Ostrowski Runs Out of Chips

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Over on the feature table, the action folded to Anders Ostrowski who shoved all in for 120,000 on the button. Matthew Ireland re-shoved all in from the small blind and the two players tabled their cards.

Matthew Ireland: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Anders Ostrowski: {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The flop came {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and things were not looking good for Ostrowski. The {k-Spades} on the turn paired up Ireland and Ostrowski was drawing dead to the {a-Spades} on the river.

Kaarstad Gets Some Back

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Petter Kaarstad shipped all in for 132,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Christopher Heidelbacher in the big blind. After confirming the count, Heidelbacher made the call.

Petter Kaarstad: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Christopher Heidelbacher: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The flop of {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} put Kaarstad in a comfortable lead with two pair. The {2-Spades} on the turn and the {5-Hearts} on the river changed nothing and he earned some of his chips back.

Cooler for Messina

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Renato Messina
Renato Messina

After a couple of preflop raises, the two Italians remaining in the field had all of their chips in the middle. Renato Messina was the player at risk for 210,000 but ran into a monster hand from Luca Beretta.

Luca Beretta: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Renato Messina: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Messina was looking for one of two queens in order to stay alive but the board of {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} did him no favors.

Ojala Hits the River Harder

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Alan Carr opened to 22,000 in middle position and Toni Ojala pushed all in for 84,000 in the hijack. The action folded back to Carr who quickly made the call.

Toni Ojala: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Alan Carr: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Ojala was still out front with his pair of kings. The {7-Spades} paired the board on the turn and the {k-Clubs} hit the river. Carr made a straight but Ojala had a full house in order to double up.

The remaining 25 players are heading on another 20-minute break. The tournament director has advised that play will conclude at the end of level 22 or when the final table of nine players is reached, whichever comes first.

Big Double Up for Carr

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Tonio Roeder was just riding a high after he eliminated Angelo Tarallo in 27th place, and he was looking for another victim.

Alan Carr: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Tonio Roeder: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Roeder was looking to catch one of two remaining fours in the deck but it wasn't meant to be on the {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} board.

Sesay and Simpson Creating a Rivalry

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sulaiman Sesay
Sulaiman Sesay

Ever since the players returned from dinner break, Ian Simpson and Sulaiman Sesay have been playing pot after pot with each other. Simpson has gotten the better of Sesay over the past hour but Sesay was determined to turn things around.

With around 200,000 in the middle already, the board read {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Sesay checked from the cutoff and Simpson slung in a bet of 135,000 on the button. Sesay contemplated his decision for a couple of minutes before shipping all in for around 400,000 total. Simpson quickly folded and Sesay raked in the pot.
