Level 7 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

Action fell on Sam "SamSquid" Grafton in the cutoff where he min-raised to 40,000 and Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot elected to three-bet shove 382,832 in the small blind. Grafton snap-called and the two PokerStars Ambassadors flipped over their hands.

Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Sam "SamSquid" Grafton: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The johnnies of Grafton looked prime for the picking and they remained in the lead when an {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop landed. The {q-Hearts} turn cutdown some outs for Talbot who needed a river to stay alive. An {a-Diamonds} completed the board and Grafton held on for the pot, dropping his fellow Ambassador from the field.

Level 7 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

"$ubuta1" opened from the button to 40,000 and Joao "INeedMassari" Simao defended their big blind to see a {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop. Action checked to "$ubuta1" who continued for 34,875 and Simao quickly check-raised to 86,000.

"$ubuta1" tank-called and Simao turned over air when his {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} hit the table. "$ubuta1" then showed {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for just a pair of eights but it was more than enough to top the ace-high of Simao who was eliminated.

"CheckPlz01" raised to 30,800 from middle position, "BetForNympho" called on the button and Diego "El Pulgoso" Ostrovich stuck around in the small blind. Aliaksei "ale6ka" Boika saw all that dead money and elected to make it 154,000. Action folded back to Ostrovich who shoved their 323,056 into the middle and Boika called.

Diego "El Pulgoso" Ostrovich: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Aliaksei "ale6ka" Boika: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

An uneventful {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} board landed on the virtual felt and the hockey sticks of Ostrovich held on for the pot, doubling through one of the leaders.

Level 5 : 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

"aramesko" opened to 24,000 from under the gun and Aliaksei "ale6ka" Boika instantly bumped it up to 60,000 directly on the left of "aramesko", who called to see the {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop. Action checked to Boika, he bet 69,145 and "aramesko" check-shoved 286,087. Boika called and the two tabled their hands.

"aramesko": {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Aliaksei "ale6ka" Boika: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

A set of nines was leading the way and Boika needed some love. A {3-Spades} turn left Boika with one last chance for romance and a match was found when the {10-Hearts} river landed, giving him a straight to take down the pot and "aramesko" was sent to the rail.

Level 4 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

"Cbotacin" raised to 24,000, Dominykas "Mikensonas" Mikolaitis called in the hijack and "klem90" three-bet to 90,000 from the button. Action folded to Mikolaitis who four-bet jammed 726,765 and "klem90" snap-called for their 480,018 in chips.

"klem90": {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Dominykas "Mikensonas" Mikolaitis: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Level 4 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

The field has now dropped almost half of the runners as level 4 begins and an unlikely seating arrangement has two PokerStars Ambassadors at the same table.

Sam "SamSquid" Grafton is sitting on a 395,228 stack and just two on his left is Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot with 559,438. If you are looking for action, definitely take a peek at table 82.

Talbot Takes a Hit

MartianNews
Level 3 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

"serrazina11" was sitting in the big blind when they were automatically all-in for 3,201. Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot opened to 16,000 in middle position and "polloymedio" made 45,840 with a three-bet in the hijack.

A {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop landed after the Canadian stuck in a call and he then check-called a bet of 47,364. The {4-Hearts} had Talbot check-call a bet of 124,000 from "polloymedio" and a {6-Hearts} completed the board.

Both players checked, Talbot showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for top pair and it was not enough as "polloymedio" had {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}, giving them an overpair of bullets to scoop the side-pot. "serrazina11" mucked and "polloymedio" pulled in the main as well.
