Another Well-Deserved Break

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The last break just ended, and James Florence was eliminated in the first hand back, so it seems fitting that the remaining nine players should enjoy another well-deserved break after three minutes of hard work.

The tournament staff are setting up for the live stream, so the remaining players are on a quick break until that is complete.

Hands #1-5: Koppel Rivers Two Pair

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #1: Mohsin Charania raised to 65,000 under the gun, and Samuel Phillips three-bet to 175,000. Everyone folded.

Hand #2: Andy Frankenberger raised to 65,000 from the cutoff, and Charania shoved all in from the big blind. Frankenberger quickly mucked his hand.

Hand #3: Yanki Koppel raised 70,000 from the button, and Charania re-raised to 185,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded, along with Koppel.

Hand #4: The action was folded to Phillips, in the small blind, who moved all in. Cary Katz folded his big blind.

Hand #5: Koppel raised to 65,000, and Phillips called on the button. Both players checked the entire way with the board reading {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{j-Clubs}, and Koppel tabled {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} to win the hand.

Milan Simko Eliminated in 9th Place ($28,239)

Hand #19: Mikhail Rudoy raised to 70,000 from the hijack, and Milan Simko moved all in for 405,000 from the small blind. Rudoy thought for a moment and called.

Rudoy was at risk with {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, slightly ahead of Rudoy's {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

The flop came {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, giving Rudoy a commanding lead with top pair and a flush draw. The turn was the {6-Spades}, and Simko needed to hit a five or an off-suit ace to improve. Unfortunately for him, the river was the {7-Hearts}, and he was eliminated in ninth place.
