Klinger Receives Boost

Despite being a short stack, Josef Klinger raised to 185,000 and [Removed:146] made the call behind him. Andrew Chen looked like he might make a squeeze play but then decided not to get involved.

Klinger fired out 250,000 on the {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} flop and Guerfi called. The turn was the {9-Spades} and Klinger moved all-in. Guerfi quickly folded.

Not So Sweet For Chouity

Nicolas Chouity raised to 180,000 preflop and Aleh Plauski made the call in the small blind.

The flop was {J-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and Plauski checked, then called a bet of 275,000 from Chouity. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and Plauski checked again, Chouity asked for a count before checking behind.

Both then also checked the {6-Spades} river and Chouity showed a missed {A-?} {Q-?}, Plauski took the pot with {K-?} {J-?}.

Chouity Turns Sour for Guerfi

Aleh Plauski opened for 220,000 and in the small blind [Removed:146] asked how much Plauski had behind. The answer was around 2.1 million, and after a while Guerfi reraised to 640,000.

Over to chip leader Nicolas Chouity in the big blind, who paused - and then announced all in to cover them both. "Oh, maybe you save me," said Plauski as he folded. Guerfi tanked for a while, and in the end he folded too.

Chouity moved up to 10,595,000. Guerfi's stack was reduced to 2,535,000.

Chouity took the next pot as well, three-betting Dominykas Karmazinas who folded swiftly.

Aleh and Josef Club Together To Give Klinger More Chips

Josef Klinger raised to 180,000. Aleh Plauski in the blinds asked how much he was playing. "1.9 million," was the reply.

Plauski made the call and the two saw a {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} flop, Plauski check-called a bet of 200,000 before both players checked the {5-Clubs} turn.

On the {A-Hearts} river, Plauski checked a third time and Klinger bet 300,000. Plauski sighed and said, "You've got it," he then folded.

It's very tight at the moment between all the short stacks.

Bad Karma for Chen

Karmazinas - turning up the aggression
Karmazinas - turning up the aggression
Andrew Chen raised to 185,000 and everyone else folded; he took the pot.

Next hand Chouity raised to 180,000. He picked up the blinds and antes.

The following hand Chen opened to 185,000 again but this time Dominykas Karmazinas on the button announced a reraise. It took him a while to decide on the amount, but finally opted for 420,000. The blinds both folded, and after just a very short while, so did Chen.
