Defending Champ Busts

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Matt Shepsky was seen collecting the rest Ka Kwan Lau's chips.

Lau had gone all in preflop with KK73 and was up against Shepsky's AA106 on a completed board of JJ610J — leaving Shepsky best with jacks-full of aces to send the defending champion to the rail.

Karakitukov's Stack Going Up and Down

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Veselin Karakitukov has had bit of a rollercoaster over the last few minutes that has seen his stack go up and then back down.

First, Karakitukov shoved for 110,000 on a board of 102J72 and got a call from the player on the button. Karakitukov showed 101053 for a full house, and beat the button's KQ97, who had a flush.

Not long after, Karakitukov was involved again, this time on a board of 94973. There were around 170,000 chips in the pot and Karakitukov had bet 60,000 on the river, only for the player on his right to then make it 150,000. Karakitukov quickly folded.

The 4107 flop saw the action check to Blom, who sized up to 38,000. All three of Blom's opponents thought better than to see a turn card, each choosing to fold.

Shiva Dudani: AQJ10 All in
Ren Lin: A994

The board ran out 7J2910; Lin turned a set to eliminate Dudani on the last level of the day.

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On the A88 flop, action checked around to Ivey who fired a 15,000 continuation bet, receiving a call only from the early position player.

Ivey fired a second barrel for 25,000 on the 7 turn and this time it was enough to get a fold out of his one remaining opponent.
