Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action started with a button raise to 60,000 by Levan Rcheulishvili and Namhyung Kim waved with his hands to see the stack of his opponent before making the call from the big blind.

Following the 9♦7♦5♥ flop, Kim bet 75,000 and Rcheulishvili pondered about it for a short while to then raise the pot. With a stack of around 390,000, Rcheulishvili then called all-in when Kim jammed.

Levan Rcheulishvili: A♠J♥J♣8♠
Namhyung Kim: J♠10♦9♣7♣

The 4♥ turn changed nothing and the 7♠ river only improved Kim to sevens full of kings, as he continued to ascend and sent Rcheulishvili to the payout desk.

Nino Pansier raised to 70,000 with the A♦K♥J♠10♦ and Barny Boatman called on the button with the K♦K♣8♥2♦. Bruno Stefanelli in the small blind tanked with the Q♥Q♣3♣2♥ before folding.

The 10♣4♣2♣ flop saw Pansier bet 40,000 and Boatman came along to the 9♥ turn. Pansier checked and Boatman bet 100,000 to take it down uncontested.

Salih Atac raised to 50,000 on the button and Dario Alioto defended his big blind.

The flop came 9♥5♠6♣ and Atac bet 40,000. Alioto then came back with a raise to 125,000.

Atac put in a reraise to 240,000 and Alioto quickly moved all in for around 300,000. Atac's cards instantly hit the muck as Alioto showed A♦7♦3♥ while taking the pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Aaron Duczak three-bet preflop and jammed the 10♣6♣2♠ flop but received an instant call by Levan Rcheulishvili, which was bad news for the Canadian.

Aaron Duczak: A♠9♠9♥6♥
Levan Rcheulishvili: A♣10♦9♣7♣

The 2♦ turn opened up some miracle back door outs for Duczak but he bricked the 4♠ river to finish in 17th place.

There will now be a 20-minute break prior to the start of the final two tables.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Aaron Duczak was just moved to the table to take the spot of Omar Eljach and bet 65,000 from the big blind on a board of Q♦K♣6♥8♣.

Quirin Zech called under the gun, as did small blind Nino Pansier. The river came the J♠ and Pansier and Duczak checked over to Zech.

Zech then bet 125,000 and Pansier tanked for several minutes before calling, while Duczak quickly moved. Zech turned over J♣10♥10♣8♠ for jacks and eights, but Pansier had Q♠J♥10♦6♦ for queens and jacks on the river to win the big pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Alexi Skoulos raised the pot in the cutoff and Gab Yong Kim repotted to 184,000 in the small blind. It folded back to the Swede, who called with around 110,000 behind. Kim already bet 225,000 in the dark and Skoulos then called all-in when the flop came 10♥9♣7♥.

Alexi Skoulos: K♦J♦J♣6♣
Gab Yong Kim: K♥K♣6♥5♣

The superior pocket pair came out on top when the 7♠ turn and 7♣ river completed the board, giving Kim sevens full of kings. Skoulos was the next to depart from the very same table as the field reached 17 contenders still in the mix.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Quirin Zech in the big blind reraised enough to put Omar Eljach all in, and Eljach called for his last 185,000 in the cutoff.

Omar Eljach: Q♠J♣J♥5♥
Quirin Zech: A♣A♠9♦2♦

The flop came 10♠2♠10♣ and Eljach didn't find anything to overcome Zech's aces. The rest of the board ran out 3♠Q♥ and Eljach's quest for a second bracelet in 2023 came to an end.
