Adrian Mateos

Igor Yaroshevskyy raised to 125,000 from the cutoff and Adrian Mateos moved all in from one seat over. Once the action was back on Yaroshevskyy, he quickly called.

Adrian Mateos: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Igor Yaroshevskyy: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The Spaniard found no help on the board of {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and had to settle for a payday of €122,100. All remaining six players are guaranteed at least €159,700 for their efforts.

Kenney Doubles Through Chidwick

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Stepehen Chidwick (button) and Bryn Kenney (big blind) both had big hands and ended up all in before the flop.

Chidwick had {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} but would not improve as the board came {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Double up for Kenney.

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy
Vladimir Troyanovskiy

Down to around 400,000, Vladimir Troyanovskiy moved all in from the small blind and Stephen Chidwick looked at his cards before calling instantly.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy: {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Stephen Chidwick: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop left Troyanovskiy in desperate shape, while he picked up a gutshot with the {9-Diamonds} turn. However, a blank {5-Hearts} river ended Troyanovskiy's run in 8th place and he takes home €91,940.

Zhou Builds Stack

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 175,000 from the small blind and Quan Zhou in the big blind asked for his stack size. "One point four in total," the Spaniard replied and the clock ticked down to zero while Zhou cut out a reraise without announcing anything yet. He then slid forward a three-bet to 370,000 and Mateos quickly folded, while Zhou claimed the pot and had to forfeit one time bank chip.

Mateos Doubles Through Kenney

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 125,000 and Bryn Kenney called in the big blind. Both players checked the {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and the {10-Hearts} fell on the turn. Kenney glanced at the stack of Mateos, who revealed to have 640,000 behind, and Kenney moved all in. Mateos called and the cards were turned over.

Adrian Mateos: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Bryn Kenney: {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The {J-Hearts} on the river failed to improve Kenney and he dropped to fewer than 10 big blinds.
