Kaiser Flushed Away by Badziakouski

Level 18 : 3,500/7,000, 850 ante
Kaiser vs Badziakouski
Kaiser vs Badziakouski

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 13,000 and Jans Arends called on the button, as did Ronny Kaiser in the big blind. The {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop was checked and the {5-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Kaiser checked, Badziakouski bet 16,270 and the Swissman was the only caller.

On the {k-Clubs} river, Kaiser checked with 168,980 behind. Badziakouski made it 175,500 to go and Kaiser called all-in without using his time bank to reveal {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for two pair. Badziakouski had the nut flush with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} to score the pot and knockout.

Martirosian Goes on a Heater

Level 18 : 3,500/7,000, 850 ante
Brito Silva vs Martirosian
Brito Silva vs Martirosian

Artur Martirosian re-entered and doubled through Michael Addamo. He then knocked out Daniel Dvoress in a flip with {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} versus {a-Spades}{10-Spades} when the board ran out {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

One hand later, the Russian was flipping for stacks in a massive pot against Pablo Brito Silva.

Artur Martirosian: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Pablo Brito Silva: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop gave Martirosian top set and the {6-Diamonds} turn made his double up official, as the {6-Clubs} river was already meaningless.

Fast forward another hand, David Peters won a flip with {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} as Dario Sammartino's {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} failed to get there on the {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} board.

Rudolph Binks the River

Level 17 : 3,250/6,500, 800 ante
Hirs vs Rudolph
Hirs vs Rudolph

As the all-in showdowns keep on coming, most of them are coin flips and the latest one featured Aliaksandr Hirs in the big blind and Christian Rudolph on the button.

Aliaksandr Hirs: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Christian Rudolph: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

It was a standard flip that ended with a twist as the board ran out {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Nuter Eliminated Once More

Level 17 : 3,250/6,500, 800 ante

The fourth bullet of Timothy Nuter lasted a very short time as the chips went into the middle from the cutoff, Nick Petrangelo called in the small blind.

Timothy Nuter: {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Nick Petrangelo: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop improved Petrangelo to a pair of queens and he held onto the lead on the {5-Hearts} turn and {9-Diamonds} river.

In the meanwhile, Aliaksandr Hirs has entered for the first time.

Frantic All-In Showdowns Emerge

Level 17 : 3,250/6,500, 800 ante

Michael Addamo doubled through Pablo Brito Silva when the Brazilian check-called three barrels on a {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Hearts} board. Addamo tabled the {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for trips kings and the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} of the Brazilian were no good.

Timothy Nuter then three-bet jammed {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} into the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} of Dario Sammartino, who prevailed on the {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board.

Ronny Kaiser doubled through Shawn Daniels in a flip with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} versus {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} as the {a-Clubs} appeared in the window.

Last but not last, Pablo Navarro succumbed to a short stack when Samuel Vousden spiked an ace against his pair.

Malinowski vs O'Dwyer

As the first player to act, Steve O'Dwyer raised to 13,200 and was called by Matthias Eibinger in the hijack. Wiktor Malinowski jammed for 68,600 on the button and O'Dwyer moved all-in over the top to isolate successfully.

Wiktor Malinowski: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Steve O'Dwyer: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The pair was ahead on the {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop and {7-Spades} but the overcard fell on the {k-Diamonds} river.

Another Two Down

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

Daniel Dvoress was unable to spin up his short stack and up next, the fourth bullet of Artur Martirosian was not crowned by success when he took on Shawn Daniels in a battle small blind versus cutoff.

Artur Martirosian: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Shawn Daniels: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board provided no help as the table broke right after.
