Silva Running Away

Level 10 : 2,500/5,000, 750 ante

Pablo Silva defended his big blind from a raise to 11,500 by Michael Addamo in the cutoff. Silva check-called a large bet of 23,063 on the {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and then an overbet of 96,095 on the {q-Hearts}. He checked the {j-Diamonds} river and Addamo tanked into his bank before checking back with {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

He was likely happy he did so as Silva showed {8-Spades}{5-Hearts} for two pair.

After the win, Silva crossed 1 million in chips and has distanced himself from the rest of the players for now.

Coleman Cooked

Level 10 : 2,500/5,000, 750 ante

Renan Bruschi opened for 11,000 on the button and David Coleman went into his time bank before shoving 169K in the big blind. Bruschi was in there with a fast call holding {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} against {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

the {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Spades}{3-Spades} board brought a backdoor flush possibility but it didn't come home for Coleman on the {6-Hearts}.

No Sweat for Elias

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 600 ante

Darren Elias opened for 8,000 under the gun and called when Rui Ferreira set him in for about 100,000 out of the big blind.

Elias had dominating {j-}{j-} against {10-}{10-} and flopped a set to all but end it.

Barer Building Bounties

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 600 ante

Ami Barer opened for 9,000 in middle position and recent two-event winner Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb defended the big blind after Stephen Chidwick called in the small. On the {5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Barer continued for 12,800, Chidwick called, and Gottlieb shoved. Barer shoved as well and Chidwick gave it up.

Barer: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Gottlieb: {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Barer improved to a full house as it ran {2-Hearts}, {9-Diamonds}. After a rocky start, he's now the chip leader and has $10,000 in bounties.

Gottlieb, meanwhile, rebought and was seated right back in the same spot.

Nemeth Trying to Rebuild

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 600 ante

On his third shell and down to 33K under the gun, Andras Nemeth shoved all in. Chris Rudolph jammed in the small blind and Shyngis Satubayev tanked until he had under 10 seconds in his bank before folding for about 100K.

Nemeth: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Rudolph: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Nemeth paired his ten on the flop and faded backdoor combo draws on {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Level: 9

Blinds: 2,000/4,000

Ante: 600

Hartmann Doubles on River

Level 8 : 1,750/3,500, 500 ante

Pascal Hartmann avoided busting a second time as he shoved for just 48K in the small blind over a button open by Eelis Parssinen. Parssinen put in the "WTF" emoji then called with {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. He was live against {a-Spades}{3-Spades} and things looked good as he flopped a six on the {6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} board, but the {a-Diamonds} river gave Hartmann new life.

Ladva Busted by Barer

Level 8 : 1,750/3,500, 500 ante

Ottomar Ladva limped in the small blind, Ami Barer made it 13,650, and Ladva shoved for 117K. Barer called.

Barer: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Ladva: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The race went to Barer unimproved as the board came {4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}.
