Manganas Among the Early Casualties

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Aleko Managanas lost his stack with ace-queen on an ace-high board as Gareth Kalil flopped a set of fives. The same table then brought more action early on.

Four ways to the A♦K♥Q♦8♣ turn, Merwan Corront bet 26,000 and Danny Dayani then raised to 75,000 with 93,000 behind. He forced two folds and Corront used two time bank extensions before folding.

Cliton Taliwanth has also been eliminated as the field dropped to 67 players.

Over on the live stream table, Joe Rahme was all-in for the last 32,00 with the 10♥9♥ and Nick Sissou looked him up with the 8♠8♣. The 6♥5♥3♣2♣9♦ board provided the nine on the river for the double of the shortest stack in the field.

No Cash for Elizabeth

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Shannon Elizabeth was spotted on her way out of the tournament area and she waved goodbye to several friends while Samuel Tebege raked in the chips.

According to Elizabeth, she four-bet jammed a stack of around 100,000 against the open raise of Marko Nortje and the three-bet to 25,000 by Tebege. The latter called with Q♠Q♣ and Elizabeth flipped with her A♣K♣. The Q♥J♥9♣J♠9♥ board left Elizabeth drawing dead on the turn.

Anand Kumar on the button and Benjamin Lingenfelder haded to the Q♣8♦6♥ flop on which Lingenfelder check-called a bet of 35,000 by Kumar. The 5♦ followed on the turn and Kumar's bet of 50,000 took it down.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alexi Alexandrou headed out of the tournament area and Benjamin Dingenfelder claimed his chips. It was a classic confrontation in a three-bet pot when a paired king-high board got the chips into the middle. Alexandrou's J♦J♣ were trailing versus Q♠Q♥ and there was no upset in the cards.

SM continued his aggressive approach and jammed into David Ng, who went nowhere but called all-in for 136,000 total.

David Ng: A♥K♥ All in
SM: A♠3♦

The superior kicker held on the 9♠9♣5♦7♥4♠ runout and Ng doubled.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joseph Stegers raised to 10,000 from middle position and Anand Kumar called on the button. Mathew Ord-Hume then jammed for the last 37,000 in the small blind to pick up two calls. The 7♣7♠5♠ flop was checked and Stegers check-folded the 10♠ turn when Kumar bet 30,000.

Mathew Ord-Hume: K♣J♥ All in
Anand Kumar: Q♦10♣

The river was a blank 3♥ and that spelled the end for Ord-Hume outside of the money.

Joseph Stegers locked horns with Jody Van Wyk preflop when he was all-in for around 130,000.

Joseph Stegers: 9♦9♥ All in
Jody Van Wyk: A♣A♥

There was no help on the 8♥4♣3♠J♥Q♥ runout and that spelled the end for Stegers on the final seven tables.

Ioannoy Eliminated by Nortje

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Marko Nortje and Samuel Tebege tangled not long ago when the former bet the A♥J♠8♠Q♥ turn for 48,000. Tebege raised to 96,000 and Nortje reluctantly folded.

Nortje then raised to 13,000 first to act and Nic Ioannoy pushed all-in from two seats over for 130,000. All other players folded and Nortje called after very brief consideration.

Nic Ioannoy: K♣9♣ All in
Marko Nortje: A♦Q♣

The 7♣4♦2♣ flop was a sweat but no further club arrived with the 4♥ turn or 10♦ river.
