Up and Down for Ivgi
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
With 10,000 in the middle and the flop showing 
, Jacqueline Meecham bet 7,000 and Kfir Ivgi moved all in for 21,700. Meecham asked for a count and used one time bank before folding.
Soon after, Ivgi had an opponent at risk with 
versus 
and wanted to muck his cards on the 
flop already. The dealer turned them over again after the 
turn, but the 
river was a blank. Ivgi's wild ride continues, as he dropped back below the starting stack.

MacIntyre Back
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Fraser MacIntyre has been spotted back in action over on table five that also includes the current big stacks Ramlal Basdeo and Ion Albu. MacIntyre had already chipped up some on his third bullet for the day and bet the 
river for 6,000 in the small blind. His sole remaining opponent folded and floor staff then talked to MacIntyre.
Apparently, there had been a bet out of turn previously and a possible penalty on the next offense was mentioned.

Hussain Takes on O'Dea
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
Eoghan O'Dea raised to 1,500 and the hijack called, Mudasser Hussain then three-bet to 4,500 on the button and O'Dea called, which forced out the hijack. The flop was checked by O'Dea and he called a bet of 5,000. After the turn, O'Dea checked once more and Hussain's bet of 10,000 did the trick to force a fold.
"I think I got the maximum," Hussain said while dragging in the pot. O'Dea has started very well into the day, but one player has even more chips on the very same table. Gary Bluston has already tripled up his stack and appears among the current chip leaders.
