Sean Winter

Sean Winter moved all in for 121,000 in the cutoff, and Bryn Kenney called to put him at risk in the small blind. Kenney briefly showed pocket sevens, but there was a hand in progress at the other table, so he turned them back over.

Winter took the opportunity to let Kenney know what he was up against. “Queens,” Winter disclosed.

“So we’re flipping?” Kenney asked.

When the other hand was complete, the hands were shown down.

Winter: QcQd
Kenney: 7s7h

Kenney had only been joking, but the Kh9h8h flop provided quite the sweat. The 9s turn and Ks river completed the board safely for Winter, though, and he doubled up with kings and queens.

Sean Winter – 266,000 (17 bb)
Bryn Kenney – 390,000 (24 bb)

Pham: KhJs
Shevelev: KdKs

Pham was in a lot of trouble and he was not bailed out on the 9h5d3s8c5h board to exit in 13th place.

Aleksandr Shevelev – 5,080,000 (127 bb)
Cong Pham – Eliminated in 13th place ($31,989)

Rainer Kempe

Schwarmann: 4h3c
Kempe: Kd2h

Lander Lijo

Ben Tollerene opened the cutoff to 28,000, and Stefan Schillhabel three-bet to 90,000 on the button. Lander Lijo called all in for 85,000 in the small blind, and Tollerene folded out of the way.

Schillhabel: KhQd
Lijo: 6h6d

The AcQc3c flop gave Schillhabel a big lead, and the Ad turn didn’t change much. Lijo was already standing from his chair, but he snapped his finger at the spot where the river card awaited, just for good measure.

Sure enough, the 6s appeared, giving him sixes full and a double-up.

“Whoops,” Lijo said as he sat back down in his seat.

Lander Lijo – 224,000 (19 bb)
Stefan Schillhabel – 965,000 (80 bb)
