Hardcastle turned over , having flopped the nut straight, and taking his stack to nearly 300,000.

Somodi, meanwhile, went from one of the bigger stacks in the room to suddenly out of the tournament.

Pyzara Continues Stellar Start

blaisebourgeois

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kacper Pyzara opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Feroz Ahmadi called from the button. Gaelle Baumann also called from the big blind.

The flop came and Pyzara continued for 3,500. Ahmadi flatted and Baumann got out of the way.

On the river, Pyzara thought for about 30 seconds before asking Ahmadi how much he was playing with. After showing his stack of 20,900 chips, Pyzara put in his stack of blues, putting Ahmadi all in.

It didn't take long for Ahmadi to lay his hand down and Pyzara took himself over the 100,000-chip mark.
