Kisacikoglu Spikes a Seven to Eliminate Sturm

Brett Slezak

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

It folded to Leon Sturm in the small blind who jammed for 450,000. Orpen Kisacikoglu in the big blind thought it over for 20 seconds before he tossed in a chip to call.

Leon Sturm: J♠10♦ All in
Orpen Kisacikoglu: J♥7♦

Sturm was in good shape with the dominating hand until the 7♣ window card was followed by K♣6♣. Neither player held a club as the board ran out 8♥A♣ and Kisacikoglu flipped the script to send the young German phenom to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened from early position and was called by Thomas Boivin on the button, Alfred Decarolis in the small blind, and David Peters in the big blind.

On the K♣10♥3♥ flop, the action checked to Boivin who bet 200,000 and only Decarolis called from the small blind.

The K♦ turn checked through to the 5♥ river which saw Decarolis lead for 600,000. Boivin jammed as the covering stack, and Decarolis snap-called for 1,725,000 total.

Alfred Decarolis: J♥9♥ All in
Thomas Boivin: 10♦10♣

It was the worst river for Decarolis as he made his flush which was no good against the turned full house of Boivin who collected the remainder of Decarolis' chips.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jonathan Jaffe opened to 125,000 in early position and Martin Kabrhel called on the button and warned Jaffe not to do anything stupid.

Jaffe bet 100,000 on the Q♣K♥A♣ flop and Kabrhel called. Jaffe then checked on the J♦ turn and Kabrhel asked the dealer to spread the small pot before screaming a bet of 265,000. Jaffe called.

The river brought the 3♥ as the dealer accidentally exposed the 10♦ from the deck. Jaffe checked and Kabrhel checked back before Jaffe turned over 10♣8♣ to win the pot with Broadway.

"NOT LIKE THAT!" Kabrhel cried for the hundreth time today, this time on the other end of things.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jason Koon opened to 135,000 in early position and Ben Heath jammed all in for 695,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Koon who picked up his cards and then called.

Ben Heath: A♦Q♣ All in
Jason Koon: A♣J♥

The flop came 9♣8♦2♠ and Heath still held his dominating lead. The K♦ on the turn changed nothing and the A♠ on the river gave both players a pair of aces but Heath had the better kicker for a double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ben Heath	1,550,000 850,000	850,000

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

[Removed:607] made it 120,000 from the hijack and Mikita Badziakouski called out of the big blind.

After Badziakouski checked the 6♠5♣2♣ flop, [Removed:608] bet 135,000 with around 400,000 behind. Badziakouski jammed to put Muller all in, and [Removed:608] called.

[Removed:607]: K♦K♥ All in
Mikita Badziakouski: 3♠3♥

[Removed:608] was ahead with Cowboys and just had to fade a trey or a four to double. The 3♣ turn improved Badziakouski to a set and left [Removed:608] on the verge of elimination. The 10♣ rolled off on the river and all of [Removed:608]'s chips were sent over to Badziakouski.

Brett Slezak

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ben Tollerene opened from the cutoff and then called after Barak Wisbrod three-bet from the small blind.

On the K♣J♦10♠ flop, Wisbrod continued for 135,000 and Tollerene flatted.

Wisbrod bet again on the 5♣ turn for 300,000 and Tollerene called once again.

On the 6♦ river, Wisbrod bet 570,000 with 5,000 back, Tollerene raised, and Wisbrod immediately stood up from his chair in disbelief as he tossed in the last chip.

Barak Wisbrod: A♠A♥ All in
Ben Tollerene: A♦Q♦

It was an unfortunate flop for Wisbrod as Tollerene flopped the nut straight and Wisbrod could not get away from his aces on his way to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alex Kulev raised to 120,000 in the cutoff and Leon Sturm just called on the button. Phil Ivey was in the big blind and ripped all in for 970,000. Kulev quickly folded but Sturm opted to call.

Phil Ivey: A♦5♠ All in
Leon Sturm: A♥10♦

Ivey was in an uphill battle but the flop of 7♦5♥3♠ gave Ivey a pair of fives and the lead. The 8♥ on the turn and the 3♥ on the river were save for Ivey who scored a double up, leaving Sturm on the short stack.

Connor Richards

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Danny Tang opened from early position and Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 275,000 from middle position. Tang called.

Both players checked on the 7♠9♣4♠ flop and again on the Q♠ turn. Tang then bet 525,000 on the 7♣ river with just 15,000 behind. Jaffe raised all in and Tang folded to be forced all in the next hand with a fraction of a big blind as Nick Schulman raised.

Danny Tang: Q♦2♠ All in
Nick Schulman: 9♠7♠

Schulman took the lead on the flop of 6♥10♣7♥ and nothing changed on the 3♥2♥ runout to mark Tang's elimination.
