Kars and Hlynsson Depart

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Bartel Kars
Bartel Kars

A very upset Bartel Kars walked away from the table after yet another bad beat. He had previously doubled Eyal Bensimhon and then got it in with the {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} against Norbert Mosonyi and his {a-Spades}{j-Spades}. The board came {8-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Kars stormed out of the tournament area.

One further bustout reduced the field to the final 27 hopefuls as Hafthor Hlynsson ran with queens into the aces of Marcel Brunner.

Bensimhon Cracks Loewenthal's Kings

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Samuel Mika raised and Nachal Loewenthal moved all in. Eyal Bensimhon reshoved for a total stack of 950,000 and Mika folded to create the following showdow:

Nachal Loewenthal: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Eyal Bensimhon: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Bensimhon was in terrible shape to double up but the board appeared {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, giving him a set of tens on the flop to crack Loewenthal's kings, who was left with crumbs after that pot.

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
David Taborsky
David Taborsky

David Taborsky was all in with a short stack and the {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, and found himself dominated by the {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of Mykhailo Hryhoriev.

The {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Spades} flop was bad news for Taborsky and the {a-Spades} turn left him drawing dead, a blank {5-Diamonds} came on the river.

Pierre Neuville: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Reschke was hoping for a double but Neuville found a pair of kings on the board {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs} to claim the pot and Reschke made his way to the cashier.
