Loads of Busts

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Players are busting out at a fast pace and they're down to the last four tables in the main tournament room. All players remaining in the tournament will play in the Americas room when there are 127 players left. The tournament clock shows that there are 153 players remaining right now.

Jacukevicius Makes Shehade Fold

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player from middle position opened the action with a limp, but Luigi Shehade upped the bet to 8,500 from late position. Big blind Darius Jacukevicius called the bet and so did the player from middle position.

It checked around to Shehade on the {3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop and he continued his aggression with a bet of 9,200. Jacukevicius called, but the player from middle position got out of the way.

They were heads-up when the {4-Clubs} turn was dealt and both players checked their option.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Jacukevicius took down the pot after he bet 12,000 and Shehade folded.

Their table broke after the hand and all players on the table were moved to the Americas room.

Ramon Colillas

Ramon Colillas got about one-third of his chips in the middle with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and he was up against the {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} of Vasilijus Piskunovas.

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and nothing funky happened so both players got their chips back plus a little bit extra.

Karmatckii Eliminates Weng

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Arsenii Karmatckii was quite short, but Xiaokai Weng was even shorter. Both got their money in the middle and Weng had the better hand with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Karmatckii held {a-Spades}{5-Spades} and needed to come from behind.

The flop was {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Weng was still safe, but the turn was the {a-Hearts}. No jack on the {7-Clubs} river and Weng was eliminated in level 13 of the tournament.
