The tournament has reached the part of the day where the the 25 value chips will be colored up. This will happen during this break, which is also the last one of the day.

Konnikova Fills Up on the River

Level 8 : 300/600, 100 ante

Maria Konnikova opened from the hijack and Eric Blair defended his big blind. The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Blair check-called a bet of 1,500 from Konnikova.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts} and Blair checked to Konnikova again. Konnikova fired another 4,500 only to have Blair check-raise all in. Konnikova instantly called to put her tournament life on the line for her last 19,450 chips. Blair tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a straight while Konnikova showed {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a set of kings.

The river brought the {7-Clubs} and Konnikova made a full house to score a full double up, while Blair fell back to a starting stack.

Schumacher Racing Ahead

Level 8 : 300/600, 100 ante

After dropping from starting stack, Terry Schumacher has quintupled his chips in the last couple of hours.

This is in spite of losing a small pot just now, where he opened on the button. Both the blinds called and the dealer put out {2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The blinds checked and Schumacher continued for 1,500. One player called and one player folded, taking them heads up to the turn.

It was an {a-Hearts} and this time the action went check-check. Finally, the {8-Spades} came on the river. Again both players checked and Schumacher folded when he saw he was against {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of eights.

Boeree Continues to Chip Up

Level 8 : 300/600, 100 ante
Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

Liv Boeree found herself another good spot to gather some chips and continue to build a stack. There was a raise to 1,300 from under the gun and the hijack three-bet to 4,200. Boeree was on the button and put in another four-bet to 10,000. The initial raiser folded but the hijack called.

The flop came {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and the hijack check-called a bet of 5,000 from Boeree. The turn brought the {k-Spades} and the hijack checked again. Boeree moved all in for around 24,000 and her opponent quickly slid his cards to the muck.

Kozlov Puts Schindler in the Think Tank

Level 8 : 300/600, 100 ante

There was around 20,000 in the middle already and the board read {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Martin Kozlov led out for 11,000 from the big blind and Jake Schindler made the call in position.

The river brought the {5-Clubs} and Kozlov jammed all in for 30,625. Schindler asked for a count and then went deep into the tank. He thought for several minutes, playing with his chips and trying to come to a decision.

Schindler eventually splashed in the chips to call and Kozlov rolled over {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for just a pair of fives. Schindler tabled {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} to scoop the pot and move over the 100,000 chip mark.
