Kanit Doubles on the Bubble

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Ravi Raghavan opened for 9,000 from late position and then called when Mustapha Kanit three-bet to 22,500 from the big blind. When the flop came down {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, Kanit bet 18,000 and then called off for 75,000 total after Raghavan shoved all in.

Kanit: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Raghavan: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Kanit held the granddaddy of all hands, but he needed to dodge Raghavan's flush draw to avoid becoming the bubble boy. That's just what he did too as the {2-Spades} blanked on the turn followed by the {5-Diamonds} on the river.

Singontiko the Penultimate Elimination Before the Money

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Right after coming back from dinner, David Singontiko was eliminated in 58th place. Ludovic Riehl did the deed, and it happened when he opened with a raise and then called when Singontiko three-bet-jammed his last 14 big blinds.

Singontiko held {a-}{j-}, but it was way behind the {a-}{q-} of Riehl. The nine-high flop failed to help Singontiko, and a {Q-} on the turn actually left him drawing dead as it paired Riehl.

Now that we're down to the final 57 players, all but one of which will get paid, hand-for-hand player will be initiated.

Conley Sends One More Packing

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Just before the end of the level, Justin Conley opened for 7,000 under the gun and then called when his opponent in the cutoff moved all in for 22,000.

Conley: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades} and Conley scored the knockout. That means we'll be two players away from the money when they come back from dinner.

Shuchleis Falls Short of the Dinner Break

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Victor Shuchleis got his last 34,5000 all in preflop but was unfortunate enough to run into Thomas Lutz.

Lutz: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Shuchleis: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Shuchleis didn't get so much as a sweat as the board ran out a bone dry {2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Shuchleis exits in 60th place just shy of the money.

Sweaty Double for Busquet

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Olivier Busquet jammed it in on the button with 30,000 and was called by the big blind.

Busquet: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

On the {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop, Busquet's opponent picked up a flush draw. Busquet added still more cards to fade when the {k-Clubs} turned, meaning another pair on the board would counterfeit him. The river was a brick though: {2-Spades}.

"That's always fun," Busquet deadpanned.
