dsalituro

Nível 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer limped in from the small blind and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau checked his option.

The flop came J♠4♠6♥ and O'Dwyer led out for 40,000. Vaskaboinikau then moved all in for 202,000 and O'Dwyer called.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 7♦5♦
Steve O'Dwyer: 7♠6♦

O'Dwyer was ahead with his pair of sixes, while Vaskaboinikau was on a straight draw. The K♦ turn left Vaskaboinikau down to his last card to avoid being eliminated on the bubble. The river came the 3♥ and Vaskaboinikau completed his straight to double up, leaving O'Dwyer as a short stack.

Adams Eliminated; Grafton Doubles

Nível 13 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Timothy Adams shoved 163,000 under the gun, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called in the cutoff before Sam Grafton moved all-in on the button. Vaskaboinikau asked for a count and called after hearing it was 306,000.

Timothy Adams: 9♦9♥
Sam Grafton: A♠K♠
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A♣Q♥

Adams was in the lead with a pair of nines until the A♦10♦3♦ flop hit the felt, pairing the ace for both of his opponents. Adams was unable to catch another diamond or a nine as the board completed with the 8♣ turn and J♣ river, sending him out of the tournament while Grafton's king-kicker earned him the double.

dsalituro

Nível 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau was left short stacked after handing over the double up to Timothy Adams and just survived four all-in shoves in a row.

The second time, Kayhan Mokri tanked in the big blind after Vaskaboinikau moved in for around 200,000 and folded what he claimed were pocket fives. "Fives I call myself," Vaskaboinikau told him. The next hand, Vaskaboinikau shoved again and showed A♣Q♠ when the rest of the table folded.

Mokri then raised to 26,000 in the cutoff and Adams called on the button. Vaskaboinikau, in the big blind, moved all in for 253,000 and Mokri quickly folded. Adams gave the decision some thought but eventually joined Mokri in the muck as Vaskaboinikau showed the 6♣.

Nível 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 24,000 in the hijack and received calls from Kayhan Mokri in the small blind and big blind Timothy Adams.

All three players checked the A♦9♦2♣ flop before Mokri led out for 62,000 on the 5♠ turn. Adams used two time banks before he called.

Vaskaboinikau then splashed in a raise of 395,000, leaving himself 10,000 behind, and Mokri quickly folded. Adams, though, snap-called for his last 210,000 and turned over 2♥2♠ for a flopped set.

Vaskaboinikau could only show A♠K♦ and handed over the massive double once the 8♣ completed the board.

Nível 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alejandro Lococo pushed his last 85,000 in the middle from under the gun and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called next to act. The rest of the table got out of the way.

Alejandro Lococo: A♥5♥
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A♦K♦

"That's not good," Lococo said as the K♣ fell in the window, followed by the 6♥J♦. Lococo was already drawing dead after the 8♦ turn and began going around the table giving his tablemates a fist bump before the 8♣ river sealed the elimination of "Papo MC."

Felipe Ketzer: A♥K♥
Steve O'Dwyer: A♠A♦

It was a cooler for Ketzer as he ran into the aces of O'Dwyer and the board ran out J♣8♠5♥4♣3♣, sending him to the rail.

Patrik Antonius: 5♦5♠
