Vieira Eliminated by Blom

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Joao Vieira raised and Viktor Blom called. As they headed to the 9♣5♦2♦ flop, Vieira bet 280,000 and Blom moved all-in for Vieira to call with both players holding near even stacks.

Joao Vieira: A♠K♣6♥5♣ All in
Viktor Blom: J♦10♠9♦4♠

The 3♠ turn kept Vieira with some hope but Blom improved to a flush on the 8♦ river. Both stack sizes were counted and the 630,000 by Vieira were covered by one blind only.

Shortly after the final five tables were reached, Phil Ivey was eliminated to reduce the field to the last 39 hopefuls.

Ben Lamb: A♠Q♥7♠7♦

Krentzman hit a set on the K♦8♦J♦ board, leading to Lamb asking the dealer for a ten to make his straight.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Joshua Ladines opened the action with a raise to 110,000 in the hijack and Eelis Pärssinen bet the pot on the button for 390,000, which Ladines called.

The flop came 8♣7♣4♠ and Ladines bet the pot, Pärssinen instantly called all-in for around 700,000.

Eelis Pärssinen: A♣9♣8♠7♠ All in
Joshua Ladines: A♠Q♣6♠4♣

Ladies had inferior clubs but superior spades and a gutshot, the latter of which got there with the 5♦ turn. Suddenly, Pärssinen was trailing and could not catch up anymore on the J♦ river.

Player	Chips	Progress
Joshua Ladines	4,000,000 1,275,000	1,275,000

Matthew Wantman: A♥A♣8♥3♠ All in
David Benyamine: Q♥J♣8♣7♦

Benyamine had outflopped the aces and remained ahead throughout the 8♦ turn and 2♥ river.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Christopher Frank in the big blind three-bet the pot and was called by Bogdan Capitan in an early position as well as Shahar Levi on the button. They headed to the 6♥4♥2♣ flop on which Frank announced a pot-sized bet, which was for 1,290,000 total.

Capitan gave it brief consideration and moved all-in for around 1,600,000 and Levi folded.

Bogdan Capitan: A♥Q♠J♥10♠ All in
Christopher Frank: A♣A♦J♣4♦

Capitan needed hearts or running cards to survive, but the 8♣ turn as well as 5♠ river were both blanks. Frank fist-pumped the victory and then stacked the chips with shaking hands.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The field is already down to the last six tables after frantic opening two hours and the latest players to fall included Tom-Aksel Bedell and Charlie Hook.

Bedell was all-in after the J♣10♥8♣ flop against Bryce Yockey with the A♠K♣J♠6♦ for top pair and a gutshot while Yockey had the K♦K♠Q♠8♦ for the overpair.

The 7♠ turn and 4♣ river were both blanks.

Soon after, Hook was all-in prior to the 8♣6♠5♣ flop and awaited his fate while Yockey and Jim Collopy checked to the 4♠ turn. Yockey bet 150,000 and Collopy called to see the 9♠ on the river.

Yockey used a time bank to check, and Collopy used a time bank to then bet 375,000. No call by Yockey followed and Collopy tabled the A♠J♠10♣9♣ for the nut flush in spades to send the next opponent to the rail from Table 142. Hook exposed his A♦Q♥10♦7♥ briefly and their table broke right after as the field was reduced to the last 48 hopefuls.

Shahar Levi	3,400,000 1,800,000	1,800,000

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel put Eric Kurtzman all in on a completed board of 2♥6♠2♣9♦4♣. Kurtzman called off for his remaining 150,000 or so chips and Kabrhel tabled K♣K♦Q♠2♦ for trip deuces.

Kurtzman added his cards to the muck and swiftly left the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Jesse Lonis got his final few blinds in against Dirk Gerritse and lost the encounter to be eliminated.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action was picked up as Kilian Loeffler's cards were swept away on a board of J♠7♥6♦7♠K♠.

He had gone all in for his final chips before the river and had been looked up by Danny Tang. Tang had tabled K♥K♣J♥6♣ and made a full house on the river to eliminate Loeffler.

On another table, Daniel Negreanu was eliminated from the tournament, after which he happily obliged to take a picture with a fan.
