Back-to-Back Hands Eliminate Sandvik

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Espen Sandvik had a couple of hands that led to his exit.

The first hand took place when Zachary Hench opened to 42,000 from under the gun and was called by Sandvik from the hijack. Hench bet 114,000 on the 3♦2♥10♥ flop, leaving only 4,000 behind. Sandvik went all-in, and Hench called to put himself at risk.

Zachary Hench: A♥A♣Q♥2♠All in
Espen Sandvik: 10♦9♠7♦7♠

Hench hit his flush on the 6♥ turn, and this turned out to be crucial as Sandvik hit a set on the 7♣ river.

On the very next hand, Sandvik went all-in for his remaining 99,000 after a raise from Gael Ruiz, and was called to be at risk.

Espen Sandvik: A♥10♣6♦6♠All in
Gael Ruiz: K♥K♦Q♠2♦

Ruiz held court on the 2♠4♠8♥K♣A♠ runout to eliminate Sandvik.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Heads-up to the turn of 5♦2♣3♣10♦ with 216,000 in the pot, Sergio Martinez Gonzalez bet out for the full pot from the hijack.

Jamie Payne, on the button, went into the tank before he re-potted to put himself all in for 415,000. Gonzalez snap-called to put Payne at risk.

Jamie Payne: A♠Q♦3♦3♠ All in
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: A♥K♠9♣4♦

Gonzalez had flopped a wheel and was way ahead but needed to dodge a board pair-up to send Payne packing.

The poker gods were on Payne's side when they served up the 10♥ river and gave Payne a full house to scoop the massive pot and leave Gonzalez with a bowl of rice.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of Q♦8♠K♥ with middle position player Artur Koren having moved all in, and small blind Joshua Wang making a decision for his tournament life. He eventually put in a call, and saw the bad news.

Joshua Wang: K♠Q♠9♦3♥ All in
Artur Koren: 8♣8♦7♠7♣

Wang was behind to the set of Koren, but managed to pick up four more outs on the 10♥ turn. The river J♣ was one of them, as he made a straight to the king to double and survive.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kelly Mahana in late position opened to 42,000 and Akseli Paalanen in small blind called to see the flop.

The flop came 3♠A♠K♣. After a check, Mahana fired 110,000. After a few seconds, Paalanen announced all-in for 400,000, then got a snap-call from Mahana who put himself at risk.

Kelly Mahana: A♣Q♠Q♣3♦ All in
Akseli Paalanen: A♦K♠J♦8♠

Paalanen caught a two-pair on the flop, cracking Mahana's queens. The turn 8♣ didn't help Mahana at all, making things look quite grim for him. With Paalanen improving to a full house on the river A♥, Mahana's fate was sealed.

He left the table as Paalanen added his chips to his stack.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a multi-way pot, Benjamin Juhasz limped from early position, as did Jon Turner. Action was on Toby Joyce on the button, who also limped, and Dustin Murphy made up from the small blind. Ido Aboudi checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came 3♦6♠5♠, and Murphy checked to Aboudi, who bet out for 22,000. Juhasz and Turner folded, and Joyce made the call. Murphy exited stage left as well.

On the 3♣ turn, Aboudi bet out for 105,000, which sent Joyce into the tank briefly before he released his hand to send the pot to Aboudi.

Jason Zipfel opened to 35,000 from under the gun before Jason Corbett called in the cutoff. Qiang Xu made it 152,000 and was called only by Zipfel.

The 4♥9♦8♥ flop led to a check from Xu. Zipfel fired pot for 363,000 before Xu moved all in for 843,000 in response. Zipfel called to put Xu at risk.

Qiang Xu: A♦A♠K♦5♥All in
Jason Zipfel: Q♦10♦7♠6♣

Xu was ahead with his pair of aces, but Zipfel had plenty of straight outs to get the job done.

The 9♠ turn kept Xu in the lead, and the K♥ river sealed the deal in favor of Xu, who raked in a big pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Richard Spencer in late position opened for 30,000, and Jose Ramos called on the button. Will Givens in the small blind raised to 130,000, and both players called to see the flop.

The flop came J♥3♠8♦. Givens continued with 222,000, prompting Spencer to shove all-in for 157,000. Ramos got out of the way, leaving the two players to head to a showdown.

Richard Spencer: Q♣J♣10♠9♠ All in
Will Givens: A♦J♦J♠4♠

Spencer hit a pair on the flop, but Givens was way ahead with his set. The turn 4♦ and river 4♥ fell, improving Givens' hand further to a full house. Spencer left the table as Givens scooped the pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Cutoff player Clyde Maliauka and big blind Giuseppe Pantaleo got themselves into a preflop raising war, as the two ended up all in with the pot totalling close to 1,500,000.

Giuseppe Pantaleo: A♣A♦K♦9♠ All in
Clyde Maliauka: A♥7♠6♠5♥

Pantaleo was at risk and up against a hand with plenty of equity, but confined his opponent to runner-runner on the Q♦3♦3♠ flop. It kept getting better for Pantaleo, as the 10♦ turn gave him a flush and had his opponent drawing dead, with the 3♥ river improving him to a full house for good measure.

Sebastian Pauli raised to 25,000 from early position, and action came to Ignacio Perez in middle position, who went into the tank.

The clock was called, and prior to it expiring, Perez raised pot, which left him just 10,000 behind. Davin Anderson, in the next seat, then raised enough to put himself all in for 74,000.

Pauli snap-called, and action came back to Perez, who had the clock called on him once more before he made the call.

Ignacio Perez: A♦J♥9♦8♥ All in
Davin Anderson: A♥K♠7♣6♠ All in
Sebastian Pauli: Q♥J♠J♣10♣

Pauli was ahead with his pair but needed to dodge a lot of outs to send two players home.

The flop of 10♥8♠5♠ came with danger, but the 3♥ turn changed nothing. However, the Q♠ peeled off on the river and gave Anderson a flush for a near triple-up and sent Perez to the rail.
