Big Stacks Battle It Out

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Philip Shing
Philip Shing

Three players were battling it out in a pot worth over 70,000 already. The board read {2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and it got checked to Philip Shing on the button, who put out a bet of 42,000. Big blind Christopher Dowling called, but Nikita Kuznetsov folded from middle position.

The river fell {k-Spades} and Dowling checked to Shing. Shing thought for a while before eventually deciding on a bet of 135,000, which quickly got called by Dowling.

Dowling got shown the {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} by Shing for the straight and quickly mucked his cards.

However, Shing would lose a chunk of his stack against Arnaud Enselme. The pot on the {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} board had ballooned. Shing jammed and Enselme called off his last 121,000 on the river. Enselme had a set with his {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for the best hand.

Boutboul Exits with a €5,000 Bounty

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Bernard Boutboul shoved all in from under the gun for 93,000 and Amel Husnic received a count before he called on the button. The blinds got out of the way and the two hands were face up.

Bernard Boutboul: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Amel Husnic: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Boutboul rose to his feet for the flop of {j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts} that put a sour look on his face. The {k-Diamonds} on the turn and the {10-Clubs} on the river was not enough for Boutboul to overcome the deficit as he slammed his fist on the table. With one bounty chip in hand, he headed to the bounty chest and managed to pull a €5,000 bounty on his way out.

Kuznetsov Finds Another Double

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

After finding a double-up on the stone bubble, Nikita Kuznetsov was all-in again for his tournament life.

He raised to 76,000 from the cutoff, leaving 1,000 behind. Simeon Spasov jammed as the big stack from the big blind and his opponent committed his last chip.

Nikita Kuznetsov: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Simeon Spasov: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Kuznetsov's better ace remained best as the board ran out with the {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Ben Haim Spins Up a Stack; Shohet Eliminated

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gabriel Shohet
Gabriel Shohet

Marvin Ben Haim was all in as the short stack just a few hands ago but managed to triple up and then double up into a stack of more than 200,000 chips.

After Day 1 chip leader Gabriel Shohet was moved to the table, he got the last of his chips in the middle along with Aleksandr Shevliakov. Ben Haim had both players covered and called.

Aleksandr Shevliakov: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Gabriel Shohet: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Marvin Ben Haim: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Ben Haim took the lead with the best pair of kings on the flop. The {10-Hearts} and {6-Spades} runout changed nothing and Ben Haim scored the double knockout.

Souria Doubles Dominguez, Busts Shortly After

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Benjamin Souria opened the action by putting all of his 108,000 chips in from middle position. Small blind Jose Ruiz Dominguez called and after a count, it turned out to be for less than Souria's stack, namely 99,000. The big blind folded and the two players' cards were tabled.

Jose Ruiz Dominguez: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Benjamin Souria: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

A tall task for Souria's ace-jack. After he flopped some hope on {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{5-Spades}, the {9-Clubs} turn and {5-Clubs} river ultimately disappointed him, doubling Dominguez.

Souria was left with only 16,000 chips, which were automatically all-in from the big blind a few hands later. He got heads-up versus Xia Wang, but his {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} could not beat the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} of Wang on the board of {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, forcing his exit from the tournament.

Sevens, Eights, Nines

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Luc Bindel shoved all in with the shortest stack of around 60,000 and Kenny Deffrasnes reshoved all in on his left. Alexandre Hocquaux also put the last of his 80,000 chips in the middle and all three hands were tabled.

Luc Bindel: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Kenny Deffrasnes: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Alexandre Hocquaux: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

A clean board of {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Diamonds} was spread across the felt and Bindel managed to triple up. Deffrasnes collected Hocquaux's bounty, who bowed out with the smallest of the three pairs.

Veldhuis Gets a Double

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Lex Veldhuis
Lex Veldhuis

Lex Veldhuis was down to 65,000 chips and he put them all in from the button after a cutoff raise from Lander Lijo. The rest of the table folded and Lijo made the call after approximating Veldhuis' stack.

Lex Veldhuis: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Lander Lijo: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

A flip to win for Veldhuis, which he did on {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, rivering a set to lock up the pot. Lijo was left with the exact amount Veldhuis pushed into the pot.
