Level 17 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Hossein Ensan
Hossein Ensan

Arriving on the 2K106 flop, Andras Nemeth checked from the small blind to Hossein Ensan on the button, who added 100,000 to the pot of 300,000.

Nemeth called to the 6 river, where he checked again. Ensan fired a tiny bet of 110,000, which Nemeth called after spending one time bank.

Ensan tabled AK88 for the nut flush, and Nemeth mucked his cards in defeat.

Harry Casagrande
Harry Casagrande

Andre Plaza Marcano was down to just 155,000, which he pushed in from the big blind. Harry Casagrande looked him up in the hijack, and the players showed down when the other tables finished their hands.

Andre Plaza Marcano: AJJ9 All in
Harry Casagrande: KQQ3

Casagrande improved to a pair of kings on the 10K9 flop. The 2 turn helped neither player, and the 3 river secured the pot for Casagrande, his two pair eliminating Plaza from the PLO Grand Slam Championship.

Fenyvesi Falls to Van den Belt; Weiss Waved Off

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Csaba Fenyvesi raised the pot in the hijack. Lucas van den Belt pushed all in from the big blind, and Fenyvesi immediately called off his 155,000 remaining chips.

Csaba Fenyvesi: J1086 All in
Lucas van den Belt: AA92

Fenyvesi found two pair on the 71036 turn, but the 7 river counterfeited them. Van den Belt's aces won the pot and sent Fenyvesi out a few spots before the money.

Over at another table, Dennis Weiss lost his last few blinds as well, leaving 25 players in contention.

Vihikainen Doubles as Pace Slows Down

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Aki Vihikainen
Aki Vihikainen

While every hand is taking more time, seeing as the field is four away from the money, "Sonic" raised to 65,000 under the gun, calling Aki Vihikainen's three-bet to 230,000.

"Sonic" then led out on the 493 flop, and Vihikainen quickly called off for his 445,000 chips.

Aki Vihikainen: AA106 All in
"Sonic": KJ109

Vihikainen's aces made two pair on the 3 turn, meaning the K river was not enough to help "Sonic" win the pot.
