Heath Eliminates a Player

Level 3 : 75/150, 150 ante

Ben Heath had a good start in the event by eliminating a player. All the cards were on their backs when we arrived at the table and Heath was already stacking. The cards in front of him were {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and the board read {4-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

His opponent was already away but the {10-}{9-Spades} were still on the table.

Tach Takes One Down

Level 3 : 75/150, 150 ante

The player in the five-seat raised to 400 and Farukh Tach called from the small blind. The flop came down {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Tach bet out 500 which resulted in his opponent folding their hand and Tach collecting the pot.

Tach's left-hand neighbor is Adrian Mateos and he has already lost over half his stack.

After a player in middle position led with a bet of 550 on the flop of a {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board, Sofia Lovgren raised to 2,000 and her opponent made the call, before checking dark on the turn.

The {5-Spades} landed and Lovgren checked as well. Once again, her opponent checked in the dark before the {4-Spades} hit the river. Lovgren bet 4,000 and her opponent folded.
