Level 7: 800/1,600/200
Aliaksandr Hirs raised to 3,200 first to act and Andrii Derzhypilskyi called on the button. Hirs bet 3,432 on a seemingly innocuous 
flop and Derzhypilskyi called.
On the turn, it turned out both players were all over the rainbow flop. Hirs bet 10,232, Derzhypilskyi raised to 26,864, Hirs clicked it back to 43,496, Derzhypilskyi shoved for 108,004 and the Belarusian called.
Aliaksandr Hirs: 
Andrii Derzhypilskyi: 
Just one out could save Derzhypilskyi from being decimated but the 
was burned and turned instead to leave him with scraps.

Level 9: 1,200/2,400/300
It's been all about Diego "TheProjector" Ventura on Day 1E thus far as the Peruvian star claimed another victim to soar to over 350k in chips. It was Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb who fell to Ventura.
Ventura had and check-raised a 
after Gottlieb had bet. The latter called and called a 14,744 bet on the turn and all-in shove for 45k on the 
river with 
. The call with third pair was unsuccessful against Ventura's top two to turn Gottlieb's second stack into dust as well.
Gottlieb, a 2020 WSOP bracelet winner and one who recently won three GGPoker tournaments in a short time span including two on the same day, bought himself back in for attempt #3 to spin it up.

Here at PokerNews we're always on the lookout for exciting tournament variants that are around, and we think we found one.
Speed Racer tournaments on GGPoker are fast. But they're slow... Well, they're fast and slow. You start every Speed Racer Bounty tournament with just ten big blinds. However, the first level is 20 minutes long, giving you plenty of time to win some flips, earn some bounties, and build up your stack.
But, you'd better do it quickly, because the levels that follow are just two minutes long!
