Ponakovs Takes From Zhang

Level 25 : 12,500/25,000, 3,000 ante

Right before the blinds went up, Chi Zhang min-raised again and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the button.

They checked to the {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{j-Spades} river and this time, Zhang check-called 62,500 by Ponakovs. Zhang had flopped best with {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} but Ponakovs had the best of it eventually with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

Koon Loses Some to Malinov

Level 25 : 12,500/25,000, 3,000 ante

Jason Koon limped the small blind and Arsenii Malinov checked his option. They checked through the {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop and Koon check-called for 50,000 on the {2-Diamonds} turn.

On the {4-Diamonds} river, Koon checked once more and Malinov bet 150,000 into a pot of 174,000. No call followed as Malinov gained further ground over all other opponents on his table.

In the meanwhile, Seth Davies has been busy on the other table to further boost his massive stack.

Ponakovs Pays off Zhang

Level 25 : 12,500/25,000, 3,000 ante

On the money bubble, Bruno Volkmann had to raise-fold twice to drop to a shorter stack.

In the meanwhile on the other table, Chi Zhang on the button battled with Aleksejs Ponakos in the small blind.

Zhang opened to 55,000 and was called by Ponakovs. They checked to the {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} river, on which Ponakovs reluctantly check-called a bet of 79,500. Zhang tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and that won the pot versus {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Menard vs Eibinger
Menard vs Eibinger

The field has reached the exact money bubble after the elimination of Kyle Menard, who came up short against Matthias Eibinger.

Menard was in the big blind and defended against the under-the-gun raise of Eibinger for 43,000. On the {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, Menard check-called for 60,000 and checked again the {5-Spades} turn. Eibinger moved all-in and Menard called for the last 246,439.

Kyle Menard: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Matthias Eibinger: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

No nine or queen appeared as the {6-Spades} river sent the chips over to Eibinger.
