Bercovici May Have Lost the Minimum

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Harry Bercovici bet 10,000 on a {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Spades} board from the small blind and Michal Mrakes made it 35,000 on his left. A third player mucked and Bercovici called. On the {j-Diamonds} river, Bercovici checked. Mrakes bet 82,000 and Bercovici sighed and shifted in his chair. He announced a call moments later and Mrakes showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for the nut straight, and Bercovici showed he'd been coolered: {6-}{5-}.

Mustafa Eliminated to Reach Stone Bubble

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Amjad Mustafa jammed on the button for 40,000 and Rasmus Vogt called in the small blind. The player in the big blind whistled upon seeing his cards but ultimately decided to fold after about 30 seconds.

Vogt: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Mustafa: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, no help to Mustafa. That means the next eliminated player will be the last to go home empty-handed.

Paris Stavridis: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Marco Regonaschi: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out clean with {3-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Regonaschi doubled.

Zyrin Doubles Through Kalaroutis

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Dimitrios Kalaroutis bet 25,000 from the small blind into two opponents on a board of {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Anatolii Zyrin called from early position and the river was a {9-Hearts}. Kalaroutis checked and Zyrin bet 48,000. Kalaroutis moved all in and Zyrin double-checked his cards and snap-called, flipping over {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a boat.

The staff quickly instructed him to turn the cards back over as all of the tables weren't done dealing. Moments later, the cards were shown again and Kalaroutis could only smile and show {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a bluff.

Konnikova Among Early Busts

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Here's a look at some of the players eliminated in advance of the bubble. The fallen include bracelet winner Norbert Szecsi, high-stakes online cash player Liviu Ignat and Friend of PokerStars Maria Konnikova.

Foxen Busts Kappenberg

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Igor Kurganov limped under the gun for 4,000 and Marcin Horecki joined from middle position. Small blind Alex Foxen thought about it for a bit before completing and big blind Sebastian Kappenberg checked.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and the blinds and Kurganov checked. Horecki bet 12,000. Foxen check-raised to 31,500 and big blind Kappenberg tanked for quite some time before shoving for 37,500. Horecki called, and so did Foxen.

The {A-Clubs} on the turn saw Foxen shove and Horecki folded instantly.

Sebastian Kappenberg: {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Alex Foxen: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The {A-Diamonds} river couldn't help Kappenberg and he departed as one of the last ones before the bubble.
