Kassa Extends Lead

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Things are going from strength to strength for Getnet Kassa. He has just eliminated another player and is over the half-milly mark now.

Parviz Siabi was the unfortunate casualty, making a move all in for 77,500 on the button with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and losing a flip against Kassa's {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} on a {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} board.

That takes the field down to the final 36 players, with Kassa's table breaking as a result of that hand.

Heads Up for a Triple Up

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

What a time to find aces. With only 32,000 (8 big blinds), Duncan Mackie got his chips in preflop; and after one player had called, a second opponent re-raised all in to squeeze the first player out of the hand. Playing heads up for a triple up, Mackie turned over pocket {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and was a 5:1 favorite against his opponents' {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

Mackie had made a full house by the time the {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{a-Clubs} completed board was down. He is in much better shape now with 25 big blinds in front.

Bader Busts One

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

It's that stage of the tournament, where the blinds are expensive for the players who are still on starting stack. Over on Table 1, Daniel Bader opened to 10,000 in the small blind and the player in the big blind three-bet all in for 31,500. Bader liked the price and called.

Daniel Bader: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Bader was the marginal underdog as they headed to the flop. It came {7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, making a pair for both players but Bader moved into the lead with the higher one. The {q-Clubs} turn changed nothing and the {3-Diamonds} river was a brick too, netting Bader a decent sum that takes him above average stack now.

Chip Counts and Eliminations

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

More for Moisac

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player moved all in from the cutoff and Bogdan Moisac got his chips in on the button.

Bogdan Moisac: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

With no eight on the {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} board, Moisac sends a player to the rail and becomes one of the top chip stacks in the process.

First hand back from the break, Mark Wong got his remaining big blind in but failed to make a comeback after losing the monstrous pot noted below. Late registration has now closed but there is still Day 1h available to play, which kicked off at 6pm.

Kassa and Wong Clash in Chip Lead Pot

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

In the closing moments of the last level, a huge pot took place that created a new chip leader after big stacks Getnet Kassa and Mark Wong clashed in spectacular fashion.

All the chips went in on the turn on a {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board and Kassa had flopped the straight with {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, whilst Wong had turned trips with {7-}{6-}. The {5-Clubs} river was a brick and Wong is down to fumes, simultaneously skyrocketting Kassa into the lead.
