Martin and Nguyen Felted Before the Money

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Brandon Nguyen
Brandon Nguyen

Chipped down to 12,500 only, Benjamin Martin got it in preflop and Atanas Pavlov tanked for more than a minute in the big blind before making the call.

Benjamin Martin: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Atanas Pavlov: {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board spelled the end for Martin.

Shortly after, Brandon Nguyen jammed the last 13,500 and Masoud Etemadiherisi reshoved in the blinds.

Brandon Nguyen: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Masoud Etemadiherisi: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts} appeared in the window to promise some hope but that was all crushed on the {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} that followed. It was all over on the {3-Hearts} turn and the {a-Spades} river even gave Etemadiherisi quads.

Alon's Exit Sets Up the Money Bubble

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ido Alon
Ido Alon

Min Ji called a three-bet shove for 43,000 and got there with the {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to knock out a short stack holding the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. The {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board gave Ji the superior pair and the field was down to the final 97 players.

Soon after, a larger battle of the blinds brought the 145,000 of Ido Alon into the middle and he was covered as well as dominated by Alexander Zeligman.

Ido Alon: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Alexander Zeligman: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop brought no equity for the PokerStars staff member and the {k-Spades} turn left him drawing dead, which made the {a-Hearts} river a formality.

Hand-For-Hand Play Underway

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After breaking a table to balance the field across eight-handed tables on the money bubble, the action has commenced in hand-for-hand mode. Unlike in previous years, no set amount of time will be deducted from the clock and there are fewer than ten minutes left in the level.

Ferreira Pais Leads; Slater and Grummitt Win Showdown Pots

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Mauricio Ferreira Pais
Mauricio Ferreira Pais

Mauricio Ferreira Pais is the chip leader on the money bubble and a medium-sized pot unfolded on his table. On an ace-high board, Boris Progner called a bet worth 57,000 by Tim Slater and they knuckled the river. Slater tabled the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} to win the pot with top pair and top kicker, mentioning "you could have something like ace-six" which would have made two pair.

In the meanwhile, Paul Grummitt check-called a bet of 22,000 by Alex Jennings on a completed board of {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and instantly rolled over his {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Jennings had been the last aggressor but mucked as Grummitt won the pot and forfeited the hand information.

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Raul Lozano
Raul Lozano

In the last hand of the level, there was an all-in showdown on the bubble but barely any players had stuck around and already gone on break. Conor O'Driscoll had raised in the cutoff and then called the shove by Raul Lozano on the button for 53,500.

Raul Lozano: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Conor O'Driscoll: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The superior kicker locked up the double on the turn of a {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts} board and Lozano remained in contention.

Poulengeris Eliminated on the Bubble

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Antonis Poulengeris
Antonis Poulengeris

Antoine Saout raised from the hijack and then called the all-in of Antonis Poulengeris in the cutoff for the last 18,000.

Antonis Poulengeris: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Antoine Saout: {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop left Poulengeris in dire shape but the {4-Hearts} turn provided a flush draw. However, the bubble burst on the {a-Spades} river to send all 95 remaining players into the money.

Sidhu Knocks Out Filho

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

It didn't take long for the first players to get their chips in preflop and the first of them was Thales Filho, who was at risk with the {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Kully Sidhu took the flip with the {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and got there on the {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board to eliminate the Brazilian as the first player in the money.
