Georgios Kitsios - Hirotaka Nakanishi

Georgios Kitsios put his last 83,000 in the middle from early position and small blind Sasan Tabib pushed all in as well. Maria Lampropulos folded her big blind and they had to wait until the action on the outer tables had concluded.

Kitios had {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and he was in good shape against the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Tabib. He doubled up after the board ran out {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}.

The very next hand he doubled up again with {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} against {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

Huidong Gu
Huidong Gu

Thomas Muehloecker raised to 11,000 from early position and cutoff Julien Bolimowski three-bet to 34,000. Huidong Gu sat on the button and he pushed his last 110,000 to the middle.

Muehloecker got out of the way but Bolimowski called when he had confirmed how much the all-in bet was for.

Bolimowski was behind with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} against the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} of Gu and he wasn't able to catch up on the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{3-Spades} board.

Aylar Lie in a previous event

Aylar Lie and Enrico Rudelitz got their chips in the middle and Lie was the player at risk. It was her {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} against the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

The flop fell {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and both flopped a straight, but Rudelitz suddenly had a royal flush draw. Lie faded a bunch of outs on the {k-Diamonds} turn and {7-Spades} river and she escaped from elimination by chopping the pot.

Yosifof Eliminated by Karmatckii

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Huidong Gu raised to 12,000 from late position and small blind Arsenii Karmatckii moved all in for a bit over 150,000. Big blind Dimitar Yosifov called for his tournament life and initial raiser Gu got out of the way.

Karmatckii had {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} and he was in bad shape against the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} of Yosifov.

The board, however, ran out with four hearts looking like {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Yosifov was sent to the rail after a nasty bad beat.
