Jonathan Abdellatif opened for 4,200 from the hijack and chip leader Igor Yaroshevskyy popped him to 15,000 from the big blind. Abdellatif made the call and then called a bet of 12,800 from Yaroshevskyy on the 
flop.
Both players proceeded to check the 
turn as well as the 
river, and Yaroshevskyy tabled the 
for threes and fours. It was good as Abdellatif mucked his hand.
Byron Kaverman checked a completed board of 
in a battle of the blinds. His opponent put in what looked like 22,000 with a pot of about 30,000 already in the middle. After a couple of minutes, someone called a clock. The tournament director arrived and began the countdown. When there was one second left, Kaverman flicked in a chip to call, but he couldn't beat 
for trips.
Action folded around to Vasyl Vertianov in the small blind and he quickly moved all in for his remaining 10,500.
Roman Papacek was in the big blind and snap-called, virtually beating Vertianov in the pot.

The board ran out 
and Papacek out-flopped Vertianov to send him to the rail.
Steven Thompson Vila raised to 3,500 under the gun and Luiz Duarte three-bet to 10,400 from the hijack. Action folded back to Vila and he called to see a flop.
Vila checked, Duarte bet 7,800, and Vila check-raised to 19,800. Duarte made the call and the dealer put out the 
on the turn.
Vila led out for 13,700 and that did the trick as Thompson folded. Vila then showed the 
for the bluff.
Bryn Kenney was missing from his seat and his friend and former neighbor Jason Wheeler filled us in on the details.
A player in middle position opened and Kenney, seated right next to him, shoved all in for 18 big blinds. The initial raiser called with pocket tens and Kenney showed 
suited. The board came 
and Kenney hit the rail.
Wheeler himself is doing good, he has just over 190,000.

Two levels are over with, time for the first break. The players return in 20 minutes.
As we arrived, Ben Heath already had his 105,300-stack in the middle. Heath sat in the cutoff and his opponent was Dmitry Ponomarev in the hijack who had committed 27,000 to the pot already. Later we learned, that Heath had cold four-bet shoved. Ponomarev tanked for quite some time before he eventually committed.
