Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Bryn Kenney raised to 55,000 on the button and Dominykas Mikolaitis defended from the big blind. The flop came K♣8♥7♣ and Mikolaitis checked to Kenney who continued with a bet of 40,000. Mikolaitis check-raised to 115,000 and Kenney called.

The turn brought the 10♠ and Mikolaitis led out with a bet of 150,000. Kenney announced all in and Mikolaitis quickly called off his stack of 490,000. Mikolaitis tabled K♦8♠ for two pair which had Kenney's 10♣8♦ drawing slim. The river was the 4♦ and Mikolaitis earned himself a double up.

Brandon Wilson and Brock Wilson were involved in a pot with a completed board of 9♠7♦6♣J♦2♦ spread across the felt. A pot of 700,000 was already in the middle heading to the river and Brandon led out with a bet of 360,000, leaving just 5,000 behind.

Brock went into the tank for over a minute before dropping in the chips to call. Brandon sent his cards into the muck and Brock scooped the pot without having to show his cards. Brandon slipped to the bottom of the chip counts with just a single 5,000 chip while Brock has moved to the top as the chip leader with over 3,000,000.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Gettings kings cracked is painful. But getting them cracked twice in the same orbit, by the same opponent, is inconceivable.

Alex Foxen opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Martin Kabrhel called on the button before [Removed:548] three-bet jammed a stack of 215,000 from the small blind. Foxen called and Kabrhel called after a lengthy Hollywood that included asking for a count of a bet that had already been confirmed.

"You didn't expect that, did you?" Kabrhel said before wishing [Removed:549] good luck. "Two for Austria against stupid hoodie guy."

Foxen sized down to 160,000 on the J♦3♠4♠ flop and Kabrhel called. Foxen then bet 125,000 on the A♣ turn and Khabrel folded to the "weird bet."

[Removed:548]: K♣K♥ All in
Alex Foxen: A♠J♣

Foxen had once again turned as ace against [Removed:549]'s kings and it ended up being the final blow as the 5♥ river confirmed [Removed:549]'s elimination.

"At least apologize to the man," said Kabrhel.

"I just gave him an apologetic glance," replied Foxen.

Player	Chips	Progress

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Joey Weissman raised to 50,000 in middle position and Alexandros Theologis made a small three-bet to 115,000 on the button. Weissman just called and the dealer fanned the flop of J♠10♥9♣.

Both players checked through to the 5♦ on the turn and the 2♠ on the river. Weissman finally led out with a bet of 60,000 and Theologis used a time bank before calling. Weissman tabled Q♣10♣ for a pair of tens and Theologis couldn't beat it.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

[Removed:548] opened to 60,000 on the button and Alex Foxen three-bet jammed a stack of around 450,000 in the big blind as he got an earful from Martin Kabrhel about an "ugly hoodie" he wore the other day. Ignoring this, [Removed:549] called.

Alex Foxen: A♣2♣ All in
[Removed:548]: K♦K♥

Foxen was able to crack kings in proper fashion as the board ran out 2♥6♠10♦A♦2♠ to give him a runner-runner full house.

"Alex Foxy!" said Khabrel. "You played that very well, especially on the turn."

Khabrel then turned to [Removed:549] and gave him some unsolicited advice. "Do you know who this is?" he said pointing to Foxen. "You can't get it in with just a pair against him. Set at least."

Ivey Gets Rivered Out of $50K High Roller to Make Hemyari's Dream Come True

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Phil Ivey had just picked off a bluff from Keyavash Hemyari to take his 300,000 starting stack to around 560,000 but the two were quick to get into another pot together.

Ivey opened to 50,000 from middle position and then Hemyari three-bet to 185,000 from the cutoff. Ivey jammed and was snap-called by the slightly bigger stack.

Phil Ivey: J♥J♣ All in
Keyavash Hemyari: A♦K♣

It was a classic flip, and one that Ivey was winning following the 10♦4♠3♠ flop and 4♥ turn. However, the A♥ came in on the river to give Hemyari the checkmark and ensure Ivey's appearance was just a cameo.

"Isn't that every recreational's dream?" said Hemyari after dragging in the pot.
