Khoroshenin Drops Some More
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
After doubling Allan Sannier, Oleksii Khoroshenin hasn't been able to stop the bleeding yet. He just lost two small pots in a row.
In the first hand, it was Philipp Gruissem who opened with a raise to 12,000. Khoroshenin called from the button and Sannier and Adrian Mateos folded their blinds.
Both players checked the 
flop. The 
came on the turn and Gruissem bet 22,000. Khoroshenin took his time before calling. The river brought the 
and Gruissem fired again, now for 45,000.
Khoroshenin tanked for several minutes but eventually let it go.
In the next hand, it was Max Silver to raise it up to 12,000. To his left Khoroshenin popped it up to 27,000, only to see Allan Sannier cold four-bet him from the button to 63,000.
Silver quickly let go of his hand. Khoroshenin needed some time but in the end he did the same thing.

Almost Hand for Hand
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
While table one plays significantly faster, some hands over on table two take by far longer. Tournament staff has been monitoring the situation closely, and from time to time tell the dealer on table one to freeze the action and wait until the hand on the other table is over.
One such hand saw Ole Schemion open to 12,000 and Patrick Leonard call in the big blind. On the 
flop, both checked. The 
appeared on the turn, Leonard checked and folded to the 14,500 bet of Schemion. The German raked in the pot and then walked over to see what was going on at the other table.

Yan Takes from Leonard
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
[Removed:17] raised to 10,000 from under the gun and Patrick Leonard defended his big blind. Both players checked the 
flop. On the turn, Leonard checked, Yan bet 20,000 and Leonard called. The 
fell on the river and Leonard checked again.
Yan now bet 44,000 and that sent Leonard into the think tank. Half to himself and to his opponent, he spoke through possible hands that Yan could have. Ultimately, the Brit could not find a fold and was then shown 
for a straight by Yan. The New Zealander, who plays online under the moniker "MissOracle", moved up to more than half a million in chips.
