The pots don't grow too big with just nine players remaining and seven getting into the money. Most pots don't get past the flop right now.

Phil Laak Eliminated

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Phil Laak
Phil Laak

Phil Laak got his last 49,500 chips in before the flop with {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Dzmitry Urbanovich was the one looking him up with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, giving Laak a flush draw. That never came to be, though, as the {5-Diamonds} on the turn and {2-Hearts} on the river were blanks.

Laak exited in the last hand before the break.

Solaas Busts Laidlaw

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

We caught the action on a flop of {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} in a three-way pot between Andy Lee, Daniel Laidlaw (button) and Espen Solaas (small blind).

First to act, the player in middle position had led out for a pot-sized bet of 7,000 with Laidlaw making the call. Solaas nearly timed out but decided to re-pot for 39,300 with just seconds to spare on the shot clock.

The middle position player re-potted all-in for 62,500, Laidlaw called off his remaining 35,000 and Solaas called all in for 62,200.

The player in middle position had flopped gin with {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} with Laidlaw on the club flush draw holding {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Hearts} while Solaas held the dominated {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for middle set and an eight-high club draw.

In a cruel twist of fate, it was Solaas with the worst hand who improved to the best after hitting the runner, runner straight when the {4-Hearts} came down on the turn and the {7-Hearts} hit the river. Laidlaw headed for the exit and Lee was left crippled with just 300 left and busted shortly afterward.

Ramakrishnan Busts Wang

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Thomas Levine opened the action with a raise to 4,000 from the button and David Wang re-potted to 13,600 from the small blind before Raj Ramakrishnan re-potted from the big blind, making it 44,800 to go. Levine bowed out and Wang called off the rest of his stack.

David Wang: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Raj Ramakrishnan: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Wang's Kings were in front and stayed that way on the {2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop and stayed that way on the {10-Spades} turn but the {q-Spades} river saw Ramakrishnan hit trip queens to send Wang to the rail.

Solaas Busts Greenwood

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante
Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

Espen Solaas opened to 4,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Sam Greenwood in the small blind who re-raised pot to 12,800, leaving himself around 15,000 behind.

Solaas made the call and Greenwood moved all in on the {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop. Solaas called to put Greenwood at risk and the cards were turned over.

Sam Greenwood: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Espen Solaas: {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Greenwood's aces were trailing to Solaas's flopped top two pairs and the turn and river ran out {q-Spades}, {4-Diamonds} respectively to send Greenwood to the exit and pad out Solaas's stack.
