Segebrecht Puts Pressure on Spano

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Claas Segebrecht raised to 7,000 on the button and Robert Spano three-bet out of the big blind, making it 17,500 to go. Segebrecht called and faced a continuation bet worth 15,000 by Spano as soon as the flop came {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, the German called. There was no betting action on the {6-Diamonds} turn while Spano bet the {7-Clubs} river for 16,500.

Segebrecht raised it up to 150,000, covering the stack of Spano by far, and the latter sent his cards into the muck.

Huber Doubles Up

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Stefan Huber raised to 7,000 from early position. It folded to Sam Higgs in late position who eyed his opponent's stack and three-bet to 25,000. Huber had only 70,000 behind and called and the cards were turned over.

Sam Higgs: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Stefan Huber: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Huber doubled up.

Down to Four Tables as Colman Departs

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Julius Colman
Julius Colman

While the start of Julius Colman had been very strong and the Aussie shined atop the counts in the early levels, that has all but changed in the last few hours and his stack slowly but surely got reduced. Down to just 49,600, Colman was all in and at risk from the button with the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Kahle Burns looked him up with the {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} out of the big blind.

The flop of {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} brought no help yet for Burns, but the {10-Spades} turn did so and left Colman with the head shaking. A blank {8-Clubs} river ended his run and the field was reduced to 24 players. Action on Colman's former table was paused until the new players arrived to fill the two open seats.

Yan Eliminated by Kuo

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

The floor staff were counting out the stacks of both Kitty Kuo and [Removed:17] to see if the latter was left with any chips. His hand {a-}{j-} had already been mucked, with Kuo's {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for all to see on a {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} board.

Kuo's set was good, and it was established that Kuo covered her opponent. Yan shook her hand and was eliminated.

Segebrecht Rising

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

The stack of Claas Segebrecht has skyrocketed as of lately while Kahle Burns took the opposite direction. Both were just involved in yet another hand when calling a raise to 6,200 by Robert Spano, Segebrecht in the small blind and Burns in the big blind tossed in the extra chips.

The trip checked the {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, Segebrecht then bet the {2-Spades} turn for 12,500 and just Burns called. After the {7-Diamonds} river, the action went check, check, and Segebrecht sighed before rolling over {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a full house.

Claas Segebrecht raised to 6,000 from under the gun. Ben Heath three-bet to 19,000 on the button. Michael Gathy then four-bet to 47,000 from the small blind. Segebrecht folded and with the action back on Heath he five-bet all in for around 150,000. Gathy snap-called.

Michael Gathy: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Ben Heath: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Gathy moved into the chip lead with well over 400,000 in chips.
