Jonathan Therme was all-in and at risk in a heads-up pot against Olivier Rebello, who had just sat down at the table.

Jonathan Therme: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Olivier Rebello: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Therme was at risk and pipped and was eliminated when the board ran out {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades} to give his opponent a set of kings.

"Welcome to the table," said one of Therme's table mates.

Sam Grafton opened on the button and Bertrand Grospellier three-bet shoved a stack of 90,000 from the small blind. Grafton called with his opponent covered.

Bertrand Grospellier: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Sam Grafton: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Grospellier was ahead preflop but the flop of {6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} put Grafton in front with a pair of nines. Grospellier didn't get any help from the runout of {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and was sent to the rail.

Grafton Takes Pot Off Berkey, Gets Bird

Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Sam Grafton was out of position in a heads-up pot against Matt Berkey. Grafton checked on the flop of {4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and called when Berkey bet 25,000.

The {3-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn and Grafton took the betting lead from his opponent by leading out for 15,000. Berkey gave Grafton the middle finger with one hand and tossed his hand in the muck with the other.

"That offends my European sensibilities," reacted Grafton.

Montagnolli Eliminated by Kolev

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Daniel Montagnolli faced a shove from Boris Kolev on a board reading {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades} and eventually called as the player at risk.

Kolev turned over the {6-Diamonds} and it appeared he might have been bluffing. But then Kolev flipped over the {k-Diamonds} for top pair and was good against the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} of Montagnolli.

"Aye-ah," Montagnolli said upon seeing the king in his opponent's hand.

Brinkenhoff Hits Running Cards to Crack Kings

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Eelis Parssinen opened to 26,000 from middle position and Michael Brinkenhoff jammed in his 97,000 stack into the middle. Parssinen called and said, "I have a really good hand."

Michael Brinkenhoff: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Eelis Parssinen: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Parssinen did indeed have a really good hand, and he had a dominating lead over Brinkenhoff. The flop was {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and the {j-Diamonds} turn gave some straight outs to Brinkenhoff. The {9-Spades} spiked the river to complete that and put a beat on Parssinen's kings.
