Scholtis and Kaiser Lose Heaps

Level 14 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Ambraisse vs Scholtis
Ambraisse vs Scholtis

Idris Ambraisse three-bet jammed out of the small blind and was isolated by Tobias "t0602" Scholtis in the big blind, button min-raiser Daniel "Ronalauc" Smyth folded.

Idris Ambraisse: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Tobias "t0602" Scholtis: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Ambraisse improved on each street of the {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades} board to score a big double.

Ronny Kaiser then took a flip two hands later against "Minguella".

Ronny Kaiser: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
"Minguella": {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Near even in chips, Kaiser remained ahead on the {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop and {5-Spades} turn. But the {j-Clubs} fell on the river to provide the superior pair.

Level 14 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Abarzuza eliminated
Abarzuza eliminated

Hun Wei Lee raised to 240,000 in the cutoff and Jareth "UraizeIfold" East defended the big blind. On a {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop both checked and East bet the {6-Diamonds} turn for 382,500, which Lee called. On the {2-Spades} river, East checked and lost his entire time bank before folding to the jam by Lee.

Junichi "Jun@N" Nakanowatari then jammed into Lee on the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} turn and forced a fold.

Nakanowatari also knocked out Oihan "VIVAGGPOKER" Abarzuza a couple hands later as he held with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} versus {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} thanks to a board of {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Double Knockout for TheFirestarter
Double Knockout for TheFirestarter

Austrian player "TheFireStarter" had the best of it heading into the showdown against Victor "Dsmoke" Bonifacio and "030786" from Canada.

"030786": {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Victor "Dsmoke" Bonifacio: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
"TheFireStarter": {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The board came {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and that sent two opponents to the rail.

Level 15 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante
Chen vs Savenkov
Chen vs Savenkov

Jung Chou "DragonChou" Chen doubled through fellow Taiwanese player "fatsheep" when his {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} held versus {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, the board came {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

Chen soon after got into a big clash with Aleksey "ImLuckPads" Savenkov for a pot of nearly 7 million.

Jung Chou "DragonChou" Chen: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Aleksey "ImLuckPads" Savenkov: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop was no threat but Savenkov turned the {a-Hearts}. Only the case king could help Chen and it did on the {k-Diamonds} river.
