Updated Chip Counts at Break

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Players are on dinner break for 75 minutes, with registration set to end when they get back. Sebastian Ruiz Figueroa busted out and reentered.

Bensadoun Eliminated

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

[Removed:119] limped in first to act and Luc Greenwood made it 4,000 in the cutoff. Bensadoun tried shoving but the dealer said 12,800 was his max bet. He put that amount in, and Greenwood quickly called. The flop came {10-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, and Bensadoun put his last 15,000 or so in. Greenwood called without delay.

Greenwood: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Bensadoun: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Bensadoun had top two and was fading a combo draw along. The turn was a {10-Hearts} but the river {6-Clubs} filled Greenwood's flush draw. Bensadoun nodded in submission and gathered his belongings, having exhausted both allotted bullets.

Bouloutsos Doubles Through Bulychev

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

On a flop of {7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} Ilya Bulychev got his last 30,000 or so in against Konstantinos Bouloutsos.

Bulychev: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Bouloutsos: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

Bouloutsos was in good shape with a flush draw plus overpair. The {7-Clubs} turn helped him reduce Bulychev's outs, and the {3-Hearts} was a blank on the end.

Thanks, durrrr

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

George Wolff bet 33,700 from the button on a completed board of {6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Spades}. Big blind Bogdan Capitan flicked in a chip to call, and Wolff showed pocket jacks with a nine in his hand for good measure. He swept up the sizable pot.

"I learned that from Tom 'durrrr' Dwan," he proclaimed.

Reentries continue to pour in. Alexander Uskov and Murad Akhundov used theirs.

Watson Doubles to Leave Akhundov on Fumes

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

After an early open by Ilya Bulychev and two calls, Murad Akhundov put in 16,000 from the small blind. Bulychev called, as did Mike Watson in the cutoff. The flop came {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, and Akhundov potted all in. Bulychev mucked but Watson quickly called.

Watson: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Akhundov: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Watson had a pile of outs with his flush draw and two pair chances, and the {10-Clubs} got him there with tens up. The river was a harmless {5-Spades}.

Fabian Riebau-Schmithals just got all in with {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} against the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} of Francesco Grande. It appeared the money went in on the {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop. The turn was a {7-Hearts} and the river a {k-Diamonds}, giving Grande a straight to bust his short-stacked foe.

At another table, Mike Watson lost the last of his chips. George Wolff was the man stacking them.
