Schemion Flops a Set

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Ka Kwan Lau opened under the gun to 170,000 with {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and received calls from Ole Schemion on the button ({10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}) and Julian Track in the big blind ({6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}).

The flop was good for Schemion in that it gave him a set: {10-Clubs}{K-Spades}{A-Hearts}. It was also bad for him in that none of his opponents had anything at all. They checked to him and after his 250,000 bet both gentlemen folded.

Zdravko Duvnjak Eliminated in 7th Place (€118,200)

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Zdravko Duvnjak
Zdravko Duvnjak

Kroatian player Zdravko Duvnjak open shoved from the cutoff. He got a call from Ole Schmion in the big blind and a 2.8 million pot was at stake. Schemion showed {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} which dominated the hearts Duvnjak had as well with {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop was as bad as they could come for Duvnjak. After the {K-Spades} on the turn Duvnjak was already drawing dead and he shook hands with the players before exiting the stage. The {4-Spades} on the river was just a formality.

Zdravko Duvnjak takes home €118,200. He told us he's thinking about going to the PCA in January so we might see him there.

Sotiropoulos Doubles Through Chidwick

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick opened to 160,000 with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} on the button. Ole Schemion quickly folded his small blind but Georgios Sotiropoulos in the big blind went for it with {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. He shoved his stack into the middle and Chidwick made the instant call.

Chidwick his ace was again dominated. The {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{A-Spades} flop helped both make a pair but the situation was unchanged. The {J-Clubs} on the turn was everything but a blank but the {A-Diamonds} effectively was. Both made trips but the kicker still played.
