"HUMZIE" Busts "xpf1"

Level 5 : 200/400, 40 ante
xpf1 eliminated by HUMZIE
xpf1 eliminated by HUMZIE

Canada's "HUMZIE" opened to 1,200 and was called by Luan "WaitANDplay" Hertmann, which then led to a three-bet to 5,000 by "xpf1" in the cutoff. "HUMZIE" was the only caller and opted to check-call the {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop for 6,080. They check-called for another 8,026 on the {a-Hearts} turn and jammed the {8-Hearts} river for 61,398.

"xpf1" only had 30,797 behind and reluctantly called with the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for top pair, which was no good as the {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} of "HUMZIE" had made a straight.

Level 5 : 200/400, 40 ante
Linglang eliminated
Linglang eliminated

Germany's "Linglang" got their last 9,524 in from the hijack via open-jam and they were isolated by Daniel "CASTILIAN" Tafur on the button, who moved all-in over the top.

"Linglang": {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Daniel "CASTILIAN" Tafur: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop further increased the lead of Tafur and he locked it up on the {a-Hearts} turn. The {q-Clubs} river even brought a full house for the Spaniard, who remains below the starting dtack.

In one of the last hands prior to the scheduled break, "HUMZIE" opened to 2,000 and Oyvind "Farsfigur" Sundseth three-bet to 6,056 in the hijack, which "HUMZIE" called. The flop brought {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts} and that's when the action escalated. "HUMZIE" check-raised from 6,124 to 25,294 and Sundseth jammed for the 107,948 he had behind.

A quick call by "HUMZIE" followed to result in the following showdown.

Oyvind "Farsfigur" Sundseth: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
"HUMZIE": {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {k-Spades} on the turn provided some hope but the {10-Spades} river was of no help for Sundseth, who exited in spectacular fashion.

A Double and a Bustout

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante
Kilpatrick eliminated
Kilpatrick eliminated

At nearly the same time, the UK's Stewart "Stew_233" Kilpatrick was sent to the rail while high stakes player Wiktor Malinowski took a hit to the stack at a different table.

Kilpatrick got it in with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} via three-bet jam for the 10,702 he had behind and was called by the initial raiser "RZStudio78".

Stewart "Stew_233" Kilpatrick: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
"RZStudio78": {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

On a board of {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} the kings were cracked on the river to eliminate Kilpatrick.

Malinowski cold four-bet to 13,725 out of the small blind and cutoff three-bettor "macc23" jammed for 40,449 to get called by Malinoski.

"macc23": {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Wiktor Malinowski: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and the top set of "macc23" had the checkmark on the turn already.
