Josh Noy

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action folded around to Kalle Persson in the small blind, who slid out enough chips to put Seyed Dezfooli all in to his left. Dezfooli checked his cards and made the call.

Seyed Dezfooli: A♣5♣
Kalle Persson: J♥9♣

Persson connected with a pair on the flop of the 10♦6♦9♥4♥3♠ runout, leaving Dezfooli with just ace-high to end his tournament run.

Andrian Busts Pascucci in Battle of Simones

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Simone Andrian had already opened from early position and action folded around to Simone Pascucci on the button, who shoved for approximately 23,000. Andrian called to put Pascucci at risk and hands were revealed.

Simone Pascucci: A♣Q♥
Simone Andrian: A♥K♠

Andrian had Pascucci dominated, and the J♦8♥10♠6♣J♠ runout changed nothing — eliminating Pasucci from the tournament.

Dedusha Dusted by Niemela

Dan O'Hair

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Artan Dedusha was already all in for approximately 40,000 on a 4♣8♣10♥ flop and had been called by Mikael Niemela to be put at risk.

Artan Dedusha: K♥10♦
Mikael Niemela: Q♣Q♦

Dedusha would need some help with his pair of tens, but the A♦ turn and Q♠ river needlessly improved Niemela to a set of queens and Dedusha was eliminated.

Kretschmann Takes the Rest of Martinvoic’s Chips

Dan O'Hair

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Dragoljub Martinovic was already all in from the small blind against Felix Kretschmann, who was in early position, on a 9♦10♦5♣ flop. Kretschmann called to put Martinovic at risk and a showdown was held.

Dragoljub Martinovic: J♥8♥
Felix Kretschmann: Q♥J♦

Both players held open-ended straight draws, but Kretschmann held the best of it with his queen.

The A♠ turn and 4♣ river improved neither player and Martinovic was eliminated.

Demel Victim of Death by Quads

Dan O'Hair

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Danas Dambrauskas opened to 3,200 from middle position and was called by Hyungwoo Kim in the cutoff. Dominik Demel then shoved for his last 7,200 on the button and both Dambrauskas and Kim called.

Kim called a 7,200 bet from Dambrauskas on the 8♠10♣8♣ flop, but folded facing a 15,200 barrel from Dambrauskas on the 4♠ turn.

Dominik Demel: A♥J♥
Danas Dambrauskas: 8♦7♦

Demel was already drawing dead, and the 8♥ river improved Dambrauskas to quads to put exclamation point on Demel’s elimination.

Brambila Flips Pescatori Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Horacio Brambila opened to 2,500 from the hijack and action folded to Max Pescatori in the small blind, who shoved for approximately 10,000. Brambila thought for a while, but eventually decided to call and put Pescatori at risk.

Max Pescatori: 9♥9♠
Horacio Brambila: K♦J♣

It was a race, but the K♠7♥4♣8♦3♦ runout paired Brambila’s king — leaving Pescatori second best for the knockout.

Raka Saved, Then Eliminated

Josh Noy

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Veton Raka and Yehor Shumeiko were heads up on a board showing 10♣7♥8♠ and all of Raka's chips in the middle.

Veton Raka: 9♥7♠
Yehor Shumeiko: J♠9♠

Raka frustratedly stood as he saw his flopped straight sit second best to Shumeiko's jack-high straight. The K♥ turn left Raka trailing, but the J♣ river left both players with the same hand as Raka was saved by the chop.

A short while later though, the rest of Raka's stack was gone as he hit the rail.

Yehor Shumeiko	33,500

Ace on the River Ends Voll’s Run

Dan O'Hair

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andreas Loesche was already all in for his last 11,000 from the big blind and was called by Marcus Voll from early position to put Loesche at risk.

Andreas Loesche: Q♣Q♦
Marcus Voll: A♣3♠

Loesche was looking good to double on the K♥8♥J♣ flop and 6♦ turn; however, the A♠ river paired Voll’s ace — ending Loesche’s run in heartbreaking fashion.

Marcus Voll	63,000 33,000	33,000
