Tuna Busts Akkari

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

The cards were already rushed away and Andre Akkari left his chair. According to Jason Mercier, it was Akin Tuna who scored the knockout when flopping a flush with {10-Spades}{8-Spades} on {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}. After a blank {8-} turn, they got the stacks in and Akkari's top set failed to improve.

Steve O'Dwyer changed tables and is also on the verge of requiring a second bullet with just over 20 big blinds.

Zaffran Doesn't Like Calling

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

Sergey Lebedev opened to 700 from the button and Chance Kornuth called in the small blind before Jean Paul Zaffran three-bet to what looked like 2,300. Only Kornuth called with a "you don't like calling?" on his lips and they headed to the flop {Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Kornuth check-called a continuation bet worth 3,025 and then gave up the {K-Diamonds} turn to a second barrel.

Soulier Loses Some More

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante
Fabrice Soulier
Fabrice Soulier

Just before the break Fabrice Soulier lost {8-}{8-} vs the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} of Jeff Rossiter, and things still aren't going his way.

On a {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board Marc MacDonnell check-raised Soulier's bet of 5,000 to 12,200 and Soulier called. The river was the {9-Spades} and MacDonnell bet 13,800, which was swiftly called by Soulier. The Irishman showed {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a rivered full-house and Soulier stared at his hole cards before mucking them.

Loosli Comes and Goes

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

In a three-bet pot to the flop {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Alexander Ivarsson bet 2,700 out of the small blind and Shyam Srinivasan called while Sylvain Loosli sat down after just having registered. Both then checked the {9-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river and Ivarsson showed the winning hand in what looked like {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} while Loosli was then asked to pack his belongings and move to a new table that just opened up.
