Baumann Wins Big

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Mikko Turtiainen raised to 11,000 from the hijack and Gaelle Baumann on the button called. Big blind Erick Brenes Cuadra from Costa Rica called to make it three-way to the flop.

All of them checked on {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts} and the {Q-Clubs} hit the turn. Cuadra checked again and Turtiainen bet 19,000. Baumann called, Cuadra folded.

The {9-Hearts} completed the board and Turtiainen bet 50,000 with 39,000 behind. Baumann called and Turtiainen showed {K-Spades}{9-Spades}. Baumann had {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and raked in the pot.

Magnus Flushes Ryan

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Nadezhda Magnus has won a big pot after rivering Andrew Ryan with a flush. She was four-way to a flop, with the preflop bet coming from Magnus in the cut-off for 11,000. On the flop of {6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Magnus c-bet for 17,500 and that got two calls, before the turn of {A-Spades} got checked round.

The river of {5-Hearts} led to the money going in and when cards were shown, it was Magnus who had the goods as she turned over {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

While Magnus is right up near the higher stacks in the room, Andrew Ryan has gone from chip leader on Day 2, to a short-stack on Day 3. Can he turn his tournament around?

Cazacu Doubles Through Priolo

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Marius Cazacu was all-in and at risk preflop with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and needed help against Swedish player Mattias Priolo, who had {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

Fortunately for the Romanian, he hit an ace on the f {4-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop and he faded a queen across the {2-Clubs} turn and {8-Clubs} river to double-up his 67,500 chip-stack. Priolo drops to around the same stack as the man he's just doubled up, sat behind 145,000.

One Outer Slays Szerszen

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

All the chips went int the middle pre-flop, and it was Czeslaw Szerszen at risk for his tournament life with 75,000 chips. He was called by Murad Akhundov, and the Azerbaijani was in need of help if he was going to eliminate Szerszen.

The flop of {10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades} put Szerszen ahead, and there he stayed on the {3-Diamonds} turn. But the {Q-Spades} river, a one-outer, sent him packing and gave Akhundov 195,000. Poker can be brutal.
