Matuszewski Jams into Aces

Calum Grant

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mikhail Shalamov opened to 30,000 from under the gun and was called by Ranno Sootla from one seat over. Hubert Matuszewski then three-bet to 120,000 from the hijack. Eleftherios Sinnos used up a time bank before reraising to 275,000 from the button. The blinds, Shalamov and Sootla got out of the way, prompting Matuszewski to move all in for around 525,000. Sinnos snap-called and the cards went on their backs.

Hubert Matuszewski:A♦K♠ All in
Eleftherios Sinnos: A♥A♣

Matuszewski could only hope for a chop after the 7♦4♥5♣ flop and 3♣ turn. However, the J♠ river gave Sinnos the winner for the pot and elimination.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

On a flop of 8♥J♥10♣, Nichan Khorchidian had committed his stack of around 250,000 to the pot, and had been put at risk by Ukraine's Andriy Lyubovetskiy.

Nichan Khorchidian: Q♥10♥ All in
Andriy Lyubovetskiy: A♥7♥

Both had flopped flush draws, but it was Khorchidian who held the lead with his pair of tens and was the favorite to double up. However, things took a turn for the worst for Khorchidian on the A♠ turn, as Lyubovetskiy improved to top pair. Only a king, queen, ten, or a nine could save Khorchidian, and despite improving to a flush on the 4♥ river, Lyubovetskiy's flush was bigger.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Zhewen Hu moved all in for 145,000 in the small blind and Taago Tamm called in the big blind.

Zhewen Hu: K♣Q♦ All in
Taago Tamm: 10♠9♠

Hu was ahead going to the flop, which came A♥K♥8♦ to give him a pair of kings and an even bigger lead. The turn was the 6♦ as Tamm picked up a straight draw, and he completed his straight on the 7♥ river.

"Wow," Hu said, taking the beat in stride as he made his way to the exit.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Darius Gadeikis was down to 165,000, which he got in from the small blind against Anton Wigg on the button.

Darius Gadeikis: 8♠8♣ All in
Anton Wigg: Q♣9♠

The K♥7♠A♣ flop did not help Wigg, although the A♠ turn brought some counterfeit outs. The Q♠ gave Wigg a higher two pair than his opponent, sending Gadeikis home during the early stages of Day 4.

Nicola Cappellesso: K♠J♣ All in
Lander Lijo: A♠Q♥

Victoria Livschitz: A♥5♦ All in
Timo Kamphues: K♦10♦

The flop came 10♣8♠5♠ as Kamphues took the lead with a pair of tens. Livschitz needed to improve on her pair of fives but missed the 6♠ turn and 8♦ river as she was sent to the rail.

Short Day for Coelho

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Diogo Coelho was first to act and raised to 30,000. Roeland Peeks three-bet to 75,000 in the seat next to him, after which it folded back to Coelho. He four-bet jammed for 195,000 and was snapped off by Peeks.

Diogo Coelho: A♥Q♦ All in
Roeland Peeks: 10♠10♦

Coelho flopped additional outs on K♦J♠4♦, and he hit his gutshot on the 10♥ turn. It also gave Peeks a set, however, and he was upgraded to a full house on the 4♣ river to send Coelho to the rail.
