We are playing one more full level after which the 75-minute dinner break will commence. Play will automatically stop when we hit 12 players so with a little luck the remaining players will have a short day today. Only four more bust outs till the day is done.
Daniel Idema is yet again sitting behind the largest stack in the room and we were felt side to catch all the action on the latest hand that saw the Canadian take down more chips.
Idema was in the cutoff seat when he opened the pot to 32,000. Minh Nguyen then three-bet to 94,000 out of the small blind and Idema made the call.
Flop: 
Nguyen led for 105,000 on the flop and it didn't take long for Idema to grab a large stack of 25,000-denomination chips and flail them into the pot. The dealer counted out the stack and it was 425,000, or more specifically, too much for Nguyen to make the call as he sent his cards into the muck

After starting the day as the chip leader Matt Turk couldn't really get anything going today. He lost a lot of chips but now he's slowly climbing back up. Yann Dion just raised to 30,000 under the gun and Turk three-bet to 79,000 from the cut-off.
The flop was 
and the action went check-check. On the turn the 
hit and Dion check-folded on the 76,000 bet Turk put out.

Daniel Idema opened the pot from the cutoff seat holding 
. When Minh Nguyen looked down at his 
in the small blind, he three-bet to 100,000. It was back on Idema and he threw in a four-bet to 200,000. Nguyen then shoved his stack in and it was around 300,000 more to Idema. After a few moments thought, Idema made the call.
A crowd of Nguyen's friends gathered around the table, but their cries of "fade" must not have been heard by the poker gods as the 
board was dealt. Nguyen goes home in 16th place, receiving A$60,000 for that effort, while Daniel Idema seemingly can not be stopped.

No big deal. In the last hand before Janis Lesinskis got moved to table 32, he decided to play a big pot. Lesinskis raised from the button and from the big blind Dion three-bet to 98,000. Lesinskis wasn't planning on playing a flop just yet as he four-bet to 230,000. Dion went into the tanked and quietly put out a five-bet to 394,000 total. Lesinskis couldn't keep a straight face for too long as he shortly sighed and folded.

With approximately 100,000 chips in the pot on the 
flop, Karim Jomeen checked and Phil Ivey bet 50,000. Jomeen called.
The turn brought the 
to the board and both players checked through to see the 
land on the river. Here, Jomeen bet 175,000. Ivey tanked for about a minute and a half and then called.
Jomeen tabled the 
and Ivey mucked his hand.
