Brewer and Jorstad Among Latest Casualties

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Chris Brewer was last spotted with a stack of just 11 blinds and those have since vanished. On his former table, there was another short stack all in when Espen Jorstad jammed into Jason Koon and was instantly called.

Espen Jorstad: 2♠2♣ All in
Jason Koon: K♠K♥

The mighty ducks found no help on the J♥10♣10♠A♦3♥ runout and that spelled the end for Jorstad as well.

Level 9 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Moncek opened to 65,000 from the cutoff and Bryn Kenney called from the small blind.

Kenney check-called for 65,000 on the J♠6♣4♠ flop, before the 6♦ turn checked through to the 3♠ river. Kenney bet 300,000 into a pot of 320,000 and then went deep into the tank as Moncek moved all in for 1,520,000.

Kenney, who slightly covered Moncek, used three time banks and then put his stack into the middle.

Moncek had air with his A♠10♥. Kenney tabled his 8♠7♠, which was good for a flush and the bust out.

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 60,000 from the hijack, Barak Wisbrod called in the cutoff and Dan Smith defended in the big blind.

The action checked to Wisbrod, who took the lead for 90,000 on the A♠J♥7♦ flop. Smith called and Badziakouski elected to check-raise, making it 275,000 to go. Wisbrod snap-folded and Smith thought a little longer on his decision before also choosing to pitch his cards into the muck.

Martin Kabrhel opened to 65,000 in the hijack and Chris Hunichen then three-bet to 175,000 in the next seat. It folded back to Kabrhel and he asked, "you have money for the reentry?"

Hunichen smirked and instantly replied, "I got money for everything, baby."

A few seconds passed and Kabrhel came back with a, "maybe it is already gone," before he tossed in calling chips.

The A♣Q♥4♣ flop was checked by Kabrhel and Hunichen took down the pot with a bet of 125,000.

Level 9 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Henrik Hecklen opened to 65,000 from early position and was called by Michael Moncek and Sam Soverel from the cutoff and button.

Hecklen checked on the J♥9♦5♣ flop, prompting Moncek to lead out for 120,000. Soverel called before Hecklen folded.

Moncek sized up to 240,000 on the J♠ turn. Soverel stuck around for another street.

The 2♦ river completed the board, and Moncek fired a triple barrel of 305,000. Soverel thought it over for around 15 seconds and made the one-chip call.

Moncek was bluffing with 10♦7♦, and Soverel took the pot with his 5♠4♠, which was good for jacks and fives.

As the hand played out, Matthias Eibinger opted to use his single reentry after busting late on in Day 1.

Level 9 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Without any betting action on the three-way turn of Q♣6♦5♣7♣, Aleksejs Ponakovs bet the Q♥ river for 315,000 in the small blind. Chance Kornuth folded from the big blind and Seth Davies used one time bank extension in the cutoff before he called.

Ponakovs showed K♦4♦ for a missed straight draw and Davies won the pot with the 8♥8♣.
