Three-way all-in

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

A three-way all-in resulted in Markus Lehmann busting and Albert Mykhaylyuta tripling up.

Lehmann raised to 11,000 before Mykhaylyuta moved all-in for 17,000 and Lari Sihvo re-raisied to isolate. It didn't work as Lehmann called all-in to create a showdown.

Lehmann: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Mykhaylyuta: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Sihvo: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board ran {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Mykhaylyuta took the main pot, Sihvo the side and Lehmann headed off to collect his money.

Albert Mykhaylyuta Going, Going..Not Quite Gone.

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Markus Lehmann moved his last 33,000 over the line from his position on the button and after tanking for a while Albert Mykhaylyuta called in the big blind.

Lehmann{a-Spades} {j-Hearts}
Mykhaylyuta{k-Clubs} {10-Spades}

Board: {q-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}

Mykhaylyuta was left with only 4,000 chips.

In the very next hand Mykhaylyuta was in the big blind. Ronny Kaiser raised to 10,000 in early position and Jani Sointula called. The dealer sorted out the side pot and gave us a flop of {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Kaiser bet 12,000 and Sointula raised it up to 37,000 and Kaiser folded.

Sointula{3-Spades} {3-Clubs}
Mykhaylyuta{k-Spades} {10-Spades}

The turn was the {k-Clubs} and Mykhaylyuta took the lead. The river {7-Clubs} didn't change anything and Mykhaylyuta had tripled up to 16,000.

Palto Busto

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Ron Paltto's tournament is over after a blind versus blind battle with Liutauras Armanavicius. The latter raised to 22,500 first in from the small blind then quickly called as Paltto moved all in for 60,500.

Paltto: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Armanavicius: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Armanavicius improved to a set on the {9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop, which left Paltto drawing very thinly. He picked up some outs when the {k-Spades} landed on the turn but he was sent to the rail when the river was the {8-Spades}
