Wald, Sidark & Malmi Representing the Ladies

Level 15 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Amanda Sidark
Amanda Sidark

Two women remain in the Main Event with about 100 players remaining, and both are from Sweden in Amanda Sidark and Ninni Malmi.

Neither of them is sitting on huge stacks, but they can certainly still spin them up as we've witness many players do today.

Meanwhile, Carina Wald is in much better shape as she is on about 250,000 in chips.

Full House for Haapsal

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action is going slow on most tables with the action six away from the money bubble.

PokerNews caught up with the hand with around 100,000 in the pot when Aare Haapsal had his remaining stack of 157,000 committed against Thomas DeRooij after the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{a-Spades} came on the flop.

Aare Haapsal: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Thomas DeRooij: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}

DeRooij had Broadway and was still ahead after the blank {6-Diamonds} turn. However, the {k-Diamonds} river paired the board to improve Haapsal to a full house to double his stack instead of hitting the rail near the money bubble.

Lucky Sevens for Halasi

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Andras Halasi jammed from middle position for 70,000 and was looked up by Oleksandr Lizanets called the all-in.

Andras Halasi: {7-}{7-}
Oleksandr Lizanets: {10-}{10-}

Halasi was behind but poker gods had something else in mind other than for him to hit the rail after he improved to a set on the {8-}{7-}{5-}{a-}{q-} runout.

Main Event Structure Update

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

PokerNews has been informed that the Main Event might be played out to the winner tomorrow depending on how many players are remaining at the end of the day instead of playing down to a final table.

The tournament staff will make that decision at the end of Day 2.
