Peters Eliminated by Riess

Level 10 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
David Peters on Day 1
David Peters on Day 1

With the board reading {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and a hefty sum in the middle, David Peters (early position) was in the tank facing a decision for his remaining 400,000-ish against Ryan Riess, who had set him all in from the cutoff.

After a little while, Peters called all in.

Riess tabled {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for nines full of threes, Peters showed a defeated {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Riess scored the elimination.

Eiler Welcomes Schwippert to His Table

Level 10 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

One table already broke in the Amazon room and Jan-Eric Schwippert was moved to the right of Andreas Eiler. Schwippert opened to 35,000 from middle position and Eiler greeted him with a three-bet to 125,000. The action folded back to Schwippert who made the call and the two players went heads-up to the flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

Schwippert checked to Eiler who continued for another 125,000 and Schwipper thought for a moment before calling. The {q-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Schwippert checked again. Eiler announced a bet of 225,000 and Schwippert instantly pushed his cards to the middle face down.

Jason Mercier raised to 34,000 and Manig Loeser called. Mikita Badziakouski also called in the big blind. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Badziakouski checked and Mercier continued for 46,000. Loeser called and Badziakouski folded. The turn was the {2-Clubs}.

Mercier bet 108,000 and again Loeser called.

The river was the {2-Hearts}. Mercier checked and Loeser bet 575,000. Mercier folded. "That would have been a sick bluff," he said to Loeser, who sits on over one million chips.

Mercier Calls Down Badziakouski

Level 10 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jason Mercier

Jason Mercier check-called a bet of 25,000 from opponent Mikita Badziakouski on a {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Mercier check-called another bet, this time for 100,000.

The river was the {j-Spades}. Mercier checked for a third time and Badziakouski used up one time bank before betting 225,000. Mercier counted out the chips and then agonized over the decision, using up a time bank, before calling.

Badziakouski muttered something in Mercier's direction, flipping up {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a missed flush draw. Mercier showed {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a pair of sixes and took down the pot.

With around 300,000 in the middle preflop, the dealer fanned the flop of {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Adrian Mateos led out for 160,000 from the small blind and Tomer Daniel tank-called from middle position.

The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and Mateos announced all in for 470,000. Daniel didn't take very long before making his decision this time and tossed his cards to the muck. The pot was sent towards Mateos as he chipped up to over one million chips in the first few hands.

Steven Doubles Up Early

Level 10 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Brandon Steven shipped all in for 227,000 from middle position and Igor Kurganov quickly called from the big blind.

"Good luck," Kurganov said as he tabled {a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

"It's a fair fight," Steven replied and showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Steven took a stranglehold on the pot with trip kings. The {4-Clubs} on the turn meant Kurganov was drawing dead to the {10-Spades} on the river.
