Rheem Closing in on Yotsushika

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 3,000 ante

On a {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board, and with close to 100,000 chips in the middle, Koray Aldemir bet 74,000 and Chino Rheem was thinking about his decision.

Eventually, Rheem called and Aldemir showed {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for king-high. Rheem slammed {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} face up which was good enough to take down the pot and move over 550,000 in chips.

O'Neill Takes from Nolet

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 3,000 ante

Guillaume Nolet raised to 11,500 from under the gun and Jack O'Neill called in the big blind.

The flop landed {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades} and O'Neill checked to Nolet who continued for 18,500.

O'Neill called, and then both players checked down the {8-Clubs} and {5-Diamonds} on the turn and river.

Nolet tabled his {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, but it would be O'Neill's {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} that would earn him the pot.

Salter Doubles Through Yotsushika

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 3,000 ante

Having check-called two streets on a {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} board, Jack Salter checked a {5-Hearts} river to his opponent Kazuhiko Yotsushika with 120,000 in the middle already. Yotsushika bet 50,000 and Salter check-raised all in for 202,500.

Yotsushika thought for a while before calling and turning over {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for top pair. Salter showed {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and the Japanese player appeared to be surprised that a flush was possible. He counted out the chips and Salter scored a double up through the overnight hip leader.

Vishal Maini opened pre-flop and got calls from Rainer Kempe and Jack O'Neill in the small and big blind respectively.

With the action back on Maini he then raised all in for 224,500. Kempe counted out his stack before turning over {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and calling.

Maini held {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for the nut flush draw, but the {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts} run out was no good and he was eliminated.

The tournament is now down to the last four tables.
