Terry Jordon
Terry Jordon

Manuel Bardon had already vanished from table one and Terry Jordon also busted, albeit in cruel fashion.

Jordon was all in preflop with the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Ramon Miquel Munoz called with the {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The Spaniard turned a flush on the board {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and headed to the rail.

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Craig Sweden
Craig Sweden

Craig Sweden had been down to 17,000 and has since doubled not just twice, but now three times. In a flip he was at risk with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} against the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} of Ramon Miquel Munoz, his previous nemesis.

The board came {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} and an excited Sweden jumped out of his seat to celebrate, then added "I gonna destroy this table if I have chips."

Set for Merfeldas; Seat Open for Hizer

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Paul Hizer
Paul Hizer

Paul Hizer finished third in the High Roller and also cashed in the Main Event, but his run just came to an end.

Hizer had grinded a shorter stack for the past hour and was all in with the {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}, facing Arvydas Merfeldas and his {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Hizer improved on the {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop, but was left drawing dead on the {5-Hearts} turn to make the {9-Diamonds} river a formality.

"My first set today, I am so excited," Merfeldas exclaimed.

Persaud Rivers Souki

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The flop showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and action in a three-way pot checked to Nik Persaud on the button and he bet 36,000. The third player in the hand folded and Philippe Souki moved all in, Persaud called.

Nik Persaud: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Philippe Souki: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

Persaud had some outs, and the {Q-Clubs} turn and {J-Spades} river improved him to a straight while Souki's set was rather an upset.

Luppina Doubles Once More

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Gaetano Luppina had a flip with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} against the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} of Antoine Labat and the board came {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} to see Luppina turn a full house.

Craig Sweden came back from very few chips to double twice, once with the {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} versus {5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

Glaser Eliminated; Sweden Left Short

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ramon Miquel Munoz
Ramon Miquel Munoz

Craig Sweden was left with a mere five big blinds and confirmed that he had lost a massive pot, in which he three-bet from 18,000 to 70,000 and jammed the flop against Ramon Miquel Munoz. The Spaniard snapped with pocket jacks for a set to crack the kings of Sweden and that left the Brit in trouble.

Benny Glaser had been left with 4,000 and sixtupled, then he ended up all inn with the {9-Hearts}{7-Spades} against the {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of Manuel Bardon. The board ran out {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Spades} and that was it for Glaser.

Mizrachi No More

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

At the end of the previous level, Michael Mizrachi vanished and Paul Hizer was kind enough to explain what had happened. According to Hizer, Mizrachi had raised and was called by Tomas Karlo. On the {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, Mizrachi bet 17,000, Karlo raised to 34,000 and Mizrachi shoved for another 55,000, 72,000 in total.

Karlo called and was ahead with {K-Hearts}{J-} against the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, the turn and river were blanks.

Benny Glaser was left very short and doubled through Derek Lawless with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} versus {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} thanks to a board of {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

David Peters called a bet by Fernando Pons on the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs} turn and checked behind the {A-Spades} river. Pons revealed the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} as winning hand and joined the chip millionaires.
