Frank Visser

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Catching the action on a 10♦A♦5♣ flop, Imad Saab made a bet of 35,000 from middle position, which Florian Duta called in the cutoff.

Saab sized up to 90,000 on the 2♣ turn, quickly calling off when Duta shoved all in for 249,000.

Florian Duta: 10♠10♥ All in
Imad Saab: A♥K♣ All in

Saab's top pair was drawing dead against the set of Duta. The chips were carefully counted after the 6♦ river, and Saab was eliminated after it was determined that both players had the same stack.

Level 8 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bassel Moussa got his remaining 70,000 in from middle position against Sandra Cotescu, who had opened under the gun.

Bassel Moussa: A♦J♥ All in
Sandra Cotescu: K♠K♣

The 5♦10♣Q♦ flop provided Moussa with some extra outs. He pleaded for a diamond on the turn for even more outs, but the 3♣ came instead. The 7♦ river did not change anything as Moussa departed the tournament area.

"I should have folded," he muttered as he walked away from the table.

Bulent Kose raised from middle position and John Duthie called in the hijack before Stanislav Sokruta squeezed to 85,000 from the cutoff. Both Kose and Duthie made the call.

The flop came 6♣2♥A♣ and when it checked to Sokruta, he made a continuation-bet of 75,000. Kose called and Duthie got out of the way to focus on the massage he's currently receiving.

On the 9♣ turn, both players tapped the the table to the J♦ river, where Kose threw out a bet of 100,000. Sokruta instantly folded, and Kose pulled in yet more chips.

There were already around 300,000 chips in the pot on a 7♠2♣A♥5♣4♠ board when Nichan Khorchidian checked from under the gun. Stanislav Sokruta was in the the cutoff and fired out 110,000, sending Khorchidian into one of his 'think out loud decisions'.

"Do you know what I have?" Khorchidian asked. Sokruta stayed silent while Khorchidian kept vocal as he tried to come to the right conclusion. Eventually, Khorchidian did fold.

"I'll show if you show," said Khorchidian. Sokruta agreed and flipped over a set with 2♦2♠. and Khorchidian kept his word and showed A♦J♣.

Three-way to the 3♦J♦A♥K♣ turn, the action checked to Yuhang Chen on the button, who added 100,000 to the pot of 130,000. Oshri Lahmani called in the small blind before the big blind mucked his cards.

Lahmani also checked the 4♣ river, seeing Chen move all in. Lahmani instantly slammed in his stack of 137,000 and tabled K♥Q♠ for second pair.

Chen was sitting on the nuts with his Q♦10♥, however, and took down the pot to eliminate Lahmani from the tournament.
