Pair Over Pair Works Out for Popovski

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The player sat in early position moved all in and it folded round to Sasho Popovski, who went all in over the top. Everyone else folded and they turned over their cards.

Sasho Popovski: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Popovski held through the {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, the {4-Diamonds} turn and the {a-Spades} river to eliminate his opponent and boost up in the chip counts.

A Step in the Right Direction for Hall

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

He has just taken a step in the right direction though after eliminating a short stack who moved all-in in front of him with {j-Spades}{8-Spades}. Hall found {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} in the hole and held on the {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Hearts} river.

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.

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.
