Break With 30 Left

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

One more hand was to be played before the players headed into the break and Diogo Cardoso lost his tiny stack of just 1,000. On the other table, Bryn Kenney and [Removed:17] battled once more and again Yan emerged victorious. He check-raised the river of a {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} board from 63,000 to 210,000 in order to enforce a fold from Kenney.

The players are now on a 20-minute break.

Packer and Vaskaboinikau Double

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Leslie Packer doubled and was then moved to another table where Dominik Nitsche jammed twice to claim the blinds and antes.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau moved all in for his last 55,000 with the {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Senh Ung called in the big blind with {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The board ran out {2-Spades}{K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and the Belorussian doubled.

Dobrovolskiy Strikes Back

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

[Removed:17] was abusing Vladimir Dobrovolskiy prior to the bubble breaking, but Dobrovolskiy just took some back.

Dobrovolskiy made it 23,000 under the gun and Yan bumped it to 54,000 from late position. Dobrovolskiy called and the flop fell {q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Both players checked and the {2-Hearts} turn came down.

This time, Dobrovolskiy led for 67,000 and Yan called. The river was the {a-Hearts} and it came with another bet from Dobrovolskiy for 92,000.

Yan immediately went deep into the tank. A full seven minutes later he emerged with a call that sounded more like a question than a statement. Dobrovolskiy showed {Q-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Yan mucked.

Then, just a few hands later, Dobrovolskiy made a queen-high straight against Yan to do even more damage.

Vaskaboinikau Doubles Again

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

David Peters raised to 22,000 and Przemyslaw Piotrowski called on the button before Mikalai Vaskaboinikau moved all in for 145,000 from the small blind. Peters reshoved and Piotrowski folded, later claiming in table chat he folded ace-jack.

Peters: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Vaskaboinikau: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The flip ran out in favor of the Belorussian on a board of {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and he went from almost zero five minutes ago to hero soon after.

Nick Petrangelo on the Rail

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

Nick Petrangelo moved all in for just under 10 big blinds from under the gun and Dominik Nitsche reshoved from one seat over to get everyone else out of the hand.

Petrangelo: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Nitsche: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The German more or less locked up the hand on the {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop and things were made official on the {A-Diamonds} turn, the {Q-Hearts} river even gave Nitsche quads to make the elimination more painful.

"Ace-queen to tens, I lose," Brian Yoon smiled and walked away from the table. The American had shoved out of the big blind for 200,000 chips and initial raiser Vladimir Dobrovolskiy called with pocket tens to win the flip.
