Hoi Cheung Out in 17th

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

In two hands Hoi Cheung just busted which brings us down to 16 players. First he ended up all in on a {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop with {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} versus Jason Pritchard's {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The turn brought the {10-Spades} and the river the {J-Clubs} giving Pritchard a double up to 65,000.

Moments later Cheung was all in with {A-}{2-} for just 14,000 versus Chris Lee who showed {Q-}{Q-}. No help on the board for Cheung who was knocked out.

Esfandiari Doesn't Hold Back

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Right after doubling up Niklas Heinecker in the biggest pot of the day Antonio Esfandiari was moved to Brendon Rubie's table. The latter just doubled up the former chip leader who's back up over six figures.

Jason Pritchard raised to 4,000 after which Esfandiari made it 10,500 to go. Rubie four-bet to 21,000 and Pritchard folded his cards. Esfandiari moved all in for 51,500 and Rubie snap-called.

Rubie: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Esfandiari: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Esfandiari doubled up.

Monster Pot For Heinecker; Esfandiari Back To Earth

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Antonio Esfandiari had been leading since the very first hand of play but his big stack was just shattered by Niklas Heinecker. Heinecker started of the action with a raise to 4,000 and Esfandiari three-bet to 10,500. Heinecker put in a four-bet to 22,500 and Esfandiari made the call.

The flop brought out {8-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and Heinecker, who was first to act, shoved all in for a staggering 88,200 chips. This big overshove caught Esfandiari of guard and he went into the tank for several minutes.

"Shall I hero call?" Esfandiari asked himself, or the table, as he thought about it some more. Esfandiari expressed that it was okay for any player to call the clock on him, but everyone remained silent. The One Drop winner tried to get a response out of Heinecker who sat motionless throughout this whole show. Even waving his hand in front of Heinecker's face had no effect and finally Esfandiari kissed his chips goodbye as he put in the call.

Heinecker: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Esfandiari: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Hearts}, {J-Clubs} and Heinecker gave himself a huge double up. He's now the big chip leader while Esfandiari was knocked down to around 55,000 chips.

Neilson Cripples Teltscher

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The board read {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} when Daniel Neilson bet 12,000 and Mark Teltscher decided to make the call. On the river the {3-Diamonds} hit and Neilson fired out a hefty bet worth 27,500.

Teltscher seemed confused and not willing to let go of his hand. When he called Neilson turned over {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and Teltscher mucked with a look of astonishment on his face. He's down to just 11 big blinds while Neilson is cruising with one of the biggest stacks in the room.
