Rezaei Takes Out Two Short Stacks

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

Armin Rezaei was sitting with a below-average chip stack but there were two others that had less chips than him at the table. Rezaei happened to get his stack in the middle against both players, Damien Pilkington-Lewis and David Splettstoesser.

Rezaei had the best of it with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} against the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} of Splettstoesser and {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} of Pilkington-Lewis. The board ran out clean for Rezaei who scored the double knockout and brought his stack closer to the tournament average.

Karam Sends Dvoress Packing

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

After arriving at the table, Daniel Dvoress and Ramzi Karam had all of their chips in the middle in a classic coin flip scenario. Dvoress was the player at risk for around 65,000 and needed to hold.

Daniel DvoresS: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Ramzi Karam: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop of {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} favored Dvoress who was in the lead with his pair of jacks. However, the {a-Clubs} on the turn hit Karam and Dvoress was unable to retake the lead on the {3-Hearts} river.

No Call for Rauch

He remains the biggest stack at the table as he pulled ahead of Iraj Parvizi and Kent Roed.

Bruno Volkmann
Bruno Volkmann

Bruno Volkmann started as one of the big stacks but the Brazilian was just sent to the rail. Gangzhou Hu dealt the final blow with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} versus {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} when the Frenchman spiked a set on the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades} board after Volkmann had started the hand with a short stack if around 40,000.

New big stack on his former table is Mikita Badziakouski, who entered on Day 2 and joined the current chip leaders within the first two levels of play.

Assorted Counts in the Field

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

Kempe Wasn't Folding

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

Rainer Kempe opened to 4,500 in the hijack and Harpreet Gill just called from the small blind. Dylan Lambert re-raised to 21,500 from the big blind and Kempe responded with a four-bet to 49,500.

Gill frustratingly pushed his cards to the muck and Lambert took some time but ultimately did the same.

"I wanted to go all-in first," Gill said afterward.

"I wasn't folding," was Kempe's response.

Labous Doubles Through Simunic

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