Lawrence "cjacksallin" Cheung Lets it Go

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Romanian player "glezna23" raised it up to 8,000 from early position and only Lawrence "cjacksallin" Cheung in the small blind called. The flop landed {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and now Cheung led for 8,000, before calling the raise of 14,000 from his opponent.

The turn came {K-Clubs}, and this time Cheung opted for a check-minraise to 45,400. "glezna23" thought about it for a few seconds before jamming for 113,353 total, and that was enough to take down the pot.

Aleksandr "Evnomiya" Mordvinov Unlucky on the River

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Russias Aleksandr "Evnomiya" Mordvinov is no more in this $2,100 Super XL High Roller. Folded around to Austrian player "88TIGER889" in the small blind he put Mordvinov to the test for 34,656 chips. The Russian woke up with {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and called it off, but a {7-Clubs} on the river improved the {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} of "88TIGER889" to the winning hand, and Mordvinov exited just a few spots shy of the money.

Marton "WorldIsOurs" Czuczor Wins Two in a Row

Level 16 : 1,750/3,500, 400 ante

"TeamShippo" went all-in for 17,970 from first position, and Marton "WorldIsOurs" Czuczor isolated hijack by jamming his entire stack of 94.982. No one took the Hungarian up on the offer, and the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of Czuczor was way ahead of his opponents {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The board ran out all wheel-cards, and Czuczor won the pot.

The very next hand Czuczor raised yet again, and ended up playing a hand against Malta's "pintofbeer44". A bullet on the flop and one more on the turn was enough to win Czuczor the pot.

Richard "WhosToClaim" Trigg Sends Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov Packing

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 350 ante

Richard "WhosToClaim" Trigg shoved his stack of 37,928 chips from the cutoff and Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov called his remaining 33,846 chips off from the small blind.

Trigg: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Vezhenkov: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

A classic coinflip was underway, and this time the pocket pair would prevail. The flop came {2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, and neither the turn {10-Diamonds} or the river {J-Diamonds} helped Vezhenkov, who was eliminated.
