Ladines Wins Three-Way Three-Bet Pot

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bryce Yockey had limped in from under the gun before Anuj [Removed:550] raised to 45,000 in the cutoff. Joshua Ladines then called on the button before Yockey three-bet to 195,000.

Both of his opponents called and a flop of 10♥8♠10♠ was dealt. The action checked to Ladines, who fired a bet of 145,000. Yockey quickly folded and [Removed:550] followed suit after spending one time bank.

A few hands later, [Removed:550] busted Phil Ivey in an unseen hand.

Vieira Leaves Wiszowaty Short

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Joao Vieira opened from under the gun, Philip Wiszowaty three-bet to 66,000 from middle position and Vieira called.

The flop came A♣6♣9♦ and Vieira check-called a 30,000 bet from Wiszowaty.

Vieira check-called another bet from Wiszowaty on the 10♦ turn, this time for 75,000.

Both players checked the Q♦ river. Wiszowaty turned over A♦J♣8♣7♥ for a pair of aces after missing his flush and straight draws. Vieira had made a Broadway straight on the river with K♥K♣J♥9♣ to take the pot while Wiszowaty was left with under ten big blinds.

Drinan Ousted by Gerritse

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Connor Drinan: A♠Q♦J♠8♥ All in
Dirk Gerritse: 10♥9♠8♦3♦

The Q♣ turn improved Drinan to two pair but the 2♦ river gave Gerritse a flush for the knockout.

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Not long ago, Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen was left with a mere ten blinds but doubled these up. Since then, things have gone far better as the Finn chipped up while Ren Lin vanished from his table and re-entered.

In the latest hand, Pärssinen bet the heads-up flop of A♥J♦3♣ for 22,000 out of the small blind. Danny Hannawa called on the button but folded the 6♠ turn when Pärssinen bet another 70,000.

Smith Sends Off Ajez

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Najeem Ajez opened from early position and received calls from Daniel Aharoni in middle position and David Benyamine in the cutoff before Dylan Smith raised to 50,000 from the small blind. Ajez moved all in for around 100,000, Aharoni and Benyamine folded and Smith made the call with a covering stack to put Ajez at risk.

Najeem Ajez: A♣9♦9♠2♣ All in
Dylan Smith: A♦K♠6♦4♦

The board ran out Q♥J♠K♣7♥7♣. Smith's pair of kings were good at showdown and he took the pot while Ajez made his exit from the tournament area.
