Deak's Lead Grows Huge

Frank Visser

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Ferenc Deak raised to 3,000,000 in the cutoff, and Quan Tran defended his big blind. Tran check-called Deak's bet of 7,800,000 on the 10♦8♥K♦ flop, but he check-folded once Deak put him all-in for 15,000,000 on the 2♥ turn.

A couple of hands later, Paulo Drummond limped in from the small blind, and Deak raised to the maximum of 3,600,000 in the big blind. Drummond instantly called, after which the 8♥5♥2♥ flop checked through.

Drummond threw in a pot-sized bet of 8,400,000 on the 7♥ turn, which Deak called. Drummond upped the ante to 19,000,000 on the 9♦ river before Deak shoved on him.

Drummond spent some time in the tank, repeatedly looking at his cards. Eventually, he decided to fold as he left himself just over 20 big blinds.

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Lukas Hafner made it 3,600,000 on the button. Carlos De Lima three-bet his big blind to 11,400,000, and Hafner pushed all in for 14,600,000 after some thought.

De Lima had Hafner slightly covered and called to put Hafner at risk.

Lukas Hafner: A♣10♥6♦5♣ All in
Carlos De Lima: A♥K♥J♥8♦

De Lima flopped two pair on 7♥7♦K♦. The 9♣ turn brought Hafner some outs, but the 5♠ river was not enough to prevent his elimination in sixth place.

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Carlos De Lima opened from under the gun to 3,500,000, and Ferenc Deak in the big blind responded with a three-bet to 11,000,000. De Lima made the call.

On the 10♠9♠9♣ flop, Deak continued for 2,500,000, and De Lima called.

Deak fired another bet of 3,800,000 on the J♦ turn, and De Lima called once again.

Both players checked the 6♠ river, and Deak tabled A♠K♣Q♦3♥ for a straight, which seemed enough for De Lima as his cards found the muck.

Carlos De Lima kicked things off with a raise to 3,000,000 and got called by Lukas Hafner in the big blind.

The flop came down 9♣8♠4♦, and Hafner went all in for his last 2,800,000; De Lima made the call.

Lukas Hafner: J♥8♣5♦4♥ All in
Carlos De Lima: A♥Q♣10♣6♦

Hafner was ahead with two pair, and the 2♥ turn and the 3♥ improved his hand to a straight, allowing him to double up against De Lima.

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Quan Tran opened to 2,500,000 under the gun. It folded to Sean Chen in the big blind, who called. Chen then led all in for 6,500,000 on the 6♣J♠3♣ flop, and Tran snapped him off.

Sean Chen: A♥K♠Q♠7♠ All in
Quan Tran: Q♦10♦7♦6♠

The 9♥9♦ runout changed nothing on the board, and Tran's pair of sixes knocked Chen out of the tournament.

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Quan Tran kicked things off in the cutoff and pot-raised to 3,500,000, leaving himself just 500,000 behind. Action folded to Ferenc Deak in the big blind, who raised, and Tran was all in.

Quan Tran: A♥A♦7♥5♣ All in
Ferenc Deak: Q♦Q♥8♥3♥

The flop came down 3♦4♥6♠, improving no hands, and Tran was still ahead with his pair of aces. But the 2♣ turn meant drawing dead for Deak as Tran had completed his straight. The J♠ river was just to complete the board, and Tran doubled up to stay alive in the tournament.

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Christoph Milbradt raised to 3,500,000 under the gun. Carlos De Lima flat-called in the small blind, and the two players saw a flop of Q♥9♠J♣. De Lima led out for an all-in bet, prompting Milbradt to go into the tank.

After a couple of minutes, the clock was called on Milbradt. Near the end of his countdown, he called his 5,000,000 remaining chips off to put himself at risk.

Christoph Milbradt: A♦A♣7♣4♠ All in
Carlos De Lima: Q♠J♠10♥5♥

De Lima had outflopped the aces of Milbradt. The Q♣ turn upgraded the Brazilian to a full house, and the 9♥ river did not bring an ace to set Milbradt's elimination in stone.
