Mateos Eliminates Yu

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Dario Sammartino opened for 160,000 first to act and got three-bet to 450,000 by Adrian Mateos in the next seat. Dennis Yu called off for 350,000 in the big blind. Sammartino put in the requisite chips after eyeing his neighbor's stack and they checked down a board of {q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Yu showed {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Sammartino hadn't paired either but his {a-Spades}{9-Spades} was good. Mateos had the best ace with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} though and took it down.

Grospellier Eliminated; Players Redrawing Around Three Tables

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Bertrand Grospellier
Bertrand Grospellier

For the second hand in a row Bertrand Grospellier raised all in, this time for 415,000. It folded to Nick Petrangelo in the small blind.

"I'm all in, but I want that Mau5," said Petrangelo, referring to Grospellier's card protector. The big blind folded and the cards were turned over.

Nick Petrangelo: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Bertrand Grospellier: {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

There was a Jack in the window of a {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} flop. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and the river the {k-Spades} meaning Grospellier was eliminated. The Frenchman left the tournament area, with Petrangelo left Mau5-less.

Farrell Busts Sekularac

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Niall Farrell from Day 1 of Event #9
Niall Farrell from Day 1 of Event #9

Niall Farrell just won one of the biggest pots of the tournament. Midway through the preflop action, it looked like Philipp Gruissem started the action with a raise to 135,000 and Ognjen Sekularac called from the small blind before Farrell three-bet to 575,000. Gruissem called in position and Sekularac shoved all in for 2,250,000.

Farrell didn't take long to shove over the top, putting Gruissem at risk should he call. Gruissem folded and Farrell showed two jacks, {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}. He was against the {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of Sekularac.

The board settled things pretty quickly with Farrell flopping a set and Sekularac was drawing dead on the turn. The final board read {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Farrell won the hand and jumped over 5,000,000.

"I had already booked my flight back home to Scotland when I saw his hand," Farrell said jokingly.

Earlier in the day, Sekularac caught an ace against Farrell's pocket kings to double through him and Farrell seemed prepared for the same to happen again.

Jan Schwippert
Jan Schwippert

Jan Schwippert raised to 180,000 from middle position and Timothy Adams three-bet all in from the hijack for 1,410,000. Andrew Leathem thought about it in the small blind before folding.

Schwippert called and the cards were turned over.

Jan Schwippert: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Timothy Adams: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out [ihks7dtd2c] and Schwippert was left with around 200,000 which went in against Nick Petrangelo in the very next hand.

Nick Petrangelo: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Jan Schwippert: {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Schwipper picked up a flush draw on the {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and the {q-Diamonds} sealed his elimination, sending him to the rail.

Farrell Shoves on Schillhabel

Level 16 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Stefan Schillhabel bet 250,000 from under the gun on a {q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop, and Niall Farrell called from a couple of seats over. Schillhabel's second barrel of 575,000 was also met with a call after the {3-Clubs} fell. Finally, the German checked the {7-Hearts}. Farrell thought about 30 seconds and then moved in for approximately 1.4 million and Schillhabel's cards found their way to the muck in a hurry.

Schwippert Trips Up Schemion

Level 16 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

On a {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Spades} flop Jan Schwippert checked and Ole Schemion checked behind. The turn was the {j-Hearts} and Schwippert bet 195,000. Schemion called.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and Schwippert moved all in for 445,000. Schemion thought for a while, counting out the chips, before calling.

Schwippert turned over {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for trip jacks and Schemion's {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} was exposed before being sent into the muck.
