Sam Greenwood Eliminated by Ole Schemion

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

As we walked up to the table, Sam Greenwood was already put to the test by Ole Schemion for all of his chips. The board read {3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Greenwood had checked from the big blind to his German opponent in the hijack. Ole had bet 100,000 and was effectively asking Greenwood to decide for his tourney life as the Canadian pro had about 71,000 left.

Greenwood thought for some time and eventually made the call. Ole instantly showed {J-Spades}{Q-Spades} for the nuts and Greenwood mucked.

Greenwood told us that Ole had checked back the flop, and Greenwood had lead out on the turn where Schemion had called. So check check on the flop, bet by Greenwood and call by Shcemion on the turn, and check call all in on the river by Greenwood.

Soshnikov Regains the Lead

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Ivan Soshnikov and Mike Leah went to the flop of {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} and the Russian fired 25,000 out of the small blind. Leah called and repeated the very same on the {4-Clubs} turn for 56,000. The river brought the {10-Hearts} and the final barrel of the start-of-the-day chip leader was a big one: 140,000.

Leah stared at his opponent for a while and eventually made the call only to muck when Soshnikov showed him the {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} for an overpair to the board.

Roberts takes from Schemion

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Brian Roberts
Brian Roberts

Ole Schemion limped from under the gun and Brian Roberts as well as Pablo Fernandez did so as well, Christoph Vogelsang checked his option in the big blind. Schemion bet the {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} flop and the {K-Clubs} turn to receive a single caller in Brian Roberts. The {Q-Clubs} on the river then triggered a bet of 31,000 by Schemion and Roberts made the call.

Schemion showed {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} for a back door flush, but Roberts had that beat with {Q-Spades} {10-Spades} for a full house.

"Nyet! Nyet! No More! No! Not tonight! This &*^$#$, all night he, Check. Check. Check. He trap me!"

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Well, it wasn't so much trapping, but there was a lot of checking.

Before the flop Bryn Kenney (button) and Olivier Busquet (small blind) went to war. Kenney opened to 14,000 and Busquet three bet to 43,000. Kenney made it four bets, raising to 89,000. After some time Busquet made the call.

That was it for the action, both players checked the board of {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

Busquet was to show first and rolled over {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for not much of anything. Kenney had slightly betterwith the {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}, and received the chips in the pot.

McDonald Rivered and Out

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Mike McDonald opened under the gun for 14,000 and Micah Raskin, sat to his left, three-bet to 40,000.

The remaining players folded and McDonald announced all in. Raskin took a few seconds but made the call to put McDonald at risk.

McDonald: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Raskin: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The final board read {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

McDonald had Raskin dominated preflop but the final card brought the flush and Raskin gave a little fist pump as he bust a tough player with no further chance of re-entry.

Joao Vieira Eliminated By Mike Leah

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

The action folded around to Joao Vieira in the hijack who moved all in for his remaining 75,000 in chips. The option then fell on Mike Leah on the button who went into the tank for over a minute. He finally made the call as the blinds got out of the way.

Leah: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Vieira: {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop of {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} gave Vieira a gut-shot straight draw but he would be drawing dead when the dealer produced the {4-Diamonds} on the turn giving Leah a full house. The {4-Clubs} on the river gave Leah quads as he moves up to 525,000 in chips.

Ivan Soshnikov opened to 12,000 from the cutoff and Isaac Haxton made it 37,000 right next to him on the button. Big blind Jani Sointula now pushed for a little over 80,000 and Soshnikov immediately folded. Haxton added the needed chips though and the second all in and call of the day was a fact.

Isaac Haxton: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Jani Sointula: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board brought no light for Sointula: {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and he entered the dark tunnel of tournament elimination.
