Play Slowing Down

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With players five eliminations away from making the money and bagging for the night, play has slowed considerably as no one wants to go home empty-handed following a full day of play.

Hrabec Cracks Gardner's Aces Near Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Roman Hrabec
Roman Hrabec

Roman Hrabec opened to 10,000 in the hijack and Anthony Gardner moved all in for 46,000 in the big blind. Hrabec thought about it and ultimately called.

Anthony Gardner: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Roman Hrabec: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Gardner was a good favorite for a double, but the {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop instantly put him behind by giving Hrabec a flush. The {3-Clubs} turn left Gardner needing a diamond to survive with a superior flush, but the {9-Hearts} river bricked out to send him to the rail short of a cash.

Morstol Finds More Chips

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Thor Morstol
Thor Morstol

Action folded to Aditya Systia, who made it 8,000 from the cutoff only to be met by a button reraise, to 25,000, from Thor Morstol. Systia decided that this was the time to take a stand and replied with a four-bet all in, for 194,000 total, covering Morstol.

Morstol snap-called and the players tabled their hands:

Thor Morstol: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Aditya Systia: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Morstol was at risk but was on the right side of this cooler and the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for a full double up, whilst Systia was left licking his wounds and around 4 big blinds to work with.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Arthur Conan
Arthur Conan

Ian Drake opened to 8,000 on the button and Arthur Conan defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned out the {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop and Conan check-called for 8,000.

The duo checked the {10-Spades} turn to the {8-Clubs} river and Conan moved forward a large stack of chips to cover Drake's approximately 70,000 behind. Drake thought about it and folded to concede the pot.

Mirza Finds a Miracle to Survive

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ambreen Mirza
Ambreen Mirza

On Table 8, in a three-bet pot, Ambreen Mirza and Alex Peffly saw a flop of {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

Mirza bet 23,000 into a pot of 36,000 and Peffly responded by raising to 115,000 and putting her all in.

Mirza spent a good amount of time in the tank, whilst receiving a massage, before deciding to call off the remainder of her stack.

Ambreen Mirza: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Alex Peffly: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Mirza was at risk and behind in this cooler and the {j-Clubs} turn was no help.

The {q-Diamonds} river was met with a unison of "ooooh"'s from the table and Mirza stacked her newly acquired chips.
