Kyte Sends Adamzski to the Rail

Maxime Taldir

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

After Jon Kyte opened to 22,000 from the hijack, Tamas Adamszki moved all in for 153,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Kyte went into the tank before calling.

Tamas Adamszki: A♥10♦
Jon Kyte: K♠10♠

"Six is ok, I don't want the king" said Kyte when the dealer fanned a flop of 7♦9♠8♣. After the turn 10♣, the K♥ landed on the river to eliminate Adamszki from the tournament.

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

Heads-up on a flop of K♣8♠J♦, Romain Retiere bet 24,000 from the cutoff before Adi Neigauz moved all in for 118,000 in the big blind. Retiere used a time bank before calling to put Neigauz at risk.

Adi Neigauz: J♠10♠
Romain Retiere: A♣K♠

Retiere was ahead with a pair of kings against Neigauz's pair of jacks. The 3♦ turn was no help to Neigauz, while Retiere improved to two pair on the A♦ river to take the pot and send Neigauz to the rail.

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

Andrii Derzhypilskyi was all in for 203,000 from the big blind and up against Mark Helou in the cutoff.

Andrii Derzhypilskyi: 10♣10♥
Mark Helou: A♠J♠

Helou took the lead on the J♣2♠K♦ flop with a pair of jacks, and the 7♣ turn and Q♦ river were no help to Derzhypilskyi who was sent to the rail.

"Good I checked the river. I can shove easily and I go broke" Helou said, still discussing his previous hand with his tablemates as he raked in the pot.

At the same time at another table, Eugenio Sanchioni was all in for around 130,000 from the button on a flop of 8♣9♣3♠ and up against Maria Lampropulos in early position.

Eugenio Sanchioni: A♦9♦
Maria Lampropulos: 9♥8♥

Sanchioni had top pair, but Lampropulos had two pair and stayed in front on the 10♥ turn and K♦ river to send Sanchioni to the exit.

Katzenberger Busts

Dan O'Hair

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

Viktor Katzenberger shoved for his last 16,000 from under the gun and "John One" three-bet to 35,000 from the cutoff. Adria Diaz cold four-bet to 90,000 on the button and "John One" called.

"John One" check-called a 40,000 bet from Diaz on the 10♦5♥6♣ flop and then check-raised all in after facing a 115,00 bet from Diaz on the Q♥ turn. Diaz folded and a showdown was held.

Viktor Katzenberger: A♣4♥
"John One": Q♦Q♠

Katzenberger was already drawing dead against the set of "John One" and an irrelevant 4♠ completed the board — making Katzenberger's elimination official.

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

Eduardo Lopes Pereira raised to 20,000 in middle position before Arthur Thiriart three-bet to 95,000 in the small blind, leaving himself around 10,000 behind. Lopes Pereira then moved all in.

Thiriart began looking around the room and tanking until the floor was called over. He burned through several time banks before the tournament official alerted him he was going on the clock. Thiriart then called off his last chips.

Arthur Thiriart: A♦Q♦
Eduardo Lopes Pereira: A♠K♠

The 9♦8♥2♥3♣J♠ board didn't help Thiriart, the start-of-day chip leader, was sent to the rail.

Maxime Taldir

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

Silius Moll opened to 16,000 from under the gun and only Firoz Mangroe called from the big blind.

Moll continued with a bet of 9,000 on the A♣3♥J♦ flop. Mangroe check-raised to 32,000. Moll went into the tank and had to use a time bank card to make a decision. At the end of the 30 extra seconds he had, he shoved for approximately 70,000 chips, and Mangroe snap-called.

Silius Moll: K♣K♠
Firoz Mangroe: A♦J♣

Moll called with kings, but Mangroe hit two pair on the flop. The turn 3♣ and the river 8♠ didn't change anything, so Moll was eliminated.

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

Leo Margets was moved to a new table and took a seat to the left of Omar Eljach.

"Welcome, lady," tablemate Firoz Mangroe told her as Eljach raised to 18,000 under the gun. Margets then three-bet to 45,000 and Eljach folded once action got back to him.

Georgios Kostakis then moved all in from early position as action folded to Eljach. "Good start," he said, peeling his cards, but he eventually folded as Kostakis showed A♠Q♠.

Kostakis then moved all in again the next hand, this time for 160,000 under the gun, and the table folded to Margets in the big blind. She and Kostakis looked at her cards together and she snap-called.

Georgios Kostakis: A♠Q♥
Leo Margets: A♣K♣

Margets had Kostakis covered, and he couldn't catch up on the 10♦6♠2♦9♥5♣ board as he was sent to the rail just before the break.

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 20,000 on the button, Ka Kwan Lau three-bet to 80,000 in the big blind, and O'Dwyer called.

The flop came K♠J♥8♥ and Lau bet 60,000. O'Dwyer then raised to 180,000 and Lau called.
