonds} turn. The {6-Clubs} completed the board on the river and Kovalski check-called off his stack of 405,906.

Kovalski had the second nuts with a straight holding {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} but this turned out not to be good enough to stay alive with "kZhh" holding {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for Broadway.

The action went hand-for-hand on the money bubble with 15 players remaining and 13 due at least a min-cash of $21,412.

Nines No Good for Schemion

Level 21 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski opened for 100,000 from the hijack and was called by "kZhh" from the cutoff. Ole "wizowizo" Schemion three-bet shoved 1,558,294. Kovalski folded and "kZhh" called.

Ole "wizowizo" Schemion: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
"kZhh": {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Things went from bad to worse for Schemion as his opponent improved to a set on the {6-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop. Schemion was drawing dead on the {8-Hearts} turn and was eliminated in 17th place after the {7-Diamonds} river completed the board.

Meanwhile, "kZhh" became the first player to pass 3 million chips in this event.

Level 20 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mike "SirWatts" Watson opened for 140,000 from the small blind and was called by Pablo "pabritz" Brito from the big blind.

Watson check-called for 100,000 on the {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop before check-calling again for 252,500 on the {9-Diamonds} turn. The {q-Spades} paired the board on the river and Watson checked again. Brito jammed for 731,726. Watson called and turned over {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for trips. Brito held {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for the straight to double up near the money bubble.

Padilha Ousts Grafton Before the Money

Level 20 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Teun "tinnoemulder" Mulder opened for 88,000 from under the gun and was called by Pedro "PaDiLhA SP" Padilha from the hijack and Mike "SirWatts" Watson from the button before Sam "SamSquid" Grafton three-bet jammed for 315,350. Mulder folded and Padilha four-bet shoved for 2,194,112. Watson folded and the players showed their hands.

Sam "SamSquid" Grafton; {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Pedro "PaDiLhA SP" Padilha: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

It was the end of the line before the money for the PokerStars Ambassador after Grafton failed to connect with the {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board to leave just 17 players left in the field with 13 of them walking away with at least a $21,412 min-cash.

Grafton Doubles Muehloecker into the Lead Before the Break

Level 20 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Sam "SamSquid" Grafton opened for 80,000 from the cutoff. Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker three-bet to 300,000 from the big blind and Grafton called.

Muehloecker bet 130,000 on the {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} flop and called off for 997,716 after Grafton shoved over the top.

Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Sam "SamSquid" Grafton: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

Grafton was unable to get there on either the {4-Clubs} turn and the {6-Hearts} river and he doubled Muehloecker into the chip lead just before the seventh break.

Meanwhile, Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez was ousted in 19h place on another table at the same time when his {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} was no good against the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} held by Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski.

"Darwinsfish" Back on Top

Level 20 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mark "AceSpades11" Radoja opened for 84,000 from the hijack. "Darwinsfish" three-bet to 240,000 from the cutoff and Radoja called.

Radoja check-called for 132,250 the {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and checked the {6-Hearts} turn. "Darwinsfish" bet 480,000 and took the chip lead after Radoja folded.

Level 20 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
