Flush for Patel

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

There was a big pile of chips in the middle and three players still in with the completed board reading {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}.

Sheldon Colaco bet 6,000 and Dillan Patel min-raised to 12,000. Daniel Silverman was quick to move aside and Colaco called the rest but mucked when he saw Colaco had {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flopped flush.

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

After a promising start, Daniel Silverman has just busted after getting it in on the flop with a royal flush draw. "Oh well, at least I busted to quads" he joked to PokerNews as he headed out of the tournament room.

Sohel Back in the Game

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Mohammed Sohel is back in the game and raises to 600 on the button, over a middle position limp from [Removed:148]. Gary Chan and Cao Hoang call in the blinds, before Ahmed opts to come along too.

On the {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop, it checks to Sohel who continues for 1,200, only Chan folds, taking them three-handed to the {k-Spades} turn. It checks to Sohel again, who barrels for 1,600 and Hoang folds before Ahmed ups it to 5,200. Sohel takes his time, having another look at his cards before giving up.

Shytani Chipped Up After Winning Four-Way All In

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Kastriot Shytani opened the action in early position and was three-bet all in by Dragos Haluca. Another player who was down to the wire called, before Jiten Chauhan moved all in over the top. Back on Shytani and he called the rest, leaving the four players to turn over their holdings in the biggest pot of the tournament to date.

Kastriot Shytani: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Jiten Chauhan: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Dragos Haluca: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Chauhan was the preflop favorite and stayed that way on the {5-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop. The {a-Spades} turn was very bad news for Chauhan, leaving him down to just two outs, as Shytani moved ahead with a pair of aces.

The {q-Diamonds} river improved Shytani to two-pair and he sends two players to the rail, as well as taking a chunk out of Chauhan. So far, his decision to play a second bullet has been a profitable one.

Whicher Doubles With Second Pair

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

William Whicher was heads up in position on the turn with {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Spades} on display. He flat calls a 4,100 bet and the dealer lays a {8-Clubs} on the river.

His opponent puts 16,000 over the line, which is enough to set Whicher all in but he finds a call with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. It is good enough, with his opponent showing {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and he nets the double.

Milia and Jivoin Chop in Three-Handed Showdown

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Mohammed Sohel opened to 2,000 under the gun and Enrico Milia flatted on the cutoff, with Stefan-Fabian Jivoin calling from the small blind.

On the {4-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Diamonds} flop, Jivoin checked and Sohel continued for 3,000. Both Milia and Jivoin called.

The turn was the {4-Spades}, pairing the bottom card and this time it checked through to the {8-Diamonds} river. After a final check from Jivoin, Sohel bet 5,000 and got two quick calls from both his opponents. Jivoin and Milia turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and {q-Hearts}{q-Hearts} respectively and they chopped the pot.

Despite that hit, Sohel is still in good shape, with almost double starting stack.
