Ylitalo Hits the Rail

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Robin Ylitalo made a min-raise from middle position, leaving only 8,000 chips behind. Fabio Peluso called from his direct left, and Stanislav Anufriiev also called from the big blind.

The dealer put out the 8♦K♥J♦ flop, and the action checked to Peluso, who made a minimum bet. Anufriiev folded, and Ylitalo called.

Robin Ylitalo: J♥7♥ All in
Fabio Peluso: K♠J♠

"I thought that was a good flop for me," Ylitalo said when he saw that his pair of jacks was crushed by the top two pairs of his opponent. The turn was the 5♥, giving Ylitalo many outs, but the 6♦ on the river was none of them, and he exited the tournament.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bogdan Munteanu opened the action to 20,000, and Julien Sitbon moved all in from his direct left. When the action reached Markus Vogel, he moved all in as well and Munteanu folded.

Julien Sitbon: A♠J♣ All in
Markus Vogel: A♣K♣

Sitbon was in a tough spot, dominated by Vogel's ace king. The board ran out 6♦2♣3♦10♦Q♥, offering no help to Sitbon, who was eliminated. Vogel scooped the pot and now sits with nearly 1,000,000 chips, triple the average stack.

Rajkovic’s Short Ride Ends After a Brave Fight

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Starting with just 5,000 chips, Adi Rajkovic faced a steep uphill battle and managed to outlast a few players for a pay jump before his tournament life ended in back-to-back all-in situations.

In his first all-in, Rajkovic was forced to commit his stack from the big blind. Marton Czuczor opened the action with a raise to 16,000 from middle position, receiving a call from the small blind. With Rajkovic automatically all-in, the three players went to the flop, which showed 6♣5♦A♠.

Both active players checked down the board, 2♥ on the turn and 3♦ on the river, leading to a showdown. Rajkovic flipped over A♣7♦ for top pair, which held as the best hand to secure a critical triple-up and keep his tournament hopes alive.

However, Rajkovic’s table broke immediately after another hand, sending him to a new table where he was once again in the big blind and automatically all-in with his remaining 15,000 chips.

This time, Vladimir Lipnitskii opened the action with a raise to 16,000 from early position, and Alexandros Michas called from the small blind.

On the 6♥3♦7♠ flop, Michas checked, and Lipnitskii fired a continuation bet of 18,000, which Michas called. Both players then checked the 3♥ turn.

The river brought the Q♣, and after another check from Michas, Lipnitskii made a bet of 37,000, forcing Michas to fold. With Rajkovic all-in, the cards were revealed.

Lipnitskii tabled A♠9♠ for ace-high, while Rajkovic, seeing his cards for the first time, revealed 9♥4♦. The board didn’t bring any help for Rajkovic, ending his tournament run. Despite the tough spots, Rajkovic fought valiantly and exited gracefully, ready to take on the next challenge.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marton Czuczor	380,000 -36,000	-36,000
Vladimir Lipnitskii	150,000 28,000	28,000
Alexandros Michas	110,000 -30,000	-30,000

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The cards were already face-up, with Rostyslav Sabishchenko all in from late position and Fabian Scherle having made the call.

Rostyslav Sabishchenko: A♣3♣ All in
Fabian Scherle: A♥K♦

Sabishchenko needed to improve to avoid elimination, but the 9♠6♣J♦ flop offered no help. The turn brought a glimmer of hope with the 3♥, giving him a pair, but the K♠ on the river dashed his comeback dreams. Scherle's pair of kings sealed the hand, and Sabishchenko was sent to the rail.
