A Few More Chip Counts

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Use the Force ... Guillaume

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Guillaume Fourcade has the most powerful of protection for his cards and chips. In front of him are three figurines: R2-D2, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader.

The player in the hijack seat raised to 1,200 preflop and Fourcade three-bet to 3,100 and we went to the flop heads up. The dealer turned over {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} and the initial raiser led out for 4,300. Fourcade raised to 9,100, putting on the pressure again. This time it was too much, and his opponent folded, awarding him the pot. The force is strong in this one.

Diep Stacking Chips

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

A short-stacked player in early position moved all in preflop and Ha Diep made the call in the big blind.

Diep: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Diep's pair of aces held.

Across the room, Mario Ho and Andy Frankenberger have been eliminated.

Idema Hangs On

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Two-time bracelet winner Dan Idema pushed his short stack all in from under the gun. He managed to get folds all the way around the table and picked up the blinds and antes, but he's still sitting very short in this tournament and will need to double up soon.

Kuo Busts One

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Kitty Kuo was raking in a pile chips with {A-}{A-} sitting in front of her while an opponent was getting up from the table with {10-}{10-} sitting in front of where his modest stack had just been standing. The aces had held and Kuo scored a knockout.

Updated Counts From Around the Room

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Glazier Steadily Climbs

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

With the turn just dealt, the board read {10-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs} with play two-handed. Jackie Glazier sat in thought as she eyed up the bet of 2,100 from her opponent. She slid out three yellows, a raise to 5,000, and won the pot.
