Hand 1

Joseph Kushner raised from the cutoff to 15,000 and Sam Greenwood called in the big blind. On the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop both players checked and did so again for the {5-Hearts} turn. Greenwood then bet the {7-Diamonds} river for 25,000 and Kushner folded.

One hand later, Fabian Geisel opened the action with a raise to 15,000 and Ka Kwan Lau on the button as well as Greenwood in the small blind called. The flop of {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} was checked to Geisel and he continued for 30,000. Lau quickly folded, but Greenwood came along for the ride.

The {J-Spades} turn went check, check, before Greenwood also checked the {9-Hearts} river. Geisel bet 80,000 with 130,000 behind and Greenwood gave him a long staredown for more than two minutes before letting go.

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Ka Kwan Lau raised to 16,000 on the button and Sam Greenwood called in the small blind. On the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, Greenwood check-called a bet worth 25,000 before the duo checked the {9-Hearts} turn and the {2-Diamonds} river. Greenwood announced a set and Lau shook his head, then mucked when Greenwood rolled over {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

One hand later, Greenwood raised to 15,000 on the button and Fabian Geisel defended the big blind.

After the {A-Diamonds} river, Geisel fired 50,000 and Greenwood reluctantly folded.

Both Greenwood and Geisel are the most active players on the final table and hold the biggest stacks as well.

First Break of the Day

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

The first two hours reduced the field of hopefuls from 13 to the last eight, and the money bubble will take place after the next elimination. The players have been sent into a 15-minute break, in which the T-500 chips will be raced off.

Some food for thought on the break.

Level: 16

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 0
