Crot Sends Smiljkovic to the Rail

Ollie Garland

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player in early position opened to 3,000, Daniel Smiljkovic three-bet to 9,000 from the hijack and William Crot four-bet to 21,000 from the big blind. The original raiser folded, Smiljkovic moved all in and Crot called.

Daniel Smiljkovic: A♥K♠
William Crot: 10♠10♥

The board ran out 10♣2♠J♣3♣5♠; Crot's flopped set was more than enough to send Smiljkovic to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Abhinav Iyer moved all in from early position with a short stack. Parker Talbot was on the same table and commented on how his fellow player had already made a comeback from less than one big blind.

Ashley Crepiat was the only player to call Iyer's shove and had him well covered as players turned their cards.

Abhinav Iyer: J♥J♣
Ashley Crepiat: A♦10♦

It looked like Iyer was about to well and truly make it back into the game, but the board ran out 3♦5♣A♠8♥2♦ to give Crepiat a pair of aces. He won the pot and Iyer, despite a valiant comeback effort, was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jensen Bernard had a coin flip preflop with the A♦K♥, as Andreia-Elena Coman looked him up with the 9♠9♦.

The K♦5♦4♠ flop improved the Belgian to the superior pair and he remained ahead with the 10♦ turn.

However, the 9♣ river gave Coman a set of nines to spell the end for Bernard.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Christophe Julien raised to 2,500 from middle position and picked up a call from the players on the button and in the big blind before Tiago Aguiarramos reraised to 13,000 from the big blind. Julien then four-bet all in for 38,000 and Ramos made the call with the bigger stack.

Players flipped their cards for the all-in:

Christophe Julien: A♦10♦
Tiago Aguiarramos: A♣K♦

The board ran out 3♦5♣A♠8♥2♦. Both players paired their ace. Aguiarramos held with his king-high kicker to win the pot, chipping up to close to 150,000. Julien was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tiago Aguiarramos opened 2,400 under the gun, and Bhavin Khatri moved all-in for 3,600 on the button. Otmane El Fquir was in the big blind and questioned if the door was going to be open for Aguiarramos before making the call. It was indeed open, but Aguiarramos didn't put in another raise as he tossed in a call as well.

The 9♣3♦2♣ flop was checked through to the Q♠ turn, where El Fquir quickly check-folded to a bet of 2,500 from Aguiarramos, forcing both remaining hands to be turned on their backs.

Bhavin Khatri: A♥J♥
Tiago Aguiarramos: Q♦J♦

Khatri couldn't pull ahead as the K♠ completed the board, eliminating him from the tournament.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With some 32,000 in the middle to the A♣5♦3♥7♦K♠ river, Fabian Niederreiter moved all-in. Mathieu Choffardet riffled the 17,000 chips he had behind and went into the tank, so long that the clock was called on him.

During the additional thirty seconds, Choffardet called with the K♦Q♦ for a turned flush draw and rivered pair of kings. It was no good, as Niederreiter held 3♣3♠ for the flopped set.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river on a board of A♥2♣4♣3♠J♠ when Dan Laidlaw shoved all in for less than 20,000 chips. Leandro Dirlewanger eventually made the call with the bigger stack.

Laidlaw turned over Q♣4x for a low pair that he'd turned into a bluff. He got up to take his leave as Dirlewanger tabled A♦A♠ for a set of aces to win the pot.
