Bleiker Busts Starek in Battle of Pocket Pairs

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Guillaume Starek raised it up and then called a three-bet to 11,000 by Felix Bleiker in the small blind. On a flop of {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, Bleiker made it 16,900 to go and Starek came along as they headed to the {4-Hearts} turn. Bleiker now splashed in his last three T-25,000 chips and Starek called all-in for just shy of that.

Guillaume Starek: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Felix Bleiker: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The {9-Hearts} river failed to help Starek and he was eliminated prior to the dinner break.

Backpack Trick Leads to Incredible Spin Up

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Julian Sanchez
Julian Sanchez

In the middle of level 8, Julian Sanchez thought he was all-in and eliminated, having put on his backpack and begun walking away from his table.

However, a count revealed he had 2,500 chips left, which would soon be in the middle in the blinds.

According to Sanchez and tablemate Yuri Dzivielevski, Sanchez would survive that all-in and several more, doubling his stack repeatedly, with the encouragement of Dzivielevski to put on the backpack for each all-in.

As word got out of Sanchez's repeated backpack-aided double-ups, offers began coming in from nearby tables who've gotten word of Sanchez's fortunes to buy the backpack for up to $100.

Sanchez has rebuffed these offers, with his latest double-up boosting his stack into more than healthy territory.

In an already meaty pot of over 100,000, on a river board reading {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, Sanchez's opponent, Lauren Carter bet 25,000, and he moved all-in again for 41,000, reaching again for the backpack, but staying in his seat. Carter was pained by the decision but flicked in a call for just 16,000 more.

Sanchez showed {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} for a full house, while Carter could only show {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Sanchez now sits at over 150,000 as he heads to dinner break.

Kasabov Bombs Flop

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The flop read {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. There was a decent-sized pot already in the middle and Boris Kasabov made a chunky bet of 35,000 into a pot of around the same amount.

Bart Lybaert thought briefly before scuttling his cards across the table for the fold to give Kasabov the chips.
