Thomas Doubles

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The incredible has happened, as Daniel Neilson actually lost a race and let Alexandre Thomas double up for 117,000. It was the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for Neilson and the {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} for Thomas, who ended up scooping the pot after the board ran out {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Koutsouvelis Doubles Through King

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Stephen Koutsouvelis raised and then fired one barrel on the flop {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{A-Hearts}. Navid King had called the first continuation bet and then check-raised all in after the {K-Clubs} turn. Koutsouvelis called with the {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for his last 71,000 and King flipped over {3-Spades}{4-Spades} for the straight draw.

The {Q-Diamonds} river blanked and that secured the double up for Koutsouvelis.

Neilson Activates God Mode

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel Nielson
Daniel Nielson

Daniel Neilson has eliminated Qiang Fu and Christos Vlahos in a row.

First the Aussie four-bet jammed for 260,000 effectively with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} into the pocket kings of Fu. The board came {5-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and Neilson won the big pot with two pair.

Then, Vlahos was at risk for 130,000 with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and Neilson looked him up with the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Vlahos was drawing dead on the turn but was given a worthless straight on the river to make the bustout even worse. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

Giesbrecht Spikes Two out of Three

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Sean Giesbrecht opened to 8,000 and Kenneth Khoo three-bet before Christopher Coghlan got his short stack of 30,000 into the middle out of the big blind. Giesbrecht moved all in about 10 seconds later and Khoo snap-called with the biggest stack.

Coghlan: {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Khoo: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Giesbrecht: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The flop {6-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} immediately improved Giesbrecht and he pumped a fist. On the {8-Spades} turn, Khoo had one out remaining and it wasn't meant to be with the {A-Diamonds} coming on the river. Coghlan was eliminated and Khoo had 50,000 chips left, but walked up to the payout desk a few minutes later.

At the same table is still Gerald Karlic, who staged a comeback from just 24,000 chips.

Malecha's Move Gone Wrong

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Michael Seymour
Michael Seymour

In the last hand before the break, in fact it lasted five minutes into it, a huge pot played out between Mark Malecha and Michael Seymour. Seymour had raised to 12,000 and Malecha three-bet pretty big to 48,000 in the small blind. Seymour just flat-called and they headed to the flop {K-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Malecha checked, Seymour bet 48,000 and then faced a check-raise to 150,000. Seymour moved all in for slightly more and Malecha had the dealer count it before paying off the additional 38,000 chips with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Seymour flipped over {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and faded the runner runner miracle with the {Q-Hearts} turn and {4-Diamonds} river as final two community cards.
