Bolling Pips Harrak

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 800 ante

There was a raise to 2,200 in early position and Andreas Bolling just called in the cutoff. Oussama Harrak shoved all in for 14,100 in the small blind which got the initial raiser to fold. Bolling called, however, and the cards were on their backs.

Oussama Harrak: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Andreas Bolling: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The flop of {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} provided no help to Harrak with the inferior pocket pair. The {a-Hearts} on the turn gave him a flush draw but the {10-Diamonds} on the river bricked out. Harrak was eliminated and Bolling added to his growing stack.

Kassouf Loses One

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 600 ante

William Kassouf has joined the tournament and was involved in a pot against Thomas Santerne.

There were roughly 13,500 chips in the middle on a board of {4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} when Kassouf checked from under the gun. Santerne responded with a bet of 6,500, which Kassouf called after getting the exact amount from the dealer.

On the river {6-Spades}, the action went check-check and Kassouf's {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} was no good against Santerne's {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Danut Chisu opened to 1,700 from under the gun before Vadzim Godzdanker three-bet to 4,000 from middle position. Manuel Labous then jammed for 13,400 from the big blind and only Godzdanker called.

Manuel Labous: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Vadzim Godzdanker: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop kept Godzdanker ahead but the {k-Clubs} turn brought in the flush draw for Labous. However, the {10-Hearts} river filled Godzdanker up and Labous was eliminated.

Fluereci Triples, Kassouf Bullied out of the Side Pot

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 600 ante

Will Kassouf opened to 2,000 on the button and Daniel Smiljkovic three-bet to 7,000 in the small blind. Robert Fluereci shoved all in for his last 3,400 and Kassouf called to create a side pot.

The flop fell {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Smiljkovic jammed all in for 18,200. Kassouf asked for a count and deliberated for a moment but opted to fold. Smiljkovic was awarded the side pot and the remaining two hands were tabled.

Robert Fluereci: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Daniel Smiljkovic: {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

Fluereci was well out front with top pair but Smiljkovic had a straight draw. The {4-Spades} on the turn gave him some more outs but the {3-Hearts} on the river was not one of them.
