Watson Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 16 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

Mike "SirWatts" Watson made it 55,000 to go on the button and was called by Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi in the big blind.

Shakerchi check-called a first bet of 37,125 on the {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop and opted for another check-call worth 175,000 on the {8-Spades} turn.

Once the {10-Spades} river hit the board, Shakerchi checked once more. Watson bet 575,000 with just 17,781 behind and that shut down the resistance of Shakerchi.

Last Pot to Martirosian; Break With 16 Remaining

Level 16 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian raised it to 55,000 and was called by David "dpeters17" Peters in the big blind. On a flop of {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, Peters check-called a bet of 49,005 and they checked the {4-Hearts} on the turn.

Peters reluctantly called a bet of 246,500 on the {8-Clubs} river and mucked when Martirosian tabled {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for aces and fives.

Right after that, the remaining 16 players headed into a scheduled five-minute break.

Kanit Felted by Martirosian

Level 17 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

Down to the last 201,618, Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit moved all in from early position and it was only fitting that big chip leader Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian isolated by moving all in from the button.

Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian: {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Kanit was ahead but Martirosian finished off the job he had started on a board of {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades} to claim the bounty of the Italian.

Nemeth and Schemion Chip Up

Level 17 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

Dmitry "yurasov1990" Yurasov raised to 60,000 from under the gun and was called by Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos, Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin in the small blind and Andras "probirs" Nemeth in the big blind.

The {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop was checked all the way and Nemeth bet the {8-Clubs} turn for 202,500, which only Yurasov called. Nemeth also bet the {4-Diamonds} river for 168,750 and revealed the {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} when Yurasov called and mucked.

One hand later, Ole "wizowizo" Schemion won a pot of 63,800 against Rodrigo "seijistar" Seiji when his {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} beat the {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} of the Brazilian. In a three-bet pot, Seiji check-called one bet on the {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop and they checked down the {6-Clubs} turn and {a-Clubs} river.

Botteon Gets Short

Level 17 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

"Kurthaare" three-bet a raise from 60,000 to 225,000 and initial raiser Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon stuck around to call a bet of 156,938 on the {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. They checked the {4-Clubs} turn and {k-Clubs} river as "Kurtkaare" tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for kings full.

David "dpeters17" Peters then lost a few precious blinds with {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} to the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} of Ludovic "ludovi333" Geilich when both flopped second pair.
