Navarro Leaves Ning on Crumbs

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Zhi Yi Ning shoved all in for 505,000 in middle position and Pablo Navarro stuck in his last 475,000 from the hijack. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were face up.

Pablo Navarro: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Zhi Yi Ning: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} to provide some chop outs. The {q-Hearts} on the turn also gave Ning a flush draw but the {4-Diamonds} on the river bricked out and Navarro doubled up.

Ning More Than Triples

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Zhi Yi Ning moved all-in for the last 30,000 from under the gun and Pablo Navarro raised to 160,000 in the very next seat. Only Mauricio Ferreira Pais called in the big blind, then check-called Navarro's continuation bet worth 150,000 on the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop.

Ferreira Pais checked the {j-Hearts} turn and folded once Navarro made it 500,000 to go.

"I have the nuts," Ning replied and tabled the {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the queen-high straight. Navarro could improve with his {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} but bricked the {2-Spades} river to win the larger side pot.

Zhi Yi Ning Eliminated in 9th Place (€14,400)

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Zhi Yi Ning
Zhi Yi Ning

Ren Lin raised to 110,000 from the hijack and Zhi Yi Ning pondered his options in the big blind. He eventually stuck in his last 115,000 chips and Lin quickly called.

Zhi Yi Ning: {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Ren Lin: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Ning had an uphill battle and the flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} was of no immediate help. The {9-Clubs} on the turn left Ning drawing dead to the {5-Clubs} on the river and he was eliminated in ninth place.

A Chop and a Double

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ren Lin opened to 110,000 and Pedro Garagnani three-bet to 335,000 from the next seat in the hijack. Pablo Navarro then jammed for 1,290,000 and Lin folded, while Garagnani called a couple seconds after getting an exact count.

Pablo Navarro: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Pedro Garagnani: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop gave both players back door flush draws but it was Garagnani who freerolled the {9-Clubs} turn.

"Don't do it!" Navarro joked and the {7-Diamonds} river was a blank for them to chop.

"I had pocket jacks," Lin exclaimed in table chat.

One hand later, Kayhan Mokri raised to 100,000 from under the gun and called the three-bet shove by Tom Orpaz for 870,000.

Tom Orpaz: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Kayhan Mokri: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

It was a classic flip and Orpaz got there thanks to the {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} board. "Plays itself," he shrugged and scored the double, cutting Mokri's stack in half.

The action folded around to Nikita Kuznetsov in the small blind who shoved all in for around 500,000. Kayhan Mokri eyed up his opponent's stack before calling from the big blind.

Nikita Kuznetsov: {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Kayhan Mokri: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

The flop fell {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Mokri's pocket fours were still in the lead. Kuznetsov was unable to find any help on the {3-Hearts} and {7-Spades} runout, heading to the rail in eighth place.

Another Double Gives Orpaz the Lead

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Pedro Garagnani opened to 110,000 from under the gun and Tom Orpaz three-bet to 325,000 on the button. Garagnani called and the dealer spread the flop of {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

Garagnani checked to Orpaz who continued with a bet of 250,000. Garagnani check-raised all in and Orpaz instantly called off his stack of 1,515,000.

Tom Orpaz: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Pedro Garagnani: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The {a-Hearts} and {a-Spades} on the turn and river secured another double up for Orpaz who vaulted into the chip lead.

Marques Doubles Through Lin

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

It folded all the way to Ren Lin on the button and he raised to 500,000, which covered both shorter stacks in the blinds. Pedro Garagnani folded but Marques called all-in to set up the following showdown.

Andre Marques: {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Ren Lin: {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The superior hand remained ahead all the way on the {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} runout and Marques doubled.

Tom Orpaz then min-raised to 120,000 and Mauricio Ferreira Pais came along in the big blind. They checked the {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop and the German led the {8-Hearts} turn for 140,000. By then, Orpaz was involved in very jovial table chatter with Kayhan Mokri, seemingly not paying attention to what was happening.

"It's part of my hand, I don't care but actually do ... and then don't ..." before he sigh-folded, getting shown the {10-Hearts} by Ferreira Pais.
