River Helps Pisane

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

David Guay opened to 355,000 under the gun, Randy Pisane called in the cutoff, and Jake Bazeley defended his big blind.

Bazeley and Guay checked the {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop, and Pisane bet 500,000. Bazeley folded, and Guay called. Guay check-called another bet of 800,000 on the {2-Hearts} turn, and the {J-Clubs} completed the board. Both players checked.

Guay announced that he had ace-king. Pisane showed {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} but still asked to see Guay's hand, so he tabled {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

Sklenicka Builds Stack

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Scott Stewart raised to 320,000, and Alexandre Reard called, as did Scott Blumstein in the big blind. On the {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, the action checked to Stewart, and his bet of 510,000 won the pot.

Then, Michael Sklenicka raised to 335,000 from under the gun. Valentin Messina called on the button, and Daniel Turner defended the big blind. The flop came {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and again, the initial raiser took down the pot with a continuation bet, this time for 500,000.

Stewart raised the next hand to 320,000 from under the gun, and Sklenicka defended the big blind. There was no betting action on the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board, and Sklenicka won the pot with {Q-Spades}{4-Spades} for a pair of fours.

The Czech also won the next limped pot against Stewart without any post-flop action.

Then, Jonas Mackoff claimed the blinds and antes by moving all in from under the gun.

A raise to 350,000 by Turner secured him the next pot, and Mackoff forfeited his big blind to drop to just over one million in chips.

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Antoine Saout raised to 325,000 from under the gun, and Andrew Ostapchenko called from the cutoff.

The flop came {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Saout continued for 310,000, and Ostapchenko called. The turn was the {9-Spades}. Both players checked, and the {8-Spades} river completed the board. Saout checked, and Ostapchenko bet 550,000. Saout mulled it over for about two minutes before he released his hand.

Frank Crivello Eliminated in 40th Place ($176,399)

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Frank Crivello
Frank Crivello

Frank Crivello raised to 400,000 from late position, Benjamin Pollak called on the button, and Florian Lohnert called in the big blind.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and Lohnert checked. Crivello quickly bet 1,100,000, and Pollak wasted no time calling. Lohnert folded. The turn was the {2-Clubs}. Crivello instantly moved all in for 3,535,000, and Pollak asked for a count. After about a minute, he called.

"Flush draw?" asked Crivello. He tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top pair with a king kicker, at risk against Pollak's {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a pair of eights and a flush draw.

The river was the {10-Clubs}, and Pollak made his flush, sending him the pot and Crivello to the rail.

Crivello headed off to the payout desk to collect $176,399 for his 40th-place finish.

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, and Ott checked to Hesp, who continued for 500,000. Ott check-raised to 1,200,000, Hesp re-raised to 3,500,000, and Ott folded after a few moments.

Luske Gets There?

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Marcel Luske
Marcel Luske

From early position, Randy Pisane raised to 380,000. Jake Bazeley called from the cutoff, and Marcel Luske called from the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and Luske checked to Pisane, who bet 500,000. Bazeley called, and Luske called, as well, bringing all three players to the {10-Clubs} on the turn. There, action checked to Bazeley, who fired 1,000,000. Luske called, but Pisane folded. The river was the {8-Clubs}, and Luske led out with a small bet relative to the size of the pot, just 500,000. Bazeley scrunched up his face a bit, then tossed in the chips needed to call.

Lusked showed {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Bazeley shook his head and mucked after a few seconds.

"You were just going to call it all off, weren't you, Marcel?" Bazeley asked after the hand.

Luske took in the big pot and moved close to seven million chips.

Mackoff Doubles Through Messina

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Michael Sklenicka opened for 360,000 first to act, and Jonas Mackoff shoved all in from middle position for 895,000. Valentin Messina put in an under-raise to 1,250,000, but Sklenicka folded, anyway.

Mackoff: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Messina: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Mackoff needed help and found some as the flop came {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} to bring him a flush draw. The {5-Clubs} turn was a brick, but the {j-Clubs} river paired Mackoff for a double. He also jammed the next hand and won the blinds and antes.

Sarkisyan Check-Raises All In

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Pedro Oliveira opened under the gun for 380,000, Bryan Piccioli called next to act, Marcel Luske called on the button, and Karen Sarkisyan called in the small blind.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and Sarkisyan checked. Oliveira bet one million, and Piccioli and Luske folded. Sarkisyan called and checked again on the {Q-Spades} turn, and Oliveira continued for 2.7 million. Sarkisyan moved all in by sliding forward his big tower of T500,000 chips. Oliveira shook his head, said he thought Sarkisyan had {A-Spades}{7-Spades}, and folded.
