Smiljkovic Flushed Out by Blom

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Viktor Blom raised from under the gun to 60,000 and Daniel Smiljkovic called out of the big blind.

On the 7♣9♠6♣ flop, Smiljkovic check-called a bet of 50,000 from Blom.

An 8♠ came on the turn where Smiljkovic led out for 45,000, Blom raised, and Smiljkovic shoved for around 400,000 total. Blom called.

Daniel Smiljkovic: 10♠6♥ All in
Viktor Blom: A♣5♣

Blom needed a club to beat Smiljkovic's straight and found it as the J♣ completed his flush, which ultimately sent Smiljkovic to the rail.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Viktor Blom opened from under the gun to 50,000 and Bruno Volkmann shoved from the hijack for 410,000. Eric Baldwin then shoved for just over 1,000,000 from the cutoff, which got the rest of the table, including Blom, to fold.

Bruno Volkmann: K♣J♣ All in
Eric Baldwin: K♠K♥

Volkmann didn't get any help from the 5♥10♦7♥4♦4♣ which meant he was eliminated.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Nick Palma in the big blind was involved in a hand with Alexander Queen from under the gun.

With the board reading A♠8♦8♠8♥2♠ and around 275,000 in the pot Palma checked. Queen bet 75,000 before calling a raise to 150,000 from Palma.

The A♥ river put a full house on the board and saw Palma bet enough to force his opponent all in. After only a moment's hesitation, Queen called off for his remaining 225,000 holding A♣3♣ for the high boat but was felled by Palma's 9♠8♣ for quads to bring the tournament down to the final four tables.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Daniel Smiljovic raised from the hijack to 50,000 and Chris Dowling three-bet the cutoff to 135,000. Once the action got back to Smiljkovic, he called.

The flop came J♥10♥8♦ which went check-check to the 9♠ turn. Smiljkovic bet 150,000, and Dowling called.

On the A♠ river, Smiljkovic shoved and Dowling snap-called.

Smiljkovic tabled K♥Q♦ for the nut straight, and Dowling showed A♣Q♠ for a lower straight. Once the stacks were counted down, it was realized that Smiljkovic had slightly more, so Dowling was eliminated.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Toby Joyce shoved from under the gun for 350,000 and Andrew Moreno called from the next seat.

Toby Joyce: A♥5♥ All in
Andrew Moreno: A♠K♥

Joyce paired his five on the 5♠10♠J♥9♣6♠ runout which earned him a double-up, and left Moreno short-stacked.

In the very next hand, Moreno shoved from under the gun with his short stack and Joyce called from the big blind. Moreno couldn't find a way to win the hand which meant he was eliminated in the early moments of the day.
