Carmi Eliminated by Izotov

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Picking up the action on the 8♦6♥5♦A♠ turn, Eran Carmi bet 20,000 out of the big blind. Pavel Izotov on the button gave him a stare down for half a minute and raised to 59,000. Carmi wasted little time before moving all-in for around 140,000 and Izotov snap-called.

Eran Carmi: K♥8♠7♥4♦
Pavel Izotov: A♦9♦7♦5♣

Carmi was in rough shape with the eight-high straight and needed one of three nines in the deck to stay in contention. It was not meant to be when the J♥ fell on the river and the field was reduced to the last 42 players.

Omar Eljach and Filip Lovric were heads-up on a flop of 9♣10♦3♣ when Eljach bet 20,000 from early position.

Lovric called in the small blind and both players checked the Q♥ turn. Lovric also checked the K♣ river and Eljach bet another 50,000.

Lovric snap-folded as Eljach took the pot, moving up to around 270,000 after starting the day with just 64,000.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Pascal Foged sighed "again ... so sick," as he lost a medium-sized pot to Christopher Back. He had flopped jacks full on a board of J♥10♦10♣5♠K♥ but Back hit the river with the A♠K♦K♣7♥.

Two tables over, Farid Jattin opened to 15,000 and Kasparas Klezys called out of the blinds. Klezys check-raised the J♥J♦6♣ flop when facing a bet worth 16,000 and Jattin quickly folded.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

More than 100,000 was already in the middle as Pascal Foged and Namhyung Kim went heads-up to the turn on a board of 2♦3♦3♣7♦.

Kim, in the hijack, then bet 70,000 and Foged called under the gun. The river came the 3♥ and Foged checked over to Kim again.

Kim this time slid forward two towers of blue 5,000 chips for a bet of 200,000. Foged ripped off his earbuds and began shaking his head as he considered the decision.

"I cannot fold," Foged finally said after several minutes as he called. Kim instantly turned over A♠A♦9♦3♠ for quad threes.

Foged flashed 7♣7♠ as a round of "wows" went up from the other players on the table and the massive pile of chips was pushed to Kim.

Namhyung Kim	700,000 344,000	344,000

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The K♠K♣10x9x of Barny Boatman were in the muck already and he paid off a double for Anson Tsang.

On a board of A♠5♦3♠J♣6♣, the A♥K♦9♦5♥ of Tsang had made two pair to get there.

Markus Anheier was not as fortunate and lost his all-in showdown as 43 players remain.

Barny Boatman	120,000 -37,000	-37,000

Anson Tsang	100,000 33,000	33,000

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alfredo Vega Meister raised and earned two callers in Farid Jattin as well as Patrik Jaros. On the A♣6♣3♣ flop, Jattin and Jaros checked and Vega Meister bet 15,000 to earn a call from Jaros only.

The same action repeated on the 10♠ turn for 42,000 and Jaros also checked the 9♥ river. Vega Meister then pushed all-in and Jaros went into a brief tank before he called.

Vega Meister flashed a KxQ♥J♥9x for a bluff gone wrong and Jaros took it down with the 7♣6♠5♠4♣ for a flush. Both stacks were counted and the 89,000 of Jaros covered.

Kim Smacks the Turn on Grubinger

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim bet 16,000 on a flop of 9♣4♦5♠ before Marcel Grubinger raised to 80,000 on the button. Kim, in the cutoff, then moved all in and Grubinger called off his last 20,000.

Marcel Grubinger: 9♥9♠6♥5♦
Gab Yong Kim: 10♠10♥6♠3♥

Grubinger had flopped top set and needed to hold on against Kim's straight draw. The turn didn't complete Kim's straight, but it did come 10♣ as Kim spiked a higher set.

"That's the worst one," a tablemate said, and Grubinger couldn't find any miracles on the 8♦ river before heading off to the rail.
