One Double-Up and Two Eliminations on Table Three

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Manuel Labous
Manuel Labous

Maxim Bevers was all-in with the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and clashed with another jack-ten suited, as Yury Masliankou revealed the {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop left Bevers with zero equity, making the {8-Diamonds} turn and {10-Spades} river a formality.

Frederic Delval then flopped the nut flush with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} against the {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} of Nariman Yaghmai on a board of {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} for the double.

Last but not least, table chip leader Manuel Labous added to the "I flopped a flush collection" by dispatching Masliankou. On a {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} board, the {k-Spades}{9-Spades} of the Belorussian stood no chance versus {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

Banic Busts to Massaro

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Down to around 100,000, Ivan Banic moved all-in and found a customer in Cedric Massaro from one seat over.

Ivan Banic: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Cedric Massaro: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop gave Massaro a set while Banic needed a six or running fours to avoid the elimination. No miracle came on the {a-Clubs} turn and {k-Hearts} river to sent the Croatian to the payout desk.

Veldhuis Eliminated in Spectacular Three-Way All-In

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui
Mehdi Chaoui

Soon after his last two all-in clashes, Lex Veldhuis was all-in once more and Mehdi Chaoui also got a shorter stack into the middle from the next seat. Maxim Bevers looked them both up and had the best pocket pair of the trio involved.

Lex Veldhuis: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Mehdi Chaoui: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Maxim Bevers: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop kept Bevers on track for a double elimination. After the {5-Spades} turn, Chaoui picked up a gutshot and asked for a six. Instead, he hit the {8-Hearts} on the river to improve to a winning set. His 245,000 ensured a triple up while Veldhuis was sent to the payout desk.

Marius-Alexandru Gicovanu
Marius-Alexandru Gicovanu

The cards were already on their backs when Marius Gicovanu was all-in and at risk with the {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. That had flopped a set on {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and he was miles ahead of the {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} of Daewoong Song.

The {10-Hearts} turn confirmed the double of Gicovanu which made the {8-Clubs} river a formality.

Veldhuis Busts Reard; Doubles Yaghmai

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Alexandre Reard had the best of it with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} when he was all-in, as Lex Veldhuis only had the inferior pocket pair in {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

The {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs} board improved Veldhuis to a set and Reard was sent to the payout desk.

Nariman Yaghmai then jammed a short stack and Veldhuis as the single big blind called.

Nariman Yaghmai: {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Lex Veldhuis: {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

The {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board kept Yaghmai in contention as he doubled for just 51,000.
