Level 10 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

David Peters raised to 35,000 on the button and was called by Laszlo Bujtas and Christopher Frank in the blinds. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Bujtas led out with a bet of 40,000 which both Frank and Peters called.

Ryan Riess shoved his 200,000 chips in from the hijack and Punnat Punsri called in the big blind.

Ryan Riess: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Punnat Punsri: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Riess was in a rough spot and the {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop put him further behind. The {6-Diamonds} turn left him needing a diamond to chop, but the {9-Spades} completed the board to eliminate him.

Level 9 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski opened to 30,000 in middle position and was called by Laszlo Bujtas on the button and Michael Rocco in the big blind. The flop fell {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Badziakouski continued with a bet of 35,000. Both Bujtas and Rocco still called.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} which slowed the action as all three players checked to the {3-Clubs} on the river. They all checked again and Rocco threw his cards to the muck. Badziakouski opened {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for two pair and that was good enough to win the pot.

Foxen Quickly Busts Second Bullet

Level 9 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Alex Foxen just re-entered over the last break and took his seat with a fresh stack of 300,000 chips. However, with just 20 big blinds, it didn't take long for his chips to go in the middle against Elio Fox.

Alex Foxen: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Elio Fox: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

A queen-high flop provided no help to either player and Fox was still in the lead with the superior kicker. The turn and river ran out clean for Fox who eliminated Foxen on his second bullet.

Eelis Pärssinen
Eelis Pärssinen

Erik Seidel opened to 35,000 from under the gun and Eelis Parssinen flat-called on his left. The two players went heads-up to the flop of {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Seidel checked to Parssinen who bet 20,000 and Seidel called.

The turn was the {k-Spades} and both players checked to the {7-Diamonds} on the river. Two more checks and Seidel showed {a-Spades}{10-Spades} while Parssinen held {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for the winner.

On the next hand, Parssinen opened to 30,000 from under the gun and Seidel defended in the big blind. The flop fell {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Seidel check-called a bet of 45,000 from Parssinen.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Seidel checked again. Parssinen put together a bet of 120,000 and Seidel still called. The {9-Hearts} on the river put four cards to a straight on the board and both players checked.

"Just a seven," Seidel announced showing the {7-Spades}. Parssinen tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a set of eights and raked in another pot.
