Fernandez Finishes Woerndl

Frank Visser

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Philipp Woerndl jammed all in for 205,000 under the gun and was called by Carlos Fernandes in middle position. The remaining players folded before the pair showed down.

Philipp Woerndl: K♠7♠ All in
Carlos Fernandes: A♥10♥

The 6♥9♥6♣ flop brought Fernandes a flush draw, and he locked up the pot when a third heart arrived on the Q♥ turn.

The 9♠ river was rendered meaningless, seeing Woerndl say his goodbyes just after the dinner break.

David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With around 200,000 in the pot on a flop of A♣K♠Q♠, Renato Ardelean bet 110,000 from middle positon and Manoe Betrix called on the button.

The turn was the 10♠ and Ardelean bet another 110,000. Betrix then raised to 500,000 and Ardelean tanked for a few minutes before moving all in for 505,000. Betrix put in the extra chip to call.

Ardelean showed Q♥Q♣ for a set, but Betrix had A♥J♥ for a straight and held on through the 9♥ river to earn the pot and send Ardelean to the rail.

David Savocka: J♣9♣ All in
Lishai Heshbon: A♣Q♦

Sava Krink

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Thomas Kirchner made a bold move, shoving all in with his last 105,000 chips from the cutoff. After asking for a chip count, Patrik Demus in the big blind decided to make the call. In a lighthearted moment, Kirchner joked that his all-in was worth even more because he was also tossing in his apple, which had served as his trusty card protector throughout the day.

Thomas Kirchner: K♠10♥ All in
Patrik Demus: J♦10♠

The flop came down Q♦7♠J♣, giving Kirchner a glimmer of hope as he flopped a straight draw.

With every turn of the cards, he was eager for more good news, and his prayers were answered when the A♠ appeared on the turn, providing him with the straight he needed.

As the river brought the J♦, it did not change the outcome of the hand. Kirchner's hand held strong, allowing him to double up and keep his tournament hopes alive, much to his relief.

Arutiun Papian: A♣9♣ All in
Kai Polotzek: A♦Q♣

Papian was dominated but took the lead on the 2♣K♠9♠ flop with a pair of nines. The turn, though, was the Q♦ and Polotzek moved back in front with a pair of queens. The river was the 7♦ and Papian was sent to the rail.

Frank Visser

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With 175,000 in the middle, Tomas Svec's stack of 450,000 or so chips flew in under the gun on a flip of 2♥3♠Q♥. His opponent was Antonio Jelenković, who had the covering stack.

Tomas Svec: Q♠10♥ All in
Antonio Jelenković: Q♣3♣

Jelenkovic had flopped two pair to dominate Svec's pair of queens. The hand was almost over once the 3♥ hit the turn, upgrading Jelenkovic to a full house.

The final queen in the deck did not come on the J♥ river, preventing a chop and sending Svec to the rail.

David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Esteban Ismailov moved all in for 255,000 from under the gun and Carlos Fernandes called in the cutoff.

Esteban Ismailov: K♥9♦ All in
Carlos Fernandes: A♠J♣

The 2♥10♠8♥ flop was no help to Ismailov, but he hit the 9♠ on the turn to make a pair of nines and take the lead. The river was the J♥ and Fernandes hit a pair of jacks to win the pot, sending Ismailov off to the payout desk.
