Liu and Benyamine Chop It Up

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

Three ways to the {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, the action checked to David Benyamine who bet small and earned two callers. Wang Liu in the big blind was among them and then check-called another bet worth 13,400 by Benyamine on the {9-Spades} turn.

The {k-Hearts} river was checked and Liu's {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} chopped the pot, as Benyamine had the equally strong {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} for the same aces and fours.

Straight for Kurtzman; Kornuth Pays Off Brewer

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

Eric Kurtzman was in position in a heads-up pot and raised to 22,000 when his opponent bet 11,000 on a board reading {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The opponent called.

Both players checked on the {8-Clubs} river and the opponent tabled a set with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{x-}{x-}, but it was no good against the straight of Kurtzman with {8-Spades}{6-}{4-}{5-}.

A few tables over, Chance Kornuth got to the river in position against Chris Brewer on a board reading {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Kornuth stared his opponent down as he made a decision and then called when Brewer put out a bet of 6,000. Brewer tabled {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a flush and raked in the pot.

Mahmood Eliminated by Zektser

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

On the heads-up turn of {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades}, Igor Zektser in the big blind and Ayaz Mahmood in the cutoff got their chips in with Mahmood at risk.

Ayaz Mahmood: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Igor Zektser: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Zektser was ahead with the bottom set while Mahmood had some outs with two pair and the open-ender. However, the {2-Spades} river was not among them and Mahmood was eliminated. The empty seat was then filled by Eric Kurtzman, who had just re-entered.
