Cates Knocks Out Quoss

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Fabian Quoss moved all in for 61,500 from first position. Action folded around to Daniel Cates who called. Quoss was the owner of {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} while Cates had {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The board ran out {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Quoss departed with just under half an hour of play left for the day.

Nitsche Sends Drinan to the Rail

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Connor Drinan just raised to 8,000 from the button and Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 24,000 from the small blind. Drinan made the call with about 45,000 chips behind, and the flop brought out {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Nitsche put Drinan all in on the flop, who made the call right away.

Nitsche: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Drinan: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs}, counterfeiting Drinan's two pair, and the river was the {8-Hearts}, sending him to the rail.

Kurganov Fishhooks Kozlov

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Martin Kozlov
Martin Kozlov

Igor Kurganov opened for 8,000 from the button and Martin Kozlov responded by three-betting all in for roughly 90,000 from the small blind. Kurganov wasted little time in making the call after the big blind got out of the way.

Kurganov: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Kozlov: {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

Kurganov's fishhooks were well out in front, and that's just where they stayed as the the board ran out {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} to send Kozlov to the rail.

Cates Doubles Lynskey

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Alexander Lynskey opened to 8,000 from first position on his 5-handed table. Daniel Cates three-bet to (what appeared to be) 29,000 from the small blind and Elliot Smith folded from the big blind. Lynskey pushed all in for 69,000 and Cates, after giving it some thoughts, made the call.

Alexander Lynskey: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Daniel Cates: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} gave Cates some additional outs. The {Q-Clubs} made Lynskey top set and left Cates drawing dead. The {A-Clubs} on the river gave Cates two pair but it wasn't good enough this time.

Giesbrecht Gone

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Sean Giesbrecht
Sean Giesbrecht

Sean Giesbrecht, who fired two bullets in this event, open-shipped under the gun for his last 24,000 and action folded to Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov, who called from the big blind.

Katchalov: {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Giesbrecht: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Giesbrecht was a heavy favorite, but disaster struck when the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop paired Katchalov's kicker. Neither the turn nor river helped Giesbrechet, and he headed for the exit here in the last level of the night.
