An Outdraw and a Cooler Crush Nikolaidi's Stack

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

It was all going so well for Irina Nikolaidi but she has just been on the receiving end of some unfortunate runouts, leaving her all out of chips.

First, she lost with pocket-kings to pocket-sixes after getting it in on a low-ball flop. Runner-runner straight outs fell for the sixes, which took the first chunk of her chips.

A little while later, down to 20,000, Nikolaidi got it all in after flopping a straight on a {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} board, to see that her opponent had flopped a flush. Time will tell whether she chooses to re-enter or not.

Van De Geer Doubles Through Kassa

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

After one player limped, Getnet Kassa raised to 2,100 and Leendert 'Leo' Van De Geer three-bet to 7,600. The initial limper folded but Kassa came along to see a {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop.

After Kassa checked Van De Geer didn't mess around, betting all of his remaining 38,000 chips. Kassa thought about it and found a call.

Leendert Van De Geer: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Getnet Kassa: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

It was over pair vs an overcard and a flush draw but the {7-Spades} turn and {4-Spades} river bricked, sending the chips Van De Geer's way.

No Value for Kings

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Paul McGee raised to 5,000 in early position and the only player to call was Victor Nitel. There was no betting on the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} board and when the cards were turned over, McGee took a small pot for his pocket-kings.

Paul McGee: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Victor Nitel: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

He has dropped some chips but it is another story for Nitel, who had been building well since dropping to 10,000 earlier.

Clash of the Monsters for Donato and Manohar

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With the first and second best hands in play, it was no surprise to see all the chips fly into the middle between Kevin Manohar and Salvatore Donato.

Kevin Manohar: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Salvatore Donato: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

It was a safe runout for the aces and Manohar gets the double just as players get ready to take a brea.

Hegedus and Nikolaidi Flip

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Irina Nikolaidi opened to 3,000 in middle position and faced a three-bet all in to 19,400 by Gabor Hegedus. She made the call and the pair were off to the races.

Gabor Hegedus: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Irina Nikolaidi: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Nikolaidi failed to connect on the {2-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds} board, giving Hegedus a double. Nikolaidi has still increased her stack since she re-entered though and has around 40 big blinds to play with.
