Wagner Wysotchanski opened to 4,000 from middle position and Casey Stewart defended from the big blind.

The flop came Q♥10♥10♦ and Stewart check-called a 3,000 bet from Wysotchanski.

Stewart check-called another bet from Wysotchanski on the 2♠ turn, this time for 6,000.

Both players checked the 2♣ river. Stewart had ace-high and a missed gutshot with A♠J♥ while Wysotchanski turned over 4♦4♠ to take the pot.

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

Adekunle Olohno opened to 4,000 before Istvan Birizdo three-bet to 11,000 from the hijack, and Olonoh called.

On the A♠A♦4♦ flop, Birizdo continued for 3,000 and Olonoh check-called.

The Q♥ turn checked through to the K♣ river which saw Olonoh check for a third time. Birizdo cut out a bet of 16,000 and Olonoh did not take long before he stuck in the call. Birizdo tabled A♥10♦ for flopped trips which were enough to drag a sizeable pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Istvan Birizdo	185,000 51,000	51,000
Adekunle Olonoh	25,000 14,000	14,000

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

Niroshan Loganathan bet 2,500 from middle position on a flop of K♣K♥9♦ and Thomas Eychenne raised to 10,000 in the small blind. Loganathan called and the 7♥ fell on the turn.

Eychenne checked and Loganathan bet another 17,000. Eychenne called to the 3♦ river and checked again, and this time Loganathan moved all in.

Eychenne picked up a 500 chip and began shuffling it in his hands for a few seconds before tossing it into the middle, calling for his last 40,000.

"Sorry, bro," Loganathan said, turning over 3♥3♣ for a rivered full house. Eychenne flashed 9♥7♦ before making his exit.

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

Jeremy Becker opened to 4,000 from early position before Louise Francoeur three-bet to 11,000 from middle position. In the cutoff, Michael Lang cold-called and Becker also came along.

Three ways to a A♠5♠4♣ flop, Becker checked to Francoeur who continued for 17,000. Lang quickly moved all-in for 55,000 while Becker folded, and Francoeur snapped it off.

Michael Lang: A♦K♣ All in
Louise Francoeur: A♣Q♣

Both players flopped top pair but Lang's kicker was better. Nothing changed on the 6♥10♠ runout as Lang got the full double at the expense of Francoeur, who still keeps a healthy stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Louise Francoeur	155,000 65,000	65,000
Michael Lang	148,000 103,000	103,000

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

Daniel Moran bet 8,000 from the cutoff on a flop of A♦J♣5♦ and Ching Da Wu raised to 20,000 in middle position. Moran called and the 10♣ fell on the turn.

Wu then moved all in for 45,000 and Moran snap-called. Wu showed J♦J♠ for a set, while Moran had A♣J♥ for top two pair.

"How many coolers are there going to be?" Moran said dejectedly as the Q♦ completed the board on the river, securing the double up for Wu and leaving Moran as an extreme short stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ching Da Wu	150,000 78,500	78,500

Daniel Moran	10,000 91,000	91,000

Eric Molina was all in for his last 30,000 from the small blind and up against Marco Johnson in the hijack.

Eric Molina: A♥Q♣ All in
Marco Johnson: 8♠8♦

Johnson remained in the lead with his eights on the 4♠7♠10♣ flop, while the rest of the board ran out 6♠5♠ as Johnson completed a straight flush to send Molina to the rail.

"You don't see that every day. That's worthy of a PokerNews update," tablemate Jim Collopy said.
