Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Daniel Strelitz
Daniel Strelitz

Mark Liedtke opened to 20,000 on the button and Daniel Strelitz three-bet shoved a stack of 130,000 from the small blind. Liedtke took about a minute and called with a bigger stack.

Daniel Strelitz: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Mark Liedtke: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}

Strelitz couldn't stay ahead as the board ran out {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Spades} to pair Liedtke's ace and he was eliminated. It was a good run for Strelitz, who was at risk of bubbling earlier in the evening.

Kalidas Eliminated by Vranken

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Down to around nine blinds, Krishna Kalidas pushed from the button and was called by Antoine Vranken in the big blind.

Krishna Kalidas: {k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Antoine Vranken: {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Kalidas was on thin ice on the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop but earned some equity on the {3-Spades} turn with his flush draw. However, the {k-Hearts} river was a blank and Kalidas bowed out in 30th place.

Robert Cowen: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades} and the jacks held to secure a big double for Woof.

Cowen Runs Hot to Chip Up Significantly

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Robert Cowen
Robert Cowen

In a three-way all-in, the short stack of Gary Bodley went in with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Christopher Chatman got involved with the {a-}{q-}. Robert Cowen looked them both up with the {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and remained ahead all the way, even spiked the {7-Clubs} on the river for good measure to knock out two opponents.

Soon after, Cowen tangled in a pot with Jonathan Woof, who had been moved into the vacated seat that formerly belonged to Chatman.

Following a button raise by Cowen and the big blind call by Woof, both checked the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop. Woof bet the {9-Hearts} turn for 15,000 to receive a call and bet again the {3-Spades} river for 25,000. Cowen raised to 80,000 and Woof clicked it back to 175,000. Brief consideration by Cowen led to the call and Woof exposed the {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, which Cowen had beat holding the {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for superior two pair.

Ali Eslami: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The pocket pair spiked a set on the {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop, then locked it up on the {4-Clubs} turn to make the {7-Clubs} river a formality.

Kolev Busts Goodman Within Two Hands

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
David Goodman
David Goodman

Yuliyan Kolev raised to 20,000 and then called all-in for 225,000 when David Goodman jammed out of the blinds.

Yuliyan Kolev: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
David Goodman: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The Bulgarian remained ahead on a board of {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}, which he had greeted with his usual "WOO" sound.

Goodman was then all-in for the last few chips shortly after and clashed with Kolev once more.

David Goodman: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Yuliyan Kolev: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

No help came on the {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} board and Goodman had to settle for 34th place.

Bissinger Goes Runner-Runner to Double Through Sarle

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Christopher Bissinger was all in for around 650,000 on a board of {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} against Dominick Sarle, who had him covered.

Christopher Bissinger: {k-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Dominick Sarle: {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Bissinger was in trouble as Sarle had flopped top two pair and the {a-Diamonds} on the turn didn't change things. However, the river brought the {a-Hearts} on the river to give Bissinger the better two pair and he doubled up to stay alive.
