Watson Loses Flip to Schemion
Level 13
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Ole Schemion min-raised from early position and then quickly called the shove of Mike Watson for what looked like just under 300,000 chips.
Watson was the player at risk with 
and had a coin flip against the 
of Schemion. The 
flop was no good for Watson and he lost a few outs when the 
appeared on the turn. A blank 
river completed the board and the tournament for the Canadian.

Silver Gets Shorter
Level 13
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
The action was folded to Ali Reza Fatehi and he raised to 40,000 from the small blind. Max Silver asked the dealer again for the amount and then called from one seat over. The flop fell 
and Fatehi continued for 56,000 to enforce a fold from Silver.
The Brit is now below 20 big blinds, that may be no danger yet but limits his options going forward.

Level 13
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Picking up the action on the 
turn, Christoph Vogelsang checked in the big blind and Dan Smith fired a bet worth 115,000. Vogelsang made the call and then checked again the 
on the river. Smith bet 307,000 for almost all of his remaining chips and that sent the German in the think tank.
A few minutes passed and Smith asked for time, but Vogelsang then called quickly after to see Smith grin and say "okay, no time," before sheepishly turning over his . Vogelsang claimed the big pot with and nodded when Smith asked him if he had been close to folding.
The very next hand, Smith shoved for his last 58,000 and John Juanda min-raised from two seats over to get everyone else out of the way.
Smith: 
Juanda: 
The flop gave Smith some hope with the flush draw and the turn brought a gutshot on top. Smith tossed his eight to the dealer for even more karma, but the blank river sent him to the rail instead.
