Bogdanov Busts Two

Frank Visser

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Newey had open-jammed for 90,000 from the hijack and Marius Kudzmanas had thrown in his stack of 124,000 on the button. Yulian Bogdanov called in the small blind, covering both players.

Paul Newey: A♥Q♠ All in
Marius Kudzmanas: A♦Q♥ All in
Yulian Bogdanov: 6♦4♦

Bogdanov paired up on the 9♥5♥6♣ flop. Newey and Kudzmanas needed to hit a pair to chop the pot, but they could not do so on the 3♣K♣ runout, and both handed over their bounty chips to Bogdanov.

At another table, Julien Sitbon also took his exit from the tournament.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Joao Tomas limped in from early position and Elias Gutierrez called in the small blind. Nikita Kuznetsov checked his big blind and a flop of 8♠10♣6♥ was dealt.

Gutierrez checked before Kuznetsov tossed in his last 40,000. Tomas called but Gutierrez decided to fold, creating a showdown.

Nikita Kuznetsov: J♠10♦ All in
Joao Tomas: K♥8♥

Kuznetsov's top pair held on the 2♦5♦ runout and doubled held. Afterwards, he asked if Gutierrez would have won the hand had he called, but the latter admitted he also would have lost.

One hand later, Kuznetsov's chips flew in again, but this time it resulted in his elimination from the tournament.

Joao Tomas	330,000 -20,000	-20,000
Elias Gutierrez	172,000 -208,000	-208,000

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Vladimir Korzinin limped from under the gun, and Vicente Delgado pumped it up to 33,000 from the next seat. Action folded back to Korzinin, who called.

On the 7♣5♠4♣ flop, Korzinin check-called versus a bet of 50,000 from Delgado.

The Q♣ rolled off on the turn, and Korzinin checked once more, leading to Delgado firing out a bet of 75,000.

Korzinin took some time for thought, before producing a three-bet jam with the covering stack. Delgado quickly got the remainder of his stack, around 210,000 total, into the middle.

Vicente Delgado: 9♣9♠ All in
Vladimir Korzinin: A♠Q♦

Delgado was behind with a pair of nines versus Korzinin's turned top pair queens. Delgado still had outs to the flush or a nine, but the J♦ river was a brick.

Jareth East and Zhendong Li were also seen exiting the tournament area after busting.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Joao Tomas had opened preflop in the cutoff, getting calls from Tom Vogelsang on the button and Nicolas Betbese in the big blind. The 3♠8♦Q♠ flop checked through before the 5♦ turn was checked to Vogelsang again.

He bet 20,000, to which Betbese folded. Tomas took some time and then threw in 80,000 for a raise. Vogelsang quickly folded as he saw his neighbor chip up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tom Vogelsang	740,000 -10,000	-10,000

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Tom Vogelsang opened to 16,000 from early position, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 101,000 by Felipe Ketzer in middle position.

Action folded to Mehdi Chaoui in the small blind, who rejammed for 173,000. Vogelsang asked for a count, before making the call, covering both players.

Felipe Ketzer: A♥10♣ All in
Mehdi Chaoui: A♣Q♠ All in
Tom Vogelsang: 3♠2♠

Chaoui was ahead, and when Vogelsang saw his opponent's cards, he said "I knew it, no pair!".

The flop came 10♥7♦2♦ to put Ketzer in front with a pair of tens, but Vogelsang went ahead when he improved to trips on the 2♣ turn, the 9♣ river completing the board.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tom Vogelsang	650,000 278,000	278,000

Adrian Mateos: K♥J♠ All in
Sonny Franco: A♣9♦

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action was caught on a turn of 5♦7♠K♠7♦. Aleksejs Ponakovs checked from the big blind in a pot of 139,000. Nicolas Betbese then made a tiny bet of 13,000 in the cutoff, which Ponakovs called.

The 9♣ river was quickly checked down. Ponakovs tabled 9♥5♠, and his nines and sevens took down the pot when Betbese shook his head and tossed his cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Aleksejs Ponakovs	260,000 85,000	85,000
