Dinner Break

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

With just over 600 players left in the tournament, the remaining players are going on a 75-minute dinner break. When they return the blinds will be 200/400 with a 50 ante, and there will be two levels left for late registration.

While you wait, check out this interview with Valentin Vornicu where he breaks down a hand.

Lodge & Burns Join; Calamusa Chips Up

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante
Pierre Calamusa
Pierre Calamusa

With minutes to go in the level, Pierre Calamusa opened from the button and the small blind called. The pair checked the {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} board and the river was the {7-Hearts}. The small blind checked for the third street in a row, and folded to a bet of 1,000 from Calamusa.

Harry Lodge and Kahle Burns are among the latest entries.

Reard Building a Stack

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

On a board reading {4-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and a pot nearing 10,000 Alexandre Reard moved a large stack of 1,000 chips to put his opponent at risk for his tournament. After a long tank he eventually folded.

A few hands later the button player raised to 1,000 and Reard defended his big blind with {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Both players checked on the {4-}{5-}{8-} rainbow flop.

The {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Reard three-bet to 4,000 after his initial bet of 500 was raised to 1,600. His opponent made the call.

On the {k-} river Reard check-called a shove worth 15,000 to see {a-}{9-} in his opponent's hand.

That last hand took him to the brink of a 50,000 stack.

Madsen Builds His Stack

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

A player in middle position opened to 700 and was called by the button, the small blind and Jeff Madsen in the big blind.

On the {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, only Madsen called the continuation bet of 825 from the player in middle position.

Both players checked throughout the {2-Clubs} turn and {q-Spades}. Madsen tabled {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair, which was enough to win the pot after his opponent showed {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Lybaert Still Leads Approaching Dinner Break

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

Ktorza Doubles Up

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

After the player under the gun had opened to 700, the next player three-bet to 2,700 and Philippe Ktorza snap-shoved for 9,800. The initial raiser called and the other player folded.

Philippe Ktorza: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

The board brought {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Ktorza's hand held up to give him the double up.

Lampropulos Doubles Up

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

Maria Lampropulos was all in for her last 3,100 with {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and was up against the {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} of an opponent.

The flop came {4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades} giving her opponent a pair, but she quickly rectified that with a pair of her own on the {a-Hearts} turn and the {9-Spades} river bricked out to earn her a full double up.
