Stavrakis Surrenders Some Chips

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Dan Samson and Edouardos Stavrakis were heads up on a turn of 8Q76, with 26,500 chips already in the pot. Samson checked from the hijack and Stavrakis followed suit on the button.

The 7 river then completed the board and saw Samson make a bet of 12,000. Stavrakis quickly flicked in a call and Samson tabled 95 for a straight.

Thinking he had won, Stavrakis flipped over his A10, but he quickly saw that the pot was shipped to Samson. Meanwhile, defending champion David Docherty is also at this table and has doubled his starting stack.

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Wouter Beltz
Wouter Beltz

Wouter Beltz and Luka Sorainen were heads up on a turn of 6JK7, on which Beltz checked to Sorainen. Sorainen then made a bet of 7,500 into the pot of 9,000.

Beltz mulled it over for a bit before jamming all in, covering Sorainen's stack of 50,000 chips. Sorainen quickly put in the call and the cards went on their backs.

Luka Sorainen: KJ All in
Wouter Beltz: 66

Beltz's flopped set held as the 10 river did not give Sorainen a full house. After a slow start, Beltz crossed the six-figure mark while Sorianen was sent to the reentry desk.

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ian O'Flynn checked from under the gun to Grzegorz Kozieja in the hijack. With 9,200 chips in the pot, Kozieja made a bet of 6,100 on the flop of QQ3. O'Flynn put in a call before the A turn rolled off.

Kozieja opted to downsize to 2,300 after another check from O'Flynn, leaving himself 8,000 chips back. O'Flynn then put the Polish player all in, and a swift fold followed, seeing the pot shipped O'Flynn's way.

Kyte Calls It Off

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Niall McAree in middle position and Jon Kyte in the hijack had gathered 9,500 chips preflop when both players knuckled the Q57 flop. McAree then made a bet of 5,500 on the subsequent Q turn, which Kyte called.

The 7 turn completed the board and McAree quickly moved all in, covering the 14,000 chips Kyte had left. Kyte tossed in a call, but tried to muck his cards when McAree showed QJ for a full house.

The dealer turned over Kyte's A8 to confirm his elimination, and he quickly left the tournament area.
