The Bubble is Near

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Neuville Knocks Ruge Out

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Arne Ruge was all in holding {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and was facing Pierre Neuville with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. A {q-} fell on the flop but the rest of the board brought no more help to Ruge who made his way to the exit as the players are approaching the bubble.

Neuville, who started the day with 91,000 chips, now has a stack around 185,000.

Still Hand for Hand

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

After two hands the tournament is only four minutes deeper into Level 14, but the players have been taking their time and there were a couple of big pots.

In the last hand, there was a chop pot which resulted in no elimination, so play continued hand for hand.

Kevin Song

The flop was showing {5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} and there was already more than 100,000 in the middle. After a check from his opponent, Kevin Song fired a bet for 55,000, putting his opponent into a big decision.

After a few minutes of thinking, the latter ended up calling, but tossed his hand into the muck when Song tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. Song now has a huge stack worth 330,000.

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Luciano Hollanda
Luciano Hollanda

Gerald Lee and Luciano Hollanda had their chips in the middle, but had to wait for several minutes before they were allowed to turn their hands on their backs. There were no other all-ins and all the hands on the other tables were done when Lee saw he had to win a coin flip.

Gerald Lee: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Luciano Hollanda: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The dealer dealt an {8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds} board and Lee was eliminated in 154th place, just one spot away from the money.

All the players that are still in are guaranteed $4,513.
