De Jonge Wins 3-Way All In; Damelian Eliminated

Stewart Morrison

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Roberto Damelian moved all in from early position for 115,000, and when action folded to Sebastiaan de Jonge on the button, he followed suit, moving all in for 290,000. Action then got to Tanupat Punjarojanakul in the big blind. Once he received a count of the biggest stack, he opted to call.

Roberto Damelian: Q♥J♠ All in
Sebastiaan de Jonge: A♦7♣ All in
Tanupat Punjarojanakul: 8♥6♣

The K♠4♦5♦ flop didn't change the standings, but the 6♥ turn put Punjarojanakul in the lead, putting both his opponents at risk.

The river 8♦ came to the rescue of de Jonge, though, and as he pulled in the pot, Damelian headed to the exit.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Xia Wang opened the action when it folded to her in middle position, by ripping in her 430,000 stack. Michael Mizrachi then reshoved to isolate from the small blind, putting big blind Yuefan Wang in quite the spot. He asked for a count of the original jam, before counting out his own stack and finally letting his cards go, announcing that he'd folded pocket eights.

Xia Wang: A♣A♠ All in
Michael Mizrachi: K♠10♠

It was two pair all round, as the board ran out 6♥K♥6♠8♦10♣ giving Wang the best of it. Yuefan Wang would've boated up, as Mizrachi noted that if he had not isolated, Xia Wang would be out.
