Sulsky Picks One Up

Level 3 : 50/100, 15 ante

After losing a blind battle against Doug "WCG|Rider" Polk, Ben "Sauce123" Sulsky was down a little, but he climbed back up to the starting stack of 30,000 when he won a hand against Mikael "ChaoRen160" Thuritz.

Sulsky faced a 300 raise from Thuritz and decided to reraise to 949 from the button. The Swede under the gun elected to call and check-called a 590 continuation bet on the {7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Spades} flop.

He checked again on the {6-Clubs}-turn and then folded after Sulsky bet 2,466.

Thuritz is still leading with over 35,000 chips.

Situation after Two Levels

Level 3 : 50/100, 15 ante

The seven players just completed the second 20-minute level of play and Mikael "ChaoRen160" Thuritz is leading the pack with over 37,000 in chips.

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi is the shortstack at the table, but his 20,000 points are still good for 200 big blinds in the next level.

Shakerchi Takes a Couple of Hits

Level 1 : 30/60, 5 ante

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi finds himself at the bottom of the leaderboard after fifteen minutes of play. He lost two sizeables pots that diminished his starting stack of 30,000 chips to 22,000.

He first lost two hands against Doug "WCG|Rider" Polk, before he clashed with Mikael "ChaoRen160" Thuritz.

Shakerchi opened from the button with a raise to 128, before Thuritz put in a three bet to 600 from the big blind. The Englishman called and they saw a {6-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop. Shakerchi check-called a 665 bet and did the same when Thuritz fired 1,710 on the {7-Diamonds} turn.

Shakerchi called a third time when Thuritz bet 1,890 when the {3-Diamonds} fell on the river, but he mucked after been shown the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} from Thuritz. Which sent the Swede to the chiplead.
