Skrzypczak More Than Doubles

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Pawel Skrzypczak
Pawel Skrzypczak

Rakesh Lalwani shoved from under the gun for his last 79,000 and was called by Jan Bendik on his direct left. Pawel Skrzypczak looked at his cards from the hijack and decided to also shove but for 322,000 in total. Action folded back to Bendik who considered his options for a bit and then decided to make the call.

When Bendik flipped over his cards, the rest of the table gasped and looked bewildered at the cards and each other.

Rakesh Lalwani: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Pawel Skrzypczak: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Jan Bendik: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, even though Bendik hit a king on the flop, he couldn't find any others to improve his hand and Skrzypczak scored the elimination to his name and doubled through Bendik.

Kilian's Straight Draw Turns Into a Pair

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action folded around to Stefan Vogt on the button who raised it up to 35,000. Jonas Kilian defended from the big blind and the flop fell {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Kilian checked to Vogt who continued for 21,000 and Kilian called.

The turn was the {5-Spades} and both players checked to the {2-Hearts} on the river. Kilian checked again and Vogt quickly checked back. Kilian turned over {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a pair and missed straight draw but that proved to be enough to take down the pot.

Staniukynas Sends Decataldo Into the Tank

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}, Flavio Decataldo tossed in a bet of 75,000 into a pot of nearly 200,000. Rytas Staniukynas check-raised all in for 353,000, putting Decataldo to the test for nearly the rest of his chips.

Decataldo sat in the tank for well over three minutes, pleading for Staniukynas to show his cards if he folded. Decataldo eventually succumbed to the pressure from Staniukynas and flashed his {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} before they hit the muck. As the pot was pushed to Staniukynas, he turned over the {5-Hearts}, leaving Decataldo pondering his decision.

Kessler and Decataldo Find Doubles

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

At one table, Allen Kessler was seen raking in a pot to double up his stack. Kessler held {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} in the small blind and spiked a king on the river for top pair to keep his tournament hopes alive.

Next door, another big pot was brewing and Flavio Decataldo was in the middle of it once again. After an all in for 149,000 from under the gun, Eyal Bensimhon just called in middle position. Decataldo also shoved all in for 420,000 in the big blind and Bensimhon called.

Flavio Decataldo: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Eyal Bensimhon: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Decataldo's pocket nines held on to eliminate one opponent and double up through Bensimhon.

Susta Flops a Full House

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Roman Sahin opened from the hijack and Vojtech Susta three-bet shoved all in for 170,000 in the big blind. Sahin called but was in trouble when the cards were tabled.

Susta showed {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} while Sahin held just one over card with {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. The flop of {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} gave Susta a full house and there wasn't much of a contest from Sahin. The {5-Clubs} on the turn left Sahin drawing dead to the {6-Hearts} on the river.

Mussini Back Into the Chip Lead

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Nico Mussini
Nico Mussini

Sanjay Sahijwani raised to 45,000 from early position and Nicolaas Baars shipped all in for 245,000 in the hijack. Nico Mussini was on the button and just flat-called. That prompted an all in from Sahijwani and Mussini snap-called, putting himself at risk for 675,000.

Nico Mussini: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Sanjay Sahijwani: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Nicolaas Baars: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Mussini was well ahead with his pocket aces and the flop of {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} changed nothing as nobody held a spade in their hand. The {a-Diamonds} on the turn meant Mussini's opponents were only drawing to a chop. The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Mussini eliminated Baars while doubling up through Sahijwani.
