Livello 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Aaron Duczak raised to 13,000 in first position which saw Robrecht Winterink call on the button. In the small blind, Leonid Yanovski potted to 54,000 and Duczak folded while Winterink called for slightly less to put himself at risk.

Robrecht Winterink: A♣Q♣Q♠6♥4♠
Leonid Yanovski: A♥K♥10♣5♥2♥

The board ran out K♦K♣6♥8♠6♣ and the three kings were good for Yanovski to take down the pot while Winterink exited the tournament area.

Kessler Gets It In "Dead" But Gets There To Scoop

Livello 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was recapped by Allen Kessler as his stack had grown significantly since the start of the day.

Kessler had seen a flop from the button and both players had gotten in their chips on a flop reading A♣2♠9♦, with Kessler having put himself all in for 38,000.

Allen Kessler: A♠Q♣7♣3♣2♥
Opponent: A♦9♠5♥4♦3♥

Kessler needed to catch a queen, running sevens, or running clubs to survive and he caught that on the Q♦A♥ runout to double up.

"Wow," he exclaimed, "I got it in drawing basically dead."

Alexander Orlov: A♠A♣J♣4♠3♣
Jeffrey Vaughn: A♥6♦6♥4♣2♠

The board ran out Q♦7♠ and the sixes full of eights and nut low was good enough for Vaughn to take both halves of the pot and Orlove was eliminated from the tournament.

Orlov Loving Life

Livello 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With the flop already out and reading J♣4♣Q♦, a short-stacked Tom Koral was all in and facing Alexandr Orlov in the small blind.

Tom Koral: A♥6♦6♣3♠2♥
Alexandr Orlov: A♠Q♥9♠5♥4♠

Orlov had flopped two pair and the 9♣ on the turn meant there would be no low. After the river bricked for Koral, he was sent to the rail.
