Ivan Freitez Eliminated in 16th Place (DKK 105,000)

[user76023]

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Oooh, this is a biggy! Simon Hanninger opened to 35,000 from UTG and Ivan Freitez then 3-bet to 135,000 a couple of seats down before Michael Tureniec slid out a cold 4-bet to 285,000.

Nick Weathall and James Hartigan both commented that this looked very much like a huge hand and Tureniec was not likely to be messing around. Hanninger quickly folded but Freitez decided to just call for what was about a third of his stack.

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {8-Hearts} and Tureniec quickly moved all-in. Freitez called instantly and flipped {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} having outdrawn the Swede's {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} . Freitez simply had to avoid one of two remaining aces to win a huge double up.

Then - BOOM! The {A-Spades} came on the turn and suddenly from the driving seat, Freitez was suddenly needing the case jack to survive. The river was the {3-Spades} and it changed nothing.
