Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
After the 
turn, Antti Halme bet 5,000 and Van Sang Nguyen called to see the 
appear on the river. Halme now made it 15,000 to go and Nguyen took some consideration before tossing in the chips.
Only a moment later, the three T-5,000 chips vanished as the pot was pushed to Halme, who showed 
for the nut flush.
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
The seat that formerly belonged to Timofey Asmolov was filled by Aki Virtanen and the Finn took over the aggression playing style. Without showdown, the Finn bumped up his stack and the recent hand saw him take chips off Peter Plater.
The Brit bet the 
turn for 5,000 and Virtanen's raise to 14,000 claimed the pot right there.
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Timofey Asmolov raised to 2,200 and picked up three callers including Simon Burns and Ken Okada in the cutoff. The flop fell 
and Asmolov continued for 7,700, which both of his opponents called.
The 
turn paired the board and Asmolov moved all in. Burns asked for a count, and the all in of Asmolov was for 41,150, which Burns called with another 20,000 behind. Okada was taken aback for a bit, but sent his cards into the muck.
Timofey Asmolov:
Simon Burns: 
The 
river was a blank and Asmolov left the table with a "thank you, good luck guys."

: Blinds 400/800, 100 ante
The number of entrants has grown to 28 though the number of players still in the running has shrunk to 22.
While three Nguyen’s began the day’s play there are just two remaining in contention now with the elimination of Bach Hoang Nguyen.
Two of the new arrivals are former PokerStars Asia Player of the Year Alan Lau and Israel’s Tom Orpaz.
Lau came straight in on the big blind with Russia’s Konstantin Pogodin limping the button and small blind Monsour Matloubi making the call to take play three-way to a flop of 
.
There was no betting until the river with the turn and 
river completing the hand. Matloubi took a stab for 2,000 on the river and that was enough to get it done.
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Timofey Asmolov was the second player besides Peter Plater to win his seat in the satellite earlier today and has had a roller coaster day thus far. Asmolov was involved in plenty of hands as of lately and his sheer aggression just scooped the last pot.
Asmolov's raise was met with a three-bet to 4,500 by Yo Seb Rhee, and Asmolov four-bet to 11,900 in order to pick up a call. On the 
flop, Asmolov immediately moved all in and Rhee folded when the clock ran down to zero.
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Mansour Matloubi raised to 2,000 and called the shove of short stack Maxim Sorokin for another 8,000 on top.
Maxim Sorokin: 
Mansour Matloubi: 
The board ran out 
and Matloubi flopped top pair before turning trips in order to eliminate Sorokin.
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Jun Obara opened the action with raise to 2,000 from the cutoff, with Wai Kiat Lee making the call from the big blind. The hand was over nearly as soon as it started with Lee checking the 
over to Obara, who took it down with a continuation bet.
The next hand it was Xiaoling Li driving the action with a middle position raise to 2,000 with Simon Hermann (button) and Lee (small blind) making the call to take the action three-way to an all black 
flop.
It was all check on the flop and after Lee checked for a second time on the 
turn Li led for 3,500 with Hermann the only caller.
The river saw Li reach for chips once more and she led for a slightly larger 8,500 bet. Hermann looked tempted and the clock ticked down to zero before he eventually decided to fold.
Li flashed the table the and claimed she flopped the flush as she raked in a decent sized pot.
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
While Junzhong Loo lost the remainder of his short stack over on table two, a far bigger pot was brewing on table one.
Konstantin Pogodin raised and picked up a call by Yo Seb Rhee in the cutoff before Peter Plater three-bet to 4,500 in the small blind. Both Pogodin and Rhee called and the flop fell 
. Plater continued for 5,200 and Pogodin called before Rhee raised it up to 17,000. Only Plater called that raise and the 
came on the turn.
Plater bet 17,000 and Rhee moved all in, which Plater confirmed with the dealer before calling immediately.
Peter Plater:
Yo Seb Rhee: 
Plater only needed to avoid the case five and he did so thanks to the 
river, scoring a massive double up for 43,275 and taking over the lead.
