Kitai Busts to Pihela

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The screens show less than 100 players remaining and among them was Davidi Kitai. Until a few minutes ago that is. The Belgian three-bet all in with {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} and initial raiser Igor Pihela called with {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} to see the board blank out.

Frey and Etcheverry Even in Chips

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Kyle Frey raised from the button and fired three barrels on the board {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. Juan Etcheverry was in the big blind and check-called the first two bets before facing the third for 107,000. The Argentinian folded and then said he had folded twos.

"You folded two pair?" Frey asked and Etcheverry replied "no, one pair twos."

Pecheux Picks Up The Pace

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Erwann Pecheux
Erwann Pecheux

Erwann Pecheux has moved up over the 800,000-chip mark now, after pushing Belgian killer Davidi Kitai off a pot.

Kitai checked the turn on a {k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} board with about 40,000 in the pot and Pecheux led for 28,000.

Kitai didn't let go easily, but he did let go and Pecheux slid up into an even higher spot on the leader board.

Selbst Busts Lepage

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We missed the exact action and only saw the tail end of a hand between Vanessa Selbst (small blind) and Mael Lepage (button). The two got it in on a board of {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Selbst was cruising with her {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} as Lepage's {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} was drawing dead. The {J-Spades} on the river was there just to make things official and Selbst collected another scalp.

Luneau Busts to Van Hoek

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Alexandre Luneau just found himself all in for his last chips, and he was up against Dutchman Erik van Hoek.

Luneau: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Van Hoek: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and the French high stakes regular was sent to the rail.

Guns Blazing

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Marcin Chmielewski had it up close to the one-million chip mark before one misstep knocked him off hios peak moments ago.

Gun Taljo got it in with the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} against his {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} on a {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, holding against the underpair and gutshot on a {j-Spades}{10-Spades} run out.

The double up nursed Taljo back to health, and really didn't hurt Chmielewski all that much, as he still sits among the leaders with 825,000.

Del Piero Scores a Knockout

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

David Susigan just found himself all in for 176,000 on the turn and he was up against Enzo Del Piero in the following showdown.

Susigan showed {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and he was in trouble against Del Piero's {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} on {2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The river brought the {2-Hearts}and Susigan was knocked out.

Coulier Busts in Three-Way All In

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The full betting action is unclear, but Arne Coulier, Usman Siddique and Stephan Zesiger got their stacks in with Siddique having both opponents covered.

Zesiger: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Coulier: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Siddique: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

"I take a nine," Coulier said, but instead the dealer spread the flop {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} instead. The {6-Diamonds} turn and {6-Spades} river both blanked and Zesiger tripled up for 62,000 while Coulier busted for another 80,000 on top to Siddique.

Come Back of the Century?

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Joao Vieira got up from the table and told us he had 33,000, while minutes ago he had just 2,000 left. Vieira told us he had pushed his last 67,000 in holding {A-}{10-} suited, and was looked up by Dermot Blain with {J-}{J-}. The {J-}{8-}{5-}{10-}{3-} board didn't help Vieira and the Portuguese high roller was left with less than a small blind. Some miraculeus double ups later and he's back to 33,000. That's still just 5.5 big blinds, but could be the beginning of the comeback of the century.

Selbst Busts Seidel

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

A 13,000 late position raise prompted Erik Seidel to push his last 54,000 in. Small blind Vanessa Selbst cold four bet to 105,000 which made the big blind and initial raiser both fold.

Vanessa Selbst: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Erik Seidel: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop was already bringing some heat on Seidel's pair of deuces, and the {9-Diamonds} on the turn brought Selbst even more outs. The {10-Diamonds} on the river was one of the cards she needed to hit to bust him, and Seidel got up from the table and made his way to the exit.
