Heat 3

Cooler Enables Filatov to win Feature Table

Level 2

Antoly Filatov has rebounded amazingly (first player out in Heat 1) to win the feature table after a cooler of a hand versus Igor Yaroshevsky.

There was a six on the flop and a six on the river, and that's where the chips went in. Team Russia's Filatov opened {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades} beating out Team Ukraine Yaroshevsky's {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Being in the last level of the heat, Filatov can fold every hand and won't be able be overtaken.

Selbst Plays it Perfect, Wins Her Table

Level 2
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

Vanessa Selbst just took out two players, Andrea Dato and Louis Salter, and the math told her to play no more hands against her final opponent, Jonathan Duhamel, and lock up first place.

First Selbst moved all in from the small blind to put Salter at risk, and he called.

Selbst: {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Salter: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Salter was knocked out. A few hands later Dato was all in and the hand went as following, against Selbst.

Selbst: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Dato: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Selbst accumulated enough chips to secure a victory against Duhamel who will finish in second place.

Lucky Double for Schemion

Level 2

Vladimir Troyanovskiy opened for 2,900 from the button and Patrick Bruel in the small blind and Ole Schemion in the big blind both called on the three handed table.

The flop came {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Bruel checked. Schemion pushed and Troyanovskiy instantly called, Bruel folded.

Troyanovskiy: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Schemion: {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Schemion didn't seem too worried though, and he didn't get up. Rightfully so; {5-Spades} on the turn and {4-Spades} on the river. Still three remain on Table 1.

Isaac Haxton Eliminated

Level 2

Oliver Price shoved under the gun and Isaac Haxton in the big blind made the call.

Oliver Price: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Isaac Haxton: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Haxton was heading for the exit. With just four players remaining on table 4, France (ElkY), Canada (Barer), United Kingdom (Price) and Germany (Frank) are in the money.

Bendinelli Clears Out Table 4

Level 2

Giulliano Bendinelli has absolutely teared apart his table as he just busted out three players in a row.

First it was Ihar Soshnikov who moved all in from the small blind and Bendinelli called from the big blind.

Bendinelli: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}
Soshnikov: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Soshnikov was knocked out in fourth place. A few hands later it was Erwann Pecheux who was all in for his tournament life and up against Bendinelli.

Bendinelli: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Pecheux: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{K-Spades}{6-Spades} and Pecheux busted in third place. Another few hands later the board showed {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} when Bendinelli had called Busquet's shove with {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and the American pro tabled {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Bendinelli wins this heat and these are the final results of Table 4.
