Antoine Abou Khalil Annihilates Ace King
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
A third player had 15,000 in the middle already, but decided against calling after some tanking. In the meantime, Antoine Abou Khalil and his right hand neighbor both had all of their chips in the middle.
Time for a showdown, and Abou Khalil turned out to be well ahead. His 
was up against 
and didn't get into too much trouble: 
. Besides his opponent gaining some additional outs on the turn, nothing all too exciting for Abou Khalil, and he expanded his stack to just under 120,000.

Trickett Gets Traction
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
We just counted Sam Trickett's stack, but the next round he already had significantly more. Our colleague told us Trickett had eliminated a player.
Someone committed his last 30,000 (19 big blinds) with pocket sevens. Just as easy as yesterday, where he called a comparable shove with aces, Trickett had an easy call. This time Trickett had queens, and the sevens were nowhere to be seen.

Hakim Loses a Bunch
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
On a 
-flop, two players checked to Jeffrey Hakim on the button. The Lebanese player bet out 13,000 from the button, and just a player in mid-position made the call, the other player folded.
The 
fell on the turn, and action checked once more to Hakim. Hakim bet out a hefty 23,500, and his opponent immediately shoved all in. Hakim thought about it for just about ten seconds, and laid it down.

Nitsche Not Nitting
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Well, we're not sure what he opened with, but he just fired three bullets, and that's something the railbirds want to see.
Dominik Nitsche opened under the gun to 2,700, and just the big blind made the call.
- check (big blind) - bet 3,500 (Nitsche) - call (big blind)
- check (big blind) - bet 7,000 (Nitsche) - call (big blind)
- check (big blind) - bet 8,500 (Nitsche) - fold (big blind)
