Bubble Burst; 3 Eliminations In One

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
The Colossus Day 1I Bubble moments
The Colossus Day 1I Bubble moments

After several double ups and eliminations, in the sixth round of hand-for-hand play there were six all-ins and calls. In that round 3 players were eliminated and one of them was Vlado Sevo. He had gone all with {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and was called by {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. The board ran out {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} - no help for Sevo as he was eliminated.

Here's an overview of the other hands:

Hand #1:
Player 1: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Player 2: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Player 3: {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Spades} - The first player tripled up, the second player took the side pot and the third player lost a chunk of his stack.

Hand #2:
Button (at risk): {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Small Blind: {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{A-Hearts} - it looked like the player in the small blind was going to eliminate the player on the button but the ace on the river gave her a set of aces and the double up.

Hand #3:
Button: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Small Blind (at risk): {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{4-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} - no help for the small blind as she was eliminated.

Hand #4:
The flop read {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades} and two players were involved in the hand:
Player 1: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Player 2: {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The turn brought them the {A-Clubs} and the river the {Q-Hearts} - player 2 had hit a straight on the flop. Even though player 1 had hit an ace on the turn for a set of aces, the river didn't help him and he was eliminated.

Hand #5:
Small Blind: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Big Blind: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} - no danger for the first player but as their stacks were pretty even, they needed to be counted out exactly. In the end, the player in the small blind doubled up and the player in the big blind was left with less than 4,000.

The 3 eliminated players would share the prize money for 154th place

Change in Schedule

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The tournament organization has just announced that the break that was supposed to take place after this level will not take place as the players are getting close to the bubble. Also, they need the tables to be clear as soon as possible to make space for the players in Day 1j. They're now 10 players away from being in the money.

Aidonopoulos Wins On The Flop

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Theodoros Aidonopoulos
Theodoros Aidonopoulos

Theodoros Aidonopoulos was all in and called by the player on his left. He had the bigger stack so he could eliminate a player to get closer to the bubble.

Theodoros Aidonopoulos: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts} - Aidonopoulos hit an eight on the flop for two pair, eights and fours and got the elimination to his name.
