Final Break of the Night

Level 12 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Out of a field of 102 entries, only around 60 players remain and they have gone on a scheduled 15-minute break. They will play another three levels when the action resumes and that's also when the late registration for this event will close.

Double Knockout for Katz

Level 12 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In the last hand of the level, a three-way all-in emerged and Aaron Katz managed to score a double knockout.

On a board of {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}, Katz had flopped the nuts with the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} to dispatch Danny Hannawa and Sam Stein with the latter holding the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a missed open-ender on the turn.

On a turn of {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, the chips of Parviz Razavian went into the middle with the {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and he was up against Dominykas Karmazinas with the {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Seiver Goes for the Kil

Level 12 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bradley Kil: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

James Cavanaugh: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Dash Dudley: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
