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 
board and when the cards were turned over, McGee took a small pot for his pocket-kings.
Paul McGee: 
Victor Nitel: 
He has dropped some chips but it is another story for Nitel, who had been building well since dropping to 10,000 earlier.

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 
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:
Getnet Kassa: 
It was over pair vs an overcard and a flush draw but the 
turn and 
river bricked, sending the chips Van De Geer's way.

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 
board, to see that her opponent had flopped a flush. Time will tell whether she chooses to re-enter or not.
