Duthie Wins from Duhamel

Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel bet 8,500 into John Duthie on the {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop. Duthie called, and the turn brought the {5-Clubs}. Duhamel slowed down with a check, and Duthie bet 12,500. Duhamel called.

The river completed the board with the {4-Spades}, and Duhamel checked for the second street in a row. Duthie bet 35,500, and Duhamel gave it up this time.

Spindler Busts Watson

The action on the hand was missed, but with a final board of {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} in the middle, Benny Spindler's {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} beat Mike Watson's {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. Spindler had Watson covered and eliminated Watson from the tournament.

Metaal Makes a Play with Eight High

From middle position, John Duthie raised to 4,500. Govert Metaal made the call from the button, then action folded to Igor Kurganov in the big blind. Kurganov reraised and made it 15,700 to go. Duthie folded, but Metaal called to take a flop in position.

The dealer placed the {4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} in the middle on the flop, and Kurganov bet 13,600. Metaal put in a raise to 33,000, and Kurganov gave it up. Metaal quickly showed the {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for eight high with a smile.

Andrulis Flops a Full House to Eliminate Ruscalla

As Bryn Kenney was busting at one table, Pier Paulo Ruscalla was doing it at another. We didn't catch the preflop action, but we do know Ruscalla was all in with {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} against the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} of Kristijonas Andrulis. The {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-} flop gave Andrulis a full house, and blanks on the turn and river sent Ruscalla out the door.

"Kings, Kings, and Aces"

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

The preflop action escaped us, but we do know Bryn Kenney ended up all in for around 30,000 and was dominated by John Duthie.

Showdown
Kenney: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Duthie: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

"I should have went in the other hand," Kenney said of the hand before, "At least then I'd have stood a chance." Indeed, Kenney's chances were slim, and he watched them evaporate as the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

"I've had kings, kings, and aces the last three hands," Duthie said with a big smile. If that's the case, he is most definitely on a heater.

Tens No Good for Jouhkimainen

Joni Jouhkimainen
Joni Jouhkimainen

A short-stacked Joni Jouhkimainen got his last 30,000 or so all in preflop and was at risk against Joseph Cheong.

Showdown
Jouhkimainen: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Cheong: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}

It was a flip, but Jouhkimainen saw his slim lead slip when the flop fell {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Cheong had hit a jack to take a firm lead, and that improved to trips on the {J-Diamonds} turn. As if things couldn't get better, the {K-Clubs} on the river gave Cheong a full house, one he really didn't need. Jouhkimainen collected his things and made a quick exit from the tournament floor.

Big Stacks at the Break

Andrulis Takes One Off O'Brien

From the hijack seat, Dan O'Brien min-raised to 3,200. Kristijonas Andrulis called from the cutoff seat, and Carlo Savinelli called out of the big blind.

On the {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop, Savinelli checked, and O'Brien bet 5,800. Andrulis called, then Savinelli folded.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds}, and O'Brien checked. Andrulis bet what looked to be 11,200, and O'Brien quickly folded.
