Stokes Calls with One Pip Higher

Nível 37 : Blinds 175,000/350,000, 45,000 ante

Ivan "ILS007" Stokes opened the action with a raise to 700,000 from the hijack and Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber was the only caller, on the button.

Both players then checked on 7♥Q♣8♥5♥, before Kerber put out a bet of 1,400,000 on the 3♣ river once Stokes had checked again. Stokes made a quick call and Kerber showed A♠10♣ for ace-high.

Stokes tabled his A♦J♦ for a better ace-high and his hero call awarded him a nice pot.

Stokes Takes His Time

Nível 37 : Blinds 175,000/350,000, 45,000 ante

Niklas "Lena900" Astedt raised to 770,000 from the hijack and was met with a three-bet of 2,450,000 from button Ivan "ILS007" Stokes. With the action back on Astedt, he four-bet to 5,775,000 and this sent Stokes into a long tank.

After thinking for well over a minute, the Brit finally elected to fold his hand and Astedt chipped up without showdown.

Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber Eliminated in 7th Place ($159,958)

Nível 38 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber raised to 900,000 from under the gun before Ivan "ILS007" Stokes put in a three-bet to 3,400,000 from the mall blind. Kerber then four-bet to 6,600,000 and, after taking some time to think it over, Stokes jammed all in, covering Kerber's stack of 17,642,616.

Kerber quickly called and the two showed down.

Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber: Q♥Q♣
Ivan "ILS007" Stokes: A♠A♣

It was a dire situation for Kerber, who would gain the chip lead if he somehow won the pot. However, it was not to be when the board ran out 5♠2♠2♣5♦4♦. Stokes' aces remained the best hand and sent the Brazilian grinder home in 7th place.

Niklas "Lena900" Astedt made the raise to 880,000 from the cutoff and "ShipitFTW911" called from the button. On a heads-up flop of 2♣2♦7♦, Astedt continued with a bet of 877,800, and his fellow countryman made the call.

Astedt then bet an additional 1,103,900 on the 7♥ turn and once again "ShipitFTW911" made the call. The river fell the A♠ and Astedt completed the triple barrel with a bet of 3,974,040, this time getting a quick fold from his opponent and shipping him the pot.

Wakil Doubles Up, Maue Now Shortest

Nível 38 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil raised to 920,000 from the cutoff and faced a three-bet to 2,400,000 from small blind Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue. The action folded back to Wakil and he made the call.

The flop fell 4♥Q♠J♦ and Maue slowed down with a check. Wakil then made a bet of 1,380,000 before Maue shoved all in, covering the 7,000,000 chips Wakil still had behind. Wakil snap called and the two showed down.

Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil: A♦A♣
Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue: A♠K♥

Wakil had slow-played his aces preflop and was now in a prime spot to double up. He faded Maue's gutshot straight draw on the 8♣6♥ runout and doubled up, leaving Maue with the least chips on the table, with less than 20 big blinds at his disposal.

Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil Eliminated in 6th Place ($218,372)

Nível 38 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

One orbit after doubling up, Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil raised to 920,000 from the cutoff. This time, the action folded to Niklas "Lena900" Astedt in the big blind, who put out a three-bet to 3,400,000. Wakil dipped into his time bank before shoving all in for 17,867,782, and Astedt instantly called.

Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil: A♠K♥
Niklas "Lena900" Astedt: K♠K♦

The cooler fell in the favor of Astedt when the aces remained in the deck on 7♦7♣4♣3♠5♥. Astedt's kings made two pair and sent the disillusioned Wakil to the rail in sixth place.
