Hand #11: Karmatckii Doubles Through Ayras

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Arsenii Karmatckii

Hand #11: Daniel Strelitz raised to 60,000 in early position, Pauli Ayras called on the button and Shannon Shorr called in the small blind. Arsenii Karmatckii was in the big blind and shoved his remaining stack of about 350,000 all in.

Strelitz quickly folded. Pauli asked for a count before reshoved all in, and Shorr instantly folded his hand.

Arsenii Karmatckii: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Pauli Ayras: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

The flop gave Karmatckii immediate relief as it came {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to give him top set. The turn was the {q-Diamonds} to open a Broadway draw but the {3-Clubs} fell harmlessly on the river to keep Karmatckii alive.

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #12: Pauli Ayras shoved all in for 430,000 and picked up the blinds and ante.

Hand #13: Mario Ho limped the small blind in, Daniel Strelitz made it 130,000 in the big blind and Ho folded.

Hand #14: Ognjen Sekularac raised to 75,000 from under the gun and Ali Imsirovic defended his big blind. The {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} saw Imsirovic quickly check-folded to a 65,000 bet.

Hand #15: Strelitz made it 60,000 on the button and Sekularac peeled from the big blind. Sekularac check-called 100,000 on the {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. The turn brought the {5-Hearts} and Strelitz bet what appeared to be around 350,000. With a hint of frustration, Sekularac quickly winged his cards in the muck.

Hand #16: Ho raised to 65,000 from the hijack, Strelitz made it 200,000 in the cutoff and Ho folded.

Hand #17: Ali Imsirovic raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and Ognjen Sekularac called on the button. Pauli Ayras shoved all in from the big blind for his remaining stack of close to 500,000. He got a quick call from Imsirovic and Sekularac folded.

Pauli Ayras: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Ali Imsirovic: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board would use every jack in the deck as it ran out {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} to confirm the Finn's elimination in 8th place.

Hand #18: Ognjen Sekularac raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and Shannon Shorr called in the big blind. They both checked through the {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Spades} on the flop to the {8-Clubs} on the turn. Shorr check-called the 60,000 bet of Sekularac to see the {k-Spades} complete the board on the river. Shorr checked again and now Sekularac barreled a bet of 125,000 over the line which Shorr called without much hesitation. Sekularac tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} which were beaten by the {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts} of Shorr who had two pair to pick up the pot.

Hand #19: Shorr raised to 120,000 from the small blind and that was enough to make Arsenii Karmatckii give up his big blind.

Hand #20: Daniel Strelitz raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Maria Ho called in the big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Ho check-called the 100,000 continuation-bet of Strelitz. They both checked through the {8-Clubs} on the turn and the {8-Hearts} on the river. Ho tabled {9-Spades}{4-Spades} for two pair, nines and eights but those couldn't beat the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} of Strelitz who had the higher two pair with tens and eights.

Hand #21: Ali Imsirovic raised to 70,000 from under the gun and that was enough to pick up the blinds and ante.

Hand #22: Shorr raised to 60,000 from the hijack and was called by Imsirovic in the big blind. The flop came {8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, Imsirovic check-folded to Shorr's continuation-bet of 45,000.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, Shorr check-called the 230,000 continuation-bet of Sekularac.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, Strelitz took a few seconds and then decided to announce he was all-in, having Shorr covered. Shorr counted out his own stack worth 1,600,000 and then made the call.
