Stok Wakes Up With Kings to Burst the Bubble

dsalituro

Nível 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On the last hand before players headed off on a 20-minute break, Pedro Neves raised to 16,000 under the gun before Giovani Torre moved all in for 171,000 in the middle position. Sven Stok called from the hijack, while Neves got out of the way.

"I hope we have the same hand," Torre told Stok as they waited to turn over their cards.

"Could be," Stok replied.

Giovani Torre: A♠K♦
Sven Stok: K♠K♣

Torre found out that they weren't sharing the same cards and he was left hoping to catch an ace to avoid being eliminated on the money bubble. The board ran out 2♥2♣8♥6♥4♣ and Torre failed to find his ace as he was sent to the rail.

The remaining 55 players are now in the money when they come back from break.

High Roller on Stone Bubble as Lybaert Departs

Nível 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ilia Pavlov raised to 13,000 from the hijack before Alex Keating moved all in for 81,000 on the button. Bart Lybaert called all in for 72,000 and Pavlov mucked.

"I have one gin and tonic and I'm all in. I'm such a degen," Lybaert said as they waited for action on the rest of the tables to finish before showing their cards.

"What are you guys all here for," Keating joked as a crowd gathered around the table. "I deserve to bubble. I haven't bubbled in a long time," Keating added.

Bart Lybaert: A♦K♣
Alex Keating: A♣Q♥

It was looking good for Lybaert, but the 8♥2♥Q♠ flop spelled disaster for him. The 7♣ turn and the 10♦ river could not save him and he was eliminated two spots before the money, meaning that the field had arrived at the stone bubble with 56 players remaining.

On the button, Steve O'Dwyer opened to 12,000. Then in the small blind, Boris Kolev three-bet all in for 80,000 chips. The big blind folded, and O'Dwyer called.

Boris Kolev: A♠6♦
Steve O'Dwyer: K♣J♣

O'Dwyer hit a jack and a flush draw on the flop 2♣9♣J♥ to take the lead. The 9♣ came on the turn, and the 3♣ on the river to complete the flush and eliminate Kolev.

Nazarian Sends Sereika to the Rail

Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Sergi Reixach opened the cutoff to 85,000 before facing a three-bet from Karolis Sereika on the button to 45,000. The action was then on Karen Nazarian in the small blind who moved all in having both players covered. Reixach folded and Sereika called off for his tournament life.

Karolis Sereika: K♣Q♣
Karen Nazarian: 8♥8♣

The full board ran out J♠6♣3♠5♣5♠ and Sereika hit the rail on the soft bubble.

Rezaei Runs Into Aces

Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

[Removed:452] raised to 10,000 from under the gun and Daniel Rezaei made a three-bet to 27,000. Kaladjurdjevic inquired about Rezaei's remaining chips before making the call.

The flop fell J♥7♠9♥ and Kaladjurdjevic decided to take a small stab with a lead of 10,000 chips. Rezaei then thought it over for a bit before jamming all in for 81,000 chips and Kaladjurdjevic immediately called.

Daniel Rezaei: A♠J♦
[Removed:452]: A♦A♣

Kaladjurdjevic had played his aces tricky, but Rezaei still had a small chance to crack them. However, the K♦3♦ runout did nothing for him, and he was eliminated just shy of the money.

Daniel Koloszar opened to 10,000 from under the gun then Dimitar Danchev, seated on his left, raised all in for 79,000 chips. The big blind hesitated, but eventually folded, and Koloszar called.

Dimitar Danchev: 10♥10♠
Daniel Koloszar: Q♠Q♣

The board 6♥K♥8♣2♦7♠ didn't change anything and Danchev was eliminated.

Stok Stocks Some More Chips

Nível 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ahmed Karrim and Sven Stok got all of their chips in preflop, with Karrim being the one at risk.

Ahmed Karrim: 7♦7♣
Sven Stok: 10♠10♦

The flop had Karrim drawing very slim as Stok flopped a set on 10♣4♥6♦ and he was left drawing dead on the 6♣ turn. Stok's full house would not further improve on the J♥ river, but it sent Karrim home nonetheless.
