12 Remain, Final Table Awaits

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

"Are you going to play ten-handed?"

So asked Ryan Chapman of the tournament director near the end of the previous level. The TD responded with a question of his own.

"Are you?" he asked Chapman. "I hope so!" replied Chapman with a grin.

The TD went on to explain that yes, indeed, after two more eliminations the remaining players will redraw to sit around a single table.

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Ali Lareybi - 12th Place
Ali Lareybi - 12th Place

Joni Jouhkimainen raised to 24,000 in early position, Ali Lareybi defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned {10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Lareybi checked, and Jouhkimaninen bet the pot. Lareybi re-potted, going all in, and the Fin called.

Lareybi: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}
Jouhkimaninen: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The {q-Spades} on the turn gave the Fin Broadway, and he held as the {9-Diamonds} bricked off on the river. Lareybi was eliminated in 12th place, earning $23,010.

Anthony Zinno Eliminated in 11th Place ($23,010)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Anthony Zinno - 11th Place
Anthony Zinno - 11th Place

Anthony Zinno opened for 31,000 from middle position, then Joni Jouhkimainen reraised the pot to 111,000 from the button. The blinds let their hands go, and after about a minute-and-a-half of thought Zinno called, leaving himself about 175,000 behind.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and this time Zinno didn't wait long at all before saying he was all in and Jouhkimainen called right away.

Zinno: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs} — club flush draw
Jouhkimainen: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} — a pair of kings

The turn and river brought two more queens — {Q-Spades} and {Q-Hearts} — and Jouhkimainen improved to a full house as Zinno was knocked out in 11th.

There will be a short pause for a redraw, then the final 10 players will gather around the not-quite-final final table over on the main stage.

Maryska Wins a Massive Pot in First Hand

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Michal Maryska
Michal Maryska

On the first hand at the unofficial final table, Michal Maryska raised to 28,000 in middle position, and Isaac Hagerling called on his direct left. The rest of the players folded, and the flop fell {10-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Maryska led out for 32,000, Hagerling called, and the turn brought the {5-Clubs}. Maryska checked, Hagerling fired out 85,000, and Maryska tanked for well over three minutes before check-raising to 210,000. Hagerling entered the tank for roughly 90 seconds, then called.

The {9-Spades} completed the board, Maryska slid forward 105,000 (roughly half of his stack) and Hagerling called. Maryska showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for the nuts, and Hagerling mucked his hand.

Hagerling Gets Some Back

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Michal Maryska limped in from the small blind, Isaac Hagerling raised to 36,000, and Maryska called.

The flop came {4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Clubs}, Marsyka checked, and Hagerling bet 18,000. Maryska called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}, Maryska checked again, and Hagerling moved all in for less than the pot (108,000). Maryska tanked for around a minute.

"Ace-king no good?" he finally asked Hagerling, who responded with deafening silence.

Maryska shrugged, flashed an ace, then folded.
