Sam Greenwood Eliminated

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Sam Greenwood was down to just 33,000 and moved all in from the cutoff. The button and small blind folded but Jan Eric Schwippert in the big blind wasn't throwing his cards away for just 21,000 more and called.

Sam Greenwood: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Jan Eric Schwippert: {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The {4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} on the flop hit Schwippert but the {A-Diamonds} on the turn gave Greenwood some additional outs. The {8-Clubs} on the river, however, was a blank and the last of the brothers Greenwood hit the rail.

McEathron Doubles Again

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

From under the gun, Erik Seidel raised to 26,000 and Steffen Sontheimer called from one seat over. Ryan McEathron moved all in from the small blind and Manig Loeser in the big blind asked for a count. McEathron was all in for 104,000 and Loeser folded, while Seidel was the only caller.

Ryan McEathron: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Erik Seidel: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The board of {J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} let McEathron double for a second time in quick succession and he nears the stack size of Sontheimer by now.

Stevens Builds Stack; McEathron Doubles

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Bert Stevens raised from under the gun and was called by Fabrizio Gonzalez on the button and Dominykas Karmazinas in the big blind. The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Karmazinas checked, Stevens bet 30,000 and just Gonzalez called. After the {5-Hearts} turn, Stevens led for 85,000 and that won the pot right there.

One table over, Ryan McEathron moved all in for 46,000 from early position. Manig Loeser called in the hijack and the cards were turned over.

Ryan McEathron: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Manig Loeser: {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and McEathron dodged both over cards to remain in contention.

McEathron in the Danger Zone

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

At the end the previous level, Erik Seidel raised to 22,000 on the button and Koray Aldemir defended the big blind. On the {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop, Aldemir checked and folded to a bet of 20,000 by Seidel.

The blinds went up and the next hand brought no action before Manig Loeser opened to 26,000. Aldemir, now on the button, three-bet to 75,000 and short stack Ryan McEathron in the big blind let go. Loeser came to the same conclusion and Aldemir chipped up without showdown.

Level: 12

Blinds: 6,000/12,000

Ante: 2,000

Lin and Guerrero Eliminated

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Wei Lin failed to get there with {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} against the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} of Vladimir Troyanovskiy and he was joined on the rail just one minute later by Jimmy Guerrero. The Frenchman three-bet all in out of the small blind for 143,000 and initial raiser Jan Eric Schwippert on the button called after he was given the count.

Jimmy Guerrero: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Jan Eric Schwippert: {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Guerrero got it in ahead but Schwippert took the lead with the {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop. Some chop outs emerged on the {7-Spades} turn before the {8-Clubs} river gave Schwippert trips eights to eliminate Guerrero.

More Counts From the Felt

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Manig Loeser opened to 18,000 and Vladimir Troyanovskiy called in the big blind. On a flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Troyanovskiy checked and called a bet of 20,000 before check-folding the {A-Hearts} turn to a second barrel worth 50,000.

Fabrizio Gonzalez faced a bet of Imad Derwiche on the {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades} river and raised big from 35,000 to 215,000. Derwiche used one time bank and folded. Right after, Gonzalez took on Bert Stevens and four-bet to 128,000 in one of the first hands of the new level. Stevens had three-bet to 50,000 from the cutoff and let go.
