Lofberg Keeps Climbing; Hurwitz Finishes Off Kalev
Shahar Levi raised to 100,000 in the hijack before Simon Lofberg three-bet to 325,000 in the cutoff. Levi then four-bet to 850,000, and Lofberg called.
The flop came K♥9♥10♠ and Levi continued for 625,000. Lofberg called, and they both checked the 2♣ turn.
The 9♠ river was also checked down, and Levi showed A♦J♥. Lofberg turned over Q♦Q♠ and took in the pot.
At another table, Petar Kalev shoved for 300,000 in the small blind and Ben Hurwitz snap-called in the big blind.
Petar Kalev: 8♦4♦ 
Ben Hurwitz: K♥K♠
Kalev had run into Hurwitz's kings and picked up some outs on the 10♠4♣2♣ flop with a pair, but he improved no further on the J♥ turn and Q♠ river, and the start-of-day chip leader was sent to the rail. Shortly before, Clyde Tjauw Foe had also busted.
