Thorel into the Chip Lead

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Amidst a flurry of activity which saw Iliya Iliev stretch his lead, Jean-Noel Thorel bet 400,000 on a {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop with three players left to act.

Two folded but the third was Johan Creutz and he raised all in for around 900,000. Thorel called.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Johan Creutz: {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

"Too many outs?" pondered Creutz allowed. And so it proved to be on the {k-Spades}{3-Spades} run out which saw Thorel move up over six million in chips, just behind Iliev.

Barakovics Out With Deuces

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The flop was {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and there was about 400,000 in the middle when Zsolt Barakovics moved all in for about 250,000. Ut Tam Vo thought about it for a bit before calling with {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. It turned out that it was the right decision as he saw Barakovics open up {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

The turn and river were both bricks and Tam Vo celebrated while Barakovics was sent to the rail.

Constantin Misstep Sees Him Eliminated

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Iliya Iliev
Iliya Iliev

A player raised from early position and got calls from Iliya Iliev before Adrian Constantin three-bet to 425,000 from the big blind. Both players called and the flop came {a-}{q-}{j-}.

Constantin then moved all in for 1,300,000. The initial raiser folded and Iliev called.

Adrian Constantin: {k-}{k-}
Iliya Ilev: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

Constantin had made a move at the wrong time to run into the top pair of Iliev. The turn {3-} and river {4-} didn't help Constantin and he was eliminated.

Lesniewski Eliminated After Long Tank

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The board read {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Hearts} and there was already over a million in the pot. Boris Mondrus had checked from the hijack to Marcin Lesniewski in the cutoff and he had bet 550,000. Mondrus came over the top with an all-in bet of effectively 1,400,000, putting Lesniewski all in.

Lesniewski disappeared in the tank for multiple minutes before having the clock called on him. With about ten seconds left he called with {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, but he was drawing very thin against the {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} of Mondrus.

The river was the {4-Spades} and Lesniewski was sent packing.

Charlie Carrel
Charlie Carrel

Charlie Carrel raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Nikita Staroverov defended his big blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

"Did you see my hand?" Carrel suddenly asked.

Staroverov appeared surprised.

"Now I don't know if you are f*cking with me or not!" said Carrel. Staroverov checked and Carrel bet 100,000. "Did you see the ten?" Carrel said with a grin.

Staroverov called and the turn was the {k-Clubs}. This time Staroverov check-folded.

Carrel took the pot down.

"You had a ten or not?" asked Staroverov.

"I don't want to make you feel bad!" said Carrel.
