Action folded to Andrew Chen in the small blind. Chen shoved for about 400,000 and the decision was on Scott Seiver. Seiver tanked for a little bit, and then called.
Andrew Chen:
Scott Seiver:
Chen was ahead, though there were certainly "choppertunities". The flop made for a whole different scenario though as Seiver was now ahead. The on the turn didn't change that and neither did the on the river.
Davidi Kitai took out two players in same hand. Benjamin Pollak moved all in, Alex Bilokur was then all in and chip leader Kitai declared that he too was all in.
Benjamin Pollak:
Alex Bilokur:
Davidi Kitai:
The board ran out .
The jacks held for Kitai and with one fell swoop another two players were gone.
There will now be a table redraw for the last 15 players.
Spindler had shoved all in from the small blind and from the button already, and the next hand he did exactly that again, now from the cutoff. His all in was for 164,000 total and Pascal Lafrancois on the button was interested. Lefrancois moved all in over the top and both blinds folded.
Benny Spindler:
Pascal Lefrancois:
The on the flop made for a gut shot for both. The on the turn wasn't a great card for Spindler as he lost some of his outs. The on the river was a blank and Lefrancois eliminated his German neighbor.
Benny Spindler, who started the day almost twelve hours ago as chip leader, takes home €63,000. The remaining 17 players are now guaranteed €69,750. When one more player busts there will be a redraw done to two 8-handed tables.
Calvin Anderson made it 32,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Vasily Kylukin in the big blind who said "145" while he moved his stack in. "About" he added, but that wasn't binding of course. He in fact had 150,000 and had 5,000 behind now as the dealer made sure just 145,000 was out there.
After some hefty thinking, Anderson made the call and turned over his . The dealer closed his hand again as Kylukin wasn't all in, but after Scott Seiver interfered it was made sure just all the money was in the right place and the cards opened.
Anderson's king-nine was dominated by Kylukin's . The board didn't improve either and Kylukin doubled up.
Antoine Berube shoved all in under the gun for a little over 140,000 it seemed. Next to him was Rui Cao in the under the gun plus one position and he too shoved all in. All other players folded and Berube found out he was in trouble.
Antoine Berube:
Rui Cao:
The on the flop didn't mean anything for Berube. Cao hit his set on the -turn, but this meant Berube now had a gut shot. The four outs didn't materialize as the river bricked with a and Berube was sent home in 19th place, taking a cheque with him worth €63,000.
