Kelopuro Coming Back

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 18,000 ante

Sami Kelopuro got short but doubled through Ami Barer after turning trips for free in a three-way pot against his top-top.

Then, he saw a {3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop for the minimum against Andrii Novak blind versus blind. Kelopuro bet 120,000 and Novak called. He checked the {5-Hearts} and Novak bet 450,000. Kelopuro called, bringing a {q-Diamonds}. He check-called all in for about 1.7 million, a little over the pot.

Novak showed {k-Spades}{2-Hearts} for air and Kelopuro took it with {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Bruno Volkmann Eliminated in 4th Place ($84,841)

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 18,000 ante

Andrii Novak raised to 240,000 on the button and Bruno Volkmann shoved in the small blind for just over 3 million. Ami Barer came over the top all in and folded out Novak.

Barer: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Volkmann: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Volkmann stayed best on the {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop. Not the {q-Hearts} turn though leaving him in need on the river. A bricky {2-Hearts} fell.

Renan Bruschi Eliminated in 5th Place ($91,154)

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Andrii Novak raised to 200,000 in the cutoff and Renan Bruschi shoved for 1,581,633 in the next seat. He fired in the "one time" emoji as Novak made the call.

Novak: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Bruschi: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

It wasn't a bad spot for Bruschi's suited and live cards, and he turned a flush draw as {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} hit. But the river harmlessly paired the board with the {3-Diamonds}, leaving him busted.

Chris Rudolph Eliminated in 6th Place ($70,832)

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Christian Rudolph
Christian Rudolph

Renan Bruschi opened for 200,000 in the cutoff and Chris Rudolph jammed on his left for about 1.5 million. Ami Barer woke up with a raise from the big blind that chased Bruschi.

Rudolph: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Barer: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The {2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} was safe for Barer but the {3-Clubs} turn made things sweaty. Rudolph couldn't get there on the {4-Spades} river.

Wei Zhao Eliminated in 7th Place ($58,106)

Level 24 : 40,000/80,000, 12,000 ante

Andrii Novak opened under the gun for 160,000 and Wei Zhao shoved for about 1.1 million in the cutoff. The button and blinds folded but Novak called with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Zhao had overcards with {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and they came home on the {3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop.

However, Novak had flopped way the best of it with his set. The {k-Diamonds} gave Zhao a shot but the {7-Hearts} didn't do it.

Volkmann Doubles Through Rudolph

Level 23 : 30,000/60,000, 9,000 ante

Bruno Volkmann had about 700K left when he opened for a min-raise under the gun and called a shove from Chris Rudolph in the small blind.

Volkmann: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Rudolph: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop was bad for Rudolph and things got worse on the {5-Hearts} turn. The one-outer didn't come home for him.

Enrico Camosci Eliminated in 8th Place ($56,064)

Level 23 : 30,000/60,000, 9,000 ante
Enrico Camosci
Enrico Camosci

Action folded to the button, where Enrico Camosci crammed in 810K. Andrii Novak looked him up in the big blind with {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Camosci had to be disappointed to see he was pipped with {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

The {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop brought some chopping potential for Camosci but low cards fell on the {8-Spades} turn and {6-Hearts} river.
