"Ratman" Echoes Through Tournament Room as Caballo Pena Exits Late

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Francisco Caballo Pena got his stack of 75,000 in from the cutoff against Lucien Cohen in the big blind.

Francisco Caballo Pena: 10♥10♣ All in
Lucien Cohen: A♥K♠

"I am the Ratman," Cohen screamed as loud as he could when the A♠K♥A♦ flop gave him a full house. The 4♦ turn locked up the pot for the Frenchman, and the A♣ river gave him quads as the cherry on top.

Caballo Pena was a good sport and the two players shook hands before Caballo Pena exited the tournament area as one of the final departures of Day 2.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Artem Kotkovskyi opened to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by Jakub Michalak from the cutoff. Aimar Gonzalez put in his last 14,000 from the big blind, prompting Kotkovskyi to jam for around 300,000. Michalak immediately exhaled, but opted to put in stack of around 200,000.

Aimar Gonzalez: K♦7♦All in
Jakub Michalak: A♠J♠All in
Artem Kotkovskyi: 10♥10♣

The three players all picked up a bit of something on the A♦J♣10♦ flop. Gonzalez had a straight and flush draw while Michalak had top two pair. Kotkovskyi, however, remained ahead with a set of tens.

The 8♦ turn gave Gonzalez the flush, with the Q♣ river giving him an unnecessary straight for the main pot. Kotkovskyi took the much bigger side pot and eliminated Michalak.

Ren Lin raised to 8,000 under the gun. The action folded to Damir Zhugralin in the big blind, who three-bet to 35,000. Lin quickly shoved all in for 180,000 and was snapped off by Zhugralin.

Ren Lin: 2♠2♥ All in
Damir Zhugralin: K♠K♥

Lin begged for a deuce before the 10♠3♣A♥ flop fell. The 4♠ turn changed his mind, and he started asking for a five instead. However, the river fell the 8♣, cementing Lin's exit from the tournament — the exception to the rule that "Deuces Never Looses."

Nicolas Vayssieres had gotten his 37,000 in from the small blind against Georgios Skarparis in the big blind.

Nicolas Vayssieres: 8♠8♦ All in
Georgios Skarparis: A♦A♣

The 2♠7♥A♥ flop left Vayssieres with little hope. The K♦ turn sealed his fate and he headed out as soon as the K♣ river was dealt.

Przemyslaw Cebrat was all in for around 125,000 and at risk versus Georgios Tsouloftas.

Przemyslaw Cebrat: Q♠Q♥ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♣K♠

It was the classic race, and the K♣J♠3♠ flop soon put Tsouloftas in front with a pair of kings, a lead he did not relinquish on the 7♣ turn and 4♦ river.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Around 100,000 was in the middle on a completed board of A♦7♦6♥K♣10♣, in a hand between Jesse Spatuzzi on the button, and Ryhor Karapanau in the big blind.

Karapanau checked, and Spatuzzi moved all in for 172,000, covering Karapanau, who had around 150,000 left behind.

After a significant period of time thinking, Karapanau made the call. He tabled A♥Q♠ for a pair of aces, but Spatuzzi had 9♠8♦ for the rivered ten-high straight, sending Karapanau to the payout desk.

Alexander Tkatschew was all in for 70,000 under the gun and Tomas Vaskunas had his 44,000 in the middle in the cutoff. Big blind Dick Postel had called them with the covering stack, leading to a three-way showdown.

Tomas Vaskunas: 9♥9♦ All in
Alexander Tkatschew: A♦K♣ All in
Dick Postel: Q♠Q♣

Postel's ladies faced no issues on the 5♠10♣8♠J♦3♥ runout, eliminating both Tkatschew and Vaskunas shortly after the bubble.
