Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit won a rather sizable pot from Juha Helppi not too long ago. In that pot Kanit made a call with what would end up third pair and a flush draw on the turn, only to see the river go check check. Kanit's turned out to be the best hand as Helppi mucked.

Just now the two clashed again. Kanit opened to 55,000 from the small blind and Helppi in the big blind made the call. Kanit made a 65,000 c-bet on and Helppi raised it up to 150,000. Kanit called, and check called another 200,000 on the turn.

The river came the and with 670,000 behind Kanit checked. Helppi, with a stack of 648,000 moved 300,000 forward. Kanit tanked for several minutes, before eventually folding with a big sigh.

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Leonid Markin is playing a bit different than the other remaining players in the tournament. His raise sizes differ from the others. On the one hand they're a bit bigger before the flop most of the times, on the other hand his three bets are smaller.

Just now Stephen Chidwick limped the button for 24,000. Leonid Markin in the small blind raised it up to 52,000 and Kanit folded his big blind. Chidwick called, but folded to his neighbors 60,000 c-bet on .

So far its working out for him, he has one of the biggest stacks in the room.
