Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Pakinai Lisawad and Nino Pansier had limped in and Corey Wright in the big blind checked his option with only 4,000 behind, with which he will be forced all-in from the next small blind.

The three players checked down to the J♥8♥7♦3♥3♣ river on which Pansier bet 16,000 last to act. Wright folded and Lisawad called to get shown the J♠5♥4♥3♠ by the table chip leader.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a duel big blind versus button, Johann Ibanez defended and then check-called three times on a board of K♥6♦2♣Q♦6♥. The final bet of Jonathan Bowers on the button was worth 175,000 and Ibanez called all-in for 129,000.

While all other tables were still to finish their hands, it was already quite obvious that Ibanez was going to double up as pointed out by another player at the table.

When it was time for the showdown, Ibanez revealed the K♦10♦9♣6♣ for sixes full of kings and it was good enough versus Bowers' 8♥7♣4♠2♠.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Arriving on a board of 9♥8♥4♠5♣, with around 300,000 chips in the middle, Rudolph Sawa jammed all in for 116,000 from the big blind.

Aaron Overton folded in the hijack but Eelis Parssinen made the call in the big blind to put Sawa at risk.

Rudolph Sawa: Q♥10♦7♠6♦ All in
Eelis Parssinen: J♦10♣7♣4♦

The 6♥ river gave both players a straight to the ten, and they chopped up the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Heads-up to the 10♠9♠4♣7♣ turn, Sonny Franco made it 40,000 to go in the small blind and Tobias Locke in the cutoff called. Franco then bet the K♣ river for 30,000 and Locke moved all-in.

While Franco briefly inquired about a count, he didn't make the call and a relieved Locke turned over his A♣K♥Q♠6♠ for just a rivered top pair with the nut flush blocker.

Sonny Franco	595,000 240,000	240,000

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Noah Bronstein had tossed his final blind in from early position and Marco Witt and Elie Nakache created a sidepot by raising. On a flop of 4♠8♥6♣, Witt check-folded to Nakache's bet, leading to a showdown.

Noah Bronstein: A♦K♦10♣5♠ All in
Elie Nakache: A♠A♥4♦3♠

It was looking bleak for Bronstein, and the 4♣A♣ runout made Nakache a full house to eliminate him.

On another table, Vincent Moscati was also all in for his final few chips against Raj Vohra.

Vincent Moscati: Q♣J♦9♣7♠ All in
Raj Vohra: K♥10♠3♠2♥

The board ran out 7♦3♥5♣3♦3♣, giving quads to his opponent and eliminating Moscati.

With those two eliminations, 123 remained as the $10,000 PLO Championship entered the stone bubble.

Elie Nakache	1,075,000 305,000	305,000

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Thomas Zanot checked to Kabeelan Rajamurthy on a board of Q♠4♦4♣3♣. Rajamurthy then bet 150,000 into the pot of around 250,000 and Zanot made the call.

On the subsequent Q♦ river, Zanot checked once more before Rajamurthy risked his entire stack of 460,000 chips.

Zanot spent several minutes in the tank before finding a fold, and the next hand of the bubble was dealt.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kabeelan Rajamurthy	1,050,000 872,000	872,000

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Mizrachi had raised and earned one caller in Eric Wasserson in the hijack. On the 9♦8♣4♠ flop, Mizrachi potted and sent Wasserson into a brief tank.

"I will show if you fold," Mizrachi said and Wasserson replied "no, my hand is too strong for that" before he then pushed forward his stack of 161,000. Mizrachi called and they already exposed the cards before turning them back over to wait for all other tables to finish.

When it was time for the showdown, Mizrachi held the best hand but Wasserson had a ton of equity.

Eric Wasserson: 9♠7♣6♣5♠ All in
Michael Mizrachi: A♦A♣K♠Q♣

The 6♥ turn instantly locked up the double for Wasserson and made the 7♦ river a formality. Action continues with 125 players remaining and 122 will be in the money.
