Venovski Eliminates Cody

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jake Cody (Day 1) - Eliminated
Jake Cody (Day 1) - Eliminated

Alexander Venovski opened to 2,300 only to have Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody three-bet all in from the next seat over for about 15,000. Action folded back to Venovski and he instantly called.

Venovski: {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Coyd: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}

A run out of {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} ensured Cody would be eliminated from play. Venovski scooped the pot and now has a stack of about 153,000.

Defending Champ Has Some Work To Do

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Dominik Panka
Dominik Panka

With the television cameras watching his every move, Dominik Panka raised the 2,100 opener from Raffaele Sorrentino to 4,800. The rest of the players at the table folded and Sorrentino made the call.

The flop came {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and both players checked. They would repeat that on the {Q-Spades} turn.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Sorrentino, breathing heavy, a tan scarf wrapped around his neck, put out a bet of 5,100. Panka, the defending champion of this event, peered over at his foe and scratched the area above his upper lip and then pulled lightly on his lower lip. A look of resignation and his cards were in the muck as he queried Sorrentino about what he had.

Panka had 30,000 after the hand — still no reason to panic — but definitely some work to do if he is going to make a run at defending his title.

Schemion Races Well

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

We found Ole Schemion, who had called 4,800 on the button, contemplating a shove of 35,200 from small blind Mark Vargas. The German star decided to make the call and turned over {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Vargas had {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, and the two were racing, with Schemion's jacks staying best on the {3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board. A {j-Clubs} turn was a mixed blessing as it gave Schemion a set but put a combo draw on board for Vargas. The online qualifier bricked the {7-Hearts} river, and Schemion has tons of ammo now with almost 150,000.

Schwartz Climbing

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On a board of {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Valentino Konakchiev checked over to Noah Schwartz. Schwartz cut out a bet of 4,700 and Konakchiev stuck around to see the river.

The dealer produced the {3-Spades} on fifth street and Konakchiev checked one final time. Schwartz bet 10,700, Konakchiev quickly folded, and Schwartz was awarded the pot. He's now sitting on a mountain of chips as he's worked his stack up to about 168,000.
