Shehadeh Runs Into Kim's Aces

Christian Zetzsche

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

De Han Kim opened the action from under the gun and snap-called when Luigi Shehadeh pushed for what appeared to be around 15 blinds on the button.

Luigi Shehadeh: 6♠6♦
De Han Kim: A♣A♠

The A♥K♣7♣ flop left Shehadeh in dire shape as he needed running sixes to stay alive.

"Good game," he already said to everyone at the table and departed when the 8♠ turn as well as 4♠ river officially sealed his fate.

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

[Removed:446] opened to 325,000 from the cutoff and Evgheni Toporas moved all in from the button for 915,000. Matthew Davenport called in the big blind and Saran called as well.

Both remaining players checked the Q♣7♣4♠ flop leading to the 4♠ on the turn. Davenport check-called a 650,000 bet from Saran.

Both players checked the 8♣ river.

Toporas revealed A♦5♦, Saran tabled Q♠9♠ for two pair, queens and fours and Davenport showed down 8♦8♠ for a rivered full house to send Toporas to the rail and take down a sizable pot.

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

Elia Salerno raised to 320,000 and Istvan Toth then pushed all-in for around ten blinds on the button. Berhane Yoseph called all-in for fewer than that and Salerno instantly folded.

Berhane Yoseph: A♦J♦
Istvan Toth: A♥Q♥

The 8♦5♦4♥ flop gave Yoseph a flush draw, which he missed on the A♠ turn. However, the 9♦ fell on the river and Yoseph doubled for 1,135,000. Toth had around four blinds left after that and hit the rail shortly after, as the field was reduced to the final four tables.

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

Dragan Miljanovic moved all in from the button for 340,000 and was called by Sabri Neziri in the big blind who covered.

Dragan Miljanovic: J♥3♥
Sabri Neziri: 10♠3♠

Miljanovic was in good shape with a bigger three and remained ahead on the K♣2♣5♣ flop. Neziri took the lead when he connected with the 10♣ turn although Miljanovic could now chop with any club. The 6♥ river was a blank and Neziri took the pot while Miljanovic was sent to the rail.

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

On Q♦5♥8♥ with 440,000 chips in the pot, Harcharan Dogra Dogra in the small blind moved all in, and Georgios Tsouloftas went into the tank.

With only 155,000 chips left, he waited while looking at the payouts on the screens. But the clock was called, and after almost 30 seconds, he called.

Georgios Tsouloftas: 6♥4♥
Harcharan Dogra Dogra: Q♣9♦

Tsouloftas needed a seven or heart to stay in the tournament. But the 5♣ came on the turn and the 9♣ on the river, ending his run in 36th place for €6,750.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy sent his chips over to Sokratis Linaras and at the same time, [Removed:490] three-bet jammed on the button over a raise by Georges Chehade. Mikael Hen in the big blind moved all-in and Chehade folded.

[Removed:490]: 8♥8♠
Mikael Hen: A♠A♣

The inferior pair got there on the 9♠3♠3♦3♥8♣ river to leave Hen stunned, as he dropped to a mere five blinds.

Aleksei Donets was already awaiting his fate when the turn showed 9♥8♣4♥6♣. Matthew Davenport bet 475,000 out of the blinds and was called by Levan Rcheulishvili. The same action repeated on the 6♠ river for 475,000 and Donets had already stood up from his chair to gather his belongings.

Davenport tabled his 7♥5♥ for a straight, Donets was gone with the J♥2♥ and the A♠9♣ of Rcheulishvili were only briefly revealed.

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

Aleksej Grenz opened to 260,000 from the cutoff and Filippo Ragone moved all in for approximately 900,000. Grenz made the call with a covering stack to put Ragone at risk.

Filippo Ragone: A♠Q♠
Aleksej Grenz: A♣J♣

Ragone was in great shape to double up and remained ahead on the 7♠8♣7♦ flop. The 5♠ turn was also a blank but the J♦ river gave Grenz two pair to take the pot down and send Ragone to the rail.

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

Sebastian Langrock raised to 675,000, keeping a single chip worth 5,000 with him. All the other players folded to Istvan Toth in the big blind, who called.

On 7♠5♦2♣, Toth directly moved all in. Langrock waited as long as he could. At some point, a player at the table called the clock, but the tournament directors were breaking a table, so nobody showed up. But even if he could have waited longer, Langrock decided to call.

Sebastian Langrock: Q♠J♣
Istvan Toth: A♠Q♥

"We need luck," said Langrock when the cards went on their backs. But he didn't find the luck he needed on the turn 2♥ and the river 7♣, so he was eliminated.
