Bounties for Margereson and Schemion

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

"roo_400" three-bet jammed on the button with the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and was ahead of Scott "Aggro Santos" Margereson with the {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} in the cutoff.

However, Margereson got there right away on the {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop and the {4-Spades} turn as well as the {2-Clubs} river bricked.

A short-stacked "rojorulez" then jammed the small blind with {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Ole "wizowizo" Schemion called with the {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Schemion flopped a flush on the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board to leave his opponent drawing dead right away.

Another Three Down in Quick Succession

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Vousden eliminated by Martirosian
Vousden eliminated by Martirosian

Christian "eisenhower1" Jeppsson was the first to fall followed by "Us_Alex" and Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden was then knocked out by Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian to also hit the rail and reduce the field to only 29 players.

Vousden was left short after a double by David "dpeters17" Peters and defended the big blind against a raise by Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian. Vousden check-called three barrels including the all in on the river of a {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} board with {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a pair of eights. Martirosian had that easily beat with {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} for top set and earned another bounty.

Two Late Entries and a Knockout

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Poland's "Spotzilla666" and Rinat "Zapahzamazki" Lyapin have joined the mix to boost the field to 92 entries in total.

In the meanwhile, Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias jammed his short stack in with the {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} and was looked up by Rodrigo "Seijistar" Seiji on the button with the superior {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

Kolonias almost got there as he picked up a flushdraw until the {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} turn but the {9-Clubs} river bricked off.

Schemion vs Mateos
Schemion vs Mateos

It all kicked off without any major drama as Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos raised to 26,640 and called a three-bet to 115,200 by Ole "wizowizo" Schemion in the small blind. The flop brought {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Schemion continued for 186,000, which then prompted the shove of Mateos and the all-in call of Schemion for 741,713 total.

Ole "wizowizo" Schemion: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Even after the {k-Spades} turn, Mateos still had outs to a straight but the {a-Spades} river awarded the pot of more than 1.7 million to Schemion.

Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen jammed a short stack from the button with the {k-Spades}{10-Clubs} and was called by Preben "prebz" Stokkan in the big blind with the {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}. The {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board sent Hunichen to the rail and he re-entered almost immediately.

One hand later, Ludovic "ludovi333" Geilich lost a flip with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} against the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} of "serggorelyi7" to take a small hit to his stack on a {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} runout.
