Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Shahar Levi raised the button to 90,000 and Kabeelan Rajamurthy then repotted in the small blind. Levi pushed all in and Rajamurthy called for around 400,000.

Kabeelan Rajamurthy: A♦J♦J♠8♣ All in
Shahar Levi: A♣A♥4♦2♥

The aces held on a board of Q♦6♣2♠10♥7♠ and that spelled the end for Rajamurthy. Several other notables have also vanished as of late.

Matthew Wantman: A♥A♦8♠6♠ All in
Jonathan Azoulay: A♠K♥J♣2♠

Azoulay flopped a plethora of outs on the 9♥10♠K♦ flop, but the 3♥6♣ did not bring any of them as Wantman's aces held.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action was picked up as Kilian Loeffler's cards were swept away on a board of J♠7♥6♦7♠K♠.

He had gone all in for his final chips before the river and had been looked up by Danny Tang. Tang had tabled K♥K♣J♥6♣ and made a full house on the river to eliminate Loeffler.

On another table, Daniel Negreanu was eliminated from the tournament, after which he happily obliged to take a picture with a fan.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Eric Kurtzman and Phil Ivey had created a pot of 345,000 when a flop of Q♣A♠2♠ was fanned. Kurtzman checked from middle position to Ivey on the button, and the latter made a pot-sized bet.

Kurtzman called and check-called Ivey's all-in for 40,000 on the 7♦ turn as well.

Phil Ivey: A♥Q♦6♥3♦ All in
Eric Kurtzman: A♣7♥6♣4♠

Ivey's top two pair held against the aces and sevens of Kurtzman on the 9♥ river, and he doubled up to climb to a seven-figure stack.

Just before, Erik Seidel had busted in the seat next to Ivey, with Martin Kabrhel replacing him.

Chase Steely bet a four-way limped pot on the A♦7♦5♠ flop and all his opponents folded.

One hand later, Bogdan Capitan raised to 85,000 from under the gun and Sean Winter called in the big blind. The K♦4♦3♥ flop was checked and Capitan lost one time bank when he didn't notice it on the other side of the dealer. He then bet 100,000 and Winter snap-folded.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel put Eric Kurtzman all in on a completed board of 2♥6♠2♣9♦4♣. Kurtzman called off for his remaining 150,000 or so chips and Kabrhel tabled K♣K♦Q♠2♦ for trip deuces.

Kurtzman added his cards to the muck and swiftly left the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Jesse Lonis got his final few blinds in against Dirk Gerritse and lost the encounter to be eliminated.

Bedell and Hook Hit the Rail

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The field is already down to the last six tables after frantic opening two hours and the latest players to fall included Tom-Aksel Bedell and Charlie Hook.

Bedell was all-in after the J♣10♥8♣ flop against Bryce Yockey with the A♠K♣J♠6♦ for top pair and a gutshot while Yockey had the K♦K♠Q♠8♦ for the overpair.

The 7♠ turn and 4♣ river were both blanks.

Soon after, Hook was all-in prior to the 8♣6♠5♣ flop and awaited his fate while Yockey and Jim Collopy checked to the 4♠ turn. Yockey bet 150,000 and Collopy called to see the 9♠ on the river.

Yockey used a time bank to check, and Collopy used a time bank to then bet 375,000. No call by Yockey followed and Collopy tabled the A♠J♠10♣9♣ for the nut flush in spades to send the next opponent to the rail from Table 142. Hook exposed his A♦Q♥10♦7♥ briefly and their table broke right after as the field was reduced to the last 48 hopefuls.

Kempton and Levi Play Out Huge Pot Before the Break

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Almost everyone had already left the tournament area but there was still a hand going on over on table 136 between Isaac Kempton on the button and Shahar Levi in the big blind. It turned out to be the biggest pot of the tournament so far in which Levi check-called the Q♠9♦6♠ flop for 375,000 and check-raised the pot to 1,250,000 on the A♣ turn, Kempton called.

That created a pot of more than three million to the 8♥ river and Levi checked. Kempton now moved forward almost his entire stack as he kept one T-5,000 chip behind. The bet was for 850,000 and Levi went deep into the tank. He used seven of his eight available time banks before folding several minutes into the first break of the day.

Isaac Kempton	3,900,000 1,375,000	1,375,000
