Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Moritz Koelsch
Moritz Koelsch

Shahar Levi raised from the button and Moritz Koelsch shoved from the small blind. Markus Jordan reluctantly folded while Levi quickly called.

Moritz Koelsch: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Shahar Levi: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} which kept Koelsch ahead.

"No!" Koelsch exclaimed when the {7-Hearts} came on the turn to give Levi a flush draw.

The river completed the board with the {3-Hearts} to give Levi the flush indeed to eliminate Koelsch in 15th place for €5,913.

Jeff Lisandro Eliminated in 14th Place (€7,335)

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jeff Lisandro
Jeff Lisandro

Jeff Lisandro raised to 310,000 from under the gun and Shahar Levi, covering everyone, moved all in on the button. Lisandro quickly called it off for 2,530,000 total.

Jeff Lisandro: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Shahar Levi: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

"I'm not lucky against ace-king," the Aussie said as if he had a premonition about what was going to happen. The board indeed ran out bad for him with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} and he bowed out in 14th place.

Bak Cooks Up Something Different

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Andrew Bak raised to 250,000 from middle position, Vangelis Kaimakamis called in the cutoff and Nitin Jain called from the small blind. The flop was {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} and both Jain and Bak checked to Kaimakamis who bet 365,000.

Jain check-raised to 850,000 but Bak, the preflop raiser, had cooked up a different plan. He cut out a flop three-bet to 2,000,000 straight, getting rid of Kaimakamis. Jain gave it quite some thought before committing the extra chips.

The turn brought another {3-Hearts} and Jain checked. Bak bet 2,200,000 and Jain, visibly unpleased, folded after several minutes of thought.

Levi Keeps the Pressure On

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Leonid Yanovski limped in on the button and Shahar Levi raised to 625,000 from the big blind. Yanovski shook his head and made the call.

They both checked through the {9-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop and the {8-Diamonds} on the turn to the {6-Spades} on the river. Levi bet 525,000 and Yanovski didn't believe him and made the call. Levi tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and that was enough for Yanovski to muck his hand.

Heneka Doubles Through Levi

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Shahar Levi raised to 320,000 from under the gun after having raised from every position possible already and Rainer Heneka shoved for 710,000 in the hijack. Luigi Macaluso asked for a count and then folded after looking at Levi. Levi snap-called.

Rainer Heneka: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Shahar Levi: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for Heneka to hold and double up.

Rivas Gets Value

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

With the board reading {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, Vangelis Kaimakamis and Nitin Jain checked to Jose Rivas on the button, who bet 300,000. Kaimakamis check-called and Jain folded.

On the {3-Hearts} river, Rivas bet 840,000 and Kaimakamis flicked in a calling chip after some thought. Rivas showed him {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Kaimakamis couldn't beat that.

Mykhailo Gutyi Eliminated in 13th Place (€7,335)

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Mykhailo Gutyi
Mykhailo Gutyi

Mykhailo Gutyi shoved 2,300,000 from middle position and Luigi Macaluso looked him up from the small blind.

Mykhailo Gutyi: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Luigi Macaluso: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop brought a set for Macaluso but Gutyi had outs with a straight draw. He picked up a flush draw on the {6-Spades} turn but bricked the {5-Diamonds} river. With that, last year's WSOPE bracelet winner was gone in 13th place.

Nitin Jain Eliminated in 12th Place (€9,248)

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Nitin Jain
Nitin Jain

Mere seconds after Mykhailo Gutyi moved in on the other table, Didier Rabl and Nitin Jain got their stacks in the middle in a blind-on-blind war, with the latter at risk for a massive pot.

Nitin Jain: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Didier Rabl: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Jain was ahead but the {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop was dreadful for him, leaving him with just the case ten. It remained in the deck on the {5-Clubs} turn and {a-Hearts} river and the Indian was eliminated in 12th place.
