Ehrenberger Doubles on Konopelko

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Andrei Konopelko opened to 6,000,000 and Rafi Elharar raised on the button. Danny Ehrenberger moved all in from the blinds for around 32,000,000 and Konopelko called while Elharar folded.

With {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} for Ehrenberger versus {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for Konopelko, he was in good shape to double up, which he did after a board {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

Veiga Bombs the River

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Diogo Veiga
Diogo Veiga

In one of the first hands after the redraw, Diogo Veiga saw a flop with Andrei Konopelko. On an {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop, Konopelko check-called 7,000,000 from the bracelet winner before the {k-Diamonds} turn got checked through.

On the {j-Clubs} river, Konopelko bet 16,500,000, Veiga raised what appeared to be small, but Konopelko quickly waved the white flag regardless.

Directly after, Konopelko was in the small blind and bet 6,000,000 on a {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop. Rafi Elharar raised to 17,000,000 and once again, the Belarusian winged his cards into the muck.

Nicholas Chow

Nicholas Chow went all in under-the-gun and was called by Morten Christensen in middle position. The remaining players folded and the players tabled their hands.

Nicholas Chow: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Morten Christensen: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The board of {j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} was a safe one for Chow, who happily scooped the pot.

Fitzgerald Misses Out on Final Two Tables

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Christopher Fitzgerald
Christopher Fitzgerald

Short-stack Christopher Fitzgerald, down to just a little over four big blinds, had been taking his time in the previous hands with the big payjump looming between 19th and 18th place. However, from under the gun with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, he went for it and found a caller in big blind Andrei Konopelko with {a-Spades}{9-Spades}.

Konopelko spiked a fortuitous flop with {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, albeit Fitzgerald was still drawing very live with his nut flush draw and overcard. Neither the {5-Spades} turn nor {4-Spades} river helped him, though, ending his bid in 19th place.

The remaining eighteen players moved to the two outer feature stages in the Thunderdome and did a redraw for the final two tables.

Christensen Gets Value

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Dylan Lask opened to 6,300,000 from the cutoff and Morten Christensen called in the blinds.

The flop fell {2-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} and went check-check. On the turn {a-Hearts}, Christensen check-called a bet for 5,300,000.

The river fell a {8-Clubs} and Christensen fired 17,000,000. "I think King high is good" said Lask before tanking for some time. He eventually called with {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} but only to see {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} in Christensen's hand for a set of eights.

Fashakin's Set Ends Eisen's Deep Run

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Brandon Eisen
Brandon Eisen

Action folded to Brandon Eisen in the cutoff and he shoved all in for his last 16,800,000. Christopher Fitzgerald, on an even shorter stack than Eisen, tank-folded, Femi Fashakin called from the small blind and Adrian Curry folded his big blind,

Brandon Eisen: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Femi Fashakin: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The dealer spread a flop of {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}, which gave Fashakin a set, but the {9-Clubs} turn gave Eisen outs to the nut flush, which didn't come on the {7-Hearts} river and ended his incredible run in this massive tourney.

Solano Runs Queens Into Aces

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Jesse Solano
Jesse Solano

After his previous double up, Solano had a stack worth 66,000,000 when he shoved all in with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Femi Fashakin snap-called with {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} one seat over.

The board brought no miracle to Solano with {3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and he made his way to the exit.

Frei Out Through the Back Door

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Aaron Frei
Aaron Frei

Dylan Lask raised to 6,300,000 in middle position, Aaron Frei three-bet shoved a little over 25,000,000 from the small blind and Lask called after some thought.

Aaron Frei: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Dylan Lask: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop all but ended it on the spot, giving Frei a commanding lead in the hand with a set of deuces. Lask picked up one of his backdoor draws on the {q-Hearts} turn, and when the {9-Hearts} fell on the river, his "let's go baby!" echoed throughout the Amazon room.

Frei, after briefly being stunned by the unfortunate turn of events, then splashed all of his chips across the felt in frustration and made his way out of the tournament area.
