Oliver Heidel
Oliver Heidel

On the turn of a board {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}, Oliver Heidel got the remainder of his stack worth 8,650 in with the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Nursultan Abilkassym looked him up with {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Heidel spiked the magic {K-Clubs} on the river and doubled to more than the starting stack.

Ramos and Cheung Eliminated

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Felipe Ramos
Felipe Ramos

While Carlo Savinelli took a seat over on table 84, Hilary Hin Cheung was sent to the rail from the very same table.

Felipe Ramos, who had previously lost a big pot when chasing a gutshot and back door flush draw with ace-four versus pocket jacks, also ran out of his chips. Ramos got it in with the {6-Clubs}{5-Spades} against the {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} of the small blind and the {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop left the Brazilian in desperate shape, he was drawing dead on a blank turn.

Oliver Heidel was all in and avoided an early elimination, at least for now. Heidel's {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs} were up against the {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} of Maxim Lykov and the board came {J-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades} to let Heidel double with just ace-high.

Maxim Lykov

Facing a raise of 700 from under the gun, Maxim Lykov called on the button and the blinds tagged along as well. The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and the action was checked to Lykov who bet 2,100. The big blind was the only player to make the call and they went heads-up to the {4-Clubs} on the turn.

The big blind checked again and Lykov fired another 3,200. The big blind called and the {6-Clubs} landed on the river. This time, the big blind led out for 6,500 but Lykov made the call. The big blind tabled {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Lykov showed {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to scoop the pot.

Camarda Next to Fall

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Darren Delahunty
Darren Delahunty

After having lost almost all chips the hand before, Salvatore Camarda was all in for just 1,700 and received two callers in Adolf Kern and Darren Delahunty. The latter bet the {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop for 1,700 and Kern folded.

Camarda showed {K-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Delahunty was ahead with the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The {7-Hearts} turn and {Q-Spades} river failed to improve Camarda and he left the table with a "ciao."

The cards were already rushed away but Auer was kind enough to provide the details. According to Auer he called a raise by Felipe Ramos and the big blind also came along. On a {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop, the big blind led for 2,500 and Ramos called. Auer on the button raised to 7,800 and called the shove of the big blind for little more, Ramos folded.

The big blind showed {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Auer's {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} got there with right away another diamond on the turn.
