Two More Down the Drain

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

There are just 22 players remaining as Christophe Simonis and Sarunas Linkius were both eliminated. A short-stacked Jonathan Morlet was more fortunate, as he doubled for his last 11,000 on the {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop. The Belgian got it in with {7-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Ronald Mielenski called with the {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

The {10-Spades} turn and {2-Clubs} river were blanks and Morlet stayed in for now.

Back to the Run Good

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

"In the first half an hour I hit everything, then nothing, and now I hit everything again," Ronald Van De Linde said in the last break. Indeed the Dutchman won a big pot without showdown just before everyone headed to the break and said he had pocket jacks on a jack-high flop against two opponents.

With less than one hour to go for tonight, Van De Linde moved back in contention for the chip lead with 24 players remaining.

Van De Linde Chips Up

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Joining the action on the {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop, King777 checked from the big blind and called a bet by Ronald Van De Linde on the button. The {K-Clubs} fell on the turn and King777 checked again, then called a bet of 10,000 by the Dutchman.

The {4-Diamonds} river was checked through and Van De Linde rolled over {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}. King777 checked his cards again and sent them into the muck.

Linkius Calls for a Chop to Stay Alive

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

On a {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop Sarunas Linkius bet 7,500 out of the small blind and Lukas Klima called in the big blind. The turn was the {6-Spades} and both players checked.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Linkius checked to Klima who moved all in. Linkius had around 10,000 behind and eventually called.

Klima showed {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Linkius showed {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and the two split the pot.

Motovsky Loses Flip

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

From the cutoff, Roman Motovsky moved all in for his last 36,700 and Deividas Ciakas in the small blind also shoved from the small blind with the slightly superior stack.

Roman Motovsky: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Deividas Ciakas: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

Ciakas took the lead on the {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, and the {5-Spades} turn and {J-Hearts} river changed nothing anymore.

Khossrow Paydar
Khossrow Paydar

Khossrow Paydar raised from the hijack and Alexander Thaler three-bet all in for his last 19,900. It folded back to Paydar who called.

Thaler: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Paydar: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Paydar tapped the table in appreciation of his opponent's hand, as the board ran out {10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs} handing the double up to Thaler.

A New Chip Leader Emerges

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The full action behind the rise of King777 to the chip lead is unknown, as he was last spotted with around 90,000, but the German has since more than doubled that and became the new chip leader in the last few levels of the night. Jörg Kunz at the same table also holds a big stack still, and half a million might be at stake if the duo clashes.
