Take Two for Chidwick
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski opened to 4,500 from under the gun and was promptly three-bet by Stephen Chidwick to 11,500. The action folded around to Juan Pardo in the big blind, who asked for a count of his opponents' stacks before four-betting to 26,000.
Badziakouski folded before Chidwick moved all in and was called by Pardo.
Stephen Chidwick: 
Juan Pardo: 
Chidwick was flipping for his tournament life, but the 
runout was no help. Pardo stacked his additional chips, while Chidwick quickly went to re-enter.
On a nearby table, Cary Katz busted for the second elimination of the night.

Smith Calls to a Chop
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dan Smith raised from under the gun to 4,500 and was called by Juan Pardo to his left. Mikita Badziakouski raised to 20,000 on the button, producing a call from Smith and a fold from Pardo.
Smith checked the 
flop and Badziakouski used a time bank before announcing all in for 114,000. Smith counted out his stack before making the call, and the two players turned up their holdings.
Mikita Badziakouski: 
Dan Smith: 
Both players flopped top pair and the 
turn cemented a chopped pot. The river 
completed the board as both players took back their bets and split the pot.

Dvoress Forces the Fold
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Sam Greenwood opened to 4,000 from under the gun and was met with calls from Daniel Dvoress in the small blind and Imad Derwiche in the big blind.
All three players checked through the 
flop before Dvoress led out for 6,000 on the 
turn. Both opponents called to see the river, where Dvoress led out again for 12,000.
Derwiche folded while Greenwood used a time bank card before reaching a decision. Greenwood slid his cards to the dealer and Dvoress took down the pot.

Derwiche Doubles Through Addamo
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Michael Addamo bet 3,500 on the 
flop and was raised by Imad Derwiche to 15,000.
Addamo took some time before committing enough chips to put Derwiche all in and Derwiche complied by sliding his remaining stack into the middle.
Imad Derwiche: 
Michael Addamo: 
Derwiche's flush draw was trailing Addamo's flopped straight and the turn changed nothing. Derwiche then spiked the river to complete his flush, doubling his stack while leaving Addamo short.
