Dzivielevski Wins Race to Double Through Lahmani

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Yuri Dzivielevski
Yuri Dzivielevski

A series of preflop raises saw Yuri Dzivielevski get his 756,000 stack in the middle from the small blind and Oshri Lahmani called from late position.

Yuri Dzivielevski: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Oshri Lahmani: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

It was a classic race that saw Dzivielevski take the lead after the {10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop paired his king but it also gave Lahmani a gutshot straight draw.

Luckily for Dzivielevski, the {9-Spades} paired the board on the turn and the {7-Hearts} river secured his double-up.

Boat Over Boat Busts Gouveia

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

With about 500,000 in the pot and a completed board of {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Elilton Gouveia bet 350,000 in the big blind. Roman Hrabec thought about it and jammed on the button to cover Gouveia, and Gouveia quickly called as the players revealed their hands.

Elilton Gouveia: {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Roman Hrabec: {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Both players had boats as the last two cards brought the last two nines in the deck, to the fortune of Hrabec and misfortune of Gouveia, who is now busted early in the day.

"That's a tough one, huh?" Gouveia said as he made his way to the payout desk.

Song Ends Biles' Main Event Run

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

With his stack under ten big blinds again, Oliver Biles looked down at {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and went for it. Stephen Song looked the former PokerNews host up from the cutoff with {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} to add a gutshot Broadway draw along with the overcards as outs The {7-Hearts} on the turn added a flush draw on top of it, but the {7-Spades} river bricked all of those. Biles' Main Event dream came to an end in 276th place, worth $38,600.

Kaplan Folds a Full House

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Picking up the action on the river on a board of {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades} with around 250,000 in the pot, Patrick Wall led into Matthew Kaplan with a bet of 175,000.

Kaplan responded with a raise to 400,000 and Wall in turn responded by re-raising all-in with his opponent covered.

"This is going to be the second full house I lay down in two days," Kaplan said as he contemplated calling off with his last 560,000. "I'm going to be in the tank for ten minutes, boys."

Kaplan took less time than that before he held up {8-}{8-} and tossed his cards in the muck. Wall did not show.

Joseph Coolers Tang in Level One

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

It only took a couple of preflop raises for Ricky Tang and Jeremy Joseph to get all of their chips in the middle. Tang started the hand with just over 1,000,000 chips and thought he would be in a good position to double up with {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. However, Joseph flipped over {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and Tang was in need of some help.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Joseph held firm with his pocket aces. The {8-Clubs} on the turn and the {4-Hearts} on the river changed nothing and Tang was eliminated in the opening level.

Plante Eliminated by Luo

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Following an open raise to 48,000 by Robert Cowen and two calls, Santiago Plante jammed for around 445,000 in the big blind. He earned two folds but Chang Luo called on the button.

Santiago Plante: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Chang Luo: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

"Good luck," Plante wished to his opponent and Luo spiked top set on the {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop. The {a-Spades} turn gave Plante a flush draw but the miracle never happened on the {8-Hearts} river.

Jacob Millstein moved all-in for 424,000 and was isolated by Aristeidis Moschonas on the button, who went over the top.

Jacob Millstein: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Aristeidis Moschonas: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Datashvili Jams Into Pinto's Rockets

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Philipe Pizzari Pinto raised from late position and then called the three-bet jam Jackob Datashvili made from the small blind.

Jackob Datashvili: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Philipe Pizzari Pinto: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Datashvili held a suited ace but it was well behind Pinto's aces and the {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop didn't change a thing.

The {4-Hearts} turn did keep Datashvili's Main Event hopes alive with a wheel draw but the {5-Spades} fell on the river and ended his tournament.
