Epsholm Busts to Thorel

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

On the three-way flop of {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Seamus Cahill bet 20,000 and Jean-Noel Thorel called. Johan Espholm moved all in for 28,500 and both opponents called. The {6-Clubs} fell on turn and Cahill checked over to Thorel, who bet 100,000. Cahill folded and they tabled the cards.

Johan Espholm: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Jean-Noel Thorel: {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The {4-Diamonds} on the river gave Thorel two pair and Epsholm was eliminated. All remaining 24 players will now redraw to the last three tables.

Petersen Gives it to Katz; Takes Out Helppi

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
Juha Helppi
Juha Helppi

A big pot was brewing over on table one and Cary Katz had almost all of his chips already in the middle against Alexander Petersen. They checked the {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{2-Clubs} river and Katz showed {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} for top two pair, Petersen mucked a missed draw.

Soon after, Petersen got involved into the action again and faced Juha Helppi, who had three-bet preflop and then jammed the {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop for 25,500. Petersen quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Juha Helppi: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Alexander Petersen: {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

"You thought this flop was much better for you," Petersen remarked and Helppi nodded. The {Q-Diamonds} turn was a blank, but Petersen got there with the {Q-Clubs} river for the nut flush to eliminate Helppi.

Chidiac Eliminated by Cahill

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
Dany Chidiac
Dany Chidiac

Dany Chidiac and Seamus Cahill invested 11,000 each to see a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Chidiac moved all in for his last 24,000, Cahill quickly called.

Dany Chidiac: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Seamus Cahill: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Chidiac had an open-ended straight draw but some of outs were covered by the flush draw of Cahill. The {9-Clubs} turn and {7-Clubs} river failed to improve Chidiac and Cahill won the pot with trips sevens, the Irishman jumped above half a million in chips.

Shak and Tsang Chip Up

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 0 ante

Dan Shak limped in and Samuli Sipila raised to 11,000 in the cutoff. Alexander Petersen called on the button, as did Ronald Keijzer in the small blind and Cary Katz in the big blind. Shak also came along for the ride and the flop fell {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Action checked to Shak, who bet the pot for 55,000. All opponents folded and Shak flashed {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for top set with the words "I don't want to see any more cards."

Norbert Szecsi raised to 6,000 from under the gun and Anson Tsang called from two seats over, Alex Lindop filled up out of the big blind. The flop brought {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} and a bet of 20,000 by Tsang won the pot uncontested.

Chidwick and Jouhkimainen No More

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

In a battle big blind versus under the gun, Joni Jouhkimainen checked over to Felix Stephensen with the flop showing {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Stephensen bet 3,500 and Jouhkimainen check-raised for the size of the pot, then called the shove of Stephensen.

Joni Jouhkimainen: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Felix Stephensen: {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

The {J-Diamonds} turn and {K-Hearts} river failed to improve Jouhkimainen and he joined the rail, minutes after Stephen Chidwick had been eliminated.
