On a board of 3♣10♦5♣A♦, Dalibor Mijic fired a bet of 4,000 into the pot of around 8,000, which Jon Ander Vallinas called.

A flush-completing 8♣ landed on the river and Mijic thought for a while before he checked. Vallinas then announced a bet of 18,000, which was all of the chips in his stack, and Mijic quickly folded.

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Raviteja Obili limped in from the small blind and Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised to 3,600 from the big blind. Obili made the call.

The flop came 7♦5♣4♥ and Obili check-called a 3,000 bet from Troyanovskiy.

Both players then checked the Q♠ turn and K♦ river. Obili turned over A♠7♠ for a pair of sevens and Troyanovskiy mucked.

A few hands later, Troyanovskiy found himself all in from the small blind for around 25,000 and was up against Obili who covered him.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy: A♦2♥ All in
Raviteja Obili: A♣Q♥

Troyanovskiy was in rough shape with the smaller ace and couldn't catch up on the 9♥7♦9♠3♠9♣ runout, resulting in his elimination while Raviteja collected the last of his chips.

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were already over 30,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 3♦J♥10♠ when Juan Gomez Moya committed his last 5,000 chips, which Laurence Stein called.

Juan Gomez Moya: K♣4♣ All in
Laurence Stein: A♣K♠

Moya needed a lot of help from the dealer but it didn't arrive as neither the 2♣ turn nor 6♦ river could save him from elimination.

Grane Hits the Rail One Hand After Eventful Three-Way Chop

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Vitalii Zimkovskyi was all in for around 16,000 from middle position and Diogo Da Silva made the call from the hijack. Albert Grane also committed his short stack from the big blind.

Vitalii Zimkovskyi: 4♠4♥ All in
Albert Grane: A♦7♦ All in
Diogo Da Silva: 5♣5♦

All caught a piece of the 6♠7♣5♠ flop but Da Silva's set was best and looked good to thin the field down by two. However, Zimkovskyi took the lead on the 3♠ as he turned a straight, which left Grane drawing dead to a chop. The entire table chuckled as the 4♦ landed on the river, which meant the three chopped up the chips in the middle.

Grane's tenure in the tournament didn't last another hand, however, as he was all in with K♠6♦ and up against the Q♦Q♣ of Fabiano Teixeira. The runout of 4♦5♣9♣8♠9♥ didn't help Grane, and he made his way to the exit.
