Ricardo Chauriye

The eliminations keep coming at a lightning-fast pace and among those to run out of chips was Tiziano Di Romualdo. He got it in with queen-ten against the pocket queens of Jan Mach and the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} of Lawrence Whyte. The board ran out jack-high and Whyte missed out on a gutshot to see Mach double in a massive pot.

Ricardo Chauriye faced a raise to 11,000 by Bernd Gleissner and moved all in for 31,500. Gleissner called with the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Chauriye had a flip with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. The board came {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and that was it for the Chilean.

Hughes Leaves Empty-Handed

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Ryan Hughes left the tournament area and his seat was indeed empty while the stack of Robert Auer had grown. According to Auer in the big blind, he called the push of Hughes from the small blind for around 45,000 with {A-Hearts}{2-} and faced the {A-}{7-} of the American. Three hearts on the flop were followed by a fourth heart on the river and Hughes was eliminated before the money.

Cantu Bust Two

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Brandon Cantu
Brandon Cantu

The player in mid-position shoved all in and the player on the button asked for a call. The dealer counted out the chips and confirmed he had 14,000 behind. The player folded, but Brandon Cantu, sitting in the small blind, also went all in. The player in the big blind looked at Cantu and then at his own cards. After having seen them, he called with a smaller stack (around 25,000) than Cantu's.

Brandon Cantu: {K-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Big Blind: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Mid-position: {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Cantu was behind but he touched the five he had to point out that would be the winning card.

The flop came {6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} to give Cantu a chance on a straight. The {8-Clubs} on the turn still give the upper hand to the player in the big blind. But the {5-Clubs} on the river was just the card Cantu needed to eliminate the two other players and to claim their bounties.

Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Within one level the field has been reduced to just 72 hopefuls and among those to bust were Francisco Fernandez, Roland Israelashvili, Sam Grafton and Tezer Cetindag.

Michael Sklenicka knocked out a short stack with {A-}{4-} while doubling through the {K-}{9-} of Martin Kabrhel with {A-Hearts}{7-Spades} on a board of {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Sklenicka won another pot after to boost his stack further.

Ricardo Chauriye's stack took a hit when Anatoliy Zyrin doubled with {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} against his {A-Spades}{6-Spades} while Carlo Savinelli doubled through Marek Tatar with {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} versus {A-Clubs}{6-Spades} after a flop of {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The {8-Diamonds} turn and {A-Spades} river were blanks and Savinelli doubled for 43,500 before Tatar doubled soon after and then got moved tables.

More for Racener and Follet

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Micky Blasi raised to 6,500 and Romain Follet three-bet to 18,000 before calling the four-bet shove of the big blind for 40,000 with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. The big blind only had {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and the board came {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

John Racener defended his big blind to a raise by Michael Eiler and check-raised the {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop from 7,000 to 15,500. Eiler moved all in and Racener called.

Michael Eiler: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
John Racener: {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The {J-Clubs} on the turn left Eiler with just two outs, and the {10-Diamonds} on the river was a blank.
