Sapitavicius Straightened Out by Paredes

Christian Zetzsche

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

The cards were on their backs already when Arunas Sapitavicius was all-in and at risk against David Paredes.

On the 9♠6♥5♣ flop, Sapitavicius was already trailing with his A♠A♣4♦2♠ as Paredes' 6♠5♦4♥3♦ had flopped two pair with the straight draw on top. Sapitavicius picked up more outs with the K♠ turn but the 7♦ river only improved Paredes to a straight.

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

With three players seeing a board of A♥6♣5♠ Javier Francort checked from the big blind and Alex Livingston bet 125,000 from early position. Dominykas Karmazinas called from the hijack while Francort got out of the way.

Livingston bet 480,000 on the 10♠ turn and Karmazinas shoved, covering Livingston who had started the hand with around 1,200,000. Livingston called and was at risk.

Alex Livingston: A♣K♠10♣5♥ All in
Dominykas Karmazinas: A♠A♦7♣7♥

Livingston had top two pair but was drawing dead against Karmazinas' top set and after the 6♦ river fell he exited the tournament area.

Alex Foxen raised it up in the hijack and Manuel Fischer got the last of his sub 300,000 stack in the middle from the blinds. Foxen called and Fischer was at risk.

The board ran out A♦7♦5♠J♣K♥ and Foxen's Q♥J♥10♠6♠ was good enough to make a straight on the river and Fischer was bounced from the tournament.

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

Karim Lehoussine was already all in and at risk from the small blind against Navkiran Singh, who had Lehoussine covered on the button.

Karim Lehoussine: A♣A♦9♠4♥ All in
Navkiran Singh: A♥K♣J♦J♣

Lehoussine got his chips in good with aces, but the 5♣10♣5♦9♥2♣ runout improved Singh to a flush to send Lehoussine out early in Day 3.

Lamb Forces Out Wang

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

Miltiadis Kyriakides came into the day with fewer than three big blinds and survived the early carnage before the first table broke. He was then however knocked out on the second pay jump and had to settle for $28,959 while all other 47 remaining players have locked up at least $33,002 for their efforts.

On his former table, Eric Wang defended against Ben Lamb and checked the A♣10♦6♠ flop. Lamb bet 200,000 and Wang jokingly asked "can I see a turn?" Lamb replied "you can definitely see a turn" but Wang reluctantly folded after some more table chat, exposing a double gutter.

Lamb first flashed the A♠ and then asked "you needed a king?" while he exposed the K♦K♣ as well. They bumped fists after it was all over.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ben Lamb	625,000 80,000	80,000

Eric Wang	275,000 125,000	125,000

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

Tolga Demirel raised to 80,000 from early position and Kurtis Tinfow shoved for approximately 200,000 on the button. Shrey Maheshwary called cold in the big blind and Demirel called as well.

Maheshwary checked on the A♦5♦2♣ flop and Demirel bet 375,000. Maheshwary responded with a shove and Demirel called all in for approximately 150,000 more to set up a three-way showdown.

Kurtis Tinfow: A♣Q♣Q♠6♠ All in
Tolga Demirel: A♥J♥10♦9♣ All in
Shrey Maheshwary: 8♦5♠4♦3♠

Maheshwary had flopped a wheel with a flush redraw, and the J♣6♦ runout needlessly improved him to a flush to score the massive pot and eliminate both Tinfow and Demirel from contention.

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

Quan Zhou opened to 70,000 from the cutoff and Robert Valden three-bet to 220,000 from the small blind. Zhou called.

The flop came A♥2♥3♦. Valden shoved and Zhou called with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Robert Valden: A♦A♠7♦6♦ All in
Quan Zhou: K♥J♥10♦2♣

Valden remained ahead with top set on the 6♠ turn but the 8♥ river gave Zhou the nut-flush to send Valden to the rail.

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

Daniel Perkusic opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Michael Zulker three-bet to 190,000 in the big blind. Perkusic called and the dealer spread the flop of Q♠3♠2♥. Zulker announced all in and Perkusic called off his stack of 390,000.

Daniel Perkusic: A♠10♠9♦7♠ All in
Michael Zulker: A♥A♣5♣4♠

Perkusic flopped a flush draw but that was all that he had working for him. The 6♦ and 8♦ runout changed nothing and Perkusic headed for payouts early on Day 3.

Christian Zetzsche

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

Arunas Sapitavicius got away with a three-bet pot preflop to win the hand without resistance.

He then faced the button raise to 75,000 by David Paredes and the small blind call of Erik Nordstrand. Sapitavicius called out of the big blind and the trio ended up checking down the Q♦10♦4♣7♦8♦. The Lithuanian tabled the K♣9♦7♥7♠ for a set of sevens and that won the pot.
