Nasreddine Rivers a Boat and Eliminates Sinclair

Kai Cocklin

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jack Sinclair limped in from the small blind and Rania Nasreddine made it 150,000 out of the big blind. Sinclair called.

They saw a flop of 5♦2♠K♦ which was checked through to the 2♣ turn. Sinclair bet 200,000, and Nasreddine quickly called.

A 10♠ landed on the river and Sinclair fired a big bet of 575,000, and Nasreddine took some time before she made it 1,200,000. Sinclair had 620,000 remaining in his stack and after talking to himself for a while, he put in the rest and called.

Nasreddine showed that she had rivered a full house with 10♦10♣, and Sinclair's trip deuces with A♥2♥ went down in flames.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A huge three-way all in just took place at the secondary feature table resulting in the demise of Nick Palma.

Palma was all-in for approximately 600,000 on the button versus Tomasz Krzesinski in the small blind who had the covering stack, with Javey Timmer all in from the big blind for about 1,300,000.

Nick Palma: 6♥6♠ All in
Javey Timmer:K♦K♣ All in
Tomasz Krzesinski: A♥K♠

The flop came Q♥J♠10♠, immediately giving Krzesinski Broadway to leave both opponents on the verge of elimination.

The turn A♠ however saved Timmer, also giving him Broadway. Palma was dead to a chop and the Q♦ river confirmed his elimination while his two executioners chopped up his chips.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After a stretch of eight straight hands without a flop at Table 3, business picked up in a big way as after Nick Palma opened to 60,000 from the button, Oscar Mas moved all in for 460,000 from the small blind.

Javey Timmer was in the big blind and asked for a count. He used a time bank and then moved all in for just under two million.

Palma quickly folded and Mas was at risk.

Oscar Mas: 7♥7♣ All in
Javey Timmer: A♠A♥

"They say it's always coming seven in Barcelona," commented Palma before the dealer spread the flop which indeed came as he predicted, falling 8♠7♠4♣.

Mas was in cruise control until the A♣ fell on the turn gave Timmer a set of aces to regain the lead.

The 10♦ completed the board and Mas was eliminated in heartbreaking fashion.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A massive preflop raising war has just seen Stephen Song eliminate Timothy Chung while rocketing back to the top of the chip counts.

Song opened in middle position to 60,000 and was three-bet to 200,000 by Chung on the button. Song came back with a four-bet to 535,000, but they were just getting started.

Chung then five-bet clicked it to 875,000, but then Song six-bet jammed and Chung called with both players holding roughly 3,000,000 chips, but Song had Chung covered.

Timothy Chung: K♠K♦ All in
Stephen Song: A♥A♠

The board came J♥10♣4♠6♣Q♣ as Song's aces held to eliminate Chung and win the massive pot.

Defending champion Simon Wiciak was all-in and at risk for around 900,000 against Andrew Hulme.

Simon Wiciak: A♥K♣ All in
Andrew Hulme: Q♣Q♥

Wiciak took a big lead on the flop of 8♦2♦A♣ and the 4♣ turn didn't change anything. But the dealer then put down the Q♠ river and those at the table groaned as Hulme improved to put a tough beat on the Frenchman.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Alexandre Fournier raised to 50,000 from the hijack and Piero Alioto three-bet the cutoff to 150,000. Rania Nasreddine then four-bet from the small blind to 500,000. Fournier folded, and Alioto committed his stack of 445,000 to the pot which left him at risk.

Piero Alioto: 9♠9♣ All in
Rania Nasreddine: J♦J♣

The flop of A♥Q♦K♦ changed nothing, and neither did the 6♥ turn as Alioto was down to his last chance of survival. No help arrived on the 4♥ river which meant Alioto was eliminated with the rest of his chips being added to Nasreddine's stack.
