Li Eliminates Okamoto

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Shiina Okamoto
Shiina Okamoto

After taking a tumble from being one of the chip leading stack in the last level, to having just over ten big blinds, Shiina Okamoto opened to 270,000 from the hijack, leaving a single 5,000 chip behind.

Action folded around to Aobo Li who took some time to make a decision and kept looking at the clock as they were on a pay jump. With no all in action in sight, Li re-jammed for the exact same stack size, 275,000. When the dealer asked Okamoto "Did you call?", she responded "Not yet", and she waited for any other signs of all in action across the floor. Nothing was heard and Okamoto called off her last 5,000 and the players flipped their hands.

Shiina Okamoto: 4♣4♠All in
Aobo Li: Q♥Q♠

Li had Okamoto dominated and there was no sign of help for her on the J♥A♥8♠ flop, 5♦ turn or 3♦ river. Li got a full double up from the hand and Okamoto was left to leave the tournament in 36th place having narrowly missed the pay jump.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Yulian Bogdanov was one of a number of players to hit the rail recently. He was already on a 8♠A♣K♣ flop and in middle position, playing in a hand against Kimon Fountoukidis in the cutoff.

All the chips went in on the flop, with Bogdanov only just being covered by Fountoukidis.

Yulian Bogdanov: 8♥8♣All in
Kimon Fountoukidis: A♠K♠

After the cards were flipped it looked like Bogdanov had the best of it with trip eights, Fountoukidis stood to watch the runout but quickly retook his seat after the A♥ turn gave hive the better boat. There was no coming back for Bogdanov on the Q♦ river, and he hit the rail with less than 40 players left in the tournament.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Briant Alavez opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and Craig Mason on the button three-bet to 100,000. Shiina Okamoto in the small blind went into the tank and moved all-in for 800,000. Alavez quickly folded but Mason eventually threw a chip to call off his last 735,000.

Craig Mason: 10♠10♥ All in
Shiina Okamoto: Q♦J♦

Mason flopped a set on 9♥A♥10♣6♦2♥ and doubled up, leaving Okamoto with three big blinds.

Two hands later, she raised to 60,000 from the cutoff with only 5,000 behind. Loic Debregeas on the button, Flavien Guenan in the small blind and Keyavash Hemyari in the big blind all called.

After the blinds checked a flop of A♣7♦2♦, Okamoto moved all-in. Debregeas raised to 40,000 and made Guenan fold, but Hemyari called.

Debregeas fired a second barrel to 50,000 on the Q♥ turn and Hemyari check-folded.

Shiina Okamoto: A♥J♥ All in
Loic Debregeas: A♦7♥

Okamoto was looking for jacks to stay in the tournament, and the J♣ landed on the river to save her and allow her to quadruple her stack.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Srivinay Irrinki opened to 40,000 from the hijack and Francis Petrillo called from the cutoff. Kimon Fountoukidis also defended the big blind, taking the players three-ways to the 6♣9♥6♦ flop.

All action was checked to the 7♠ turn and Fountoukidis bet out 60,000. Only Irrinki called and the pair saw the 5♣ river.

Fountoukidis asked for 120,000 which was too much for Irrinki and he gave up the pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Shiina Okamoto opened from middle position and Bartlomiej Swieboda defended from the big blind.

The 10♥8♣K♥ flop was check-called by Swieboda after Okamoto bet 25,000.

A 10♣ turn saw both player check to the 7♠ river and Swieboda bet out 175,000. Okamoto went into a small tank, but eventually called. Swieboda tabled his 10♠9♦ for trip tens which was enough to force Okamoto to muck.

Both players checked the 8♦Q♥6♥ flop and the 6♠ turn leading to the K♦ river that Pecheux checked as well. Peling bet 80,000 and made Pecheux fold.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jason Darland was in middle position and in a hand against Benjamin Lizares in the big blind. The pair were on a 7♥9♦Q♥ flop and Lizares had checked. Darland moved all in for his remaining 190,000 stack and Lizares sat back in his chair to deliberate. He stood, picked up a stack and moved it across the line and said "F*** it".

Jason Darland: A♥Q♦All in
Benjamin Lizares: Q♣2♥

Darland had the best it, and held on the 8♠ turn and 10♠ river to see a full double up of his stack.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jason Ryan was all in for about 55,000 from the hijack and Miguel Capriles called in the cutoff. Michael Berk then moved all in on the button for around 350,000, and Ran Yi called for his stack of 300,000 in the small blind. Ioannis Kapnopoulos, sitting on the chip lead, also called with the chance to bust three players, and Capriles folded.

Jason Ryan: A♠J♦ All in
Michael Berk: A♣J♥ All in
Ran Yi: Q♥Q♠ All in
Ioannis Kapnopoulos: K♠K♥

Kapnopoulos held the best hand with pocket kings, and after flopping a set on the 3♣9♦K♦ board, his opponents were left needing a miracle to survive.

The rest of the board ran out Q♦2♣, giving Kapnopoulos the triple knockout as his stack soared to around three million.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Yuefan Wang was all in from middle position for his remaining 60,000. Keyavash Hemyari was sitting to Wang's direct left and re-jammed for 180,000. There were no other takers, leaving the pair to go heads up to showdown.

Yuefan Wang: A♥J♥All in
Keyavash Hemyari: 10♠10♣

Wang had two overs and two hearts, but was behind before the board was dealt to Hemyari's pocket tens.

With a ten coming on the 10♦5♦7♦ flop, Wang needed to hit a runner-runner to survive. His tournament life came to an end after seeing the 6♦ turn and 9♥ river.
