Nauhria Over 100k

Akshay Nauhria limped in from the cutoff only to have Luke Edwards bump it to 7,500 from the button.

Nauhria made the call before checking the {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop as Edwards continued for another 7,500.

Nauhria quickly check-raised all in to force a fold from Edwards as he slipped to 16,000 as Nauhria climbed over the 100,000-chip mark.

Kashyap Slips

In a hand that took up the majority of the break, a player himself all in for 15,500 on the {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Nauv Kashyap made the call from the cutoff as the button was left to act.

After six minutes of emotionless sitting, Kashyup finally asked him whether or not he knew the action was on him, and once the button player realized, he quickly folded his hand.

Kashyup: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The turn and river landed the {8-Hearts} and {6-Spades} to see Kashyup double his opponent up, but still remain on top of the leaderboard with 198,000 in chips.

Turker Topples

In a battle of the blinds, both Koray Turker and Andrew Hinrichsen saw a {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop fall after both committing 2,700 preflop.

Turker fired out 3,000 and Hinrichsen bumped it to 8,000 only to have Turker make it 14,200. Hinrichsen moved all in and Turker made the call for his tournament life.

Turker: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Hinrichsen: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

With Hinrichsen in the lead, Turker would need a heart to take the lead, but when the {2-Clubs} landed on the turn, he picked up a gutshot to the wheel.

Unfortunately for Turker, the {3-Clubs} would land on the river to see him make only a pair - and consequently be bumped to the rail as Hinrichsen soars to 126,000 in chips.

Kroger KO'd

Michael Kroger
Michael Kroger

Michael Kroger opened to 3,000 from under the gun and was met with three callers to see a {Q-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop fall.

The big blind - William Woolsey - led out for 7,000 only to have Kroger move all in for 11,600 total. The two other active players kicked their cards to the muck as Woolsey made the call.

Kroger: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Woolsey: {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

With Kroger needing to spike an ace or running cards for a straight or flush, he would see the {10-Hearts} land on the turn to complete the backdoor straight draw.

But when the {6-Hearts} landed on the river, Kroeger would be sent to the rail as Woolsey climbs to 60,000 in chips.

Victorino Vanquished

Victorino Torres
Victorino Torres

Not much can be detailed in regards to Victorino Torres' elimination hand since his table broke soon after his exit.

However, what has been uncovered is that Torres held {K-}{q-} on a {Q-}{10-}{6-} board against a player holding {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for a straight and flush draw.

Unfortunately for the APPT Macau Champion, the turn would land the {6-Spades} to end his tournament prematurely.
