Clarke Bluffs Off A Chunk

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On a {4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, James Clarke had check-raised a bet from Eddie Puia to 9,400 and received a call. The Brit kept up the aggression and bet 12,200 on the {A-Spades} turn and 19,000 on the {8-Spades} river.

Puia wasn't going anywhere and called all streets with {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Clarke had nothing more than {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and had to part with some of his stack.

Trips for Nguyen

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Bart Lybaert raised to 3,000 and faced a three-bet to Chi Thinh Nguyen from one seat over, which Martin Rowe in the hijack called. Lybaert made it three ways to the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop and the trio checked through to see the {5-Spades} on the turn. Lybaert bet 14,500 and both his opponents called.

On the {K-Hearts} river, it was checked around once more and Lybaert as last aggressor had to show his {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} first. Nguyen had that beat with the {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for trips eights and Rowe mucked.

Bujtas Picked Off, Busted

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Sam Grafton was roaring through what he called a spectacular call, one of the greatest he'd seen, and players at the table related the story. Apparently, Jim Pizanias had defended big blind against a button raise from Laszlo Bujtas and the players saw a {3-}{4-}{5-} flop. Pizanias check-called a bet and then checked the {7-} on the turn. Bujtas bet 7,000 and Pizanias made it 17,700. Bujtas called. The river was a {9-} and Pizanias checked. Bujtas bet 25,000.

Pizanias called with {q-}{5-} and was good against {a-}{8-}.

Left with about 8,000, Bujtas got it in a few hands later with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and ran into the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} of Mel Judah. The flop brought a king and Bujtas busted when he missed a backdoor flush draw.

Wilson Secures Miracle Double-Up

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Troy Wilson was all in with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} against the {q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} of an opponent. His opponent took the lead on the {3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop, and the {5-Spades} had Wilson calling for an Ace or a Four.

The river was the {4-Hearts}, giving him a straight and doubling his stack up.

Big Setback for Neilson

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Daniel Neilson
Daniel Neilson

Last but not least, Daniel Neilson suffered a massive setback after he faced an open raise by Dave Heskin, three-bet to 7,000 by Lee Armstrong in the hijack and four-bet from Yosuke Sekiya for 17,000 from the cutoff. Neilson moved all in from the button and that forced out the initial raiser and Armstrong. Sekiya however snap-called to put himself at risk for the last 68,600.

Yosuke Sekiya: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Daniel Neilson: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board of {J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} brought no upset and Sekiya doubled to leave Neilson short. "Unlucky Daniel," Tamara Volkoff in the one seat said.

Small Setback for Holz; Kuo Busts

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Kitty Kuo
Kitty Kuo

Kitty Kuo is no longer in the tournament and Najeem Ajez confirmed that it was him who had taken the remaining 80,000 off Kuo. According to Ajez, he raised the hijack to 2,900 and Kuo three-bet to 10,000 on the button. Ajez made it 27,000 to go and Kuo five-bet shoved with pocket nines into the pocket queens of Ajez.

In a battle of the blinds, Fedor Holz reluctantly called the shove of Tristan Bain from the small blind for 19,500.

Tristan Bain: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Fedor Holz: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Bain doubled.
