No Cash for These Players

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The field size has plummeted to just 115 hopefuls and among the latest casualties was also PokerStars Team Online member Felix Schneiders. Fewer than three dozen eliminations are needed to conclude Day 1b, as only the top 82 players will advance to the money stages.

Ko Wins Classic Race to Bust Van Bemmel

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Hanseok Ko
Hanseok Ko

Hanseok Ko opened to 10,000 first-to-act and Johannes Van Bemmel shoved for approximately 80,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Ko, who quickly called to put Van Bemmel at risk.

Johannes Van Bemmel: AK
Hanseok Ko: QQ

Ko held a slight lead, which was maintained on the J2J910 runout — eliminating Van Bemmel from the tournament.

The board ran out 776J6 and the kings of Michaud held to secure a triple-up, while Pires Trigo was eliminated in the side pot.

Dahan Falls to Del Pino

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Omar Del Pino opened to 10,000 from the hijack and Refael Dahan shoved for his last 56,000 from the hijack. It was folded back around to Del Pino, who asked for a count and tanked a while before deciding to make the call.

Refael Dahan: 99
Omar Del Pino: A10

Dahan remained ahead with his pair on the 5QQ flop and K turn, but the A river paired Del Pino's ace — eliminating Dahan late in the evening.

Kiriopoulos Sends Krasuntsev Packing

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos

Alexander Krasunstev moved all-in from an early position for the last 11,000 and Alexandre Amiel min-raised to 17,000 from one seat over. Demosthenes Kiriopoulos called on the button and the big blind was still to act. At that time, Krasuntsev already exposed his 84, which remained visible to everyone at the table for the remainder of the hand.

Only Amiel and Kiriopoulos remained active to the 752 flop that went check, check. Amiel check-folded the 8 turn and Kiriopoulos revealed his 77 for a set of sevens. A blank K river followed and Krasuntsev stumbled out of his chair, almost knocking Jonas Ten Cate out of his chair.

"If you bet the flop, I bust," Amiel told Kiriopoulos.

Nebezhev Flushes Away Kaddouri

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

Three ways to the J72 flop, Mounim Kaddouri pushed all-in for 47,000 out of the big blind. Khazret Nebezhev jammed over the top for 81,000 in an early position and Fadhil Farag asked for a count on the larger shove before getting out of the way.

Mounim Kaddouri: AJ
Khazret Nebezhev: KJ

The 6 turn instantly locked up the pot for Nebezhev to make the 3 river a formality.

As Farag walked out into the break, he mentioned to have folded pocket queens.

Ran Shahar: 1010

De Doncker Done for the Night

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Cristian David had earned a fortunate split pot not long ago when his dominated ace hit running cards to broadway against Jonathan Therme. Since then, he more than doubled while Therme vanished.

David then looked up the shove by Loic De Doncker with the AQ, as he jammed over the top to isolate. De Doncker revealed the 109 and gained a ton of equity on the Q86 flop with a gutshot and flush draw.

Yet, there was no happy end on the 8 turn and K river runout to eliminate De Doncker.
