Vezhenkov Takes From Yakuba

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Anton Yakuba opened to 8,000 and Artem Vezhenkov three-bet to 23,000. Yakuba upped it again, four-betting to 58,000 and Vezhenkov called in position.

The flop was {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Yakuba continued for 33,000, which Vezhenkov called. The turn was the {q-Spades} and both players checked, taking them to the {j-Spades} river. Yakuba checked again and Vezhenkov put 65,000 over the line. It was enough to convince Yakuba to fold and he drops down in the counts, whilst Vezhenkov has chipped up nicely.

Break

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

After two hours of play, it is time for players to take a 15-minute recess.

Colillas Remaining Steady

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

There has been little change in the counts for Team PokerStars Pro Ramon Colillas. Just now he took a decent pot after flatting an early position raise preflop and with a late position call and a big blind defend, there were four in total who went to the {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop.

The initial raiser didn't continue and a bet from Colillas was enough to garner folds all round. He is down a few big blinds from where he began the day as players get ready to go on their first break of the day.

Karmatskiy Takes From Chen

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

Arseniy Karmatskiy opened 6,000 under the gun and everyone folded until it came to Pete Chen on the big blind. He upped it to 21,000 and Karmatskiy called to see a flop.

It fell {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Chen continued for another 21,000 and Karmatskiy came along. Chen slowed down on the {7-Clubs} turn and Karmatskiy bet 31,000, which was enough to get Chen to pass.

Iskandarov won the hand on the {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs} board and Kalinin is the latest player to hit the rail.
