Level 10 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Lily Kiletto
Lily Kiletto

Among those to bust recently was Lily Kiletto, who lost the rest of her stack to Daniel Neilson while Danny Tang at the same table chipped up nicely since.

A short stacked player from China was all in for 7,700 first to act and Jack Salter in the small blind min-raised to 13,400. Anson Tsang in the big blind gave it plenty of consideration but folded and saw Salter ahead with {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} versus {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} in the showdown. The board came {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Salter's top pair dodged the back door flush draw to award the pot to the Brit.

Martin Kozlov followed suit soon after and sent his chips over to table neighbour Preben Stokkan to see the field reduced to the last 39 hopefuls.

Kramer in Trouble

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Despite winning a small pot with {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} against Michael Gathy and Mustapha Kanit, [Removed:172] would soon after suffer a big setback as Kanit doubled through the German. That left Kramer with around 27,000 and he just three-bet shoved into a raise to 5,000 by Julius Colman to claim the pot uncontested.

Dylan Wilkerson has since been eliminated on a different table and the screens show 41 players remaining.

Kanit Makes the River Call

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On a completed board of {7-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} Marius Gierse checked to Mustapha Kanit who bet 8,000. Gierse then check-raised to 30,000. Kanit only had about 45,000 behind but still called.

Gierse showed {q-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a pair of sevens, while Kanit showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for top pair, which elicited a knock on the table in appreciation from Gierse.
