Karoui Among the Early Chip Leaders

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Moncef Karoui had already chipped up early on and added even more chips after he knocked out Marton Czuczor. There was a minor twist to the story, though, as Karoui needed some time to think on a completed board of 10♥7♣2♣6♥J♥.

The clock was called on him when facing the shove by Czuczor, and Karoui then called with the 10♣7♠ for two pair. It was good, as Czuczor only had the 9♠9♥.

"Thank you," Karoui grinned to the player that had the called the clock on him.

Hani Straightens Teliani Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

William Hani opened to 1,000 first-to-act and Nohad Teliani shoved for her last 12,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Hani, who called to put Teliani at risk.

Nohad Teliani: 8♦8♣
William Hani: A♣Q♥

The 10♥J♣4♥ flop gave Hani additional outs and the K♦ turn filled Hani's Broadway straight draw to leave Teliani drawing dead.

An irrelevant 5♦ completed the board and Teliani was eliminated.

Shahar Deals Final Blow to Ritter

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

It remains unclear when the chips went in but Uwe Ritter was left with the head shaking as he exited the tournament area. The cards were still showing as Ritter's J♥2♥ had flopped a flush draw. However, there was no further heart on the Q♦9♥4♥9♦7♣ runout and that kept the A♥A♣ of Ran Shahar ahead.
