A player in late position raised it up to 4,000, and Pratyush Buddiga three-bet to 10,700 from the button. The late position player made the call and both players were allowed to see the flop.
The board came 
and the late position player checked to Buddiga. Buddiga took this opportunity to bet out 12,200. Buddiga's opponent countered by throwing out a bet of 20,000. The late position player needed to raise it to 24,400 though and did just that. Buddiga's response was to move all in, and the late position player snap called.
Buddiga: 
Opponent: 
Buddiga was going to need a nine if he wanted to survive. He didn't receive a nine on the turn, but he did receive a good card. The 
on the turn allowed for a king to be a potential out going to the river. The 
on the river though brought everything crashing down, and Buddiga was crippled.
We have just seen Gionni Demers and Brad Libson win some chips and Alex Kravchenko lose some.
In the first hand we saw Demers all-in holding 
against the 
of a short stack. The board ran out 
and Demers was up to 130,000.
Then we saw the after effects of a pre flop argument between Brad Libson and Alex Kravchenko. Libson was holding 
and Kravchenko had 
. The board ran out 
and Libson had doubled up. Kravchenko, who started the day as one of the chip leaders, now has 50,000.

We are midway through level fourteen and we have squeezed the field down to one hundred and twenty four players. One of the casualties of poker warfare has been Owen Crowe. Crowe has come so close to earning himself a gold bracelet, on several occasions, but today is not his day.
We didn't see his exit but the table have told us that the action folded around to Crowe in the cutoff, and he moved all-in for around 16BB holding 
suited and Brett Shaffer called holding pocket tens.
Shaffer, who also has WSOP final table experience, then went from being up to being down when he ran pocket nines into pocket queens, and his opponent hit quads to reduce Shaffer to around 20,000.
Allan Mishra started the action off in a recent hand by moving all in. A player in middle position then moved all in, and the big blind did the same. Everyone else folded and cards were exposed.
Mishra: 
Middle Position: 
Big Blind: 
The flop came 
giving Mishra hope that a three could save him. The on the turn was enough and Mishra shot out of his chair in excitement. The 
on the river put an end to things. Mishra had the big blind covered, and possessed 600 less chips than the middle position player, so he was still clinging to life.
John Eames is a UK Pro with close to $1.5 million in tournament earnings. His impressive results include a 3rd place finish at the European Poker Tour (EPT) in Copenhagen in 2011 for $257,011 and two World Series of Poker (WSOP) final tables that include Event #5: $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em where he finished in 8th place for $18,529 just a few short weeks ago.
Earlier we brought you news that Eames had fallen to just 5,000 before spinning it up to 50,000. That was when he was plying his trade in the Tan Section over at Table #354. That table has just broke and Eames was shifted to the nearby Table #353 and this happened in his very first hand.
Joseph Kuether raised to 4,000 from under the gun and Eames three-bet from position. A few folds later and Kuether announced he was all-in and Eames called instantly.
| Eames | |
| Kuether | |
The board ran out 
and the total count of Eames stack was 78,700. A setback for Kuether, but great news for Eames.
Joseph Kuether now has ten World Series of Poker (WSOP) cashes after getting through the money bubble in the early hours of this morning, half of which have come during this year. So the man is on form and his 180,000 stack is testament to that fact. Here is Kuether winning another pot.
Kuether made a standard raise from the cutoff and the big blind defended before leading on all three streets on a board of 
. The betting amounts were 6,000, 7,000 and approx. 15,000. The bets were rapid as were the calls by Kuether. The big blind turned over for two pair (queens and jacks) and Kuether turned over for a higher two pair (aces and jacks). The big blind was eliminated not soon after.
