Stefan Wesson Eliminated in 4th Place (€24,000)

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Stefan Wesson
Stefan Wesson

Stefan Wesson pushed all-in from the small blind for just shy of 12 big blinds and Sandro Hauser called in the big blind.

Stefan Wesson: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Sandro Hauser: {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The Brit remained ahead on the {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop but the {10-Hearts} turn left Wesson with just three outs, as only a king would avoid his elimination. Instead, it was the {j-Diamonds} that fell on the river and Wesson departed in 4th place for €24,000.

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alexandre Ventura Bolet
Alexandre Ventura Bolet

Alexandre Ventura Bolet raised from under the gun holding the ]KsJd] and was called by Sandro Hauser in the big blind with the {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. On a flop of {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, Hauser opted to check his top pair and then came along when Ventura Bolet continued for 325,000.

After the {10-Clubs} turn, Hauser checked once more and Ventura Bolet fired a second barrel worth 500,000. Hauser invested one of his time bank extensions and then called for the {2-Hearts} river to complete the board. The third street in a row was checked by Hauser and Ventura Bolet moved all-in for 1,400,000 to force a fold from the Italian

Kurko Stops the Bleeding

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Stefan Wesson raised to 225,000 with the {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Kimmo Kurko called with the {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} in the big blind. Both players checked the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop and Kurko also checked the {6-Spades} turn. Wesson now bet 450,000 for a big portion of the pot and Kurko stuck around to the {7-Spades} river.

A quick check by Kurko followed and Wesson used one time bank extension before checking it back and giving up the pot.

Small Pot to Hauser; Action Slows Down

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In a limped pot between Sandro Hauser in the small blind with the {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Alexandre Ventura Bolet in the big blind with the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, the {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop was checked through. On the {3-Hearts} turn, Hauser bet and that won the pot with the inferior hand.

Suddenly, all players are within ten big blinds and that has significantly slowed down the action.

Hauser Doubles Through Kurko and Takes the Lead

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alexandre Ventura Bolet made it 200,000 to go from under the gun with the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Kimmo Kurko three-bet to 525,000 on the button. Sandro Hauser pushed all-in for 1,500,000 in the big blind and Kurko was hating life but called it off anyways with more than two to one pot odds.

Sandri Hauser: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Kimmo Kurko: {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Spades} board let the kicker play and Hauser doubled, suddenly sending Kurko to the bottom of the leaderboard.

Wesson Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Stefan Wesson raised from under the gun with the {a-Spades}{7-Spades} and Kimmo Kurko let go of the {j-Spades}{5-Spades} in the big blind.

All of a sudden no longer the run-away chip leader, Kurko will have to rebuild his stack

Sandro Hauser then opened to 225,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades} from under the gun and Wesson pushed for 1.8 million in the big blind holding the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Some consideration by Hauser followed but the fold was the obvious outcome.

Ventura Bolet Doubles Through Kurko

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Kimmo Kurko raised from under the gun and called the three-bet shove by Alexandre Ventura Bolet in the big blind for 14 blinds.

Alexandre Ventura Bolet: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Kimmo Kurko: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} flop and {7-Spades} turn provided split pot outs but the {k-Diamonds} river put the next dent into Kurko's stack.

Wesson Doubles Through Kurko

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Stefan Wesson pushed all-in for the last 820,000 on the button and Kimmo Kurko reluctantly called as the far biggest stack in the big blind.

Stefan Wesson: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Kimmo Kurko: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop improved Kurko to fives and treys but Wesson regained the lead on the {q-Diamonds} turn. No further roller coaster followed with the {10-Spades} river as Wesson doubled once more to put a small dent into Kurko's big stack.
