Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sergio Aido raised from the hijack to 65,000 and Aliaksei Boika three-bet the cutoff to 160,000. When the action got back to Aido, he shoved all in, and Boika snap-called for his stack of around 700,000.

Aliaksei Boika: A♥K♦ All in
Sergio Aido: Q♥Q♣

Aido improved to a set on the J♦Q♠6♣ flop but there was still hope for Boika as any ten would complete his Broadway draw.

However, no help arrived for Boika on the later streets as neither the 5♠ turn nor K♣ river was the ten that he was looking for, and he was eliminated.

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A large pot was brewing in a hand between Adrian Mateos and Joao Vieira. With about 450,000 in the pot and the flop reading 2♠2♣5♣, Vieira bet 90,000 and Mateos made the call.

The Q♣ turn went check-check, and the river brought the 3♥.

Joao Vieira bet roughly 500,000, leaving 30,000 behind, and Mateos quickly made the call. Mateos showed A♣A♠, while Vieira tabled A♦K♦.

Vieira got his remaining 30,000 in the next hand, but couldn't find a double up and was eliminated.

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Michael Moncek from under the gun had Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff all in and at risk.

Daniel Negreanu: 8♦8♣ All in
Michael Moncek: A♦10♠

Negreanu would need to win a flip to double and survive but could not do so as the board ran out A♣7♥4♠4♣9♣ to pair up Moncek and leave the Canadian superstar hitting the exit short of the money.

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Start of day chipleader Masashi Oya was unable to replicate his dominating performance from Day 1 and found himself all in for his last 585,000 against Martin Kabrhel. Michael Moncek was also all in, though only for 25,000.

Michael Moncek: 10♣9♥ All in
Masashi Oya: A♦K♣ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♠Q♥

Oya had Kabrhel dominated, that is until the flop came 8♥6♠Q♣. Nothing changed for Oya on either the J♦ turn or 3♠ river, though Moncek did make a straight to more than triple up. Despite this, Moncek joined Oya to the rail a few hands later.

Samuel Ju and Roman Hrabec got it all-in preflop, with Hrabec at risk.

Roman Hrabec: A♠J♦ All in
Samuel Ju: A♣K♠

Hrabec pulled ahead on the 7♦6♠J♠ flop, pairing his jack, but the K♦ turn put Ju back in the lead, with a pair of kings. The river brought the 3♣, and Hrabec was sent to the rail.

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Chris Brewer opened from middle position to 80,000 and Brandon Wilson three-bet to 180,000 from the hijack. Sergio Aido then cold four-bet to 385,000 from the cutoff, and Brewer made the fold. Wilson then shoved all in for around 850,000, and Aido snap-called.

Brandon Wilson: K♣K♥ All in
Sergio Aido: A♥A♣

The board brought no surprises as the runout of 10♥3♦3♥5♦8♣ meant Wilson was eliminated.

Wasserson's Aces Crumble to Mateos' Queens

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Eric Wasserson raised to 80,000 from middle position and Adrian Mateos three-bet to 240,000 out of the hijack. When the action got back to Wasserson, he shoved all in for around 1,700,000, and Mateos made the call.

The two players seemed to know what each other had, and while the dealer was waiting for the go-ahead to run the board, Wasserson pushed all of his stack next to that of Mateos'.

"I know it's coming. I'm running so good," remarked Mateos.

Eric Wasserson: A♥A♣ All in
Adrian Mateos: Q♥Q♦

A flop of 9♥K♥K♣ didn't change anything but Mateos' words came true as the Q♠ landed on the turn, which improved him to a full house.

Wasserson needed an ace or a king on the river to stay alive but the J♦ wasn't what he was looking for, which meant he was eliminated in 29th place.
