Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Johan Espholm is on his third bullet for the day but made up for that in a successful cashgame session earlier. Espholm may need to re-enter on Day 1b however, as his third attempt just took a major blow.

Four ways to the turn, Stanislav Koleno checked in the big blind and Didier Rabl bet 16,800 in the hijack. Espholm called in the cutoff and so did Giovanni Salvatore on the button while Koleno folded. The river brought a pot-sized bet of 66,000 by Rabl and Espholm called, Salvatore folded.

Rabl announced a flush and turned over to win the pot.
