Dudani Ousted by Royal Flush

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Shiva Dudani
Shiva Dudani

The details of the hand escaped us, but we do know American pro Shiva Dudani was just eliminated by Linh Tran.

A raising war broke out between the two on the river with a board reading {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The chips got in, and Tran had Dudani covered by less than 2,000.

Dudani: {a-}{a-}
Tran: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Dudani had flopped top set and made a full house, but Tran held the grandaddy of all hands — a Royal Flush!

Dudani seemed a bit shellshocked before taking his leave from the tournament while the rest of the players at the table looked on in awe.

Kanit Reaping Rewards

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Earlier on, Mustapha Kanit made agreat call for his tournament life and since then he has reaped the rewards that this tournament has offered him. He just took down another big pot to see his stack rise to a mammoth 190,000.

He was battling heads up with Sean Giesbrecht and around 35,000 had made it into the middle by the time the board rested as {7-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Kanit bet 35,000 and Giesbrecht called with {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a rivered set. It wasn't good though as Kanit had turned top set with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.

The Italian has almost 30,000 more than Jan Suchanek finished with as the Day 1a chip leader and there's more than 3.5 hours left in the day still.

Molson and Fisher Clash on Action Flop

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

With around 4,000 in the pot and a flop of {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}, two checks saw Slade Fisher bet 1,625 from late position and one of the checkers call. Will Molson then sprung to life with a check-raise to 5,200, Fisher moved all in for 11,700, and the third player folded. Molson made a quick call and the cards were turned on their backs.

Fisher: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Molson: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Molson had flopped two pair, but he needed help as Fisher flopped the nuts. The {A-Clubs} turn put out some chop options for Molson, but the {7-Spades} ended up bricking on the river. Fisher scored the double while Molson sent nearly two-thirds of his stack across the table.

Daniel Rudd-erless

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Daniel Rudd
Daniel Rudd

Daniel Rudd won't be adding a Championship Bracelet to the Ring he won for taking down Event #2. He had his kings cracked and then busted to an opponent holding kings.

First up, he was in the big blind and called the button's all in with {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. The board ran {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} to leave him with 3,350.

Rudd waited until he was under the gun before he moved all in for 2,850 and was called by a player in the next seat and the big blind. The flop came {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts} and the big blind check-called 5,000 but folded to a shove on the {8-Spades} turn.

Rudd opened {j-Spades}{10-Spades} and was facing {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. The Brit had outs but the {j-Hearts} wasn't good enough to stop his demise.

Peter Chan
Peter Chan

We reported earlier that Peter Chan was out but he, and his micro stack, had actually been moved to a back table. Unfortunately for him, his exit is now confirmed.

He was all in or his last 4,925 and called by Timo Pfutzenreuter before the cards were flipped up.

Pfutzenreuter: {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Chan: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} to make both players straights, Chan's being the lower one.

Deadman Gets Some Back from Kastle

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Simon Deadman would've enjoyed his dinner a lot more than he might've due to the fact he doubled through Casey Kastle just before the break.

He was in the big blind and defended after a 1,300 button raise from Kastle. The flop came {9-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Deadman check-called a 1,600 c-bet. Kaste fired 4,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn and once more he was check-called. Deadman was left with 9,000 as the {6-Hearts} river completed the board. Kastle set him in and he made a good call all in with {a-Clubs}{9-Spades} beating a bluffing Kastle and his {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.
