River Secures the Knockout for Plesuv

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv
Pavel Plesuv

Action folded to Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv on the button, and he moved all in, having both blinds covered easily. The small blind, "PaPi7o92" called all in for their final 3,700,000 and change with {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, and they were flipping against the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} held by Plesuv.

The flop of {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades} missed both players, as did the {6-Diamonds} turn. However, the {10-Spades} completed the board, giving Plesuv a winning pair of tens, and a seven million chip pot to boot.

With that, just four tables remain. A full round of chip counts for all players still remaining will be posted shortly.

'PrettyVinnie" Takes the Chip Lead

Level 30 : 75,000/150,000, 18,500 ante

Action folded all the way around to the small blind, 'PrettyVinnie", and they moved all in, easily having the big blind "Lenst666" covered in the big blind. They would call their final three million and change with {a-Spades}{q-Spades}, and looked to be in good shape to double against the {7-Spades}{6-Spades} of 'PrettyVinnie."

However, the flop came down {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, and just like that, "Lenst666" was left drawing dead to running aces or running queens. A jack on the turn ended the hand, giving 'PrettyVinnie" the bounty, and the overall chip lead, as play nears the final four tables.

"lgburlamaqui" Doubles Holding Pocket Kings

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

"IAmSoSo" raised under the gun to 249,600, a bet that was called by "dtminator." From the small blind, "lgburlamaqui" would three bet it to 1,119,955. "IAmSoSo" would four bet shove, having everyone in the hand covered. "dtminator" got out of the way, but "lgburlamaqui" called off their final six million and change with {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

"IAmSoSo" showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and the flop of {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} didn't provide much help. However, the {q-Hearts} turn gave the big stack a royal flush draw. The {5-Clubs} completed the board though, and a massive double up was sent over to "lgburlamaqui."

"IAmSoSo" Gets a Bounty

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Short stack "Eduardnho11" moved all in for just over a million chips from the cutoff, and on the button, "IAmSoSo" called to put them at risk holding {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. They were dominating the {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of "Eduardnho11", and the hand was all but over after the flop came down {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}.

A three on the turn secured the hand, and the bounty, for "IAmSoSo."

Gusma Doubles Through "TonyGPT"

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

"TonyGPT" raised to 200,000 on the button, and in the small blind, Pedro "gusmaa" Gusma moved all in for over 2.5 million. "TonyGPT" put them at risk holding {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, but they were dominated by the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} of Gusma.

The board ran down {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}, and the Ace-King was good enough to send Gusma a nice double up.
