Players are taking a quick break. When they return they will finish out the final hour of Level 10.

Kuo Doubles

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We just caught the end of the action as Kitty Kuo doubled up.

Her opponent's {a-}{10-} was in the muck as the board showed {10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Kuo's {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} held.

Kuo however is still short on chips.

Colman Moves Table

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

As reported earlier Daniel Colman’s table has broken. He now has a short stacked Ivan Soshnikov to his left, then Mike McDonald. Also at the table is Billy "The Croc" Argyros.

McDonald is telling the table about his tax situation as a Canadian player, which is similar to Argyros’s in Australia where losses are tax deductible and it is therefore possible to play some tournaments as a kind of “Free roll.”

Bilyuchenko Busts One

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

An early positioned player opened to 2,000 and Celina Lin flatted from the cutoff. Alexey Bilyuchenko three-bet the action to 6,700 from the button and it folded back to the original opener. He mulled over his decision for quite some time before plopping 8,000 total in the middle for his tournament life. Lin folded and the hands were turned over.

Bilyuchenko: {K-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, eliminating Bilyuchenko's opponent from play. Bilyuchenko pulled the pot and now has about 64,000 to his name.

Peng Falls To Colman

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Cheng Peng moved the last of his 8,400 chips across the line and after getting a count Daniel Colman made the call. The blinds folded and Colman tabled {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Peng let out a groan which was explained when he turned over his {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Peng called for an ace but it proved elusive on the final board of {4-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. He was out and Colman won the pot.

Kuo Low

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kitty Kuo faced off against Tobias Reinkemeier in a pot where they had got to the turn of a board reading {7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. A bet of 5,000 from Kuo was met by a raise from Reinkemeier that would cost Kuo the rest of her chips.

Kuo tried to get a read from Reinkemeier and pointed at the turn card. A smile broke out on Reinkemeier’s face and after a short time Kuo released her cards to drop down again.

Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

We arrived at the table in time to see all of the money go in before the flop with Sorel Mizzi at risk for his tournament life against Sam Cohen. Mizzi was all in for what looked to be 94,300 and he was in a dominating position.

Mizzi: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Cohen: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board came down {6-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, giving Mizzi a winning set of aces. He scooped the massive pot and now has about 190,000 to his name. Cohen, on the other hand, has dropped to about 88,000.
