Jungevicius and Saout Bust

Patrick Cole

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kestutis Jungevicius jammed all in in the small blind and was called by Igor Pihela in the big blind.

Kestutis Jungevicius: A♥5♦
Igor Pihela: 6♦6♥

The flop of 5♥4♥3♥ gave Jungevicius a straight draw and the nut flush draw, and Pihela an open-ended straight flush draw.

Pihela's pocket pair made a straight on the 7♣ turn, leaving Jungevicius drawing to only a heart. The J♣ river confirmed Jungevicius's exit from the tournament.

Just as that hand was finishing, Antoine Saout was eliminated in 24th place at a nearby table.

There are 23 players left and the three table redraw has been completed.

The 4♠ fell and the action checked to Troyanovskiy, who bet out 85,000. Bilan folded and Rajkovic called.

The 3♥ landed on the river and Rajkovic checked and then folded to a bet of 75,000 from Troyanovskiy.

Patrick Cole

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Pavlos Xanthopoulos opened under the gun to 20,000. Tamer Kamel called in the cutoff and Benjamin Spragg reraised to 80,000.

After a minute in the tank, Xanthopoulos three-bet all in for 800,000. Kamel folded his hand and Spraggy snap called.

Benjamin Spragg: K♣K♠
Pavlos Xanthopoulos: J♠J♣

The 6♠3♣2♥ flop was safe for "Spraggy's" kings, but the J♦ turn left him drawing to the two kings left in the deck. The river 5♣ confirmed Spragg's exit. He said: "not my table," as he stood up, before wishing the rest of the table "good luck."

Player	Chips	Progress
Pavlos Xanthopoulos	1,200,000 360,000	360,000

Alejandro Lococo raised to 16,000 from under the gun, Gab Yong Kim called in the cutoff, as did Benjamin Spragg on the button and the big blind.

All four players checked the 6♠4♣7♣ flop to see the K♣ turn. The action checked to Yong Kim who bet out for 22,000, Spragg called, the big blind folded and Lococo check-raised to 94,000. Yong Kim called and Spragg got out of the way.

The 6♦ river saw Lococo move all in for approximately 290,000. Yong Kim made a swift fold.

Tyler Foran

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Hwany Lee shoved for about 50,000 in the cutoff, and Juan Carlos Vecino pushed his entire stack of about 440,000 across the line from the button, forcing both the blinds out of the pot.

Hwany Lee: A♦10♦
Juan Carlos Vecino: 7♣7♥

It was a flip but the K♥K♦7♠ flop gave Vecino a full house. The A♣ turn gave Lee some life but the 6♥ river was a brick as he left the table.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With over 400,000 chips in the middle, both Razvan Sabau who was all-in, and Georgios Zachmanidis patiently waited for the floor to say they could open their cards. Eventually, they were given the go-ahead.

Razvan Sabau: A♥J♦
Georgios Zachmanidis: K♥J♣

Sabau had Zachmanidis dominated, but unfortunately for him the K♠3♥3♠ flop hit Zachmanidis' only live card and Sabau couldn't find an ace as the dealer completed the board with the 2♠ turn, and 2♥ river.

Straight Flush vs Nut Flush On Stone Bubble, No One Busts

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ollie Garland

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Two players were looking at a full board that read J♠8♠7♠A♦6♦.

The action was caught as Nikolaos Iliakis, in middle position, was facing a bet of 80,000 from Juan Carlos Vecino, in the hijack. Iliakis thought for some time, explaining out loud as he did so. Given it was the stone bubble and "anything is possible", Iliakis decided to just flat call the bet, leaving himself 60,000 behind.

Vecino tabled 10♠9♠ for a flopped straight flush, while Iliakis showed A♠Q♠ for a flopped nut flush. Much to the whole tournament floor's amazement, Iliakis' flat call saved him from being the stone bubble.

Player	Chips	Progress
Juan Carlos Vecino	365,000 -125,000	-125,000
Nikolaos Iliakis	60,000 -140,000	-140,000
