Jonathan Duhamel - 9th place

In the first hand of the day in the high roller Fady Kamar was first to act and passed. Next to act was Dmitry Yurasov who opened for 40,000. It folded to Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel in the small blind who raised to 105,000. The big blind folded and it was back on Yurasov, who looked back at his cards and then studied Duhamel across the table.

Yurasov pushed out two stacks of blue T5000 chips for a further raise to 195,000. Duhamel instantly moved all in and was called by Yurasov.

Duhamel turned over {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Yurasov tabled the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Duhamel was the first to fall. They are now on the official final table of eight.

Yurasov Continues to Roll

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Dmitry Yurasov has taken down a few small pots, and now he's taken a decent sized one from Vitaly Lunkin.

It happened when action folded to Yurasov in the small blind and he raised to 50,000, which Lunkin called. When the flop fell {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Yurasov bet 50,000, Lunkin called, and the {Q-Clubs} turned. Yurasov bet again, this time 130,000, but he couldn't shake his countryman.

Yurasov finally slowed down with a check on the {5-Diamonds} river, and Lunkin checked behind. Yurasov tabled the {a-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a rivered pair of fives, and it was good as Lunkin flashed the {3-Clubs}{k-Spades}.
