Ollie Garland

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou raised from the cutoff, receiving calls from Chris Brewer, in the small blind, and Dominik Nitsche, in the big blind.

The action checked to Hissou, who bet out 8,000 on the 4♦8♣5♦ flop. Brewer clicked it back to 16,000, Nitsche cold-called and Hissou folded.

The A♣ turn saw Brewer moved all in for 32,500 and Nitsche made a frustrated call.

Chris Brewer: J♦8♦
Dominik Nitsche: Q♦2♦

The river landed the A♠ and Brewer's pair of eights ensured him the full double up.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was joined when Steve O'Dwyer was all in and at risk from the small blind against the covering stack of Kazuhiko Yotsushika.

Steve O'Dwyer: Q♥J♥
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♣K♠

The flop of 4♠J♦5♠ provided no help for O'Dwyer. The 6♥ turn kept Yotsushika ahead and the K♦ river sent O'Dwyer to the rebuy desk.

On another table as this hand was taking place, Seonguk Huh was also eliminated.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mike Watson moved all in for his last 78,000 from the cutoff and was called by Santhosh Suvarna, in the big blind.

Mike Watson: K♥10♥
Santhosh Suvarna: Q♣Q♦

Watson was in rough shape, until the flop landed K♦4♦9♣ pairing his king. The 7♣ turn was a safe one, however, the Q♠ river put Suvarna out in front again and Watson was sent to the rail.

On an adjacent table, Alex Kulev made his exit after firing his second bullet in this tournament.

The pot stood at approximately 18,000 with two players looking at a flop of 4♠9♣7♣.

Chris Brewer, in the small blind, checked the action to Adrian Mateos, in middle position. Mateos bet out 12,000 and Brewer check-raised to 30,000. Mateos moved all in and Brewer snap-called.

Adrian Mateos: A♣6♣
Chris Brewer: Q♣J♣

Mateos was already ahead with his ace-high and also had Brewer's flush draw covered. The 9♦ turn and K♥ river changed nothing and Mateos doubled up, leaving Brewer short.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Viacheslav Buldygin opened from under the gun to 5,000. Action folded around to Daniel Dvoress who called in the small blind.

He checked the 4♣J♥4♦ flop to Buldygin who bet 4,000. Dvoress then put in the check-raise to 12,000. Buldygin took a moment before making the call. Dvoress check-called a 6,000 bet on the 2♠ turn before the 8♥ river was checked around. Buldygin showed A♠8♣ for ace high and Dvoress showed 5♣5♦ for two pair. He gave Buldygin a thumbs up as he scooped the pot.
