Koon Busts Buldygin

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Viacheslav Buldygin
Viacheslav Buldygin

Jun Wah Yap had reentered and raised to 6,000 from the hijack. Jason Koon three-bet to 30,000 from the small blind for Viacheslav Buldygin to four-bet shove for around 45,000. Yap folded immediately and Koon called announcing he had the queens.

Viacheslav Buldygin: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Jason Koon: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} for nothing to change as Koon stayed ahead with the higher pocket pair for two pair and the elimination of Buldygin to his name.

Heath Takes from Petrangelo; Lo Setting the Pace

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 6,500 and Kai Bong Lo called from the cutoff in the next seat over. Ben Heath came along from the small blind and the big blind got out of the way.

The flop was {7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Heath checked. Petrangelo bet 60,000 and Lo folded while Heath tossed in chips to see a turn.

The turn was {7-Hearts} and both players checked to see {6-Clubs} on the turn. Both players checked again and turned over their cards.

Heath showed {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for nines and sevens and Petrangelo tossed the losing hand in the muck.

Despite not winning the pot, Lo has been on a run in the last couple of levels and he now sits at the top of the leaderboard with 629,500.

Badziakouski Busts Gostisa

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Rok Gostisa was seen getting up from his chair and packing his stuff up with the board reading {4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} still open for Mikita Badziakouski.

This vaulted Badziakouski towards the top of the counts with only Jason Koon ahead of him.

Vogelsang Shot Down by Katz

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Cary Katz
Cary Katz

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 5,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Cary Katz on the button. Katz looked over to Vogelsang to check out his stack and tried to estimate how much he had behind. Katz then decided to three-bet to 30,000. The blinds quickly folded and Vogelsang contemplated his options.

"Ace-king has me beat..." he commented in the end before opting to four-bet jam for around 70,000. Katz snap-called.

Christoph Vogelsang: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Cary Katz: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for Katz to flop top pair and improve to trips on the turn to leave Vogelsang drawing dead.

Mikita Bets, Davies Shoves

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 20,000 in the pot and a full board of {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, Mikita Badziakouski bet 22,000 from early position and Seth Davies shoved his last 95,000 into the middle.

Badziakouski thought it over for a moment, but it was too much for him, and he tossed his hand in the muck to give Davies the pot.
