Spragg Shows Shestakov the Goods

Dan O'Hair

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

Benjamin Spragg opened to 3,500 from the hijack and was called by Andrii Shestakov in the small blind and Eric Luong in the big blind.

Action checked to Spragg on the A♥8♠6♠ flop and he continued for 3,000. Only Shestakov called.

Both players checked on the 6♣ turn and Shestakov led out for 10,500 after the Q♣ completed the board. Spragg announced he was all in, which was enough to put Shestakov all in for approximately his last 40,000.

Shestakov tanked a while, but eventually announced a call. Spragg tabled Q♦Q♠ for a rivered full house and Shestakov showed he held A♦10♦ as he stood up from the table.

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

Benjamin Spragg opened to 3,500 from early position and Eric Luong called from the small blind. Stian Knutsen then shoved for his last 26,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Spragg, but a call from Luong to put Knutsen at risk.

Stian Knutsen: A♠K♠
Eric Luong: Q♣J♦

The 10♠Q♦9♦ flop put Luong in front with a pair of queens and left Knutsen drawing slim.

The 7♣ turn and K♣ river improved Luong to a straight and Knutsen was eliminated.

Shahar Busts Two

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

Cards were on their backs and three players were all-in, with a short-stacked Victor Canaple and Daniele Sacchi at risk versus Ran Shahar.

Victor Canaple: K♦3♥
Daniele Sacchi: A♥K♠
Ran Shahar: A♠J♠

Sacchi seemed in great shape for a triple up, dominating Canaple with his better king and Shahar with his better ace.

However the 5♦6♥J♥6♠2♥ runout meant Shahar scooped the pot with a pair of jacks, sending him over the 100,000 mark.

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

Ugo Faggioli shoved for approximately 15,000 from the hijack and just behind him, Jacob Witt shoved all in for a bit over 12,000. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Jacob Witt: K♥Q♣
Ugo Faggioli: A♦6♠

Faggioli held a slight lead with his ace, and the 10♠5♦5♥3♣J♦ runout failed to improve Witt, who was eliminated.

Patrick Cole

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ivan Zhechev opened to 2,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Abdelmajid El Hani who reraised to 5,700. Zhechev wasted no time in announcing all in and El Hani quickly called for his tournament life.

Abdelmajid El Hani: K♣K♦
Ivan Zhechev: A♥K♠

Zhechev quickly took the lead on the A♦3♠4♥ flop which left El Hani drawing to one out. The turn Q♦ and 4♥ river confirmed El Hani's departure as Zhechev's superior two pair scooped the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Anthony Dery opened from early position to 2,000. Fredric Steinbach called from the small blind and Alessandro Pichierri put in a reraise to 7,000.

Dery wasted no time before announcing all in for around 25,000. Steinbach quickly folded and Pichierri made the call.

Anthony Dery: J♠J♥
Alessandro Pichierri: K♣K♠

The flop of K♦2♠9♦ left Dery drawing almost dead to Pichierri's set. The 10♣ gave Dery a straight draw but the A♣ river sent Dery to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There was 5,200 in the middle and the board read Q♥10♦3♣ when Joao Mestre Ferreira check-called a bet of 800 from PokerStars Ambassador Parker Talbot.

On the A♣ turn, Mestre Ferreira again check-called a bet of 2,300 from Talbot.

The river brought the J♠ and this time Ferreira led out with a bet of 5,500, leading to a swift fold from Talbot.

On the very next hand, cards were on their backs and the same players were all-in, with Mestre Ferreira at risk.

Joao Mestre Ferreira: A♥5♥
Parker Talbot: K♠K♦

Talbot's kings were in great shape and improved to a set on the A♦6♦K♥ flop, with the 10♥ turn and 5♣ river sealing Mestre Ferreira's fate.

Verdelet Busts Bianco

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Adriano Bianco had three-bet all in for 9,100 over an open and Remi Verdelet had re-jammed in the next seat for around 29,000, forcing folds from the rest of the table.

Adriano Bianco: 8♠8♦
Remi Verdelet: A♥K♥

Bianco's eights were ahead in a race but he was standing up after the 5♠A♠9♣ flop, and the J♣3♣ turn and river did not provide an unlikely turnaround.
