Dan Shak Eliminated by Juha Helppi

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We missed what happened, and just saw Juha Helppi stacking chips while Dan Shak was leaving the tournament area. Helppi was in a hand, so we asked Mustapha Kanit what had happened.

Shak, who had just lost a sizable pot to Schemion, opened to 20,000 under the gun. Juha Helppi three bet to about 55,000 from the big blind and Shak four bet to 200,000 with 100,000 behind. Helppi then jammed and Shak called holding {A-}{Q-}. Helppi had {Q-}{Q-} and the board bricked out.

As the buy-ins go up the fields get smaller so it's no surprise that there are a number of rivalries being resumed here in Prague in this Super High Roller. Check the PokerStars Blog for the full story.

Markin and O'Dwyer let go

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

In the very hand of the previous level, Leonid Markin bet 50,000 on the turn of a {6-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} board and then folded to a raise of Timothy Adams to 145,000.

Over on the other table, Steve O'Dwyer and Olivier Busquet were involved in another bigger pot. Busquet bet the {Q-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} flop for 55,000 and O'Dwyer check-called before check-folding the {3-Diamonds} on the turn when Busquet moved all in with the slightly superior stack (230,000 chips).

Leah Loses the Lot

Ivan Soshnikov opened for 21,000 and Mike Leah sat to his left moved al in for 157,000. It folded back round to Soshnikov who called and tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

Leah turned his cards over with just the ten showing saying, “I need one of those.” The dealer spread them out to reveal his hand {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

It didn’t come though as the final board read {3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

Thorel Doubles Through Kabrhel

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The hand started with Jean-Noel Thorel raising to 30,000 from the hijack. Martin Kabrhel made the call from the cut off as did Leonid Markin on the big blind.

The flop came down {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Markin checked. Thorel didn’t hesitate, moving all in for his remaining 201,000 in chips. Kabrhel went into the tank for several minutes before finally making the call as Markin got out of the way.

Thorel: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Kabrhel: {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Kabrhel had many outs to trump Thorel but couldn’t catch any as the board ran out the {7-Spades} and {q-Clubs}.
