Hugues Girard: A♦K♥

Erick Torres

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alisson Piekazewicz was down to 105,000 before he had a series of double-ups that culminated with an all-in clash with Sean Winter to get back into the tournament.

Sean Winter raised to 90,000 from under the gun and faced an all-in from Alisson Piekazewicz for 370,000. Winter gave it some thought before he called to put Piekazewicz at risk.

Alisson Piekazewicz: J♠J♥ All in
Sean Winter: A♣10♣

Piekazewicz was ahead with his pair of jacks and had to fade the immediate outs of an ace to double.

The K♠Q♠K♣ flop gave Winter some counterfeit opportunities, but they did not convert when the K♥ turn and the 5♣ river rolled off to award Piekazewicz his third double in the first 10 minutes of the level.

"One Bottle of Jack Please"

Christian Zetzsche

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Yuliyan Kolev raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and he then called a three-bet to 320,000 by Jakob Miegel in the small blind. On the 10♣7♣6♦ flop, Miegel checked and called a bet of 210,000 by Kolev before the J♠ on the turn was checked through. Miegel also checked the 9♦ on the river and as soon as Kolev verbally declared his bet, the cards of the German went into the muck.

While the hand was played, Daniel Negreanu had spoken with the floor to remind all players that only two out of three ways to cover the face were allowed such as hats, face masks and sunglasses. Players also have to remove their headphones from now on and need to step away from the tables entirely to check their phones.

Kolev concluded his next successful hand with a big smirk on the face and "one bottle of Jack please".

Erick Torres

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Daniel Vicente raised to 80,000 from the hijack and faced an almost all-in from Hugues Girard, who committed most of his stack except for about 45,000 behind.

Vicente announced all-in to force Girard to put in the rest of his chips. Girard took some time to wait for another elimination possibility before he flicked in the call to be at risk for approximately 905,000.

Hugues Girard: 6♣6♦ All in
Daniel Vicente: J♥J♦

Girard needed the board to rescue him from doom, but the help did not come as the board spread out 8♦4♠Q♦4♥10♦ to eliminate Girard from the tournament.

David Kaufman Eliminated in 17th Place ($50,843)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Erick Torres

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

David Kaufmann jammed for his final 500,000 from the cutoff.

Gustavo Ortega chose to also go all-in from the button to isolate. The table folded, and Kaufmann was at risk.

David Kaufmann: K♦J♥ All in
Gustavo Ortega: A♣J♦

Ortega's hand dominated Kaufmann's, and it would take some help for Kaufmann to stay in the tournament.

The flop was not ideal, but it did offer a sliver of hope as it came Q♥A♥4♠ to give Kaufmann a gutshot to a straight.

The K♠ turn gave Kaufmann some additional outs to spike trips, but the river did not bring any solace as it came the 9♥ to eliminate Kaufmann.

Kaufmann earned $50,843 for his 17th-place finish.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Benjamin Chalot limped in from the small blind and Sean Winter checked from the big blind.

The flop came 2♦2♠10♣ and Chalot bet 40,000. Winter raised to 100,000 and Chalot three-bet to 225,000. Winter clicked it to 350,000, Chalot clicked it back with a five-bet to 475,000 and Winter called.

Chalot check-called a 125,000 bet from Winter on the Q♥ turn before check-calling a 475,000 bet from Winter on the 10♠ river. Winter showed A♦10♥ for a full house to take down a large pot from Chalot.
