Two Three-Bets on the Feature Table

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

After two raise and take it hands, Kevin MacPhee raised to 75,000 on the button, Stepan Osinovski three-bet to 280,000 in the big blind and forced a fold from the defending WSOPE Main Event champion.

Osinovski limped in the next hand and Niall Farrell checked. On a flop of {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}, Osinovski bet 75,000 and forded a fold.

Osinovski lost some of the profit when raising to 75,000 from the hijack and facing a three-bet to 265,000 by Vlad Darie, besides that no other hand went past the preflop stage.

Chi Zhang Eliminated in 17th Place (€31,377)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Chi Zhang
Chi Zhang

Maria Ho started with two three-bets after the dinner break, raking in the open-raised of Vlad Darie and Andrei Boghean for 65,000 each. In the third hand, Ho raised to 65,000 from under the gun and Chi Zhang moved all in for 645,000 on the button. Boghean in the big blind asked for a count and reshoved to force a fold from Ho.

Chi Zhang: {A-Spades}{3-Spades}
Andrei Boghean: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

While Zhang was dominated, he had chop outs on the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop. The {10-Diamonds} turn ensured just that while Zhang could not win the hand outright anymore. Any jack, king or ace would give Boghean the better hand and the {K-Clubs} on the river did just that to eliminate Zhang in 17th place for €31,377.

The remaining 16 players will now redraw to the last two tables.
