Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Wai Kiat Lee opened under the gun to 25,000, and when action folded to Cherish Andrews in middle position, she put in a three-bet to 65,000.

Lee wanted to play for more and four-bet to 155,000. This was enough to shut Andrews down as she returned her cards to the dealer.

Level 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

David Peters seemed to have lost the majority of his stack earlier today as he shoved his last 102,000 in from the middle position after Jovan Kenjic had raised to 24,000 from under the gun. The action folded back to Kenjic who took some time, used a time bank and then called with the bigger stack.

David Peters: Q♥Q♣ All in
Jovan Kenjic: J♥9♥

The board ran out K♣4♦A♣K♠8♦ for Peters to hold with the queens for two pair and the double-up.

One Flip Too Many for Dwan

Stewart Morrison

Level 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jamie Dwan was forced all in from the big blind with only 10,000 chips. Byron Kaverman opened in early position, and only Laszlo Bujtas called from the small blind.

A continuation bet from Kaverman was enough to get Bujtas to fold on a 3♥K♠Q♥ flop.

Jamie Dwan: 9♥9♠ All in
Byron Kaverman: A♥J♦

The 2♣5♠ runout was safe for Dwan as he trebled his stack.

The very next hand, Bujtas raised on the button to 27,000. Dwan moved all in for 30,000, and Thomas Muehloecker called from the big blind.

On a flop of 6♠4♠Q♣, Muehloecker chose to lead out for a bet of 26,000, Bujtas responded with a raise to 83,000, and Muehloecker called.

The turn 8♥ didn't slow Bujtas down, and when checked to, he moved all in for roughly 450,000, which got the fold from Muehloecker.

Jamie Dwan: 9♣9♠ All in
Laszlo Bujtas: A♦Q♠

Dwan found himself with pocket nines for the second hand in a row, but this was a flip he wasn't able to win as the board ran out clean for Bujtas, and Dwan headed to the exit.

Player	Chips	Progress
Byron Kaverman	950,000 57,000	57,000

Laszlo Bujtas	775,000 165,000	165,000

Level 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sriharsha Doddapaneni made it 25,000 from under the gun with Alexandre Reard calling on the button, Alexandros Theologis calling out of the small blind, and Adam Hendrix defending his big blind.

The action checked to Reard on the 2♣2♦3♣ flop and he bet 25,000. Only Theologis called.

Both players checked the K♠ turn for the J♥ to hit the river. Theologis bet 16,000, which Reard quickly called. Theologis flipped over 7♥7♣ for a pair of sevens, causing Reard to muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alexandre Reard	1,380,000 126,000	126,000
