Barer Left Short After Hallaert Doubles

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert was all-in and at risk with the {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and he had a flip against Ami Barer with the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

The {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop and {3-Clubs} turn failed to provide any help but Hallaert got there thanks to the {j-Hearts} on the river.

Soon after sending Nino Ullmann to the rail, Barer saw his stack cut into more than half and he dropped back into the danger zone.

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Michael Zhang
Michael Zhang

Masato Yokosawa is very close to becoming the first chips millionaire in the tournament after he just sent Michael Zhang to the rail.

Yokosawa had raised from under the gun and snap-called the shove of Zhang for 57,000.

Michael Zhang: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Masato Yokosawa: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

On a board of {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, the field was reduced to the final 23 hopefuls and the top 17 spots will get paid.

Duce Eliminated by Wu

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Joshua Duce
Joshua Duce

The cards were already on their backs and Joshua Duce was at risk for 84,500 and Yake Wu had more than three times as many chips.

Joshua Duce: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Yake Wu: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Duce was well ahead but fell behind on the {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop. The {a-Hearts} turn and the {7-Hearts} river failed to provide any help and Duce was eliminated in 25th place.

Rheem Pays Rafferty

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Chino Rheem checked from the small blind on {2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Tom Rafferty bet 67,000 from the button.

"Anything but a jack, that's what I was thinking to myself," Rheem mused.

After a couple of minutes, he called anyway. It wasn't a jack that beat him but {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a flopped set.

Jattin Binks the River Against Zhang

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Farid Jattin
Farid Jattin

Michael Zhang raised the button and picked up a call by Farid Jattin in the big blind. Jattin check-called a bet of 11,500 on the {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop and checked again the {7-Diamonds} on the turn. Zhang eyeballed his stack and then made it 40,000 to go, which prompted the shove of Jattin for 133,500. Zhang called within a few seconds and the cards were turned over.

Farid Jattin: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Michael Zhang: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Jattin had a flushdraw and gutshot, and he indeed got there on the {8-Diamonds} river to send Zhang back to a short stack.
