Engel Eliminates Luong

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We found Anthony Luong shoving his last 90,000 or so in over a bet from Ari Engel on {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Engel snap-called since he had {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for the nuts. He was fading hearts since Luong turned over {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The turn brought the {8-Hearts} that Engel didn't want to see but an {8-Clubs} river sent the pot his way anyway.

Koren Eliminates Solomos

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Artur Koren opened to 14,000 and Nick Solomos was the only caller, meaning the two players went heads-up to a {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop. Koren checked to Solomos who bet 17,000. Koren check-raised to 60,000 and Solomos called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}. Koren continued for 115,000 and Solomos called.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Koren moved all in. Solomos tanked, apologising to his tablemates before eventually calling and the cards were turned over.

Nick Solomos: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} - two pair (tens & sixes)
Artur Koren: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} - quad sixes

Solomos' hero-call didn't pay off as he was met with the full force of Koren's quad sixes and he was eliminated.

Flopping Boats

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The former big stack of Frank Pezzaniti has vanished and he dropped below the average while Vincent Chua and Tu Lan took advantage to boost their stacks significantly.

Gurpreet Lubana moved all in for 93,000 and Stefan Huber called to bring the following showdown:

Gurpreet Lubana: {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Stefan Huber: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop gave Lubana a full house and he avoided the running aces drama with the {3-Diamonds} turn and {A-Clubs} river.

Espen Solaas raised to 12,000 and Ize Bourne shoved for 20,000 from one seat over, all opponents but Solaas folded.

Ize Bourne: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Espen Solaas: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Again the player at risk immediately flopped a full house on {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, but was given a sweat with the {3-Hearts} turn. The one outer didn't come, instead it was the {J-Clubs} river that completed the board.

Chen An Lin Cracks Aces to Double

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Chen An Lin raised to 13,000 and his opponent three-bet to 36,000. Lin then four-bet all in for 170,000 and his opponent called.

Chen An Lin: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Lin was at risk and picked up some help on the {k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop, but his opponent was still in front. Luckily for Lin, the turn was the {k-Clubs} giving him trips, and his opponent was already sending his cards towards the muck when the {10-Spades} rolled off on the river.
