Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

Niklas Astedt raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Orpen Kisacikoglu shipped all in for 125,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Astedt made the call for a little bit more.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Niklas Astedt: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The flop of {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} gave both players a pair but Kisacikoglu was still out front with the pair of aces. The {8-Clubs} on the turn gave Astedt a straight draw but he didn't need it as the {j-Hearts} on the river gave him two pair. Kisacikoglu was eliminated and the final nine players will redraw to the final table now.

Adams Doubles Up Garagnani and Nesterov

Level 16 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

After just passing over a double-up to Pedro Garagnani for 213,000, Timothy Adams was back at it again. Teun Mulder raised to 30,000 on the button and Adams three-bet to 95,000 in the small blind. Jakov Nesterov four-bet shoved all in for 211,000 which got Mulder to fold but Adams called.

Timothy Adams: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} to give both players up-and-down straight draws. The {8-Hearts} on the turn provided some chop outs but the {2-Spades} on the river was a brick. Adams was forced to send over another double-up and is now one of the shorter stacks.
