Watson Busts Luca
Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
As we arrived we saw Ivan Luca left with just a single 100-chip, while Mike Watson was stacking newfound wealth.
Watson had raised the cutoff and Luca had three-bet the button. Watson called, and check called all three streets on 
with 
for flopped trips. Luca had 
and was left with a quarter an ante.
The next hand he was all in blind. He flopped an open ended with his 
but eventually lost even his last chip to Watson's 
after the board blanked out.

Kornuth Back in Action
Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
"Hey Chance, did you get moved here?" was the question and a rather dry "Yeah, kind of, for a tiny fee," came as reply from Chance Kornuth after he sat down for his second bullet. The American was still smiling though and will try to run up a stack on his second attempt.

Gieles Busts in Three-Way All In
Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Mohin Charania opened to 6,500 and Jason Wheeler three-bet to 16,000 before Luuk Gieles announced all in. Charania called it off for his last 67,000 and Wheeler gave it some thought before making the call, thinking he would have a flip against Charania and at least break even this way.
Charania:
Gieles: 
Wheeler: 
While Wheeler had the best of it before the flop, Charania's hopes of a comeback found help with the flop. Both the 
turn and the river blanked and Gieles' stack was counted to confirm that he was covered by Wheeler for a few chips only, Charania tripled up.
