Capitan Can't Find a Hold

Level 4 : 200/500, 0 ante

Bogdan Capitan got it in good once for most of his chips and lost. He just did so again for the rest and got run down once again. This time, he defended his big blind from a David Dayan under-the-gun open and the two saw {4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} flop. Dayan bet 3,000 and Capitan shoved for his remaining 13,100. Dayan called.

Dayan: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Capitan: {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

Capitan had flopped the low straight, and the {8-Diamonds} kept him in front, but the {9-Spades} river doomed him.

Greenwood Pays Karakitukov Before Break

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante

Veselin Karakitukov opened for 1,400 in the cutoff, and Luc Greenwood three-bet it to 4,800 on the button. The blinds folded, and Karakitukov called to see a {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop. He check-called 3,000 from the Canadian. The {k-Hearts} got checked through, and the river was a {7-Clubs}. Karakitukov bet 11,800 and Greenwood quickly called.

Karakitukov showed {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for nines full.

Players are on break for 15 minutes.

Two Out, One In

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante

Greenwood Doubles Through Capitan

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante

From the big blind, Sam Greenwood bet 7,000 in what looked to be a three-bet pot with Bogdan Capitan on a {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop. Capitan counted down his stack then put in 21,200. Greenwood announced all in immediately and Capitan called just as quickly.

Capitan: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Greenwood: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Greenwood was way behind, but a {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} runout gave him a backdoor flush. He had 50,300 and collected a full double from Capitan.

At the same table, Jean-Noel Thorel used his allotted reentry and took a seat.

Thorel First to Go

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel
Jean-Noel Thorel

Jean-Noel Thorel limped in from the cutoff and called a raise from Bogdan Capitan, who had the button. The flop came {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Thorel check-called 1,600. He checked the {j-Diamonds} and Capitan put in 3,000. Thorel moved all in for 5,800, and Capitan quickly called.

Capitan: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Thorel: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Thorel was in bad shape as only an offsuit king would send him the pot, but the river was a {2-Hearts}.

Ramos and Dayan Join; Bensadoun Doubles

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante
Felipe Ramos
Felipe Ramos

PokerStars Team Pro Felipe Ramos and David Dayan are the two latest entries, forcing a move to three tables.

Meanwhile, we got onto the floor just in time to see [Removed:119] collect a double after showing down {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs} on a board of {10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, good for top boat. It appeared Denes Kalo was his unfortunate opponent.
