Aido Shoves and Adams Times Out

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sergio Aido
Sergio Aido

Sergio Aido raised to 13,000 from the hijack and Timothy Adams three-bet to 40,000 in the cutoff. Aido made the call after the rest of the table folded, and the flop came down {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, and Aido check-called a 30,000 bet from Adams.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds}, and both players checked to see the {k-Hearts} river. Adio checked once more, and Adams bet 100,000. Aido used nearly all of his 30 seconds before he announced all in for around 300,000.

Adams only had one time bank card left and had to use it as he thought through his decision. Adams was unable to make a decision and ultimately saw his one minute come to an end and his hand was declared dead.

Aido picked up the pot uncontested and got the overall chip lead with 595,000.

Kaverman Doubles Once More

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sam Greenwood raised on the button and Byron Kaverman moved all in for 113,000 from one seat over, which Greenwood called with the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Kaverman had two overcards in {J-Spades}{8-Spades} and the board of {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{A-Spades} improved him to aces and jacks.

Jan-Eric Schwippert called a raise to 12,000 by Seth Davies and Bryn Kenney in the small blind three-bet to 41,000. Davies moved all in for more than 170,000 and forced folds all around.

Perkins Eliminated by Fast

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Bill Perkins moved all in for 61,000 in early position and Dietrich Fast on the button moved all in over the top for 140,000.

"That's not good for me," Perkins said in table chat before the cards were turned over.

Bill Perkins: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Dietrich Fast: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board came {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and Perkins found no help. Shortly after, Nick Petrangelo was eliminated by Dean Nolan over on table two and that reduced the field to the last 30.

Thorel Shoves on Salter

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The flop was down {2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Jean-Noel Thorel had checked from under the gun to Jack Salter in the next seat who bet 20,000. Mustapha Kanit was the third player in the pot and folded from the cutoff. With the action back on Thorel, he moved all in for around 200,000 and got a fairly quick fold from Salter.

Kisacikoglu Eliminated by Eibinger

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

Matthias Eibinger raised to 17,000 and Dean Nolan called on the button, as did Orpen Kisacikoglu in the big blind. The flop came {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and the trio checked to see the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. Kisacikoglu bet 30,000 and both opponents called.

After the {A-Hearts} river, Kisacikoglu checked and Eibinger bet what appeared to be 73,000. Nolan quickly folded, however, Kisacikoglu check-raised all in.

"I will need a count," Eibinger sighed and the jam of Kisacikoglu was for 239,000 in total. Eibinger made the call and was shown the {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} by Kisacikoglu, which the Austrian had beat with {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for top two pair.

Katz Makes Fast Fold

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The completed board was down {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and there was around 45,000 in the pot. Dietrich Fast was in the big blind and bet 48,000. Cary Katz was his opponent and decided to move all in for around 135,000 from early position.

"How much?" asked Fast, before the dealer confirmed Katz's stack amount.

"That's a good question," said Katz, "You didn't snap-call" he added.

Fast thought for a minute using a time bank card before he asked if Katz would show his hand if he folded. Katz didn't replay at first.

"Maybe one card" Katz then responded.

Ultimately Fast opted to fold and declared he held two pair, but Katz mucked his hand without showing before he picked up the pot.
