Level: 11
Limits: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 200
After two levels of play, the players are on their first twenty minute break of the day.
We found Al 'Sugar Bear' Barbieri all in against three opponents. Unfortunately, Barbieri was no longer at the table by fifth and had exited the tournament area. After the hand played out, Barbieri was officially eliminated.
Smirnov: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Proulx: (X)(X) / 
FOLDED
Bihl: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
We caught up with the action on fifth where Miguel Proulx checked to Thomas Bihl who bet. The action was on Mikhaeil Smirnov next who raised and Proulx folded. Bihl came along and said “Oh, come on” when he made trips on sixth where both players checked. On seventh, both players checked again and Bihl showed for a king-low. Smirnov turned over 
for a jack-low which was good to win the pot as Bihl nodded his head in frustration.

George Lewis completed with an , Owais Ahmed called with a , and the two went heads up to sixth street.
Lewis: (X)(X) /
Ahmed: (X)(X) /
Phil Laak was calling the action as it happened, doing his best Lon McCarren impersonation. Ahmed bet when Lewis bricked on fourth, and Lewis called. Lewis returned the favor on fifth when Ahmed caught a queen, and Ahmed called. Lewis paired on sixth though, and when Ahmed bet he quickly folded.
"I was on the edge of my seat there," George Lind said with regards to Laak's commentating.
"Owais has technqiue!" Laak blurted.
Habib: (X)(X) /
Paulson: (X)(X) /
Hasan Habib completed and Kai Paulson raised. Habib made the call and check-called Paulson’s all in for 500 as the players revealed their cards.
Habib:
Paulson:
Habib paired his on sixth while Paulson also hit a to give him a seven low. Habib’s on sixth had him drawing dead as Paulson doubled up but was still short while Habib’s stack got a bit shorter himself.
