Sikora Busts in Three-Way Pot

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante

Ari Engel raised to 1,225 and Kelvin Kerber flat-called before the action reached jaroslaw Sikora. The Pole jammed for 12,500 out of the big blind and Engel reshoved with Kerber snap-calling for around 30,000 chips himself.

Sikora: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Kerber: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Engel: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The dealer told Kerber to push forward his stack while the Brazilian wasn't worried about losing. "I don't know, I have been running pretty good lately," Engel said and picked up a gutshot on the flop {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. However, the {K-Hearts} turn and {2-Clubs} river blanked to bust Sikora and let Kerber more than double.

"Boy, That Escalated Quickly!" - Loosli Loses 100bb Pot

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante

On a board of {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}, and with the pot only 5,150, Gustav Nordh overbet the pot for 7,500, before Sylvain Loosli moved all-in for 26,975. Nordh thought for a while before calling in what was a pot just over 100 big blinds!

Nordh: {4-Spades}{5-Spades}
Loosli: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Both had flush draws, but Nordh was ahead owing to his flopped pair. Loosli had outs, but the {6-Clubs} didn't help him, nor did the {5-Hearts} on the river and Loosli was eliminated

Charlie Carrel was all in for only 5,700 from the cutoff and Andre Akkari called out of the big blind with the {K-Spades}{J-Spades}. Carrel was at risk with the {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Akkari got there on a board of {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

Arrude Takes from Neuville

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante

Willliam Arruda, who cashed in the Main Event and finished 41st after busting early on Day 4, just played a pot against table neighbor Pierre Neuville. The Brazilian bet the {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Diamonds} turn for 7,000 and Neuville called on the button before the {6-Diamonds} fell on the river.

Now Arruda made it 12,000 to go and Neuville studied the board and his opponent before letting go.

Coulier Makes "a Dumb Call"

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

On the {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} river, Arne Coulier checked out of the small blind and Zvi Stern bet 2,500 from the cutoff. Coulier pondered about his decision, grabbed the chips for the call and then said to himself and the whole table "this might be a really dumb call." The Belgian then called and was shown the winning {K-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

Coulier shares the table with Joao Vieira, Pratyush Buddiga, Kevin Killeen and Daniel Dvoress as well.
