Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Maksim Haitsiukevich open-raised to 2,500 from under the gun and Luke Marsh three-bet to 6,000 from the button. Mikhail Nikolaev called in the small blind and the big blind came along.

The flop came 7♥6♠10♦ and Nikolaev checked. Haitsiukevich bet 4,500 and only Nikolaev called. On the K♥ turn, Nikolaev checked and Haitsiukevich sized up to 8,500, which Nikolaev called.

The river came the 5♣ and Nikolaev checked a third time. Haitsiukevich went smaller with a bet of 5,500 and Nikolaev went into the tank. He then slammed the chips in the middle, prompting Haitsiukevich to reveal K♦Q♦ for a pair of kings. Nikolaev slammed his cards and Haitsiukevich took the pot.

Glen Keogh raised from middle position, Jerome Lhostis three-bet from the hijack, then Keogh moved all in for around 20,000. Lhostis made the call with a much bigger stack and players turned their cards.

Glen Keogh: K♣Q♦ All in
Jerome Lhostis: A♠Q♠

Keogh was dominated and found no help as the board ran out 2♥2♦10♦4♣J♦. Neither player improved and so Lhostis held with his ace-high and the pair of deuces on board to win the pot. Keogh was eliminated and Lhostis chipped up to around 150,000.
