Level 15 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jim Collopy opened to 80,000 from middle position. It folded to Orpen Kisacikoglu in the big blind, who put his opponent all-in for 660,000. Collopy spent one time extension before he flicked in a calling chip.

Jim Collopy: 6♠6♥ All in
Orpen Kisacikoglu: 9♥9♦

Collopy was dominated by Kisacikoglu's higher pair. The Q♦10♣5♠ flop and 7♠ turn changed nothing. Collopy was left with two outs, and he hit one of them on the 6♣ river to be awarded a lucky double-up.

Level 15 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas raised under the gun to 80,000, and only Chang Lee called from the button.

The duo both checked the J♦4♥8♦ flop before seeing the Q♥ turn. Bujtas checked again, and Lee took the invitation to bet, doing so for 80,000, which Bujtas called.

Bujtas checked for a third time on the 6♣ river, but Lee didn't slow down. This time, he placed a bet of 175,000. This was for most of his opponents' stack, but crucially, not all of it.

Bujtas threw in a reluctant call and was shown the bad news. Lee turned over K♣Q♣ for top-pair, and Bujtas returned his cards face-down to the dealer.

Catching the action on a monotone flop of 9♠5♠K♠. Jovan Kenjic checked from the big blind before OIpen Kisacikoglu bet 45,000 from the button. Kenjic check-raised to 105,000, which Kisacikoglu called.

The 7♣ dropped on the turn and Kenjic continued with a bet of 250,000. Kisacikoglu called again.

After few moments after seeing the 10♣ roll off on the river, Kenjic jammed for Kisacikoglu's remaining 535,000. Kisacikoglu looked back at his cards and then made the call.

Kenjic revealed K♥Q♣ for a pair of kings and lost the pot to Kisacikoglu's 10♠9♣ for a rivered two pair.

Kisacikoglu continued for 40,000 on the 2♣6♦8♥ flop, which Sotiropoulos called. Mota then check-raised huge to 275,000, which only Kisacikogu called.

Mota fired bets of 225,000 on the 2♠ turn and 500,000 on the 6♣ river. Kisacikoglu called twice, but mucked his cards when Mota showed Q♣8♦ for eights and sixes.

Stewart Morrison

Level 16 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas raised to 80,000 in the cutoff, and only Wai Kiat Lee called in the big blind.

On the 2♠Q♥4♥ flop, Bujtas continued for 50,000 when checked to. Lee sprang into action, check-raising to 110,000, but the betting action wasn't over yet. Back to Bujtas, who three-bet to 185,000. This time, Lee just called.

The turn came the K♣ and Lee checked again. Bujtas then moved all in for his remaining 350,000, and Lee snap-called.

Laszlo Bujtas: A♦Q♠ All in
Wai Kiat Lee: K♠10♠

Bad news for Bujtas as his opponent had taken the lead on the turn. The 8♠ had no effect, and Bujtas headed to the exit.
