Kassa Out to Matei

LisaY

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The fast structure continues to pressure the shorter stacks and Getnet Kassa is the latest player to find himself heading for the door.

Silverman Doubles Through Sohel

LisaY

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

It's been a rollercoaster of a ride for Daniel Silverman today but currently is on an upward trend. He and Mohammed Sohel were facing a flop and there was 22,000 in the middle. Sohel was in early position and first to act, betting 8,000. Silverman called on the cutoff and they saw a pair the board on the turn.

Sohel barreled for 16,000 and Silverman peeled again. The last card out paired the board again with the and Sohel set his opponent all in. "I think I may be buying in again," said Silverman as he made the call. It wasn't the case though, with his good against Sohel's bluff.

Big Stack Wars

LisaY

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Two of the biggest stacks in the tournament were tangled up in a hand with the flop cards already dealt and 32,000 in the middle.

Umberan Akhtar was sat on the button with a 20,000 bet in front and Edgar Drozdov had raised it to 61,000. Akhtar handed the dealer his two remaining time bank cards and stood up whilst deliberating what to do.

"I have six-three" he said when he was halfway through his time. "Why would you do that with a flush draw?" he asked Drozdov, who gave no reply. He ultimately decided to fold but did indeed have six-three, which he flashed to the table. Drozdov didn't reciprocate, sending his cards into the muck.

Edgar Drozdov	325,000 80,000	80,000
Umberan Akhtar	166,000 -24,000	-24,000

Drozdov Unstoppable?

LisaY

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Edgar Drozdov has just eliminated Dante Matei after the two players got it in on the flop in a multi-way hand.

It all began with an under-the-gun limp and a 7,500 raise from early position before Matei flatted the button, and Drozdov and Joan Hadley called from the blinds.

It was a board and everyone checked to Matei who announced his all in. Drozdov insta-called on his left and everyone else moved aside.

Edgar Drozdov:
Dante Matei:

It was top pair vs an open-ended straight draw/flush draw combo and by the time the had completed the board, Drozdov had made a straight, sending Matei out the door.
