Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Sofia Lovgren raised to 2,600 from the under-the-gun position and her left-hand neighbor called. The player on the small blind moved all in when the action folded to him and the total amount was 15,900. Lovgren called, as did the player next to her.

They checked it down on the flop, turn, and the river.

The at-risk player showed and let out a little cheer as he saw he was good against the of Lovgren and the of the third player.

Mohammed Nuwwarah

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We found Stefan Schillhabel with a raise to 17,000 in front of him in the small blind, facing a shove from Ana Marquez in middle position for about 75,000. Schillhabel mucked and accepted a fresh beer from the wait staff.

At a nearby table, Farid Jattin appears to be nearing 400,000 and looks likely to be the chip leader in Pavilion at this point.

Jan Kores

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

In what looked like a three-bet pot preflop, Jiri Horak and his left-hand opponent tangled in a battle of middle positions.

They saw the flop and Horak check-called 8,500. Then he checked the turn and his opponent shoved for 31,500 or so. Horak threw his cards away.

"You always come and I lose," Horak said to us with a laugh.

Aaron McBride

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The board was down , and Will Kassouf was on the button with a 19,500 bet in front of him.

"If you call with ace high, you deserve it. You'll be my hero," Kassouf said to his thinking opponent.

"There's no shame in folding," the Brit added.

Kassouf repeated what he previously said as a minute passed with his opponent still mulling over his decision before the clock was called by another player.

Twenty-five seconds passed, and the tournament director counted down from five to zero. Kassouf's opponent didn't act, and his hand was declared dead.

"Shall I show nine high like a boss?" Kassouf questioned before he tabled the and swooped the pot.

Scary Moment for Saderne

Adam Lamers

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

There is one section of the Brasilia room that seems to be uncomfortably hot and some players have started to complain about it. Fittingly so, as a scary moment just occurred for Jeremy Saderne from France.

Saderne stood up from his table to stretch in the middle of a hand, and as he did, he got a light-headed and fainted, falling into the table. Chips scattered everywhere and players rushed to his side as he woke up. Security and medical staff were called to the table but Saderne ensured them that he would be OK. The Frenchman was not pulled away from his seat and will continue playing under further examination.
