Bradley Hero-Calls Correctly to Double Through Sabo

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Ian Bradley
Ian Bradley

Ian Bradley raised the pot to 280,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Alan Sabo called out of the big blind holding the {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop brought no betting action nor did the {2-Diamonds} turn.

Sabo also checked the {k-Hearts} river and then faced a bet worth 400,000 by Bradley. The check-raise for the size of the pot to 1,880,000 by Sabo followed and that sent Bradley into the tank.

The Brit carefully counted his remaining stack and called all-in to double into the lead.

Samuel Stranak raised to 200,000 with the {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} and was called by Alan Sabo in the small blind with the {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Ian Bradley in the big blind with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. The {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop brought a bet worth 225,000 by Stranak and Bradley was the only one to check-call.

After the {5-Clubs} turn, Bradley checked once more and Stranak now bet 800,000 to shut down his opponent.

Stranak Takes Some More from Bradley

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

In a limped pot to the {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs} turn, Samuel Stranak bet 225,000 with the {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for the diamond draw and Ian Bradley called with {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for top pair and the club flush draw.

The {8-Diamonds} river improved Stranak and he bet 450,000 out of the small blind. Bradley double-checked his cards and folded to forfeit another portion of his stack.

Sabo Gets Through With a Bluff

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ian Bradley limped the button with the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Samuel Stranak did so from the small blind with the {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Alan Sabo raised the pot o 320,000 with the {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} and earned two calls. They checked the {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop and {9-Hearts} turn.

Stranak also checked the {k-Hearts} turn and Sabo bet 725,000 to get rid of Bradley. Stranak also folded and showed his bottom end of the straight, which Sabo took with a smile on the face.

Upon completion of the hand, the players went on a scheduled 15-minute break with the two Slovakians nearly even at the top of the leaderboard.

Ian Bradley Eliminated in 3rd Place (€44,044)

Level 26 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ian Bradley
Ian Bradley

Ian Bradley three-bet potted out of the big blind and Samuel Stranak called on the button. The {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop brought the shove by Bradley for 1,290,000 and Stranak shrugged, then called.

Ian Bradley: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Samuel Stranak: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Bradley needed a king or six to stay alive once more but instead, it was Stranak who improved to a straight on the {10-Hearts} turn and {9-Diamonds} river. That brought an end to Bradley's tournament run and he collects €44,044 for the efforts.

Heads-up play between the two Slovakians Stranak and Alan Sabo will get underway in a few minutes.

Heads-Up Play Underway

Level 26 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alan Sabo raised to 250,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Samuel Stranak called with the {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop was checked and Stranak check-folded the {2-Spades} turn to a pot-sized bet, jokingly calling it a nit fold.

He got some chips back the next hand and retained the small lead over his countryman.
