Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

From middle position, Marle Spragg opened to 3,500, and was only called by Giorgiy Skhuluhiya on the button.

The flop 2♣3♥A♥ was quickly checked by both players to move on to the turn 9♥, where Spragg decided to bet 5,500. She was called by Skhuluhiya.

Finally, on the river 5♦, Spragg asked for 7,500 chips. But in front of her, Skhuluhiya moved all in with a bigger stack. Facing a decision, Spragg eventually folded.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Gonzalo Leal Moreno raised to 3,000 in the cutoff before Brandon Leetz moved all in for 32,500 on the button. Samir Moukawem then reshoved in the small blind and Leal Moreno folded.

Brandon Leetz: 4♠4♦
Samir Moukawem: A♥K♥

Moukawem was looking to win the race to score the knockout but couldn't connect with the Q♣7♦2♣5♣9♣ board. He flung his arms in the air in frustration and angrily tossed his cards back to the dealer while Leetz scooped in a double up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A few hands after Brandon Leetz doubled up at this table, Gonzalo Leal Moreno and Boris Kolev would tangle in another all-in pot.

Leal Moreno bet 5,000 on a flop of J♦J♥2♦ and Kolev then raised to 10,500 in the cutoff. Leal Moreno called from the big blind and the K♦ fell on the turn.

Kolev then bet another 6,000 and Leal Moreno raised enough to put him all in. Kolev called off his last 20,000 with A♣K♥, but Leal Moreno had J♠8♦ for trip jacks.

The river came the Q♥ and Kolev was sent to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ren Lin registered for Day 1c on dinner break but lasted less than one level after running into Marat Shafigullin.

Lin raised to 3,000 in the hijack before Shafigullin three-bet to 8,000 from the cutoff. "No Gamble, No Future," Lin said as he put his last 30,000 in the pot. Shafigullin snap-called.

Ren Lin: 9♠9♣
Marat Shafigullin: A♥A♠

"Goodbye," Lin said after seeing Shafigullin's aces. The Q♥K♠5♥6♥8♥ board didn't provide him with any help and Lin was sent to the rail.

"Ay, ay, ay, what a good hand," Lin said as he headed to the exit.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Charbel Salloum had moved all in for 16,500 from the button and Rafael Navas called under the gun. Kurt Radinger also called in early position.

Navas and Radinger both checked the 4♥6♥2♦ flop before Radinger bet 6,000 on the 4♦ turn. Navas called to the 6♦ river.

Radinger then bet another 12,000 and Navas got out of the way this time. Salloum opened up 8♣8♠, but Radinger had 10♦9♦ for the rivered flush to send Salloum to the rail, muttering to himself as he went.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Sergiu Covrig was all in for 24,500 and called by Niko Koop as action went on Yan Mitrofanov. "Make it a double KO," Covrig told him, but Mitrofanov decided to fold.

Sergiu Covrig: A♣4♣
Niko Koop: 7♠7♦

"This is the ultimate battle. Whiskey versus cappuccino. I think cappuccino will win," Covrig said heading to the board, which came 8♠5♥J♠K♣Q♦. Koop's sevens stayed in the lead and Covrig checked that Koop had him covered before heading for the exit.
