Alexander Dovzhenko Eliminated by Jonathan Little

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Alexander Dovzhenko opened in middle position and shoved all in when he saw Jonathan Little three bet him from the button. Little made the call instantaneously and just a couple of hands after the break had ended, the first showdown was there.

Little had {J-Spades}{J-Spades}, and with that Dovzhenko's {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} completely dominated. Dovzhenko already got up from his seat and underwent the suffering from five bricks as community cards standing: {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. No luck for the experienced Dovzhenko who made his way to the exit.

Lundmark Doubles Katchalov

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

On a {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop both Eugene Katchalov's and Kent Lundmark's stack went into the middle. Katchalov was at risk but did have the best hand with {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. EPT Barcelona Season 7 winner Kent Lundmark tried to bust his strong opponent with {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} but needed a club or runner runner to do that.

The {2-Diamonds} on the turn was a blank and so was the {7-Spades} on the river. Katchalov doubled, Lundmark will have to do with about 70,000 less in chips.

Karakousis Takes It on the Turn

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Vanessa Selbst opened for 10,000 and was called on the button by Georgios Karakousis. Benjamin Pollak in the small blind raised to 38,000 and Selbst asked to see how much he was playing. When she was satisfied she made the call as did Karakousis. The flop was {5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and Pollak continued the aggression with a bet of 35,000. Selbst folded but Karakousis came along for the ride, Turn card {j-Spades} and Pollack checked. Karakousis counted out some chips and bet 60,000 which elicited a deep sigh from Pollak who showed {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and folded followed by a fair bit of head shaking frustration from both Pollak and Selbst. Karakousis didn’t seem to notice and gathered in the pot.

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Team PokerStars Pro Isaac Haxton had successfully shoved under-the-gun in the previous hand with his short stack of around 60,000. Now he had called a bet sitting in the big blind from Benjamin Pollak’s late position raise. The flop was {q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}. Haxton checked and when Pollak bet 22,000 Haxton moved all in and was snapped off by Pollak’s {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Haxton needed help with his {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} but it was not to be as the turn{3-Diamonds} and river {5-Hearts} eliminated him from the high roller.

Juha Helppi Eliminated at the Hands of Emil Ohlsson

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Juha Helppi opened the cutoff for 10,000 and got a three bet from Emil Ohlsson in the small blind. Ohlsson made it 26,000 to go and that made Helppi shove. Ohlsson made the call as soon as he found out it wasn't all that much more to him.

Ohlsson had {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} which was a dog up against Helppi's {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}. The flop brought no direct help yet with {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades} but the {3-Hearts} on the turn did. The {10-Hearts} on the river was a blank and Helppi got up from the table and left.

Khoroshenin Makes the Call

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Steve O’Dwyer was in the small blind and Oleksii Khoroshenin was the big blind as the two of them had reached the river on a board reading {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. O’Dwyer checked and Khoroshenin bet 17,000 only to face a check-raise from O’Dwyer to 50,000. Khoroshenin puzzled over this for a few minutes but decided to make the call with his {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. He had successfully picked off O’Dwyer’s bluff with {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

Seth Squeezes out Selbst and Heinzelmann

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Max Heinzelmann opened to 12,000 from under-the-gun and two seats along Andy Seth made the call. It then folded to Vanessa Selbst in the cut-off and she three-bet to 31,000. Back on Heinzelmann he asked for a count of Selbst's stack and she lifted her hands to reveal her stack, it looked to be in the region of 200,000. The German smooth called but Seth did not. Instead he raised to 88,000 and both Selbst and Heinzelmann folded.

Finger Eliminates Cymbaluk

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Martin Finger opened to 10,000 from middle position and received two callers. Glen Cymbaluk on the button came along and Mike McDonald in the big blind invested another 5,000 as well.

{6-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

McDonald checked to Finger who made a 21,000 continuation bet. Cymbaluk shoved all in and McDonald folded immediately. As fast as McDonals folded, so fast did Finger call. The EPT Prague winner had flopped his set with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Cymbaluk had "Just a diamond flush draw".

The {7-Hearts} on the turn was red but not the right suit. The {10-Clubs} on the river was a blank and a couple of spots before the money Glen Cymbaluk departed the tournament.
