Turmezey Eliminates van Hoof

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Peter Turmezey open-shipped all in from the cutoff with three shorter stacks behind him left to act. Jorryt van Hoof was one of those players who called off his stack of less than 100,000 from the small blind.

Peter Turmezey: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Jorryt van Hoof: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The flop came {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} to give Turmezey the best hand currently but van Hoof picked up a straight flush draw. The turn was the {10-Spades} and van Hoof nudged his {4-Clubs} ahead, urging the dealer for a river card. However, it was the {j-Hearts} on the river that bricked off and van Hoof was eliminated.

Pardo Loses To Tang's Flopped Nuts

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Juan Pardo

Danny Tang was in the hijack and opened to 20,000, prompting a three-bet all in by Juan Pardo in the cutoff for the last of his chips. Action made its way back to Tang and he quickly called.

Juan Pardo: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Danny Tang: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

"The nuts!" said Tang as he rolled over his hand. The foreshadowing was real: the flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts} to give Tang the flopped nut straight, leaving Pardo in need of running cards to stay alive. The turn came {9-Diamonds}, giving Paro four direct outs to a full house on the river. Unfortunately for him, none would come as the river fell {2-Diamonds} to complete the runout and leave Pardo dry on chips as Tang scooped up the pot to bring him to 281,000.

Toan Claims a Straight

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Robbie Toan
Robbie Toan

Sam Grafton made it 35,000 to go from the small blind and Robbie Toan called from the big blind. The flop came {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {a-Clubs} on the turn.

Grafton led out for 18,000 and Toan stuck around to see the {j-Diamonds} on the river. Grafton fired out another bet of 28,000 only to have Toan raised to 100,000. With four cards to a straight on the board, Grafton ditched his cards.

"I called the turn and hit a gut-shot on the river," Toan announced.

"I had two jacks. That's hard to do," was Grafton's response.

"What Are You Slowrolling Me For?!"

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sam Grafton

Sam Grafton raised to 22,000 under the gun and Robbie Toan called from the hijack. All remaining players folded to take postflop action to the streets.

"You and me again?" asked Toan.

"Well, you try to outplay me every hand," responded Grafton. The flop came {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Grafton made a continuation-bet of 20,000. Toan quickly called.

The turn was {6-Clubs} and Grafton continued with another bet of 65,000. Toan immediately called to bring the river {5-Diamonds} on board. Grafton reached for chips and bet 45,000. Toan asked how much and the dealer confirmed.

"I shouldn't have called the second one," said Toan. "I call," he added immediately after.

Grafton tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

"Oh. Same hand," said Toan, showing {j-Spades}{10-Spades}. The dealer chopped up the pot and the hand was over but the banter was not.

"What do you think, I'm a fish?" asked Toan

"What are you slowrolling me for?!" responded Grafton with a joke. The two traded a few playful jabs thereafter with Grafton poking fun at Toan's complaining when he has hit so many hands today.

"You know this isn't Omaha," joked Grafton. "Top pair is a good hand in this game!" Toan laughed along with him and Grafton got back to business: "nice hand," he added in sincere fashion as the cards were in the air for the following hand.

Turmezey Gets Caught Bluffing

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was heads up between Ole Schemion in the big blind and Peter Turmezey, who was in the hijack. There was a small pile of chips in the middle with the board reading {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and both players checked. The river came {k-Hearts} and Schemion checked again. Turmezey fired out 80,000 and Schemion called.

Turmezey showed {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a pair of fives and Schemion tabled {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, good for the pot with his top pair.

Eibinger Doubles Through Ruijs

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Joris Ruijs raised it up from under the gun and Matthias Eibinger ripped all in for 103,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Ruijs who quickly called to put Eibinger at risk.

Matthias Eibinger: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Joris Ruijs: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Eibinger was still in the driver's seat, just looking to avoid an ace. The {7-Clubs} on the turn and the {6-Hearts} on the river improved Eibinger to a full house for a double up.

Peter Turmezey

The action folded to Peter Turmezey on the button who shoved all in for just over 140,000. Laurynas Levinskas quickly called after looking at his cards in the big blind.

Laurynas Levinskas: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Peter Turmezey: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Levinskas took the lead with a pair of aces. The turn was the {j-Diamonds} and the river was the {2-Hearts} to send Turmezey packing. The tournament is down to just two tables now and a full redraw will be conducted.
