Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Picking up the action on the Q♦8♦6♣ flop, the action checked to William Kassouf in the cutoff and he bet 6,500. The big blind folded but Stoyan Madanzhiev called in the hijack. Both checked the 9♦ turn and Madanzhiev then jammed the 9♠ river for more than the pot.

Kassouf went into the tank and eventually folded after plenty of table chat.

"I can't win,"Holley said before the K♠6♠3♣ flop but picked up a ton of equity on the 10♥ turn.However, the 3♠ river bricked and Kirschner scored two knockouts.

"I am not playing many hands but that one, I will," Kirschner joked.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a flop of 8♦3♣4♣, Jon Cohen had already made a bet on the button and was check-raised to 13,500 by Martin Nielsen, who was in middle position. Cohen called.

The 7♠ fell on the turn and Nielsen shoved for his remaining chips. Cohen quickly called and hands were revealed.

Martin Nielsen: K♠K♦
Jon Cohen: 4♠4♦

Nielsen had run into a set and would need to bink a two-outer to survive. It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 3♠ completed the board and Cohen collected the rest of Nielsen's chips.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Andrew Kelsall raised 3,000 in early position and Jacob Mitich called next to act, followed by the small blind before Anthony Bahr pushed his entire stack across the line. Kelsall folded quickly but Mitich went deep in the tank.

After about two minutes, Mitich pushed his cards forward and the small blind snap-folded behind. Bahr opted not to show the table even though they requested.

"Looks like ace-king all day," Said Kelsall.

Jonathan McCann opened to 3,500 from under the gun and Chino Rheem moved all in for 9,000 next to act. The rest of the table got out of the way and McCann called to put Rheem at risk.

Chino Rheem: A♦10♦
Jonathan McCann: K♣K♥

Rheem was in need of help against the cowboys for McCann, but when the board ran out 6♥2♥2♣10♠3♠, Rheem couldn't find improvement and was sent to the exit.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With around 30,000 in the pot on a flop of K♥6♦8♥, a player on the button bet 12,000 and Tom Dwan called from the big blind.

Both players checked the 4♥ turn before the 2♣ fell on the river. Dwan then led out with 40,000.

His opponent took out his earphones and began wiggling around in his seat as he considered the decision, eventually leaning over the table to get a good look at the board. He called after several minutes and Dwan turned over K♣K♦ for top set.

"That will do," someone yelled out from the rail as Dwan raked in another big pot.

Ollie Garland

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With the seat of Benny Glaser empty, PokerNews caught up with his former table as they recounted his bust-out hand.

While Glaser was nursing a short stack for most of the day, the start of level nine saw his chips fluctuate up and down until ultimately his main event journey came to an end. With all the money in the middle preflop against opponent Dirk Perdrix, Glaser was at risk.

Benny Glaser: A♠10♠
Dirk Perdrix: 8x8x

The board ran out Ax8xQx5x7x. While Glaser flopped top pair, it was no good against the set of Perdrix sending him to the rail.
