Foxen Takes From Vieira

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop Alex Foxen checked from the blinds, and called a continuation bet from Joao Vieira. The two checked the {8-Hearts} turn and Foxen checked the {a-Spades} river to his opponent.

Vieira bet 16,500 and Foxen check-raised to 71,500 leaving just 500 chips behind.

Vieira thought before calling, but mucked when Foxen showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the nut straight.

Yong Busts to Seidel

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Erik Seidel was all in with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} against the {a-Spades}{3-Spades} of Richard Yong.

The flop was a good one for Yong, giving him a pair and a flush draw on {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} but the river {q-Hearts} improved Seidel to a full house.

"Too many outs!" said Yong, who headed to re-enter.

Leow and Schemion Eliminated

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A three-way all in between Ivan Leow, Benjamin Pollak and Christoph Vogelsang at Table 3 saw Vogelsang poised to add even more chips to his stack.

Ivan Leow: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Benjamin Pollak: {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Christoph Vogelsang: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The flop came {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The turn was the {q-Diamonds} and Pollak called for the ace on the river, which he duly got when the {a-Diamonds} turned up.

A short while later, Ole Schemion was eliminated from the same table.

Nitsche Eliminated by Watson

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mike Watson opened to 10,000 and Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 30,000 from the big blind.

Watson then four-bet all in for just over 200,000 and Nitsche called for his last 187,000.

Mike Watson: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Dominik Nitsche: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The queen on the flop of {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} gave Watson the lead, and the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} runout didn't change things as Nitsche was eliminated.
