Vogelsang Double Barrels

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang opened to 160,000 in the cutoff and Cary Katz defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 644, and Katz check-called a bet of 80,000.

When the A hit the turn, Katz checked and Christoph Vogelsang fired a bet of 260,000. That was enough for Katz to surrender the pot.

No Redraw For Lococo

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo
Alejandro Lococo

After Moshe Refaelowitz doubled up through Daniel Smiljkovic (AK>7x7x on 4KJ38), Alejandro Lococo called in the big blind after Johannes Straver opened on the button.

On the flop 396, Straver made a continuation bet of 80,000. Lococo then moved all in for approximately 1,200,000 chips. Straver called.

Alejandro Lococo: 54
Johannes Straver: 66

Straver had a set on the flop, but Lococo could still hit a straight. However, the A came on the turn and the A on the river, so Lococo left the tournament

After his elimination, floors asked the dealers to stop dealing to do the redraw.

Kindred Flops a Set to Eliminate Garagnani

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Justin Kindred
Justin Kindred

Pedro Garagnani raised 160,000 in the cutoff and Justin Kindred three-bet all-in from the big blind. Garagnani went into the tank and asked for a count. The dealer broke down the stacks to show him it was 1,650,000, and after a couple of seconds more, he called off his stack of 1,400,000.

Pedro Garagnani: AJ
Justin Kindred: 77

It was a coin flip until the KJ7 flop hit the felt, giving Kindred a set of sevens. The 4 turn sealed the fate of Garagnani and the K river was just a formality.
