Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The cards of Firas Kashak were just in the muck when he paid off a double for 42,600 by Ian Bradley. The Brit had hit a flush with the A♠Q♦J♦7♠ to double on a board of 10♠5♠5♥3♠8♥ to avoid a re-entry.

"I had a little accident earlier," Bradley said with a grin on the face as he was still below the starting stack.

One table over, Hani Mio was spotted on the way out and his chips were sent over to Roger Teska.

Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Chance Kornuth made it 24,000 to go with the turn showing 9♦7♥6♠8♦ and Ren Lin check-called to then check again the 2♣ on the river. Kornuth asked for the size of the pot, which was 76,500 by then, before he bet 72,000.

Lin went into the tank and ultimately folded, forfeiting one time bank extension. He then offered to pay the massage therapist $500 whenever Kornuth has a "big hand". His opponent was swift to reply "I bet you she doesn't even know the rules of the game".

Eemil Tuominen: K♦Q♥9♣9♦

"That's nuts, isn't it?" Tuominen asked Kornuth who nodded his head and prepared for a massage as the huge pot was shipped his way.
