Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a battle small blind versus button, a pot of nearly 250,000 emerged on a board of 7♦6♦6♣9♣A♠.

Elai Mazor had fired three barrels on the button and Gareth Kalil was the one check-calling twice before he went deep into the tank. The final bet of Mazor was for 165,000 and Kalil used three time banks before calling.

Mazor flashed pocket eights but Kalil won the pot with 9♦4♦ for a missed flush draw on the flop that made superior two pair on the turn.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joe Rahme has been eliminated on table 13, which happened to be the former live stream table. He was the shortest stack heading into the day and doubled once to stay afloat but it was not meant to be.

Nick Sissou raised from under the gun for Rahme to flat-call on the button. The flop came Q♦4♣3♣ and Sissou check-jammed for Rahme to call-in with the K♣Q♠. Hissou's Q♣Q♥ were miles ahead and a blank turn left Rahme drawing dead.

In hand three of hand-for-hand mode, Keegan Pillay three-bet jammed for 127,000 against Darryl Shaff and received no call.

Two hands later, two bigger stacks tangled when Roy Bitton fired a bet of 105,000 on the K♦4♦3♣4♥6♦ river. Benjamin Lingenfelder tank-called and his 8♦8♠ was good versus A♦Q♥.

One table over, Okkie Fourie opened to 12,000 and folded when Gary Citron jammed for 60,000.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kushil Shah jammed a short stack on the button to get called by both players in the blinds, Moon Khan and Kinesh Pather.

The two active players checked the entire board of A♠4♦3♦6♦4♥.

Shah exposed the 7♠7♥, Khan had the 2♥2♠ and the Q♠5♠ of Pather couldn't deal the final blow either - triple up!

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Imran Bhojani raised to 32,000 from an early position and left himself 6,000 chips behind. Gareth Kalil called in the hijack and the rest of the table folded.

On a flop of 9♥5♣4♣, Bhojani check-called all-in and the cards were revealed when all other tables had finished their action.

Imran Bhojani: A♠J♠ All in
Gareth Kalil: K♥K♠

The 10♠ turn was a blank and the K♦ river only improved Kalil to a set of kings in order to let the bubble burst.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In three-way action to the K♦8♠5♦ flop, the action checked to Merwan Corront and he bet 50,000 in the hijack. Brett Toker moved all-in from the small blind and Gareth Kalil reluctantly folded, while Corront pushed forward his near identical stack for the call.

Merwan Corront: A♦Q♦ All in
Brett Toker: A♥K♣

The 10♦ turn instantly gave Corront the nut flush to make the 5♠ river a formality. He doubled for 212,000 and Toker was left with 3,000. One table over, his son Ricky Toker got a shove through and the father was then all-in soon after.

Multi way to the K♥5♣2♠J♦K♣ river, Patrice Ah-Nien min-bet to isolate and his J♠4♣ beat the A♣6♥ of Toker.

David Ng started the day as one of the shorter stacks but he now sits well above the average. In the latest hand, he took on Menesh Keshav, who check-called for 15,000 on the A♣10♥2♥ flop. On the J♣ turn, Keshav checked again and folded when Ng bet 32,000.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In a preflop contest between two shorter stacks, Kade Ollewagen was the player at risk with the A♣K♣. He was well ahead of Ricky Toker, who only had the A♥J♠.

The 9♠8♥4♣ flop and 2♣ turn were no threat for Ollewagen and Toker had just two outs to deal the final blow. One of them was the J♦ and it fell on the river.
