Eldabach Scores Huge Double; Lyubovetskiy Departs

Level 32 : 35,000/70,000, 0 ante

Dorel "DorelEl" Eldabach raised to 168,000 and then called a three-bet for the size of the pot worth 609,000 total by Andriy "smbcall911" Lyubovetskiy on the button. Eldabach check-called a bet of 280,000 on the {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop and check-called all-in for over a million on the {q-Diamonds} turn.

Andriy "smbcall911" Lyubovetskiy: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Dorel "DorelEl" Eldabach: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Hearts} river was meaningless as Eldabach won the four million chip pot.

One hand later, Lyubovetskiy was all-in and picked up two callers in Eldabach and Jens "Tankanza" Lakemeier. The active players checked down the {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} board. Lyubovetskiy tabled {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}, Eldabach held {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Lakemeier had rivered the best hand with {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Christian Rudolph Eliminated

Blaaz "Sc4rm4k3r" Azerjav raised to 126,000 and was called by Christian Rudolph on the button and "NeatDad1971" in the big blind. The trio checked through a {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop and "NeatDad1971" bet the {j-Clubs} turn for 195,840, which only Rudolph called.

On the {5-Clubs} river, "NeatDad1971" check-called the shove of Rudolph for 659,252 with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts} for jacks and fives which was good. Rudolph had bluffed with {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for the busted nut flushdraw.

Varnell Busts to Madan

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Madan doubles through Varnell
Madan doubles through Varnell

Craig "Goblue" Varnell bet the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and then bet the pot for more than half a million on the {a-Clubs} turn, which prompted the all-in call of Naman "pokermafiaa" Madan.

Madan tabled {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a full house and Varnell had some outs with {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. However, the {10-Hearts} river was a blank.

Varnell doubled his last two and a half blinds through Madan before then getting it in again preflop.

Craig "Goblue" Varnell: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Naman "pokermafiaa" Madan: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} board left Varnell drawing dead on the turn and he had to settle for 18th place.

Antonius Eliminated by Lakemeier

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Jens "Tankanza" Lakemeier and Patrik "Magicpsilo" Antonius were separated by a fraction of a big blind and they got their chips in with Antonius as the player at risk but holding the best of it.

Patrik "Magicpsilo" Antonius: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Jens "Tankanza" Lakemeier: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}

On a board of {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Spades}, Lakemeier got there with running cards for a straight.

Herm Runs Into a Straight Flush

Level 27 : 14,000/28,000, 0 ante

Mark "Beanboozled" Herm raised to 64,724 in middle position and was called by Daniel "RussianBot1" Hindin on the button. Herm bet the {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop for 50,505 and was called to then check-call a bet of 89,912 on the {9-Hearts} turn.

After the {5-Spades} river, Herm check-raised from 214,507 to 429,014 only to see Hindin jam for slightly more than what he had at his disposal. Herm called and was shown the bad news as Hindin tabled {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a straight flush while Herm held {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for jacks full.

"Any2Cantu" was the first to leave empty-handed after a dull period saw no eliminations for several minutes once the action had resumed.

They got it in with the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against Craig "Goblue" Varnell with the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Varnell did it the dramatic way on the {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} runout.

Aki "Seabossss" Vrtanen then followed right after with {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a straight and flush draw on the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop. Daniel "RussianBot1" Hindin had the {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and dodged both draws on the {2-Hearts} turn and {3-Spades} river.

IrishFun eliminated
IrishFun eliminated

"IrishFun" raised the pot from the small blind and picked up a call by chip leader Sami "YrttiDekaani" Kelopuro, who then called a pot-sized bet on the {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop. "IrishFun" bet the pot for 240,000 on the {2-Diamonds} turn and called all-in when Kelopuro min-raised.

"IrishFun": {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Sami "YrttiDekaani" Kelopuro: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}

Kelopuro had the check mark with two pair and the nut flush draw as "IrishFun" was drawing dead even before the {9-Spades} hit on the river.

Wang and Mzareulov on the Rail

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

In a battle of shorter stacks, David "MPEW299" Wang hit the rail when his {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} ended up second best to the {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} of "BetNicer". The {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board gave the player with the UK flag a ten-high straight eventually.

David "Mclovin86" Mzareulov: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Sami "YrttiDekaani" Kelopuro: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Kenneth "Forrest_Li" Edberg raised to 24,500 in the cutoff with 39,460 behind and then called all-in when David "Mclovin86" Mzareulov three-bet in the small blind.

David "Mclovin86" Mzareulov: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}

On a board of {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, the ace on the flop was enough to eliminate Edberg. Since no other player busted on the other tables, the Swede was crowned the bubble boy.
