Seffer Cracks Ciklamini's Rockets

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

PokerNews caught up with the pot with Erik Seffer at risk for his 20+ big blind stack.

Erik Seffer: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Patrik Ciklamini: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board gave Seffer a flush to crack Ciklamini's rockets.

Rajkovic Ousts Ivalsky

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Martin Ilavsky four-bet jammed for about 450,000 and was called by Adi Rajkovic.

Martin Ilavsky: {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Adi Rajkovic: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Ilavsky was behind and never got ahead of big slick with the {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} running out on the board.

Set of Fives Not Good Enough for Hegele

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Robin Hegele three-bet jammed for 164,000 from the hijack over an opener from early position. Pavol Melichar came in from 165,000 form the big blind with a four-bet. The initial opener folded and players turned over their cards.

Robin Hegele: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Pavol Melichar: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Both players nailed a set on the {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Spades} flop. Hegele was drawing to one out and didn't get any help from either the {8-Hearts} turn or the {3-Diamonds} river to hit the rail just before the break.

No More Finns

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sami Pulliainen
Sami Pulliainen

Sami Pulliainen jammed for about six big blinds and was called by Devid Berlin.

Sami Pulliainen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Devid Berlin: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Pulliainen couldn't double his short stack and instead was out the door after he bricked the {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. Pulliainen was the last hope for a player from Finland to win the Main Event as there are no more players left from the Scandanivian country.

Ilavsky Eliminates Viikman

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kaidar Viikman jammed for about 16 big blinds and was up against Martin Ilavsky in a coinflip situation for his tournament life.

Kaidar Viikman: {9-}{9-}
Martin Ilavsky: {a-}{k-}

It was looking good for Viikman to double after the {j-}{6-}{8-} flop and the {6-} turn. However, the {a-} came raining down on the river to pair up Ivalsky's ace to eliminate Ivalsky.

Level: 18

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Ante: 10,000
