Rauno Tahvonen Doubles

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Rauno "Ben" Tahvonen
Rauno "Ben" Tahvonen

With just five big blinds left, Rauno Tahvonen looked down at {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and quickly went all in. Bhavin Khatri folded ace-five in the small blind, but Dejan Govedic instantly called with {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} in the big blind.

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{3-Spades} and the "Estonian Jesus", as he's affectionally called by both the commentators and Twitch-chat, doubled up.

Manuel Bardon open-shoved 680,000 in middle position. Dejan Govedic reshoved all in from the button to get the other players out of the hand.

Dejan Govedic: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Both players paired up on {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Bardon was eliminated. The last Spaniard finished in 8th place, which netted him a sweet payday of £8,750.

Martin Gallagher Eliminated in 9th Place (£7,010)

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Martin Gallagher
Martin Gallagher

Francis Foord-Brown opened with a raise to 80,000 holding {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Martin Gallagher went all-in on the button for 450,000 with {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}.

[Removed:158] picked up {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} in the big blind and called the shove, but folded when Foord-Brown went all-in over the top.

The {K-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop all but sealed it. After the {9-Hearts} on the turn it was done, making the {9-Clubs} on the river meaningless. Gallagher, a plumber in daily life, received £7,010

Kuznetsov Cripples Bardon

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Anton Kuznetsov raised to 80,000 with {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Manuel Bardon peeled with {8-Clubs}{4-Spades} in the big blind. The flop was {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Bardon check-called a bet of 125,000.

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn promised fireworks, as Bardon improved to two pair and Kuznetsov to a straight. Bardon checked, Kuznetsov bet 250,000 and Bardon called.

On the {K-Diamonds} river, Bardon checked a third time. Kuznetsov sized out a value bet of 400,000 and Bardon snap-called. Kuznetsov showed the nuts, but Bardon quickly showed as well thinking his hand was good. After a short moment, the Spaniard realised he had lost and shipped 400k over to the Russian.

Van Lancker Doubles Through Foord-Brown

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

[Removed:158] raised to 95,000 with {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Dejan Godevic called with {K-Diamonds} and an unknown card on the button, Francis Foord-Brown called with {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} from the small blind and Kevin Barden defended {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Van Lancker continued with 255,000 and Godevic folded quickly. Foord-Brown check-raised with a massive amount of T-100,000 chips, enough to cover both players. Barden folded, but Van Lancker instantly called.

The turn {4-Spades} and river {A-Hearts} were safe for Van Lancker, who doubled up through the chipleader.
