Schemiond Drops Xue Off at the Cleaners

Level 29 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

Ole Schemion opened to 70,000 from the cutoff and Song "xuesong" Xue shoved 153,356. Schemion called and the two tabled their hands.

Song "xuesong" Xue: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Ole Schemion: {k-Spades}{4-Spades}

The flop was not exactly what Xue had in mind when an all spade {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} board it. The {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} runout was irrelevant as Schemion scooped the pot with his flopped flush, eliminating Xue from the event.

David Yan opened to 89,600 from under the gun and Juan Pardo Dominguez raised to 822,542. Yan jammed and Dominguez put in his last 40,000, putting himself at risk.

Juan Pardo Dominguez: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
David Yan: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop rolled out {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and the cowboys of Yan were well in front. A {2-Diamonds} turn card sealed it for Yan who then had Dominguez drawing dead to the {8-Spades} river card.

Ole Schemion Eliminated in 15th Place ($55,462)

Level 30 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Niklas Astedt opened to 80,000 from middle position and Guillaume Nolet called. Ole Schemion shoved over the top, totaling 541,901 and only Astedt called his all-in.

Ole Schemion: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Niklas Astedt: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

A flip saw Schemion in need of a connection with the board and the {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} was a miss. He did pick up a few more outs as a lady could give him a straight to take down the pot now. A {7-Spades} turn left him in need of some run good but he failed to connect when the {9-Diamonds} river landed. Schemion was eliminated and Astedt took down another healthy-sized pot.

Wiktor Malinowski Eliminated in 14th Place ($55,462)

Level 31 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Action fell on Wei Zhao in the cutoff, he opened for 110,000 and Wiktor Malinowski pushed his 224,630 stack into the middle. Zhao called, putting the GGPoker ambassador at risk.

Wiktor Malinowski: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Wei Zhao: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop fell {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, giving Malinowski a couple more outs to land a double. Unfortunately, the {3-Diamonds} turn and {6-Hearts} river failed to hit him, eliminating Malinowski during the last two tables of play. Zhao took the pot, putting him over the million mark as he looks to make the final table.

Aliaksei Boika Eliminated in 13th Place ($58,969)

Level 32 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante

Sami Kelopuro opened to 138,000 from middle position and Wei Zhao shoved 1,983,393 in the cutoff. Kelopuro folded and Aliaksei Boika was already all-in after not having enough to cover the blinds.

Aliaksei Boika: {k-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Wei Zhao: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop came down {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and the ace-high was still leading. A {4-Diamonds} turn was not a difference-maker and a {6-Hearts} river stamped it, knocking out Boika as Zhao scooped another late pot.

Pedro Garagnani: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

A {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop fell, leaving Garagnani in the lead with his ducks. The {q-Diamonds} turn left Nolet with one last shot but a {k-Diamonds} was not what he needed and he was eliminated, sending the rest of his chips to Garagnani.

Amichai Barer Eliminated in 11th Place ($62,697)

Level 35 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

Action folded around to Jason Koon on the button and he open-shoved 1,231,328. Amichai Barer timebank-called from the big blind for less, putting in 972,124 and the two turned them up.

Amichai Barer: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Jason Koon: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop fell in the favor of Koon as {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} landed on the board, giving him a pair of kings to take the lead. A {7-Diamonds} landed on the turn, leaving Barer in need of some luck. The {7-Hearts} river changed not a thing and Barer was eliminated, shipping the pot to Koon and his flopped king.
