BenDemory

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

We picked up action with Michael Lang calling the all in bet of a player at risk on the button, with three cards displayed across the felt. Lang had his challenger covered by a strong margin, and the cards we flipped for all to see.

Button:
Michael Lang:

The button pushed with top pair and best kicker, but Lang was open-ended for the straight.

It was a shock to the button, when the fell on the turn, giving Lang the best possible hand. After the came on the river it was official that Lang became your current chip leader, and another player was eliminated after the bubble burst.

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was 65,000 in the middle on a completed board of and Thomas Eychenne was facing a bet of 100,000 from Barry Hutter, enough to put him all in.

Eychenne was in the tank, hoping the bubble would burst. He heard what he thought was the final player bursting from the bubble, and he called.

Hutter turned over and Eychenne's was beaten, unfortunately, it seemed the tournament did indeed need to lose one more player and he appeared to be it.

All remaining players are now in the money.

NicholasBaltz

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was an early position open and four players called to go five ways to a flop.

Action checked through to the turn and checked again to Richard Malone, who bet 16,000.

Jimmy D'Ambrosio then raised it up to 39,000 from the big blind and Malone called.

The river brought the and D'Ambrosio shoved all in, enough to cover Malone's remaining 110,000.

After some time in the tank, Malone folded.

D'Ambrosio turned over for a stone-cold bluff, much to the amusement of the table.

"Sometimes you gotta bully with the nine-high," said D'Ambrosio.

Faraz Jaka:
Button:

There was an ace in the window, but the flop was meant for Jaka as it came , giving him two pair over the button's top pair.
