Choi Triples Up, Kamhazi Doubles

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Stanley Choi shoved from the hijack for 92,000 and so did Jonathan Kamhazi on the button with the bigger stack. Manig Loeser asked for a count and saw he had Kamhazi covered and decided to also shove. Ben Yu quickly folded his big blind.

Stanley Choi: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Jonathan Kamhazi: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Manig Loeser: {J-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for both Choi and Kamhazi to flop a higher pair than Loeser with Choi also picking up the flush draw.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds} to now give Kamhazi two pair. Choi needed a heart to triple up and Loeser needed a jack to eliminate both of his opponents.

The river completed the board with the {6-Hearts} to give Choi the flush to triple up. After Kamhazi had paid Choi, he had 115,000 left which he would double for through Loeser.

Sontheimer Eliminated

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The exact details are unknown but Steffen Sontheimer has just been eliminated by Jack Salter when he went all-in for his last chips in the big blind. Salter was sitting on the button and Jason Koon was also involved in the hand from the small blind.

This means that the 24 remaining players will be redrawn to the final three tables.

Been Doubles Through Sontheimer

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Steffen Sontheimer shoved from the button for around 170,000 and Aaron Been snap-called in the big blind for the 109,000 he had behind.

"That was a quick call?!" Sontheimer commented before the cards were flipped open.

Aaron Been: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Steffen Sontheimer: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts} for Been's pocket kings to hold and provide him the double-up.

Over on one of the other tables, Koray Aldemir was eliminated but the details are unfortunately unknown.
