Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nic Ioannoy took a flip on the feature table with Q♣10♠ against the 8♥8♣ of Rajeev Poonhath. Not one but two queens appeared and Ioannoy doubled with trips. He then used the new found chips to shove a 9♠5♠5♦ flop, forcing out Henk Wiese.

On the outer tables, Francis Vanderlinden had limped and then folded to a shove by Mario Savvas. Joe Rahme had folded and flashed ace-jack to Savvas, while Vanderlinden mentioned he had let go of ace-ten. Savvas also revealed what he had, as he exposed the Q♣Q♠.

In a three-bet pot with 12,500 each invested to the A♣8♦3♣ flop, NT ended up folding after he had mentioned to have just lost a big portion of his stack.

Giovanni Zanette, however, check-called a bet worth 15,000 by Imran Bhojani and they checked the 4♦ turn. Zanette checked again the 10♣ river and eventually paid off the 21,000 bet of Bhojani, but mucked versus A♠9♠ for top pair.

On a heads-up flop of Q♦5♠3♦, Stephen Courtney check-raised from 6,000 to 16,000. His sole remaining opponent opted to fold and Courtney raked in the pot.

One table over, a four-way pot brought a pot of 18,000 to the K♣J♣8♦ flop. NT check-shoved for 31,200 and Anders Hellstrom called after he had bet 9,000.

NT: A♣10♣ All in
Anders Hellstrom: J♠8♠

Hellstrom's bottom two pair were ahead and remained there with the 7♦ turn. However, one of the many outs of NT came with the 3♣ river and he scored the double.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On the tail end of the Q♠3♦2♣2♦Q♦ board, new arrival NT checked and Imran Bhojani then grinned "how much are you gonna call?" NT grabbed 2,000 chips and Bhojani made it 6,000 to go thereafter, which was still called.

"Flush," NT declared and smacked his A♦8♦ on the table to win the pot, Bhojani mucked.

Soon after, Anders Hellstrom had raised to earn calls from Hennie Appel and NT. The 10♣10♠2♠ flop saw NT check-call a bet of 5,000 by Hellstrom and he led the K♥ turn for 10,000, Hellstrom called. NT bet another 15,000 on the 2♦ river and Hellstrom called.

NT tapped the table in defeat and never showed his cards. Hellstrom showed his K♠Q♠ before collecting the pot. "I knew you missed the flush," NT gritted.
